WTF, have you seen this?.. I was going to buy one today.. But the cashier didnt get to the register in time and I couldnt wait any longer and I opened it.. The car inside Sucked!!!! anyways.
http://www.i-mockery.com/blabber/2008/05/19/hot-wheels-mystery-cars-part-2-of-2/ a few comments on the mystery cars.. I dont understand it and not giving it much thought. But is the car worth more unopened someday? It also appears that there is no code for them.
Well Hot Wheels are known collectibles. I still have some cases of them from days past. I used to do SO MUCH SHIT with those things. Anything you can imagine., I remember throwing them off a 3rd story deck windows just for fun. Well the ones I didn't like anyway.....
but I didnt buy the car. I opened it while I was waiting and left it on the candy shelf. I said "mystery over". It was at Kmart..
Clever marketing scheme to reduce leftover stock of models that didn't sell well without sacrificing profit margin, maybe even with a premium markup!
I always wanted to get a whole big box of cards, and open all the packs. Opening was the most fun, IMO.
