Sainsburys and Tesco in the UK have finally realised there's a market for stocking Premiums.

Got these two over the weekend and cracked them open for my desk at work.

Well I have had a bit of good luck recently and found my 1st Super TH since 2013/14 just before Christmas, and given how much harder to find they are over here I was surprised to find a second on Sunday.

Get the black one if you aren't too keen to look at the huge panel gap on the front bumper, and the paint imperfections.

Here's the problem (photo from the internet):

Finally found the Autoworld Dodge Stealth release, but at the local flea market marked up to $7... Guess it's better than paying $10 on eBay before shipping prices.

Hey guys! Went to an old house we use for storage nearby and was able to bring this back! :dopey: It's an old Hot Wheels Double Barrel playset that I believe is from the late 80's, possibly early 90's that had been sitting around in there for who knows how long. The box was open when I found it and I could see the track sticking out of it, much like what you see now.

Took it all out and this is what was in there:

Other than the cars that came with it, it's missing the base, the loops, stickers and the flag, but everything else is there and in surprisingly good shape too! The piece that merges into one lane is showing some stress, but it's not broken. Might reinforce with a strip of brass and epoxy later.

Overall, very happy to have this! Ya'll should have seen my reaction when I was told I could take it! :lol: It might not have everything with it, but it's usable and it contains some parts I don't already own and I love the colors of the track pieces themselves, so theirs plenty of fun to be had! 👍 I am hoping we will go back and maybe I can search and see if the other missing parts are hiding somewhere. :P

I found something I didn't even know was being made. I bought a Chevy C/50 truck (I'm more into trucks than cars) a couple of years ago & now I have the GMC equivalent. This truck in reality is one I would want to own, just because.
