I was discussing the HotWheels shortage with a friend of mine. Her theory is that HotWheels are the perfect item for "bulk gifting" - IE toys for tots, or office gift barrels for the needy. Cost is cheap and the recipient gender is (pretty) obvious, thus the shelves have been picked absolutely clean. That made a lot of sense to me, and it was something I wouldn't have considered.
