Hot Wheels NFT Series 3 - Is There A Method To This Madness?

 

In the random nature of unpacking NFT packs, do the packers matter and how do they do it? It is science I guess somehow, I read each pack is a draw from the pile, not presorted and then i wonder when the infernal machine decides to spit out the good good, was that instance pre-destined by fate or program. Maybe the ghosts do it, I can only wonder. My 2 packs are still not opened...

Hot Wheels Peg Scores - Albertsons Edition

 

I felt the gods pulling at my soul the other day and took a gamble and I think it paid off, scored 2 each of the Bel Air Gasser and KITT car. I am getting good feelings about this place...

Kroger Re-stock

 A local Kroger(Ralph's here) that always had cars, has them again! It has been very dry and while I only found cool castings, it's still nice to see the pegs stocked!

Hot Wheels Car Culture Legends Tour Score - Walmart Edition

I was able to score the Legends Tour/Walmart exclusive Custom '70 Chevy Nova/Horizon Hauler  Saturday night, possibly a Legends Tour event was going on, i have been out of touch with the schedule this year due to funds, the Zamac Boss and Skyline/banner combo are all I need now...

 

RLC NFT Series 3 Sale - Closed

 Almost 3k in packs at closing and I only was able to swing 1/2 the amount needed to grab a 3rd one. Prices are not much higher and this series is not as popular as the first 2. Got WAXP?

*According to Hot Wheels, the remaining packs you see not sold, were burned. Roughly 9% of the packs total have been taken from the digital realm and are gone...

Hot Wheels NFT Series 3 - Dropped Into Wallet

 I only could afford 2 packs this round, the dark side of collecting is always near and your bank account can be affected...

Hot Wheels Legends Score! - Walmart Edition

I scored one of these the other night, a Legends Tour event must have been going on and I was lucky to get at least one set, currently out for delivery as I type this. Now I want that Banner and the Skyline...

Hot Wheels NFT Series 3 - Sale Halted!

 Some of the issues that affected the Series 2 drop appeared again today and the sale thus halted until the same time tomorrow, 07-08 in order to fix the check out experience. Fingers crossed the Strip people can get things sorted so that the fans can have a chance at scoring. 

Hot Wheels NFT Series 3 - Day Of Mayhem, Triumph And Heartbreak

 

The queue was smoother this time, the Strip aspect, sucked per usual. With checkout issues still ongoing, I did not give up having gone through the stuff last year. Wow!

At the start of the sale I was given the "more than 1 hour wait" warning and sat tight, remembering that last year it was more of a 45 minute wait, after issues were sorted.  

I got every aspect of frustration that all have encountered, the checkout screen won't show, the pay button will not work. Start over each time, for what seemed longer than the allowed 10 minute window!

Hot Wheels NFT Series 3 - Are You Ready?

 At 10AM Hot Wheels Pacific Coast time the madness will begin and the anticipation is building in the Discord community ranks. Limited to 4 packs per try @$25 each, I can only grab 2 myself today, good luck if you are trying to score!

Hot Wheels And NFT's - Digital Sales Spawn Limited Editions

 

As we approach the Series 3 drop for Hot Wheels NFT's, it seems to me that the more mainstream collectors are catching on and the scalpers of course are knee deep in it as well, with 4 Premium and 1 NFThunt that you can redeem for a very limited casting. The current state of flux regarding NFT's in general had me thinking people were still shying away, possibly so, however the buzz on Discord shows the interest level has gone up. Tomorrow is the info drop on Twitter Spaces @9AM and the Hot Wheels Discord @2PM and Thursday is the NFT drop @10AM. Times shown are Hot Wheels Pacific Coast hours.

Hot Wheels Retro Entertainment TV Series Batmobile - AutoZone Score

Walgreens was a strike out and I skipped Dollar Tree, Albertsons had new ones out, nothing I needed so I walked like a Rooster across the parking lot to the AutoZone and saw this on the peg. Snag! 

RLC 2021 sELECTIONs 1969 Dodge Charger R/T

Came in the mail today and to the right house! One of 2 sELECTIONs cars we scored last year, 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, purpled out in Spectraflame paint with an opening hood and detailed engine. They might make a bunch of these, still cool as you know what!

The RLC sELECTIONs Car Purchase Limit - Speedbump To Scalping?

 

RLC sELECTIONs Lamborghini Countach LP500 S - Soon

 The RLC sELECTIONs car this year is the '82 Lamborghini Countach LP500 S and judging by the price, $30USD, it will come in a display box. The 3D render looks cool, the wheels seemed to be of a miss for some, I don't mind them however. The sale starts either July 5th or 12th, depending on where you see the drop info.
