Mind sharing what store had the Matchbox version?

I got them at a Walmart in Vancouver, WA. (They had a ton of the blue Hot Wheels version.)

I found the matchbox version at Krogers.

This was a gift!

You can find these on Ebay. I was lucky. Last month an Ebay seller was modifying the Model S and producing them in White, which Mattel does not produce. I bought two of them and they are nicely done.

So when I went on a hunt for them I found all of the available types at all the stores that sell toys.

Walwart
Kmart
Dollar General
Dollar Tree (was surprised here, but hey, they mark em up to 1$ and make a bit of a profit!)

Walmart tends to be the best I have found to hunt for them, because inevitably they have a giant bucket/bin with hundreds of cars in them.

By the way I fully intend to bring my collection to the east coast get-together (Past meets Future) in VA. I will happily share what I have scrounged up thus far for those interested.

So ... I went to King Soopers yesterday and found a boat load of Tesla Hot Wheels (red). I bought 19 of them. Not sure if it's cost effective to ship these, even at no markup? Doing the math, my cost is $1 + $2.60 for shipping + $0.50 for the padded envelope = $4.10. Does anyone want one for $4.10 or should I return most of these?

How much for 10 in a USPS box to 92653, perhaps something like $10 + $5?
Thanks, Gary ... PM if you wish.

Keep a look out for the HW Treasure Hunt of that new Roadster release. They have metallic red paint and different wheels.

Thanks a lot. I thought I just completed the set when I found a silver Model S, now I have to start looking for the fancy Roadster. (Though it is possible that one of the ones I got is, I haven't looked at it that close yet.)

Treasure Hunts and Super Treasure Hunts (more rare) will have the little circle-flame symbol on the car AND on the card along with some words placed inside the blister pack.
Good luck!

MATTEL!!!!!!! Look at what you made me do.

I finally got lucky and came across the closest mini-replica to my car out there. It's sad that I've realized the hot wheels deliveries are synced between nearby stores. I'm taking a break to let others get a chance to get the new blue model s hot wheels.

Here are a list of stores I've seen hot wheels carried:
Grocery Stores
Target (my best luck with the Tesla cars)
Walmart
Toys R Us
Five Below
Kmart
Kohls

I lucked out today and found a blue Model S Matchbox. WooHoo!

Interesting thing on it is the pano roof is clear instead of tinted.

Just when I thought I had all of them...and the day after I scored my second blue Hot Wheels....

Nice, the Matchbox matches my blue car even better than the Hot Wheels! I offered my family a Starbucks bounty for the Hot Wheels but it was I who finally score a couple. I might need to up the ante for the Matchbox version (Matchbox is more scarce around these parts; I must live in Hot Wheels territory).

Matchbox is rare around here to. The three I have found, 2) red, 1) blue, have come from the same store. None of the other stores that have Matchboxes have ever had a Tesla I could find. (Way more stores have Hot Wheels than Matchboxes.)

You guys don't leave them in the package forever, do you? They're meant to be taken out and driven (or at least photographed).

 

[EdA]

I shoot for 4 of each. One for each of my two kids (@ college, no idea what they do with thime), one for me (stays in package), one for my 2 year old niece - unboxed.

I can't find any of these up here! Been looking off and on for the better part of a year now...
