I actually got a couple of the DUB xB's like two years before I bought my first real xB. Loved the 1st-gen since day one.

Nice man! How do you find out this stuff dude? Thanks for sharing BTW!
When your country fails to feed your diecast addiction you look to others to fill the need. lol......

Does anybody know if a BOP colored diecast exists? just plain without any decals would be ideal. If they exist, does anybody have an extra one they would part with?

Good for you! Went looking today, all I found was another X-Raycers.

Can I send you my address so that you can mail me those CHP xBs?

Good score! Good to know that they are coming!

it is the one from the auction. I got it before I even saw this thread. Hopefully in a week I can go back and find some more. Good to know people at local stores.

Well, went out hunting again after work today.

Went to 6 Targets. Some had remnants of the All Stars Red, but no xBs. Most had not put them out yet. Went to one Target and started talking with an employee there. Not a toy department guy, but whatever. That guy explained to me into how the system works.

So I apply my new found knowledge and scored an unopened case from the last Target I went to. SCORE!

Was just looking for the xB, but WTH the whole case was there for the picking...carton and all. This is the first ever complete set of die cast I have had. Just never got into it that badly.

On a side note, if you look in the rear package tray, there are two chrome subs in the back! Yeah, SUBS! Mounted inverted to show the bling! Thought they were lights at first, but all the lights are on the light bar and blue/red tampos on all the panels and front bumper. Go cops!

Long story short, I finally got my CHP xB. Heres a couple shots, more pics to follow! This is my fav car so far. Its so cool!

edit: Added pics.
Only the Lambo had a cool gold foil sticker on the back. Whats up, Scion?

congrats. i got a text from a friend at a local target and said he is going to set one aside for me when they unload their next truck.

i like it at toys r us since we can look at our truck manifests to see what we are getting before it is unloaded. that way i can keep my eye out for the packages i need.
