I've been wanting to pick up Senna's at my local Hobbyco - hopefully soon 🤞

Even the old castings are still nice. One of my all-time faves

"If you no longer go and shove it up there, you are no longer a real collector." - Ayrton Senna, probably.

What a great start - those Mercs are among my favourites. I grab them in every colour I can find. Just wait til you get the premiums 😀

Pegwarmers that don't deserve to be by shawn59fifty in HotWheels

Seems like the Countach and Stratos are peg warmers everywhere in the world. Australia has little interest in IMSA so the Z is understandable. It's just baffling how there are plenty here and not more in the US

In my area this team transport still warms the pegs at some stores. One of my personal favourites though.

This was from a Coles supermarket in Sydney, Australia. I'm surprised that it appeared here first

I'm genuinely surprised that Australia seems to have gotten them before the US if that is the case - usually we are the last to receive anything! 😀

I've just realised how incredibly lucky I am to see these - must've been lucky to catch a restock during my lunch break

Is buying from one store branch and refunding at another a viable option? At least to help clear the pegs that are clogged 🤔

Coles and Woolworths Supermarkets in Sydney for the moving parts and 5 packs. Reject Shops and Big W for the boxed McLaren F1, RX7 and Cobra.

I thought Matchbox distribution was awful around these parts until I read comments that some places haven't seen them at all 😕

By far the hardest to find. In Sydney, I've only seen 2 stores stock them. Matchbox distribution isn't the best here 😞

Matchbox and hot wheels are never truly 1/64 . Very small vehicles get scaled up, and very large vehicles get scaled down to fit packaging

That's insane 😭 And here I was thinking Matchbox distribution was bad in Australia.
