    Yes, Kroger has "exclusive" colors on these 4 vehicles. If anyone lives by a Kroger and finds enough of them to do some trading with me I'd appreciate it

    None around me either. But Kroger, QFC, King Soopers, City Market, Smiths, Frys, Dillons, Food For Less Fred Myers, Owen's, Ralph's, JayC Food Stores, Mariano's, Bakers, Pick 'n Save are all under the Kroger name. There are Bakers in my area but none of them have ever had the exclusive colors so I'm thinking they're not the same.

    The colors in the picture are the exclusive colors

    Awesome! Good luck!

    No trade necessary but I have been looking everywhere for the Godzilla r32 skyline if you have an extra laying around.

    what is everybody using to ship these cars?

    A few, mainly added skids. I like leaving the suspension alone. I drive forest service dirt roafs in the desert west extremely extremely too fast. Toyota nailed this suspension going 65 across desert terrain. Changing it is dumb unless you have a specific need like crawling or mud.

    Uline has a box that is almost the perfect length of the case. Unfortunately it's too deep. Packing peanuts are almost as expensive as hotwheels. So if someone wants something, I pack now with funny random hotwheels.

    Also, if you can't find or don't have the hotwheels taco PM me. I'll send you one

    Pretty sure both the patrol and the maxima have a cream color option out there.

    I run a warehouse and can not believe what stores charge for packing material like peanuts, bubble wrap and foam for shipping. If you have a factory nearby or know someone who works there you can probably get all the packing material you want for free. Most companies just throw that stuff away that I have worked at over the years. Its called dunnage. Someone who ships a lot it might be worth checking into. I still have a giant bag of bubble wrap in the basement when I need something from one of my employers.

    The Nissans are a cream color... if you take a look st the photo I posted the exclusive Nissan Patrol is white with gold wheels vs the normal cream color with gray wheels. It also appears to have different colored stripes on the side. The second non exclusive color is the blue. I believe the Maxima is also going to be released in blue.

    If you set those outside on a sunny day for a few minutes the price tags peel right off with no residue.

    Here's the latest Dually for me

    I have the cream colored one. Found it a while back at Kroger. Hopefully Kroger got a new shipment in this week. The displays were pretty bare last week. I'll definitely be on the lookout for the exclusive ones. Kroger has all of the 80's except for 4,5,9 and 10. Maybe I'll find those today

    None of those stores are around me either. I live in a small town in NH. No banks, no grocery store, not one traffic light.
