It's probably also at Target for those that hate Walmart. I'm just your typical CSOB 914 owner who refuses to pay more. |

Same here, the clerk told me that people line up Tuesday mornings to go through the new inventory - I like this but will not fight them that early. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The flippers pay off the sore employees to pick the specific cars they want before they even get to the shelves. They rifle the boxes in the back, peel off the list of specific models the flippers are after then get their employee discount and the cars all end up on ebay or the swap meets for a full 100% + mark up.
Some times you can get lucky at an obscure grocery store or drug store and actually find one... I gave up trying years ago... |

I'll likely waste 2 hours tomorrow looking for some. Missed most of the collector series cars and notably the 914 by being late to the hunt.

Interesting thread. I had no idea that Hot Wheels did 914's or even Porsches in general for that matter.

Matchbox and Hot Wheels both have 914 collectibles. They run a big batch and then disappear for a year or so.
Do a search on Matchbox and or Hot Wheels to see everyone's collection. |

I hit all the Wal-marts and grab lots of Porsches, but not for ebay, I use them in my gift bags at swap meets. I tried to buy directly from Mattel but they wouldn't sell to me, since I don't have a store-front. Even though I said I was giving them away.
So if you've been missing out, meet me at the next swap and grab a FREE gift bag, there might be a car inside! Attached image(s) |

Walmart still getting more in.
Didn't see the Mazda or NSX this time. I just noticed that the 914 is the Magnus Walker edition, but no where on the box does it mention it. |

Scored a couple of 914's and the MOMO 935 at Target yesterday. Passed on the 962. They're around if you are looking.
