The Alarm Clock Is Not Loud Enough

Work night to pay day means only 1 thing in these parts, hunt! I hit the #2 Wally World and was let down, but I can tell any day now that should change. My number 1 place was second today and open the flood gates! 5 Ratical Racer's from the N case!!!
Breakfast was after the hunt and tomorrow I shall be hunting again...

Hunting And Hunting

I hit up 2 Target stores today and one location had about 10 single pack cars and that was it. Nice display but nothing to hunt, both locations were on K case cars and trucks and real thin pickings. I did manage to score a couple more Series 3 Models and tomorrow is another hunt...

Breakfast Hunt Between Bouts Of Sleep

Working nights makes early morning hunts hard to do at times and to be honest some of my best scores have come after 8 a.m., however dawn raids are fun and exciting and breakfast is tasty. Today around 7 a.m. I encountered yet another hunter( 2 days in a row) at my #2 hunt spot and he was hunting the 3rd Series of Mystery Models. We both had different techniques and he had quite a few cars in his shopping cart already, but I did manage to find 2 El Camino's and a Bone Shaker specials, the Mystery Bone Shaker is pretty cool with red wheels and blue paint with the surf/beach theme.

Lunch Raid Yields L Case Treasure Hunts

A Post Office run took me right by my primary hunting grounds so I jammed back on the way home to see if the new display that was being built during my morning visit was complete and lucky for me it had been finished with minimal picking. I dug out 2 more Hollowback's and this will end hunts for me on this model. If you need one and have duplicate Treasure Hunt's you want to trade with, message me here. These cars are on perfect cards with perfect bubbles, ready to join your collection.

Breakfast Hunt Bust Or Go Home Like Big Dog No Donut

Got to my primary hunting spot only to find another hunter working fingers on the sideways dump bin, I hate those things. Apparently the 24th date was an eta as the Hot Wheels arrived on the 23rd and had been discovered by many fiends. After hunting for 30 min I did my shopping and dumped the stuff into the truck and returned for one more good look and found yet another Hollowback T-Hunt and I grabbed it for a trade later and boogied out. I did score some other cars and I will post those later...

Hollowback 2 For Tuesday

I went back out to hunt Mystery Models and came up short so I decided to grab the 50th Anniversary models, one location I managed 5 models and thinking I might still get lucky at another location, I moved fast and got there in short time. Upon walking up to the pegboard I spied 2 more Hollowback T-Hunts and after some internal debate I decided to grab them as they have been there a while and nobody seemed to want them. I scored another 50th Anniversary car the first location did not have and a trick Custom VW Hauler. The collection grows...

Dump Bin Score x3

Went to my other local supplier that is Wally World and scored 2 Treasure Hunt Hollowback's and an Ultimate Chase Bone Shaker! A "L" case or 3 must have been dumped for the masses to dig through and I lucked out...


 

Dried Up Like A Boneyard

My local supplier is out until later this month, a case buy might be in order...

Got Hunt?

Went on a quick raid to the local Wally World and came up short, had breakfast and did the chores. Series 3 Mystery cars have been shagged and no P case yet. Tomorrow is another day and I will post pics of recent scores as soon as I get un-lazy...

Awkward first post and welcome to my boredom, as if I have the time but somehow it all comes together. Like many people I collect Hot Wheels and have done so at various times in my life since childhood. If you get caught up in the YouTube videos and making late night, early morning raids on your favorite Hot Wheels stocker then check back here later for my antics on the sick journey of  collecting Hot Wheels on a budget at odd hours.
