5-1-19 Hot Wheel finds: Delorean, VW Squareback and Mazda REPU

I decided to check the strip of stores near my Fairfield clinic. This is CVS, TJ Maxx and Safeway. CVS and TJ didn't have anything I wanted and a very limited selection.

I decided to check Safeway. I found the display stand and a quick glance netted me these 3 Hot Wheels.

If you know some of these places, the card gets bent and creased as people look and put back some of these back.

I am not a hardcore collector anyway, so I bought the ones I liked with intentions of opening them.

I have the Mazda REPU, but the other 2 I didn't. I liked the Hover mode Delorean from Back to the future.

Here is a quick video of those.

Machine RS 2 and 3

In this Skyline bundle, I didn't expect to have extra chassis. But there were a couple boxes with 2 chassis. Most of the parts were in the sandwich bags. But the RS 2 was missing a set of wheels. I went through the bags to make sure that the everything is there and it seems like it. I've started on the RS-3, but the detail is pretty intense. The body is red and I need to paint the lower half black. I was hoping to get these done first, but I need to get a some different colors. The RS 2 is already painted, but gotta paint the bottom also. I have some extra wheels from the Grand Champion model, so I could use it but it is without tires.

Rant: Not finding the cars I want

One of the biggest issues for me is that I often NEVER see some of the cars I want local to me. When the Japanese Historic collection came out, I was NEVER able to find them locally. When the Transports series with the Japanese cars came out, I was never able to find them locally. Cars and doughnuts? Fast and the Furious? I don't know what it is, but I never see them around my area. It truly sucks!!! /Rant

Hot Wheels Project Cars 2: Acura NSX GT3

Been searching for these cars. I feel I live in an area that has either small supplies given to my local stores or there are a bunch of collectors. I found this unexpectedly in a local Walgreens that is pretty much no selection of Hot Wheels. Nonetheless, I had to get it. Still debating on opening it. I am not a hardcore collector, but I chase cars I like.
