KING OF THE CAMO JUNGLE BAPE® x Hot Wheels 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL

What a BS this was.  Unlike the typical Tuesday morning Hot Wheels RLC release, this one went on sale at night.  I think it was 6pm Saturday or something.  I was pretty excited.  I have this RLC casting in silver & green.  I'm not gonna lie, I'm a fan of camo & I was all over this one.

The exact moment it goes on sale, it reads "sold out".  Immediately I suspect bots & I think I was right.  I kept refreshing the page & within a minute, it was available for sale.  I was in line for checkout, then within 30 seconds or so, it was "sold out".  This time for good.  I want to say that all this took place in less than 2 minutes(I could be wrong).


I get on eBay right after & there were many on sale there already.  When I couldn't get it for I want to say $100 or so, I gave up.  Following week, I gave in & paid $165 for this guy.  Thankfully, the "preorder" went without a hitch & got mine safe & sound today.  Some eBay sellers are shady, and I've been ripped off on eBay preorder before.  Once the seller take your money, many weeks later the official sale date come & go, but no word from the seller.  Been really careful on eBay preorder stuff ever since.  Thankfully, I got my money back by either eBay or PayPal that time.  

Sorry for the rant, but I think these shares of experiences only helps newer collectors.  God, I wish Hot Wheels/Mattel did something about these bots though.  Impossiburu.  Pics:
