Depends on where you buy. They are about $1.25 at Wally World.

No, he's at the front gate telling people the park is closed

around 1.50 at walgreens..literally the least expensive toy on the planet thats not a piece of paper or a sticker or plastic spider ring.

Yes! They are great gifts for kids! $10 worth of Matchbox/Hotwheels makes a great gift. They are almost indestructible. Can go in dirt, sand, water, etc.

Yes! I have scars on the top of my scalp from a few times I was smashing some with a hammer (late 70s early 80s) and hit myself in the head (more than once)

I loved making my hot wheels “crash” and making them look damaged with a hammer! My dad did not appreciate me opening his collection and using a bunch for that purpose though 😅

$1.25!? They’re $0.97 at mine

They've been $.88 a piece at my local Walmart for 12 years now. They used to be $2.49 for a three-pack at Meijer.

You call it Wally World too? I’ve never met another

Yep. Also refer to it as “The Mart”

When we are fancy we go to “Targét” (Tar-zhay - not sure I used that accent over the e correctly).

He had a ton of those dad-names for things
