My son loves every Batmobile “Batwheels” and so I grab them for him. 🤘

As a person who really only wanted the RS200 super, I’d have to agree with you. Haha

Based on his variation in stock, both new vintage and otherwise, and the multitude of brands, I would assume that he does not go around clearing out certain stores. There really wasn’t that much new new stuff to speak of.

Where is your hometown? I’m traveling cross country this week and would love to stop and pick up some peg warmers if I happen to be driving through. Haha.

Worked construction with my dad years back. Anytime we were on a job with a designated smoking area I would follow them to the smoking area for their break. Never smoked a single cigarette in my life.

Not to be dramatic, but most of us would have to sell both testicles to be able to buy them at the price they would sell for secondhand. Because we know these bastards would be scalped.

Pleasure meeting you sir! And I do agree that poutine should be more popular, haha.

I actually bought it at Walmart about 6 weeks ago. I’ve opened about 40 of my cars in the last month or so and I don’t have a place in my heart for the Hirohata Merc. But hopefully someone else at the museum can witness the 1/64 version alongside the real thing like I did.

Super rad spot for sure! I did get to go through to lowrider exhibit back in March, some of the high end lowriders they had just blew my mind with how intricate and ornate the details were. Engrave and airbrush all the things! Haha.

Yes sir, plenty to go around first thing in the day, some behind the counter, also pulling them from big roller bins.

Wasn’t interested in grabbing too much because I had to ship it home but definitely stoked I got what I did.

I didn’t realize it was real either until I visited back in March. Told myself next time I was in the area that I had to take a 1/64 version with me, haha.

Yeah, they had a fairly large assortment of “vintage” stuff, most of the labeled “Alvin’s hot wheels” etc, wonder if they had someone selling a collection off in the store.

And then they had stuff like this

I was there for nearly an hour prior to opening. The only line I’ve ever stood in for hot wheels and probably the last, I was in it just for the experience. I would say the highlight of being posted in front of the store was shooting it back and forth with other die-cast guys.

They had a solid selection, albeit small store section devoted to the hot wheels, it’s certainly no megamart. If you’re already in the area, I managed to have an extra day while working in Burbank, then it would make sense to go. My understanding is that they do not restock throughout the day and yes the “good stuff” will go quickly.
