So here's my latest week of findings. I've been after some of the Demolition Man cars from 1993 and bought 2 on eBay for a reasonable price. I got the GM Lean Machine and Oldsmobile Aurora I stopped in AutoZone yesterday and found the 45th Anniversary Bigfoot by dumb luck. I never thought I would find one in stores. Speaking of Bigfoot trucks, I found a reasonably priced Target Exclusive Bigfoot 8 today on eBay for $7.55. I never am able to find Target exclusives since my nearest Target is 25 miles away. I still need the Star Bigfoot from 2006. I can't find that at a reasonable price though.

There is a line of Mario Monster trucks I grabbed recently. Maybe they are old, but not sure.

So I went to TJ Maxx today and found 2 Hot Wheels ID's for $3.99 They had the Fiat 500e and one Highway hauler 3 or something like that. I got the Fiat since I like electric cars. Apparently this Fiat is technically the same casting as the Fiat 500 just a little different on the front and rear ends. Also Bigfoot 8 arrived from eBay today. I got it at a great price. Not bad for a Target exclusive I will never find in stores.

Well the Charlie's Angels Bigfoot arrived in the mail today. I also went to Walmart and they put out new Matchbox cars for the first time in a great while and picked up the LEVC TX Taxi, Mr. Bean Mini Cooper and 19 Jeep Renegade. Also they put out new Boulevard cars, and I managed to snag the Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno and 69 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. My wallet hurts

So I went to Walmart today and they put out some new cars. Most of the stuff was gone by the time I got there, I'm looking at you McLaren Speedtail. Surprisingly enough there was 1 left of the Koenigsegg Jesko and '96 Chevrolet Impala SS. I did see the Power Wheels Bigfoot however it's in 1:24 scale. I caved in on eBay and dropped the most I'll ever spend on a Monster Truck, $20 for the Target exclusive Star Bigfoot

Well my Target exclusive Madusa Bigfoot arrived in the mail today. This is the most I've ever paid for a monster truck, at $20. I went out of town today to do some shopping at Kohls and Target and came across some surprising finds. The Spin Master Monster Jam BKT Tires ride truck was found at Kohls and the McLaren Speedtail I picked up at Target. I joked to my mom after my Bigfoot arrived in the mail today that by dumb luck I would see this Bigfoot when I go to Target. However as usual I never find the Target exclusives. I'm glad I bought it online which saves the amount of gas driving 50 miles round trip to go to my nearest Target. 2006 Target Exclusive Madusa Bigfoot. This truck has a few historical inaccuracies. The packaging says the truck is Bigfoot 9. This truck is from 2006 and is not Bigfoot 9 because Bigfoot 9 was confiscated in a customs debacle in Brazil. Bigfoot 9 had the same paint scheme as Bigfoot 8. Unlike some of the other Hot Wheels Bigfoot's such as the new Super Duty one and the Charlie's Angels Full Throttle one, the Madusa Bigfoot lacks a detailed painted grille and headlights. Also the Madusa Bigfoot had her name on the truck. The Hot Wheels one lacks her name on the sides. Overall it's a great truck sans the inaccuracies. The McLaren Speedtail and BKT Tires Ride Truck. Speaking of Ride Trucks I caved in and bought the Spin Master Grave Digger Ride Truck chase off of eBay for a birthday present for myself. The Grave Digger Ride Truck is commanding an average asking price of $30 on eBay. I paid around half of that. I am such a sucker for ride trucks. With all of this ride truck kick going around, I felt like acquiring an old Hot Wheels Surf Monster ride truck. However the Hot Wheels version isn't accurate to the real Surf Monster. It has a different paint job and has surf boards on the roof which the real one did not. I might shop around for a Hot Wheels Super Trucker if I can find one at a decent price.

So I caved in and ordered the Spin Master Grave Digger 11 Ride truck off eBay. It arrived on Monday. Also I went to Walmart yesterday and my buddy who is the dept manager of Toys let me open a case of Hot Wheels cars and found The 99 Ford F-150 Lightning, Porsche 914 Safari, 70 Chevelle SS and Mazda RX3. There were no Supers or chase ID's In the case. After 14 years of searching I finally was able to acquire the 2006 First Editions Custom 55 Chevy Panel. I got a great deal for one on eBay. Grave Digger 11 Walmart Haul The Missing 2006 First Edition

Found a BTTF ID at Target today along with a Darth Vader ID (which I thought was an Apple exclusive?). Also found a ton of Red Editions, so if anyone needs any them message me. Never found a single Red Edition in any Targets in FL, but now that I'm in LA for awhile I'm finding them left and right.

Years ago when I was 12 years old, I was in Wegman's with my Mom and Grandfather, and I saw this awesome Monster Jam truck called Super Trucker. I asked my mother to buy it for me. She said no several times. After leaving the store empty handed, I would be on the hunt for this obscure Monster Jam Truck. Older metal base small hub trucks can be quite expensive. I managed to find one on eBay for $5.99 which was a steal at that price. It finally came today. Who is laughing now mother?

I was out of town today and stopped in 2nd & Charles. I never buy anything there until today, when I came across this vintage Action Pack from 1997.

Found a Matchbox '59 Dodge Coronet Police Car at Walmart tonight. Really nice one to have. Also found a Hot Wheels '88 Honda CRX that was all white eith the other colors missing. Obviously a factory error but i thought it was pretty cool.

I turned 31 today and I had gone out to Boscov's today to look around in the toy dept and they put out new Monster Jam trucks. I picked up a Stone Crusher. I went to Walmart and found the Monster Mutt Dalmatian. The Spin Master Monster Mutt's are way better than the Hot Wheels versions. They have tails and ears that look like they are flapping in the air. Hot Wheels never had that amount of detail in their Monster Mutt's. I went to Ollie's today and I picked up my first Johnny Lightning in years. I picked up a white Cadillac Allante and an Hot Wheels ID Volkswagen T1 GTR. ID's are $2.59 at Ollie's.

I finally have a VW Drag Bus to call my own. I purchased the Hot Wheels Custom Car Designer CD ROM for Windows 95 on eBay, just for the VW Drag Bus that was included with the game. VW Drag Buses weigh 100 grams and for that reason, it's heavy and expensive for Mattel to make them in high numbers. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the CD ROM though.

So I went a little overboard at the Farmers Market Yesterday. One seller had cars that I've been hunting down I got a bunch of first editions I've been after. Also I managed to get an ex-Corgi Ferrari Testarossa. Another seller had a Matchbox Bedford Horse Van for $2. Finally another seller had 2 premiums for $2.47 under retail which was great.
