They must have sent them to many of the "big Lot" stores,cause I bought the 32 and the beatnik bandit at the "big lot" here in west columbia, sc. The beatnik bandit was even in the special edition ed roth box, limited to 10,000, LOL. These were 12.99 also.

I just paid $20 at a local swap meet for the Bandit.I shoulda known something was up when the box was marked down from $35.
I also picked up the black '32 3 window with the Hemi and white pinstriping for $30.It's pretty cheaply made with plastic fenders and nothing opens on it.Is this where Hot Wheels is going? Cheap and low quality? Hope not.

That's a good score! Cheap too! I got the Beatnik Bandit in the States last year for $18,-... Overhere in Europe, those cars cost about 50 Euros..!!!

<font color="purple"> Those cars were in Walmart last year for like $12. I almost bought the Beatnik, but I only collect small stuff so I passed. </font>
