56 Blown Panel Truck for $1.25
 

I was in Wal-Mart the other day killing time and I went to the toy section to see if they had any toy cars of interest. I found a Hot Wheels 56 panel truck(purple in color) for $1.07(I believe). I went ahead and bought it. The racks were full of vehicles, so I'm assuming it's from a new shipment. So, the next time you're in Walmart, wander away from the wife and fight some kid for that last panel truck!}>

Does it come with any Legos, or maybe some Lincoln Logs?

So, are there no other toy collectors out there?

Yup, when ever I get a chance to go to Wal Mart, I head on down to the the hot wheels section.

Nice score you got there.

Oh hotwheels, johnny lightning, muscle machines......need I say more? I gave it up when I bought my panel. I did not have enough room in my garage for both.....what does that tell you? I sold most of my collection and still have about 1000 of those cars left (for my grand kids). now I just look at them and walk on by.....one might drop in the cart once in a great while I must admit.

I have one just the same! 5 in total.

4 hotwheels (grey, blue, purple, copper)
1 matchbox (orange)

I always wander around at the supermarket for any new finds. A couple weeks back almost bought a gravedigger figure just because it looked very close to the ford but remembered it's a chevy and decided to stay loyal. :-X04

I found a Grave Digger set at Toys R Us not to long ago. There's 3 trucks in the set including the original 51 Ford pickup before Grave Digger went to the panel van. Which the original GD Panel van was a 51 Ford as well :D Dennis Anderson said he just loved the grill on the 51/52 Fords and it went well with the paint and name

Sweet!.
Count me in as a collector, I started collecting about 30 years ago and I`ve got 250-300 Fords, mostly in 1/18 scale and some in the smaller size. Ford trucks always were a little hard to find. I`m not buying very many as I`m getting limited for space now. :(

Oh, that's one of the first new things I get to learn today, and it's barely 8:00 AM. I guess I'll have to take another look, maybe it was meant to be a Ford panel after all. :-drink
