    I had to fight off all the grubbies in the toy isle at Wal Mart tonight, nothing here. Lots of 2010's but no Mavericks. Anyone know the number??

    Well, I won me two of the eBay ones so that takes a little of the stress away from having to find one right away. I'll still pick up more if I find them but I feel better now. :)

    I would bet that Kmart stores are holding all new cases for Collector's Day on Saturday ... might be Mavs in the stockroom right now.

    As I understand it, each person gets to pop open a new case and buy whatever they want out of it. I have not done this before, so don't quote me ... not going to camp out at the store overnight to be the first guy in line either ... :rolleyes:

    Here is an article describing the event ... be sure to click the link to see participating stores ... apparently not all Kmarts do this, and from what I just read, participation varies ...

    http://www.hotwheelscollectors.com/news/news.aspx?news_id=982

    The Grabber is not mentioned in any of the special color cars nor first-to-market ... tried to get a definition of that ... I guess it really means "soon to be available everywhere else". Since it isn't mentioned, they might fly under the radar. By the same token, since they don't say anything about a special color, I would assume that means Orange only for now.

    That is great Ray! That is exactly how I got one also. It takes the fun out of searching through every Walmart to find them but saves a bundle on gas.

    I'm sure they'll be a dime a dozen soon, I'll save my 97 cents for when they pop up at Wal Mart.
