Hot Wheels K Case is hitting Walmarts along with the next group of Zamacs

My friend and local Utah collectors Mike shared this on IG today: https://www.instagram.com/p/BxslolSJsZ0/?igshid=19sbz5k66ygtj It is nice to see the Zamacs being released more widely this year. Last year was sparse to say the least. Mike mentioned the next guy. I am kind of that guy, because he picked up a set for me. As soon …

This hardware store keeps unveiling old Hot Wheels. Time to dig for treasure.

Note I didn't capitalize "treasure". Such a good phrase, but too much Treasure Hunt connotation. I wasn't looking for Treasure Hunts, I was looking for whatever interesting gem I could find. This hardware store in a rural town I pass through every couple of weeks has a large stash of older Hot Wheels that is …

Last week’s finds: Old Zamacs, a grocery shipper, Fast & Furious, and some Supers.

I've already showcased the three Supers I found in one bin, which was surely the find highlight of the week. But I think I was more excited about finding the the Fast & Furious Premium models. Nonetheless, I documented a lot of it, and that is what the Lamley Extras Channel is for. Some super …

I don’t know what December will bring, but so far this is my only Hot Wheels Super TH find in 2018

I know.  Whhaaaaaaaaaaa. I have nothing to complain about.  But how, when, and where someone finds a Super is always interesting, and that includes what kind of luck I might have.  I don't hunt like I used to, and things have changed in my area quite a bit.  The hunt is quite the racket. But …

Digging for Hot Wheels Treasure in a mess of a storage unit.

Organization Day! The holidays are approaching, and the time has come for my final diecast donation to my local children's hospital.  The cases have accumulated and they need to go to their new home.  That means digging into the storage unit and getting them delivered. It also means making space.  My storage unit gets out …

I found one of those “A bit of everything” shippers at a Kroger store. And yeah, Kmart exclusives (!?!)

I have heard the rumors, and seen the images.  (I have even heard of some shady shenanigans in Southern California by some trying to get to them.)  Special shippers are hitting Kroger stores all over the country, and they have variety to say the least. I found a fresh one today in my travels.  Four-sided, …

Guess what? Super Treasure Hunts are hard to find. And that is how it should be.

Yesterday I walked into a rural grocery store and walked by the seasonal section.  I like the seasonal section in this store.  There are always Hot Wheels.  And yesterday was no exception.  A fresh 4-sided shipper and a small dump bin.  And a little bit further down, this: An unopened basic shipper!  These moments don't …

Don’t forget Walgreens has its Hot Wheels exclusive too.

Walmart has the Zamacs, Target the Red Editions, Kmart its Collector Day models, and Kroger its unique colors. But don't forget Walgreens. The last few years, Hot Wheels has done an exclusive model for Walgreens. Just one, but still. I like the exclusives, and hunting down the one Walgreens model isn't a bad thing. Plus, …

Finding – and showcasing – the fabulous Hot Wheels 50th Faves Batch B

Of course it's the Pink Gasser. Actually, it's the Gulf Galaxie. Nope, it's the Li'l Red Express. It's the whole batch.  Batch B of the Hot Wheels 50th Faves is a step up from the first, with 5 beautiful models.  Those three I already mentioned, plus a clean Camaro and Zamac Drag Bus.  Favorites indeed. …

Hit your Walmarts. They are getting…uh…everything.

Walmart must be ready for its fall reset.  Because the product is coming droves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSc_ZW-6wmA Hot Wheels Honda, 50th Favorites, and Team Transport.  Matchbox Mercedes and Real Working Rigs.  Not to mention basics (probably). I found all in one store today, late after work.  And I was surprised to find all the models there, outside …
