So I was shopping for a 996.....but bought 8 cars instead
 
So I was shopping for a 996.....but.

Ever since the 996 thread started I've been watching prices and cars available with the thought of picking one up. Thursday I took the money to buy one and paid off my debt instead. So I'm debt free, but no 996. :(

I went to the toy store to buy my grandson a trinket or two. And I bought 8 new Porsches to replace the 996. :)

New set by Hot Wheels came out last month. The grandson got a set too. :)

Holy carp, I've gotta get to the store!!!

Z-man 05-02-2015 06:26 PM

Cool. Gotta get these to add to my collection as well!

Paying your debt was the wise choice. And your grandson got a memory of grandpa that he will remember forever.

I don't know how you got those so early. A little jealous. Mattel says they were to come to Wal-mart in June.

Really? One article I read said March realise date. So I should go buy everyone from all the Walmarts here and resell them on Ebay or sit here sipping on my margarita while supper cooks? :D

Thanks for the heads up on the set ... if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for each one ? I'm just curious how much a HW like this is in Canada compared to here in the US. TIA.

GWN7 05-03-2015 09:27 PM

They were $2.46 per which is what was quoted in the comments section of the link posted above. the Lamley Group: Just Unveiled: Hot Wheels Porsche Series Exclusive 8-car set...

$2.46 plus taxes ;)

Reg HW are $1.00

Maybe Canada got them first? I haven't been to walmart in 10 years but I might run over there.

Your cruel...I was expecting to see some barn finds.

GWN7 05-04-2015 10:22 AM

I could post pictures of my 69. It was a barn find. Parked for 16 years. :)
