Can't find that one!

Yep., been looking for that damn car., can't find it anywhere. They will have it in a "first Edition" five back too. Just FYI.,

Matchbox had the same car out in 2011, different color (blue matallic)., I missed that one too., seems like there are a lot of retired folks here in Sacramento that are buying up everything before I can get to the stores! Gees.

Don't feel bad Guyman, Grass Valley, Auburn, and Roseville are sold out also. Can't find a one. Looks like Ebay is the only source.

Yep, Got mine today at the local Dollar store. Only 1, or I'd buy them all.
Thanks for the tip.

I bought a ton of these throughout this past week at Dollar Tree...and they are cheaper then Target/Walmart., they went up to $1.07 now....I also found a couple more of the gold/green ones at Target today...so there are probably going to be popping up in wal mart etc when the old ones are gone...I think there are two per case., maybe four.

Found several of the Matchbox Lime Gold GT/CS (my color!) at my local Dollar tree before I read this post. I have an extra, if any one wants one. (Just pay the postage) They look great. I'll probably go back to the store to see if any are left tomorrow.

Hey, guys, I have 4-5 extra of these GT/CS matchbox cars that I'm willing to part with. If you still have not found, just let me know. :grin:

I found 3 more green ones at a different Walmart! These Matchbox GTCSs were hard to find, but now I finally have my green GTCS and the sweet part is that my boys think so too :thumb: ...

Check your local Dolllar Tree. My wife got 3 from ours. She plans to try and paint one to match our car.
