    I have the same numbers on mine (179/247). What does it mean? Doesn't look like numbers produced...

    Went to my local walmart yesterday and the H.W. section looked the same, except there was one of the new Mavericks(not a S.T.H. unfortunately) but I didn't pick it up because I already have a couple. Anybody interested if I go back and get it or find more?

    When I was down in So. Cal a couple of weeks ago I went to the Target in San Dimas and they had a 10 pack with the purple "street beasts" Grabber in it. I have never seen a Maverick in a 10 pack before, has anyone else?

    Only finding 1 was weird as with all of the past issues, when a store got new cars in stock, I was able to find 10 to 20 all at once :)

    Finally lucked out today! found 10 of them on ebay for $16 :D

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/220994342344?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

    $1.60 per car isn't half bad!

    I looked through all the stores in my county plus the next one over and I had a Buddie looking at the ones in Los Angeles and no luck! someone out here was buying them all.

    Which I don't find surprising, we do have the worlds biggest mav/comet population in so-cal.

    It Official ....

    ... the Racing Series Mavs finally hit Florida. Just got 3 a Wally World, along with a stray 2010 Blue Grabber (odd!!!). I had checked this store last week, and the shelf stock had dwindled to very low, these were not there.

    Leaves two possibilities in my mind ...

    most likely A) the 2010 car was sitting in a non-HWs box in the back room after an aisle display got dismantled, and was just unearthed after a long slumber.

    ...or B) Mattel made so many that they are still shipping some out. There were a ton of blue ones out there.

    Good thing I got three of the new ones ... one will have to go in the grandson's Easter basket.

    Now if I can just find a white roof Treasure Hunt Mav ....

    Or C one of those hoarders returned it because it did not sell at the flea market!
