That is typical for Mattel Creations.
I wasn't even remotely tempted. £80 for a Hot Wheels product? Fuck off!

I see the $80 Hot Wheels Prime sold out as fast as the Origins stuff does. That's okay, there's plenty now on eBay at twice the price. |

IT BEGINS.
I have been regularly checking local stocks of Hot Wheels. No Prime or Bumblebee yet.

I'm rarely in Asda because it's awkward to get to but I happened to be there last week. I couldn't find a thundertank in the Hot Wheels pile. I'll have to go back and have a look for one of these.

I've been looking for them both, but I rarely ever find the big rigs, or whatever Optimus' line is called.
And given how Hot Wheels collectors are, and how Bee is being distributed, I have basically zero faith in finding him.
At least BBTS offered a preorder for Op.

Got Optimus this morning, although when I got to the counter he didn't scan. The nice lady in charge of the self service tills still put him through for me.

I found a Bumblebee in Smyths last week. Didn't think of looking for Optimus.

Optimus Prime and Thundertank acquired.
I caved in and got them the expensive way, on eBay.
The card backs are nice, so they are going to stay MOC.
Optimus is superb, incredible attention to detail.

Prices on Ebay are dropping. I am sure there will be plenty to go around after the scalpers get bored.

I paid £30 for mine. More than I've paid for any previous Hot Wheels vehicle.

I look forwards to this being unobtainable. I have seen Bumblebee *once* and Optimus Prime *never*, despite much hunting.  -Ralph |

Online prices are lowering. Think they have overcharged all those willing to take it.
