Well, That’s Just Super

Well, lookie here.

Last Sunday I waltzed into Walgreens for a newspaper and a gallon of milk, and what did I find in the toy section?

Blurry phone-cam goodness (taken while it was still hanging on the peghook):

That there what they call a Super Treasure Hunt car. From what I understand, these versions are extremely rare because they have rubber tires and 6-spoke wheels. Your standard Treasure Hunt car has the one-piece tire/wheel variation. And trust me when I say that because I’m no longer a Hot Wheels collector, I had to do some research on that.

(Maybe this isn’t a good time to mention to collectors I work across the street from Mattel Corporate HQ. And go there every other day on lunch to find some incredible deals. And also applied for a job via their Web site for which I’m qualified. Ahem.)

Anyway, that also means I could easily sell it for at least ten times the amount I paid for it–99 cents. But I won’t. It belongs to The Kid and he can do what he pleases with it.

Aren’t these things for kids anyhow?
