Notice the side of the card is yellow with an 07 at the top. Makes searching easier as you just have to check the yellow one and look for 07
Ken, got me switched on to this new edition of HOTWHEELS. I cant find a single one over here:ball: . There's nothing worse than a grown man pushing kids out of the toy aisle. No wait that was me!
I done gave all but 2 of mine away but if you really want some I could find some more to send if you cover the cost. I seem to have more then ill ever need, having to walk away from 15 of them in the open the other day. I now avoid the toy section.
70's lark, you got to start smuggling them gsx's out of the Country so the rest of us can find some....
Finally hit the jackpot today - though unexpected as I was not looking for them. Kurt from the board already sent me one which I gave to my son who loves playing with it. Then today I was at Walbaums to pick up some odds and ends for dinner and spotted three of the Hotwheels GSX on an end cap. I bought two of them (would have bought the third as well but the plastic looked a little scratched).
As a long time Hot Wheel guy as well, I found the yellow ones before Christmas. The good news; I just found the Apollo White ones last week (Sacramento area). The white looks just as sharp. The way Hot Wheels work, the "first editions" will generally be the most realistic looking, and lately they have been coming out with multiple color variations. I anticipate several more colors of the GSX 1st edition before they are done. After the casting has been out a while, they will start to doing the wacky repaint schemes and changing the glass color. So in other words, buy as many first editions as you can, they will probably be the most realistic looking ones. I have been begging the Hot Wheels folks to make a Buick casting for years now on their website. Maybe they finally listened!:TU: -Kevin 70 GS clone
So I had family visit this past weekend. They brought stuff for my daughter and then my cousins husband says he had something for me too. He pulls out a Hot Wheels out of a bag and its white! When he bought it at Target, my cousin said to him "Why would Curtis want that?" He told her its a guy thing to want a Hot Wheels that's like your real car. Then I told them I had 4 yellow ones already and couldn't find the white ones anywhere. He gave her the "I told ya so" look :bla:
I still have yet to find the white GSX!! I thought it would be like the yellow one, where it took a while to get to the stores around here, but it is takin a LONG time. Ive check walmart, target, and kmart regularly and nothin. They have the 09 cars but not the one i want. Guess ill have to wait it out a lil longer ou:
>>Hi Brian, I thought the same thing about the yellow GSX but then one day I found a bunch at a Walbaum's supermarket. I'm sure the white one will appear eventually and I'll be adding to my hotwheels garage collection.
We need xmas to come back around. Here local all the stores have gone down to just having a few dozen on the rack. When for xmas they had gian't cube displays full of 1000s of cars on all 4 sides to dig through. Problem is with such little rack space, the white ones are stuck in the back till all the ugly ones no one wants sells to make room to restock.
I am finally seeing them here in south Florida. But they seem to be fewer than when the yellow ones hit. I am noticing the same as 70sLark the number of pegs devoted to the Hotwheels has gone way down.
Well the cube display was back tonight, but I couldn't really look as they had crap all around it for restocking the shelves. Then fun fun my key wouldn't work in either door lock, thank god the rear door opened. I would of punched out a window. Done it before, they break easier then you think when your pissed.
Lots of 10 packs with 1 white gxs in the mix at the local Kmart. I didnt by any due to the 10.00 price tag and i have a few singles already. Check them k marts
I had to make a run to the local Kmart today to get vacuum cleaner bags and of course stopped by the toy car isle - no white GSXs, but as I turned to head to the register I spotted a bunch of the white GSXs on a turnstyle display. I searched through them as a couple had defects (one looked like it had a melted front headlight and bumper!) and wound up buying three - one for my son who is playing with it right now and two for my garage collection.
I found three more at Wal-Mart yesterday. Yellow ones are gone. I was looking for the GSX boy's shirts someone mentioned in another thread. Couldn't find 'em. It'll be cool when I take my daughetr to the Chevy show next month in a GSX shirt!
