Hi all, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

I was at Walmart yesterday and stumbled upon this new issue "Hot-Wheels" Boulevard metal 914-6 model car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Paid $2.50 and what a deal. Now I have to check out more stores for my Hot Wheels Stash.

Faux rust or it could just be the exterior orange color?

That 914/6 is in my price range! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Every time I go looking, they don't have any. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Someday.

Hi Guys,

Today during my business travels I stopped for lunch at a restaurant next door to a WalMart in the Lansing, MI area. On a wim, I went in and WOW they had (9) 914-6 HotWheel Blvd. models on display. So I bought them all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Does that make me a 914-OCD addict?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Now I have (10) of them and only (4) grandkids to give them too. Any 914-6 friends want one?? Wolfgang, Eric, Etc.??

One of the rivets is always painted body color along with the body before assembly. Though I suppose it's fitting as 914s begin rusting there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Are you certain you paid $2.50 each?! They're $3.47 + tax at every Wal-Mart I've been too, & $3.99 anywhere else you can find them... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Yep, probably... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) I've purchased between 16-20 of them, though I've been redistributing them to the 914 community at cost! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Saving 1 914 at a time from kids and Hot Wheels track sets! Not that any kids are buying $4 rubber-tired cars anyhow?

They are $1 at Kroger, but the selection stinks. I picked up the BMW 2002 a couple of days ago, but they didn't have any 914s.
