Finally found the 22B I've been looking for, as well as a few other interesting models. I probably already have that Miata, but one can never have enough Miatas, right?

I am still looking for that one, and the OTHER Subaru coupe... the Matchbox SVX.

I never did find the black mainline Matchbox BMW i8 (i did find the premium blue one) last year, so I am not holding out a ton of hope... almost willing to buy one online, but I HATE scalping like that, so I don’t want to support it.

I found a lovely pea-green W123 300TD from Matchbox the other day.

That’s one of my favorites. Such a ‘70s color. I was incredibly excited when I first spotted that one - it’s like they made a Jalopnik special with that one model.

It’s been a good week for hunting...

Sounds like you need to be on the lookout for my finds from Saturday.

I still need to find a 22B for my desk at work. Haven’t been in a Walmart or anywhere with a decent hot wheels selection for a while.

I found mine at Target. I don’t remember what I went in there for, but that’s what I walked out with!

That’s a nice selection! Just when I think I’m finally caught up they come up with more interesting models and my bank account gets depleted, one dollar at a time...

I only found the blue one. I want a red one too! I’m also a heathen who takes them out of the packaging. 

I wonder if they make a BRZ hot wheels...

Are you talking about the 22B or the Miata? I’ve only seen one color on the 22B, The classic blue,  whereas I tend to grab a Miata whenever I see one - I must have half a dozen in various paint schemes.

I am referring to the Miata :)

damn.

I went to the nearest city twice last week while I had some time off, and neither time did I find anything new.

Unfortunately the small town near me, the two box stores close down in the last 18 months that used to have a toy section. Now there is just a grocery store and a discount store that either don’t carry anything, or only have old surplus stock in small quantities
