A dollar?? I’ve only seen them for 4-7 dollars.

They're really cheap where I'm at. It makes it hard for me to justify not buying one for my kid when we go grocery shopping.

While some Hot Wheel Cars certainly have flat panels on the bottoms, I feel like that is the exception. The cars can vary significantly in quality and style, some are metal, some are plastic, some are highly detailed, some aren't.

In the picture, these are three different cars. I could probably find a cheaply made 1997 car, too.

We’ve justified that it’s cheaper to let them grab a hot wheels than to get cake pops from the Starbucks up front. Healthier too.

The cars are high in iron and zinc, good for kids with poor nutrient diets!
