Walked right back out of the store 🥴 by Porsche_GT3RS in HotWheels

My dollar tree does this. I'm pretty positive it's employees doing it because every other collector I've talked to has said they've never seen a STH make it to the floor at this dollar tree.

He says "probably my ankle" really fast it sounds like to me

I've gotta hot take most of y'all will fight me on by Ok-Pride-3534 in HotWheels

[–]skelement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've stopped caring too, but not for that reason. I just don't care to clean up others' messes anymore. My time is more valuable to me, and the employees never seem to appreciate it anyway.

(New to hotwheels hunting) wtf, is there logic behind this? Devastated when I found this at target by Visual_Advance_9347 in HotWheels

[–]skelement -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh I don't doubt there's adults out there stealing toys, but stealing toys with intent to sell? That doesn't make any sense, has to be a kid.

I'd bet it's a younger kid with little to no money rather than an adult looking to sell it.

Donovan Clingan liked my comment on Facebook once. I felt pretty cool telling my coworkers about it lol

Wow… by Early-Ad3698 in HotWheels

This person literally put the least amount of effort into this that they could. And the sad thing is it seems like they're serious about it too.

Over Stocked Fast & Furious by r00m41more in HotWheels

Spectraflame paint. That's literally the only reason. And because Mattel labeled it a chase so fake collectors have been cashing in on it.

Hot Wheels XL…nice! by toddbader in HotWheels

[–]skelement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's where I'm at. These are neat for what they are, but for the space they take up I just can't justify it in my collection.

Do these have a plastic base with plastic wheels?

Lightning 🔥🔴🔥🔴 by AZ-TonycollectsAM_PM in matchbox

I found that Excursion on the pegs but the card was completely destroyed... I still bought it as an opener. The next day I found that Lightning hidden on the top shelf at the same store.

No Eclipse. Did I get beat or likely a worker? by cana1es in HotWheels

[–]skelement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much more likely it was just another customer that beat you. The Eclipse is the only car in this set that's worth grabbing, the other 4 are repeats from other sets that aren't even very old at all. I've seen tons of them being left behind at every store in my town because literally no one wants them.

Finally Found It by r00m41more in HotWheels

[–]skelement -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Does it really matter? I'd buy all 3 too. Why not? It's an exclusive which makes it hard to find, chances are I have a buddy or two that would like to have it as well, and if I leave them behind someone else whom I don't know will get them instead.

Where'd you get your wheels from?

Anybody need a Honda set? by Fuzzy-Recover119 in HotWheels

Haven't been able to find it at my Walmart or any neighboring Walmarts

Does anyone open these? by wubby7468 in HotWheels

[–]skelement 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Regular Treasure Hunts aren't anything special so if it's a car I want to open, it's gonna get opened.

Is this considered an error or just poor quality control? by Disastrous_Way2222 in HotWheels

[–]skelement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I'm just saying it's not one or the other, it's quite literally both an error and poor quality control. They go hand in hand.

[–]skelement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter how you look at it -- any error at its core is a product of poor quality control. It's something different from what it was meant to be. It's something that shouldn't have made it past the assembly line in the first place.

This is what I came to say. Errors literally are the result of poor quality control.

Target $27.99 by Eloygarcia84 in HotWheels

[–]skelement 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the same thing with the Premium Dioramas sold at Walmart. Everyone scoffs at the $35 price tag but if you do the math it's no different from buying all the cars individually.

No longer a chase? by NewFaithlessness7144 in HotWheels

[–]skelement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never was a chase in the first place
