Hot Wheels Star Wars Starships

The new series on Hot Wheels Star Wars Starships were released last year. They look very nice, but are another series that is really just a reboot of the older series of Hot Wheels die cast vehicles. Here in New Zealand. The first four were available in relatively big numbers (some still sitting on shop shelves!), but since then there haven been any new ones, but today I did pick up numbers 13 and 14 ... which means all the ones in between, 5 to 12, never arrived in-store here*. :(


* Probably due to shops not wanting to stock them thanks to Hasbro's ridiculous method of short-packing boxes - one of model A, two of model B, and three of model C - which simply means stores are stuck with lots of left-overs of model C and collectors miss out on model A (especially thanks to scalper scum buying them up to sell on auction sites at inflated prices! :mad:).

I did manage to find number 7 and number 15 in another branch, but there are still quite a few of the first four sitting on pegs/shelves.
