About 12 yrs ago I worked for one of the two major cola companies and became friends with the folks at the Target, Payless Drug, and KMart I serviced. I'd ALWAYS get my pick of the new merchandise. I had all the HW Treasure Hunts, Spawn variants and POTF2 stuff I could handle. Heck, they would "zero the count" in their automated system for me just to get more cases in.
It really is who you know that counts, and how you treat them.

But they are pretty commonly found at the 24 hour WalMarts during overnight stocking time. Connection? Probably not. I pulled a real dick move years ago when I worked retail though. There were only 2 guys who were total demanding penis heads when it came to collector stuff they wanted to resell. So I bought the Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts myself for a while. ALL of them. Unless someone nicer came by browsing. I must have like 50 of them...and I don't want them. |

I spotted Whiplash at Newbury Comics; a CD/ comic book store located in the North East.
Not sure if they have them in Ohio, but maybe you should try a shop like that. Good Luck with your hunt! |

I don't like HW collectors either... I don't trust people who don't play with the toys they buy. And I don't think Hot Wheel collectors go vroom vroom with their little toys cars when no one is watching. |
