Correct.

Send an email to infoaust@mattel.com just stating that you're interested in a 2010 Hot Wheels Poster (the one detailing all the cars for the year), and they will send one out to you, free of charge.

I had to wait a few weeks for mine, as the posters were not available or ready at the time I emailed, but it eventually arrived for me.

And it doesn't look half bad! ;)

Personally I'm waiting to get it as a single car rather than a pack.

Im watching some on ebay USA also , but I dont think I will be bidding ,some of them are going for 39$ plus postage, there is some very desperate and impatient people out there! I'll just wait till they hit the local stores but going by the prices on ebay they will be in demand , as a regular edition they should make a million of them so i dont think they will be to hard to find.

Rik, come grab me Thursday, we can go through Marion, look for the XB. I haven't gone hotwheels shopping in a bit.

I hope to extend the chev/chrysler side of the collection, not much ford stuff that I can see, if I see some I'll grab

Sounds like a plan, although maybe not Marion, I've kinda done it to death lately, perhaps somewhere a little further out!

Still waiting for the J-Cases with all the XB's (allegedly), to land and hit the shelves.

Wherever mate, I want to buy about 10 more, got some space. And maybe a corkboard to hang a few of the favourite ones. I'll take this to Txt, but for the record, if anyone has any mid 70's Chrysler hotwheels, oz or USA, I'll be interested to hear from you, interested in buying.

Haha you get that. What's even worse is when there's three kids whose mum has said they can have one each and you can't even get to the Hot Wheels. I usually disappear and look at DVD's until I can get a look.

I cop crap from a few of my friends about "buying toy cars" or "buying kids toys", I tell them I refer to it as "purchasing adult collectables".
