Been looking for the Shelby 5pack for months and have started losing hope. Was just out picking up some Bells Oberon at the supermarket and stopped by the Hot Wheels wall. Picked out a Gran Torino and El Camino for myself and my girlfriend got a Huayra, Daytona Charger, and 64 Stingray for herself. Then I saw a TOYS sign down one of the aisles and figured I might as well check. Good thing I did!
The corners are a little beat up, but don't care, I finally found it!

Nice looking pack! I keep telling myself that I'm going to start collecting again. My Gf will think I'm nuts, but it'll all be worth it in the end.

My ex was weird about it. She thought it was adorable that I had them all over my bedroom walls, but then if we were in a store together she would get really impatient if I wanted to go look at them. That said, my best friend (also of the female variety) would spend hours with me doing nothing BUT looking for Hot Wheels. Luck of the draw, I guess.

Yeah, I've got the feeling that if I do start. Everything will have to go as soon as she moves in, which Is going to be in the near future.

Well, you don't have to become a "collector" collector. None of my cars, except for the ones I hope to trade, stay in the package. They are actually played with. Of course, I have a 6 year old son, so I just claim that all the Hot Wheels are his. Although this is a convenient excuse, it is at least partially true as I saved all the Hot Wheels of my youth and he plays with them. *Sentimentality Warning* I even hope that someday he will pass them on, as well.
That said, when my fiancee found out I spent $30 on cars at Wal-Mart yesterday she was.....eh, slightly irked. :)

Haha, good to see you raising a future car enthusiast :)
I'm going to be ready for kids at some point, but first comes going back for a Bachelors Deg.
I've also saved all of my childhood cars, hopefully for my future son or daughter to enjoy, and passon.
