So there I was, at Walmart because the wife needed 100 slices of cheese. I know, weird. Thought it may be a pregnancy craving but turns out there is a burger burn at her work. Anyway I innocently strolled through the car section and found some new ones. Sorry Jeff LOL.

I think somone at the Hot Wheels factory fell asleep. Found the middle truck at Target this weekend.

I've got the yellow with 57 on trailer and the blue/white '75; really like that color.
Haven't seen the other two yet. I usually find those at Target.

I haven't seen the yellow one except the one I bought. The police truck and the blue one are new releases I believe. I have seen them a few times mostly at Walmart.

Hold on to that middle truck for sure!! You've got yourself a nice error there. You've got the Valentine's Day truck on a Hot Wheels Delivery card. The Valentine's Day series is a Wal-Mart exclusive and you found one mis-carded at Target. Cool.

Here's one someone might want - http://cgi.ebay.com/ZEE-Toys-Rough-R...item335b02978e

It says Ford, but it doesn't look much like a Ford to me.

[bigblock73]

No, it looks like a Courier...but the package graphics illustrate full size Chevy

[Hook'em]

I was definately influenced by the package graphics. I don't even remember a Ford Courier, probably for good reason.

I found them at the beginning of the month so I believe they are.

The wheels on the so real concepts turn side to side to side riight?

[1badgmc]

This is my small 1/64 scale square body collection.

The first 3 are more recent acquisitions. 2 Hot Wheels and 1 Matchbox. I have 2 of each of the 3 trucks so I can have one out to display and the other left in the blister. I've never run across any more than just these 3 pairs or I would have picked them up too.






Then there's my original Fall Guy truck made by Ertl. I put a lot of miles on this one as a kid. Now it's got the easy life parked on the shelf with the other trucks.




Looking through this thread helped to freshen my memory. There are a lot of trucks posted in here that I just know I have boxed up and stored away. I may need to go do some digging.

[rollin thunder]

Boy i wish my wal mart would carry these dang hotwheels and stuff. this is the only square ive seen, id like to get one thats not tubed but the holy grail for me would be a model to make a duplicate of my truck

[1badgmc]

I've been looking for that blue "Hot Ones" version, but I don't think I'm going to find it. I'll probably have to resort to eBay.

[rollin thunder]

I actually bought two.(just in case) idk what happened to the other so a wise investment i guess. but it seemed like my wal mart was overstocked on these when they had them. i doubt i find it but if i do i can let you know.

[1badgmc]

That one and The Hot Ones Custom '77 Dodge Van are 2 that I've been looking for, but probably won't be finding. I like to get 2 of each myself that way I can open one and park it on my shelf behind my desk.

I think of these Hot Wheels as 73-80s...Ramblin' Wrecker and Backwoods Bomb:

[1badgmc]

My Larry's Towing Ramblin' Wrecker was always one of my favorites as a kid. Did you know that when that one was originally issued, it had the actual home phone number of Larry Wood (the designer) on the side. He was getting lots of phone calls before they reissued it. If you can ever find one of those with the phone number, it's worth some big money.

[special-K]

I always liked these,too. Yes,I did know about the ones with Larry Wood's #. I'm holding out for an excellent to mint. I just got a mint yellow one I'm real happy about. Those were in a set,so no package. I wanted to bid that packaged original shown. I don't have PayPal (ever) and for some unsolvable reason can't get it under my current Ebay name and e-mail. So,I always send a message asking if a postal money order would be accepted before I bid and how this is how all my transactions have been carried out with great success (100%). Out of 50 or more purchases I've had 3 say no and that guy (DH) was one of them. HWC reissued that same white truck commemorating Larry's 40th ann. and a Charcoal one as a HWC issue
The Backwoods Bomb came in Green w/dragon tampo. Then,there's a blue version (fairly rare) with a stripe tampo,which is the same tampo as on the '12 re-issue in the same Green as the one w/dragon. I got the ok to bid on that blue one in the package,went to check it out and it was already up to $68 or so,and I didn't bid. That thing ended up at $169!!

looks like no one else found the monster truck yet. I dont think the black and blue hotwheels racing ones have been posted yet either? These are from my boys collection.
