There is substantial evidence that at least some of the major retailers overbought Hot Wheels, probably for Christmas. With the delivery pipeline full, they have to take action. We are seeing clearance sales and cases intended for specific stores at the clearance houses like Dollar Tree and Dollar General. We can only hope that they didn't also reduce orders for the newer cases, or the desirable stuff is going to get even harder to find. While I have found a couple Kitts, I have yet to see the new bike. I am afraid that if quantities are reduced the secondary market prices will increase. Then many collectors will get frustrated and quit collecting, reducing the number of customers even more. gunslinger gary wilcox
