Help from Die Cast Collectors

[backtomyroots]

Hey folks, new territory for me but someone here must know. I've googled my heart out and couldn't even find them on the Hot Wheels Site .

I'm very interested in the Hot Wheels Monster Jam 2011 1:64 "Tattoo Series" Set. A total of 80 I believe.

Now, where can I find all 80 together ?

Originally I spied a whole bunch at a walmart (yes, I'm ashamed to admit I was in the walmart) and I've got the bug for the complete set .

Thanks.

Bump. I can't be the only one interested ?!

I see Hotwheels as more of a gravity power toy rather than as die cast. I see die cast cars as a scaled version of real everyday car or an actual race car, not some one of kind special show car.

I used to collect 1:43 because is a good scale with the right amount of detailing and generally priced at 1/2 the 1/18 scale.

I guess Hotwheels didn't make a strong impression on me when I was young, many many years ago.

Or maybe no one else will admit shopping at Wal-Mart.

I browse these at local tesco or asda stores when work is quiet.

Seem quite plentiful across the pond.

Doubt you will get all 80 together for quite some time. most major diecast toy makers release in waves. As far as Im aware Hot Wheels are favourite for this and will imagine its much like the treasure hunt series, they release one a month and for some reason there increasingly hard to find(aint found one for 2 month now), with a series of 80 models, they may split and release 40 for the first 6 month and the rest for the last 6 month.

The only other thing I can suggest is get friendly with the staff at your local store!

I know the security guard at one store, a girl who stacks the toy aisle at another and my work colleague has a brother who works at another, They will tell me when there getting a new box of stock in and if Im on time, I get first dibs on the contents!

You could contact Hot Wheels and ask if they are going to release a complete set.

I agree that some of the fantasy based cars are purely toys but think that they do reasonable life like cars aswell.
