    They've been out for a while and I have yet to see any locally either. I've checked several Wal-Marts, Tarkets, and Walgreens. Like you said, pleanty of the other HW Racings vehicles around but no Maverick. :bs:

    I finally broke down and went to ebay for mine.

    My wife and son were at WalMart the other day and sent me a photo of all the Purple Mavs they had found there. They must have gathered up a dozen of them. They were laughing at me because they had heard me complaining about how I couldnt find any and had to resort to ebay to get them. :bs:

    No purple Mavs at a Walmart that I am constantly in due to work here ... branching out to two other stores today in my travels.

    I even hit the Hot Wheels "dealers" at the local huge flea market... no Mavs at all ... they seem to have all but given up on most of the newest ones ... interesting. One guy told me he just grabs odd stuff like the Batmobiles and the like, and I saw some standard Treasure Hunts, but no secret models. Several of these guys seemed to still have a glut of 07-08 stuff. The Nascar stuff is still thick here.

    Start counting? Nah, 121 pages that's too much work. I thought maybe somebody has been keeping track. Just curious, thats all.

    There's a search bar on each thread, or one on the top of the forum.

    Or even plain searching on google would lead you to this

    There's nothing wrong with your question but it's just that it's been asked 20 times in the same thread so it gets repetitive :D

    I know guys. It's all good. As I said, I was being lazy. Wasn't willing/didnt have time to read through 121 pages. If somebody had a quick easy answer that was great, if not, so be it. Thanks for the info though maverick75, I will follow the link.
