I forgot to mention that the Hot Wheels 1:24 scale Monster Trucks have bigger wheels and tires than the 1:24 Monster Jam ones they used to make.

Is anyone still seeing the Back To The Future Delorean with wagon wheels and Biff’s car with manure? I’ve still yet to find them anywhere. I seen the Delorean today at Walmart but it was on the peg with the Marvel cars so don't know what the price is. Sweet! Maybe they just haven’t hit my stores yet.

So I went to Big Lots today and I found the Sriracha Monster Truck. Good thing I double checked the toy isle or I would have missed it. This truck is in the 1:64 wave with Bigfoot. Oddly enough Bigfoot was not there. I don't know the case breakdown with the Bigfoot and Sriracha trucks. They only had one Sriracha truck. I normally don't buy fantasy trucks but this I had to have. I never had Sriracha either.

Made a deal on Fb and got The Felon and a small hub Tuff E Nuff for $11.50 shipped. Didn't even realize it had small hubs until it showed up, I just saw it sparkling in the background of trucks for sale and wanted it, even though I couldn't tell what it was. I loved the unique paintjobs of Mark Schroeder's trucks (putting the name of the thing on the front fender wtf?), and though I do have a Felon, it's the Mud Trucks version, so I pounced on it. I was surprised to find both of them in mint condition, as I always expect preowned trucks to have paint scuffs and bent axles. Apparently they were doubles the seller's grandson hardly (if at all) touched. The small hubs are pretty rad and I wish they'd continued on with those, because they look far more realistic.

Not to shabby on the small hub truck. You'll notice that the axles turn when you roll the small hub trucks. They used to mimic the steering of an actual monster truck.

Anyway ever since I got those premium Fast and Furious cars, I noticed that The Silvia S14 is inaccurate. In the movie the car is left hand drive, the Hot Wheels one is right hand drive. I think they based that car on the JDM version. Also the Premium cars now have a clear coat on the paint so the tampos won't rub off.

I stopped into the Dollar General near my brothers house to look at the Hot Wheels cars. They were well stocked up but there wasn't anything that I needed. I contemplated getting the Tesla Roadster with the Starman figure inside. I have the one without Starman in the Greetings from Space carding. They also had The Fast and The Furious Mercedes that I have been contemplating buying. Dollar General hasn't been stocking Matchbox cars for months in my area.

I cleaned up and organized my rolltop desk in my room were I keep various things and I unearthed my 100% Hot Wheels Cadillac Hearse and Cadillac Station Wagon. I knew I had them but I haven't touched them in years. They were covered in dust. I usually try to keep my loose cars dust free but you can't win them all.
I saw on Reddit that the 19 Ford Ranger Raptor is hitting stores. I'm not a fan of the graphics. It's going to look awkward by my Ford Dealership playset.

So I saw on Reddit that some Walmart's have been getting cases of 72 1979 Ford F150 Pickups. The one that is a replica of Sam Walton's truck. They have Real Rider rubber tires and ring up $0.97 according to people who have been finding them. This is a steal at $0.94 since I want another to keep MOC. I no longer work for Walmart but I always admired Sam Walton's 79 Ford F150.
Anyway I was in Kohls today and I noticed that the Spin Master Zombie has the arms unlike the Hot Wheels ones. Also I saw that Spin Master made a Radical Rescue truck in a 2 pack. Hot Wheels made one last year during their final year with the Monster Jam license. It looks identical to the Hot Wheels one.
Today marks the second time I have spotted a 1:64 Bigfoot at retail. I saw one at Target today. I was going to get the Bone Shaker Monster Truck but I passed on it. It's not accurate to the real Bone Shaker Monster Truck, it looks more like the Hot Wheels car than the actual truck does.

I stopped in Dollar General today and I picked up the Roborace Robocar. I had no idea this was a licensed casting. I did a double take and it's an autonomous electric race car. I almost passed on it thinking it was a fantasy casting. I also popped into Big Lots looking for the Survivor Series Elites and noticed they put out new Matchbox cars. Nothing I already had of course. They were just piled on a shelf which was weird. Also I checked Walmart too while I was at it and they diecast section was a complete mess.

Finally found a 1:24 Bigfoot. Had to rip a case open that they had on the top shelf. Wish it would have been 2 per case, because my son took the one I found.

I've never understood Mattel's "one per case" thing on an item everyone wants. They gain nothing from the secondary market, what's the point of making it so hard to find? I was expecting a lot more from them reacquiring the Bigfoot license. Year one, we just get the OG and an inaccurate Target exclusive. If they don't release all of the WCW trucks somewhere down the line, making that deal isn't a worthwhile endeavor.

Even if it is one per year, they should not be this hard to find. What is this this Target exclusive? The one per case by any company is stupid. It doesn't make me buy the other items while I try to find the main one I want. It does the opposite, I don't buy any of them until I find the harder one. The only HW monster trucks I have bought are the WWE ones. And I bought both complete waves on 2 trips. Those are the ones I would think they would make 1 or 2 hard to find. 1 per case just makes all the other crap clog the shelves.

Gangrel-Brood you are absolutely right about how stupid Mattel is for shortpacking the stuff everyone wants. I think the 1:64 Bigfoot is shortpacked as well. They do that with the new Matchbox cars.

Anyway I went to Walmart today and they had some leftover Fast and Furious premium cars. They didn't have the Trans Am. The only ones left were the 67 Camaro's and 1 69 Mustang. The Camaro's have opening hoods. Also my WB Mason Truck arrived today. It's all plastic.

Well I went to a Doctors appointment today and went to Walmart after. I found the Fast and Furious 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It looks just like the Bandit.
