Default hot wheels waste of time?

So Ive found myself pushing children out of the way in every toy isle I find in hopes to find a hot wheels or match box xf. So far nothing! My God, Ive found karman ghia convertables, chevy vega's , VWs 350z, slk's and all sorts of wierd cars but no crossfires.

Did a google once and didnt come up with anything.

does anyone know if there IS one of our cars

Not yet.

Maybe if enough of us request it from Mattel, they'll make it. If and when they do, it should be red.

I thought I saw one at my local Toys R Us store around Christmas. It was with some other cars in a package. Would you like me to pick it up for you if I see it?

Sorry they are not a waste of time. And Mattel hasn't produced a Crossfire in the Hot Wheels or Matchbox line. Maisto, Motor Works, and Bburago have, but mostly 1/24 and 1/18.

The Earth's ocean consists of .01 % sponges.....
the sponges suck up roughly .0001 % of the oceans water...
therefore the ocean would get shallower if we were to remove sponges.

The deepest part of the ocean is the Mariana Trench which is 36,201 ft. deep.
There's no saying how much water the sponges use up.

I found a Fastlane 1:43 scale Crossfire at my local Toys R Us store. Anybody want one of these? For some reason I can't upload the picture. I can send it to anyone that's interested.
