They normally sell with a 300% mark up, not retail.

I think thats what most people on here are doing...
At last count, currently up to 12 yellow xb's, although most are in preparation for xmas. (3 nephews, 2 younger male cousins and a best mates kid). Found 2 blue ones at a Target today.. first time I've seen them in any store.. Its funny seeing the reaction on peoples facing seeing a 29 yo guy hunting through the hotwheels section..

Was out with the wife this afternoon & thought i'd give the local Kmart another go.
Bingo!

Whilst she was looking at clothes i wandered off to the lollie aisle and found these,

So i bought five.
A tip for you all. They come in boxes of assorted fords, holdens etc and there is usually one of each pic to a box. I had to open 5 boxes on the shelf to get mine.

So I had no luck in Sydney :(

Since I've moved to Perth I've been looking everywhere. Today I went to mandurah for work. Had a bit of time to kill so I went to Big W and found a yellow XB.. Score!!

I thought, I'll go check out Kmart too. And found 8, yes EIGHT more yellow ones. So I bought them all!!!

So now I have 9!!! All for under $23 bucks hahaha

So there is luck out there, just seems I don't have any, I've still just got the one I paid $10 for at the toy fair!

To be honest I haven't had much time to go on The Hunt lately.

LOL after seeing this thread I pretty much buy a ford hotwheels everytime I go shopping with my 2 y.o.

Although the rule is no bling crap, has to look factory'ish. Its probably a bad habit but his getting a good collection.
