User blog:1steditionman/Target Event. June 16, 2018

Today I went to my local Target for the Hot Wheels Event. It was a well-organized, well-thought-out event where kids were first, but there was also space for adult collectors to share the hobby. I counted at least six 72-car L-cases. These were split into 2 dump bins (2 cases each) and two cases (well, maybe three) for the shopping carts where you got your five minutes to get your cars. The best thing about our event is that the Target Associates were prepared, knew the rules and the cases were opened fresh. Also, the kids got plenty of time and space to grab their favorite cars and I saw some adults give up a car or two to kids. Nice one folks! I heard someone finding a Super Treasure Hunt. I got most of the cars I wanted, plus a Throwback car that I won on the Raffle: The Camaro IROC Z. I did not find the King Cuda or the Pawn VW, but I got me the GoPro car, two Red Editions ('53 Chevy and Dodge Challenger) to add to my current 2018 Set, and the Time Shifter Panel Wagon (Pizza Delivery), among other nice cars.
