    I finally found a Hot Wheels Batmobile!!!

    October 21, 2007......found a Hot Wheels Batmobile in a KB Toys, Rotterdam, NY. I started lookling though the hot wheels cars that were on the pegs like I do whenever I go to a kmart or Walmart or KBs and was about to give up when I noticed a small pile of HWs on the shelf and low and behold....there it was!!!! I looked to see if I could find anymore but no dice. Just one. I have been looking for one of these for months, now it's MINE!!!!!! I went to pay for it and the cashier explained to me that the HWs were buy one get one half off but I told her that I only really wanted a Batmobile. She then went on to tell me that she saw two of them over there a little earlier so I went back to search again but could not find another. It didn't matter. I got one!!!!!!!!

      oh man, I'm sorry I didn't know you still hadn't found one. I thought that they were showing up well enough now that everyone here that wanted one got one.

      But finding one on your own must feel great! I know when I'm looking for an item at retail finding it without help is a great toy high

        Congratulations!

        I recently came into posession of one as well. Funny thing is, after finding one, I'm now seeing them all over the place??!!

                I have got to the point where i'm not even buying them anymore. Seen four in the last fortnight and passed on them all.

                Good to hear you found one though.

                  I didn't know you were looking either. I have probably bought at least 30 of them...they make great gifts...even my mechanic was happy to get one I have even managed to find a couple of the smooth front ones (as opposed to honeycomb grill)...I look every time I go to the shops. I suppose I will never grow up.

                    They are just now showing up in abundance in my area. I walked past at least 4 of them at Target. I managed to find both variations a few months ago, but didn't see any others for a while.

                        I must be in the minority because they are never around.

                        To my delight I also found my first one a few weeks ago....I literally went through the peg boards to see if there were any others but that was it.

                        The one and only one I have found to date.

                          I still need one with a smooth grill.

                            Sorry Carm, I only have one smooth grill one left but I will certainly keep my eyes out for you.
