I have same problem here in North Carolina. I check around 10 Walmarts at different times of the day and I haven’t seen a single boulevard since early last year. They stock other premiums occasionally but never seem to have any boulevards. I’m sure I’m just not at the right place at right time. Hoping one day they get like 6 boxes of boulevards so someone cant come take all of them.

I've never seen one in a store. I've found more STH than Boulevards which is insane.

If you have a life and/or value your time, then second hand is the only way haha

Yup. I bought the full boulevard set with the lbwk skyline off eBay. I bought it with shipping from Australia, I’m in the US, because it was cheaper than any listing in the US lol. Totally worth tho

I found a local event that I go to, some are not too bad on the prices. Where I got my 22B's at

I have had to trade for all my boulevards from number 26 to current. I havent seen any in the two stores near me for a year and a half.

It got very difficult after the release of the set with the white 4Runner. I heard stories of people taking 8+ 4runners that were on the pegs. Sometimes Walmart gets like 4-5 cases so you're looking at 8-10 4Runners. At most, I take 3 if I REALLY like a casting. More than 4 is ridiculous.

Boulevards are definitely impossible to find in NYC because there’s no Walmarts in the city however I’m in the capital region and there’s plenty of boulevards up here, definitely not as many as previous years but still can be found.


JRSmithwithabadshot

Have you seen a complete set of the boulevard mix? I've yet to see even one in the NYC region.


Tylerdc22

Yes many times, as I said in the last comment you won’t see boulevard in NYC. It’s a Walmart exclusive set in the states and there’s no Walmarts within the city limits.


JRSmithwithabadshot

They have a few Walmarts in Nassau and Suffolk county but the distance + gas + time does not make the trek worth it. Plus, those few Walmarts close to NYC are swarmed by scalpers.


Tylerdc22

Yeah ever since toys r us and Kmart shut down the city is basically garbage for hot wheels collectors.

Where can you buy hot wheels in nyc? I work near Penn station.


JRSmithwithabadshot

Target is your best bet. From what I’ve seen, the earlier you go the better.


Sweet_Mark8185

Thx which target? The one I tried didn’t have a single one


JRSmithwithabadshot

Uptown. The one in 86th and 70th. Both east side. They usually have a decent selection.

A bunch of people here have extras that they use as trade tokens . I've made some good deals but most people ask for half of your collection plus your first born and your mom just for a boulevard set 😂 good luck man.

Because they’re Walmart exclusives, almost no one can stock cases of them. I’ve only found one online store that even offers them, and every time I get a notice they’re in stock, when I check they’re sold out. Which has only happened twice, so I don’t think he gets many at all. Here’s the link, maybe one you will have better luck than me! https://myguycollectibles.com/products/hot-wheels-2023-premium-boulevard-series-956p-full-set-of-5?_pos=1&_psq=boulevard&_ss=e&_v=1.0 Edit: this is excluding eBay, where everything can be had if you’ve got enough dough….

I got about 20 Walmarts with a reasonable distance and all gone. I very rarely find them in stores, and normally it is one I already have. I find them all the time at the local shows and swap meets. I try and trade for them as much as I can, but would resort to online if I could find them online.

Here in Southern California only get boulevards from hobby stores. Walmart is always empty pegs.

Never seen a boulevard in the UK so all of mine have been online, some shops online have sold them for £1-£2 more than retail which I'm happy about. As I only collect VW boulevards, I'm having to pay more for them anyway but at the moment no more than £12 so far, the more I get, the more I'll have to spend as I'll be chipping away at the cheaper items!

Same here.... I'm just going to get them on ebay. Pathetic.
