RLC Win!

The website is by no means fixed, it took me almost 10 minutes fighting the shopping cart, locking up between shipping and paying, locked up once in the pay screen. After battling the crazed HWC site I was able to get the confirmation screen staring me in the eyes. Woo Hoo!


 

RLC '55 Mercedes 300 SL!


The best of luck today for everyone trying to snag one of these fine examples of the '55 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, complete with opening gullwing doors!

RLC Fail

Today the HWC site decided that I was not to have the Skyline and that is pretty much it. I waited far longer than normal to get out of the waiting room and when I had the purchase screen open upon adding to cart, the site logged me out. Signing back in to the HWC site and clicking the banner would not send be back to the waiting room, but to the purchase screen, where upon hitting the add to cart button, well, you know...
This lasted until the Skyline was sold out...

My Mystery Machine Hauls...

                  
                                                                   265 MPH Top speed!

Website Tuned Up?

I was able to snag one of the RLC Ford Raptor's this morning and while it took longer to leave the waiting room, the cart seemed to run smoother. Perhaps the Mattel people have got some bugs worked out?

GameStop - Hot Wheels Collector Day

 
The 5 minute rule of picking 5 cars out of a fresh case was the set-up, however the store I went to only had 9 cases and 11 people were there at 9 AM when tickets got handed out. By the time 10 AM came around, an additional half dozen to 10 collectors rolled in.
I was the 2nd number called and my kid for a day was 3rd, we both had to purchase our 5 cars each, then we waited for a second go at the leftovers once all the numbers had been called. I was able to nab some of the exclusives, some personal favorites and 2 Mercedes-Benz Unimog Treasure Hunts, the kid and I both scored 1 each!
I would like to see GameStop adopt a format closer to how Kmart did it, I like getting the mail-in art card with a case, they are getting framed to hang in my collection room. At this event the cards and even boxes were given out with tickets and numbers being called, I thought that was kind of odd, but willing to go along.
If GameStop stocked mainlines at a price closer to Walmart and Target, they could justify having more than 9 cases at a collectors event.
In all I had fun, met other collectors and scored some cool cars and the mail in will be a great addition to the collection. Thank you to Mattel/Hot Wheels and GameStop for doing this for the collectors!
