I have the same mentality as you Phil. Go ahead scalper,, run to the toy aisle! Eventually I'll get what I want even if I have to pay more at a meet or a hobby shop. I'm not gonna get mad. To me they're pathetic. I'm glad that hot wheels didn't re-release the Porsche exactly like the original Boulevard one. I have the original and was worried the new one would reduce the value of the old one. Thankfully they made enough changes so, at least for now, it doesn't seem to be harming the value of the original. If I'm lucky enough to find the new 2-Pack I'll pick it up,, just to say I have them both! Awesome video as usual! Hope to see you at the meet tomorrow!
Nice haul on the 2 packs. I refuse to fight the system anymore and bought a factory sealed case from my special hobby dealer. I got 8 (3 Porsche, 3 Audi, 2 trucks) sets for $120 which is $15 each retail. I now have enough for myself & my collector friends group. We never did see the prior series before with the 2 sets of Nissans.
Your story was great. I think we all have similar stories. I’ve been calling these folks animals for years though I never gave much thought into the manifestation into specific animals. I just call them animals. My Buddy calls them runners. He will be on the phone with me snd say uh oh we have a runner. I have a great story that happens at least once a week. I am known in the area as a big collector that doesn’t like a lot of these types of creeps. I am often identified quickly when waiting for a store to open. The doors open, they bolt past pushing and shoving and I just laugh out loud at them yelling to them “not a race, it’s not a race”. They just keep ploughing through all of the secret store shortcuts they have. I just chill & continue to laugh. So what’s so funny? 2 things. They often go right for Supers and miss the real good stuff like premiums, alternate brands etc. the other thing that is really funny is I mentioned I am easily Identifiable. What identifies me? The fact I’m handicapped and can’t walk unassisted without a cane. I’m also short, fat & old. 😂. So who are these clowns racing? It’s really not a race if only 1 person is participating. They are literally scared of a guy that moves as fast as a snail. Just assholes!!!
@@mtldiecastcafeI even have my own nicknames for the some of the guys. Listen you know it’s bad when chubby & baldi (2 Saturday morning Target Racers) are both racing me yet chubby (slower of the 2) won’t stop running his mouth while his buddy the much slimmer, faster & agile baldi is running for his life just incase me, the man with the cane, somehow gets bionics and starts running faster than light. I should also mention chubby apparently drives a Frito Lay truck for a living and often shows up on hunts with said corporate vehicle. Such a high level of pathetic behavior over $1.25 supers. It’s all about the supers. That all you hear them ever talk about. Holy crap outside of 4 maybe 5 supers a year they mostly stink.
I just started this hobby 2 weeks ago and it's ruthless. I really would love to find those two Toyota Haulers I have none, the 300zx is nice but I'm waiting for the calsonic inspired Deco that I think comes out for 2025.
I'm from Southwestern Ontario and was very lucky to have found the entire Boulevard set including the Integra and 323 before the scalpers. The next day the pegs only had the ford van all over them it's crazy what people are doing for a buck haha
Hi Phil love your video's I'm a new subscriber. Just had a question. Where did you get your turntable from. I'm having a hard time finding any turntable in Australia. Thankyou mate
Great story and finds I had a similar story I was at my local Walmart when I entered the store the guy raced around me and ran to the pegs I couldn’t believe it what the hell is wrong with people
Phil - regarding those team transports. The original marketing info & pics indicated 2 of the Supra. Unfortunately that is not the case. The sealed case actually comes with 1 each of the Toyotas and then the Nissan is the unit that is doubled up. I actually had to reach out to the hobby dealer I ordered from who at first said they had no idea what I was speaking about to then just 2 days ago sent out an apology email about the delay in receiving and confirming the mistake with the case count. Original incorrect info came directly from Mattel which was likely purposeful. I assume Nissans on the pegs because they are more available.
You’re exactly right on the scalpers, they’re the same ones trying to sell a hot wheels mainline non-th or sth for over 100.00 if not more. Also known as 🤡 I still hunt when I’m in stores but bulk of my collection comes from online retailers and very rarely ebay (if I find one that’s no reserve and I win the auction at a reasonable price)
Great video once again. I like your story about the Walmart monkey but he was a bit presumptious when he said you were too late....how did he know what you were looking for? I kinda winder at what stage to prople start physically fighting or lilling one another iver a hot wheels car.....mayne it has happened somewhere aleady? Are the HW zamac cars big over your side of the pond? I have never really bothered but there was a zamac 6 car set...all pick ups. I wasnt going to bother but one of the cars is an Auatin Mini pick-up....couldn't knock that back😉 I dont like the transporters either but the 300zx is cool. It is a shame that they haven't done the early Ferrari 2 car transporter or the Ecurie Ecosse transporter but I suppose theyre a bit niche
Not only do I love the new ultra hot series and think it’s the best release ever but more so than any other previous set this set (every car) is ripe for a wheel swap and tampo removal followed with a light polish. End result is a car far superior to most STH cars. I’ve seen a ton of folks take just a hour and they end up with a crushing version of a custom Super.
Some great finds, the two packs were cool. So a cocky scalper said you were "too late" huh? Shiiit, the joke's on him. You had the last laugh the next day, goddamn scalpers must be some young fucks huh? You didn't let that get you down, you kept your cool and let Karma do it's work. If I ran into a scalper and he did the same thing to me I would've just said "Whatever dude, Karma's gonna come around and bite you in the ass". Other than that, another great video Phil
Bro one of my local Walmarts has supervisor who’s friend with scalper, he literally took 7 boxes 📦 of premiums and I asked employees can I get one box they got me and when that supervisor saw it he was like no no no you can’t do this here we only sell what’s on shelves. I was like that bs f this and left

Thanks for sharing your Walmart experience!! And thank God for carma!!!
Great video! 64 Dodge would look great with a set of Cragers!
Hi, just got that boulevard '01 Acura and I left the rest of them. Can't wait to swap out those wheels
🎉 '69 VW Variant! Love it with those rims. Your dog approves of the MiniGT Liberty Walk. The Ultra Hots' rims are too futuristic for me.
I Love your channel you like ALL cars for how nice they are Not because they are a Chase or STH, and you Open everything, as it SHOULD be!
What goes around, comes around - In this lifetime...or the next.
God Bless Mtl dc!

My Buddy calls them runners. He will be on the phone with me snd say uh oh we have a runner.
I have a great story that happens at least once a week.

I love that Porsche 2 pack
You're right, don't get mad- get even!
It's always good to get the last laugh over people who suck at being courteous haha.
Great video Phil.
And for your information Those auto worlds are from the Deluxe line, not premium. Hence the plastic wheels.
Wow you did have a great hunt. Love the chase cars 💪
Channel seputar hot wheels... Keren 🔭🤩👍✊

You can check your local hobby shop or try amazon

You gotta vent sometimes Phil, you were patient got what you wanted.....

I dont like the transporters either but the 300zx is cool. It is a shame that they haven't done the early Ferrari 2 car transporter or the Ecurie Ecosse transporter but I suppose theyre a bit niche
Zamacs are pretty big here but not as big is in the USA

Yes I want to see him again

The Supra is available thru Hot Wheels Collectors, with a $9.99 membership and is selling out fast at $35.
It is not the same supra, but I did order the rlc
