That's right folks! While I have been checking EVERY bin that I have encountered all this 2023 since I first learned of it -- I have not been lucky... might have to pay a scalper on Amazon or eBay $5 for one!

I think it's pretty cool for under $2 if you find it in the bin at your local grocery or toy store!
This is a 2023 release for Hot Wheels, so there are probably still a lot of them out there. Sad part is most of the people with an appreciation for this car will be dead in 40 years... but 10 years from now when they are rare it might fetch $10-$20 on eBay to old timers like us! LOL, So it's a good investment I'm sure -- even if you have to pay some scalper on eBay or Amazon $5!
The detail is pretty good too! Although I think I'd leave mine in it's original packaging and hang it next to my others, which will become smoked over the years anyway since I smoke cigarettes. But that's fine by me, I don't plan on selling them... they are nice to look at.
Might even buy the kid one and send it down to Texas for his desk/tool box. Time is running out, 2024 is going to be here in a few days -- it would be my luck they would raise the price $10 once it's out of the production year and NLA.
