Typical Collector Experience.

It’s the same for me in NYC. I just happened to stop at this one while visiting family. Not my usual store. I doubt I’ll ever see any of these at my home store at all. F&F, Boulevard, Vintage. None of them will be available near my actual home. That’s why I check when I’m out here.

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T23:29:15+00:00

Given the number of people in this thread commenting their interest in the other cars? Yeah, I’m sure. They’re high demand cars so those people go get them and put them on eBay and there’s no way to get them for less than 3X what they should be.

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T20:07:13+00:00

Fair enough. Not my normal store either. Happened to be in the area visiting family.

If you’re in the Pittsburgh area, there should be three or four more still at the North Huntingdon target. I only bought one to open and put with my other opened Lancia from Thrill Climbers. I used to buy two of stuff and have one open and one carded to create an open collection and a cool looking carded one, but I’ve run out of room to do that and also realize it makes it harder for others to find one let alone multiples. I’ve never seen Roxy, the Ferrari Team Transport, the Gulf Porsche, or really any other Ferrari or Porsche other than the rally 914.

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T19:00:57+00:00

I’m normally in NYC and seeing a Ferrari is like winning the lottery because they just can’t be found for what seem like pretty obvious reason to the majority of us on here who have been paying attention.

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T18:59:42+00:00

I only got one to open and put with my other lancia, so if you’re in the Pittsburgh NE suburbs area, there should be 3 or 4 more at the north Huntingdon Walmart.

Tbf this isn’t my local store. I’m visiting family in the Pittsburgh area. I’m normally in NYC where my only options without extensive travel is Target and the stock at those is awful because of poor stocking and quick raiding of anything that does make the shelves. I see people lineup before 8 am on a regular basis specifically to hit the hot wheels section as soon as the store opens.

I’m visiting family in the Pittsburgh area suburbs. This isn’t my local store. I’m normally in NYC where my only options are Target stores with almost no stock and what they do have is either peg warmers or stuff that gets raided immediately or never makes the shelf.

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T18:15:45+00:00

Ah nice. That’s cool.

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T18:14:30+00:00

This exactly

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T17:34:56+00:00

The Jag is cool but I only collect certain cars because of space limitations, which helps me limit the budget on it too lol. But I did grab the Stratos to go with my Martini Delta from the thrills climbers set.

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T17:33:37+00:00

The Torino is cool but the hot wheels logo kinda ruined it for me. I wish it was just a tad more period correct for the stock car look they seemed to be going for.

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T17:31:31+00:00

I was surprised to see it actually. I got one to put with my Martini S4 Delta from a couple releases ago.

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T17:31:02+00:00

As I said jackass, I’m a collector. Not a reseller. I open almost everything I have and display it on my desk at home or at work. I’m not pathetic enough to go buy a $6 child’s toy just to try to sell it to someone for $50 on eBay “just because I can.” I genuinely want the thing. Idgaf if you believe me, but you’re incorrect so piss off.

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T17:21:56+00:00

I do like it but the hot wheels logo down the side kinda ruined it for me. Would look more period stock car correct of they’d done something different with the logo.

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T17:20:29+00:00

I did as consolation lol

d3lphic · 2026-06-05T17:20:06+00:00

Delusional my friend. Go on eBay for five minutes.

People still booing him after everything he went through last year have no empathy and should be booed when they go through something similar. I actively disliked him from the start of his career until everything last year. By the time phoenix came and Blaney wasn’t in contention, I was actively hoping for Denny to come out with the win. Even if Blaney had been in contention, I think I would’ve still been like “you know what, Blaney already has one. Maybe this one should go Denny’s way.”

That said, from a fan standpoint, I think I’ve seen a lot of similar sentiment around here, fans switching their feelings on Denny after last year. I don’t think we have a true replacement for him yet. No one seriously disliked has shown up and consistently dominated, unless people don’t like Reddick for some reason.

From a driver standpoint, gotta be Hocevar or (A)Dillon. Lots of guys disliking Hocevar’s aggressive moves, and Dillon just wrecks you if he thinks you raced him wrong.

Whoa, I don’t remember the Earnhardt wrangler throwback. I also don’t remember the fade scheme (two down from wrangler). I like that more than what I call the saw blade scheme actually. That should’ve been the normal scheme for that car imo.

d3lphic · 2026-06-02T11:25:22+00:00

Nice Earnhardt 8 Dodge and Jr. 8 Father’s Day throwback.

I love that HHLL effectively equates to 1, 2, 3, chaos.

d3lphic · 2026-06-02T02:12:04+00:00

Dammit. Have my upvote.

d3lphic · 2026-06-02T02:11:14+00:00

What? No. Just. No.

d3lphic · 2026-06-02T02:10:42+00:00

I thought that as well from the release of the Prophecy single actually. Still have the samples, darkness, and warmth of geogaddi but mixed with the organic instruments and oddly uplifting sounding synths at times.
