Lol I didn't want to burst your bubble before, but you're right, there's literally dozens of Hot Wheels VX's on eBay any given day, many of them Proton. Luckily they're only $.99 most of the time
sorry to burst your bubble but you are incorrect
according to the link there are currently 18 available and only 4 you can bid on the rest are buy it now
none of them are ever $.99 if you include the $5-$7 shipping each is charging
Smart counting! You get a gold star! (Sorry, I watch WAY too much Dora the Explorer these days.)
Point is they're cheap, plentiful, and will likely never be a "collectible". Doesn't mean it's not fun to collect them though!
Remember those stupid stuffed animals called beanie babies? A buck worth of material and stuffing and people were paying thousands for some. Now a days they arent worth spit. It makes buying a house a few years ago look like a wise investment
