Bill, were you the one who sent me a hi-res image of what it looked like, completed...? i forgot who sent it to me, thus preventing me from thanking them... i decided against using the picture and have been putting the puzzle together, slowly, by digging through the pieces, one by one and finding matches... Sure, it takes longer but it's much more rewarding... i have several 'sections' that i need to match up, but things are slowly moving along... Every so often, i need to cheat and look at the pictures on the side of the can, but other than that, it's all about the pieces...  |

Bill- i think the stores out here have you beat- all i ever see is those damn, butt-ugly PT Cruisers and those other 'hot rod' vans... Someone at Hot Wheels should grow a brain and realize that the reason i'm seeing so many of these hideous cars is because they never leave the shelf- the just get moved around when people are looking for other cars... |

Wal-Marts in Texas must have a better selection than they do in Michigan. I just visited ours hoping I could buy one for my son's birthday on Tuesday. No luck. They have the worst selection of cars I've seen. |

Jere, good catch... i've had mine since last year, but it was $29.99... & i have 16 1:64 Enzos (which i still think are really 1:59, but that's for another discussion)- one up on the shelf and the other 15 are still in the packages... Already gave one away to Birdie's daughter (she's 18 months old) 'cause she loves when i play any video with an Enzo in it, on her mommy's computer... It seems like everyone, everywhere sees the good cars in regular stores WAAAAAAAAY before they get to NY... What gives...? |

Haven't seen one yet at my walmart but hopefully soon.I decided early on it wasn't worth what they've been bringing. |

Thanks for the notice, I'll also have a friend of mine check to see if there at the Mattel toy club in Ft. Worth. It may be selling for $15.00 there. |

Just happened to be in a new Wal-Mart in Fort Worth with my wife last night and happened upon a 1/18 Enzo. Picked it up for $17.94. Could not believe it was just sitting there on the very front of the shelf. Also picked up the only two 1/64 Enzo models they had for 64 cents each. Des, eat your heart out. Wow, $17.94. Unreal.
