Wal-mart in Las Cruces, NM (near El Paso, TX) had all 8 of them at once. I only got five, some dill weed got the others right in front of me.

So far no luck in secluded WCH, OH.

When the first set came out, I started checking the Wall Marts in my area. I also tried the local Target stores and ended up with some good luck there. I think I even found one at my local Kroger. Those might be places to try this time also. smile.gif

Got lucky on the first try. Here is the display I found. They were together but not mixed in with the other Hot Wheels cars.Click to view attachment

Who wants a set? The display was in the Hello Kitty and Doll section.

I'm on the hunt here in OZ for them smile.gif


On another note, I found this on ebay.

Someone here in Australia got inventive.

Thought it might interest some of you.

Might buy one or two myself smile.gif

Foo, based on the above posts I went over to Wally World today. Nuthin'.

Bought some beef jerky and vodka instead.

I just found 11 of them at Wal-mart in Chickasha Oklahoma, so I think they are out in large numbers. Chickasha is a fairly small town in the middle of the oil patch. Nice people here and a lot of hot wheels. cheer.gif

Its my understanding that this set is exclusively available through Walmart. Can anyone confirm or correct that?
Chris914n6
In Vegas only the ghetto store had any, mostly 959s. The rest on the east side sold out and removed the displays already.
dangerranger01
Had to buy them all.
Getting a spray can of Olympic Blue to modify one.
Would like to make a narrow body, but it looks like the wheels are too wide, hahaha, so might need to modify wheels and axle to do that.

Man, what gives?

So far only one of the Asheville stores had the series (no 914s or 17s), I have also checked... Marion, Morganton, Hillsborough, Roanoke Rapids, Emporia Va, Havlock and Moorehead City. Nothing nada, nobody in the stores ever even heard of them.
AlanG
I FINALLY (well, actually my daughter found it for me) got the 918 Spyder ... collection complete! piratenanner.gif

Yipee - finally found some in Australia at Big W

2 walmarts here in town one had 3 of the series the other had nothing. I already bought a 914 previously online so now iv got 4. Id like to find the other 4 and more 914s for customization purposes. Im going to check Target next. Definatly a cool series though and im surprized they kept the price at $1.

Finally sorta scored. All but the 914. Claton Walmart.
Chris914n6
This is why they're hard to find in stores.

I have been to about 35 Walmarts to include the south San Francisco bay area, multiple locations in PA (hours apart), OH, WV. Found 2. The 914 were always gone, no store display. Plenty of the other models. What gives?

Anyone want some of the old green ones, I have a few extra.

Dr. Evil, i'll send you a couple...PM me your address. It won't ship until next weekend though if that is alright...i'm away from my cache of hot wheels.


Also, I painted one of them to match what I want my car to look like. The other one is bare metal....looks a lot like the anklebiter car. haha

Still looking for a Matchbox Creamsicle. popcorn[1].gif

But I did find these other Mid-engine Porsche teeners. smilie_flagge6.gif

I am so proud of myself for demonstrating control over my addiction. smilie_pokal.gif I only bought one and left the other on the store shelf.

VegasRacer
I give up. headbang.gif smilie_flagge24.gif sad.gif

I believe I have better odds of seeing a Real Creamsicle in the parking lot at Walmart, than of finding a Matchbox Creamsicle on the shelves in the store. locust.gif

I surrendered and bought a pair on eBay. beerchug.gif smilie_wirdgut.gif
