View Full Version : Dollar Tree Muscle Machines
CarCrazyDiecast 03-18-2009, 06:43 PM Stopped into a Dollar Tree store today just to see what they might have and was surprized to see Series 4 Original Muscle Machines there. One employee claimed to have gotten all 16 of the models shown on the back of the package and possibly the "chase car" too. Now I didn't get any Muscle Machines when they first came out, and I have tried to locate exactly where these models fit into the chronology of Muscle Machine releases. Are these models that Dollar Tree is selling actually what were released as Wave 4 products? This whole Series 4 deal confuses me as I haven't been able to find these models in research except for seeing them listed on ebay. And what is the actual "chase car" from Series 4?
As on the package, the SKU product numbers are listed below. Are these Dollar Trees registry?
I was able to get the following:
1929 Ford Model A pickup yellow "Otto's Speed Shop" 70336
1933 Willys Coupe green/silver/green spoke wheels 70337
1941 Willys Truck white/red striped top/"George's DynoTune" 70338
1954 Nash two-tone blue & white 70339
1962 Chevy Bel Air red/ "Grovedale Speed Shop # 562" 70340
1966 Shelby GT350 white/blue stripes/#127 70341
1969 Pontiac GTO blue/silver flames 70342
1953 Chevy Corvette purple/red&yellow flamed front/black top 70343
1955 Chevy Truck black/gold wheels/white tonneau cover 70352
Sorry,camera down so no pis. Couldn't find any on the web either
Thanks for your help!.

DiecastKrazy 03-19-2009, 08:16 PM I found these at my local DOLLAR TREE as well , unfortunately the chase truck was already GONE , but i did pick up the 1953 Corvette purple with yellow and red flames ! Only other one i REALLY REALLY liked !!!! Thanks for the tip !
plankowner 03-20-2009, 06:50 AM I hit a handful of DG's last night and none of them have any MM's. I did get a few, "Truck's coming next week so stop by then."
ECchopper 03-20-2009, 09:15 AM I need series 4! I'll trade a complete set of series 5, or buy them.
plankowner 03-20-2009, 09:31 AM I need series 4! I'll trade a complete set of series 5, or buy them.
I need series 5. If I can find a complete set of series 4, we'll make the trade! I'm going to check a few other DG's today and tomorrow and I'll let you know what I find.
CarCrazyDiecast 03-20-2009, 12:36 PM I need series 4! I'll trade a complete set of series 5, or buy them.
ECchopper, I am open to a trade. I would like to see which Series 5 cars you have. And would it include the chase car?
I have all 8 series 4 plus the chase truck.
FLOYDFROG 03-21-2009, 07:10 PM Nothing around my neck of the woods :confused:
silverzx3 03-22-2009, 09:07 AM Probably 8-10 cases at my local Dollar Tree plus a whole bunch of Speed Racer cars I haven't seen before.
roadwarrior 03-22-2009, 09:57 AM Ours is getting ready to move to a new location,so nothing new coming in.Maybe when the new store opens:rolleyes:
ECchopper 03-23-2009, 08:39 AM Plankowner and CarCrazyDiecast:
I have TWO complete sets of 16 cars, plus extra chase cars from series 5, so whatever you guys come up with, I can take care of both of you. Let me know what you find.
I also still need a few from series 3, if they start showing up.

The stores that definitely have Muscle Machines are: DOLLAR TREE
As far as Dollar General stores having any, there are none at the DG stores that I have been to here in central Arkansas at Little Rock.
LSUTIGERBAIT 03-24-2009, 12:11 PM Ok Thanks
dan00k 03-24-2009, 07:25 PM if anyone wants some i have a found a dollar tree that probably had 200 of the series 5 on the shelves and here they are as follows:
67 nova gasser
55 nomad black & white
69 charger black with flames
69 corvette silver & black
37 ford coupe black with pink wheels
53 chevy p/u green
64 thunderbolt in gold
56 olds 88 white with gold
i was hesitant to just buy them all and possibly sell them on ebay but if someone would like to trade for some i went ahead and bought some if anyone needs these. just let me know.

Found a bunch of series 4 cars today, no chase pieces at all in three different Dollar Tree's. Seems like they are only putting out the first half release of series 4. Only 8 different cars, and lots of them! I can hook you up with these eight of series 4 if you'd like. I'm going to a town close by tomorrow and I'll check to see what they have as well.

plankowner 03-28-2009, 06:22 PM I live in Virginia as well. 11 out of our 15 local stores got them in. All of the same cars.
79'Tranzamman 03-31-2009, 09:18 AM Hit another DT yesterday and they had received several cases of series 5.
NYSWLHUNTER 03-31-2009, 11:07 AM Im in ny so far one in my area had them. Checked one yesterday, no luck BUT i found $2 in the parking lot! Major score!

Sweet!! Better than finding just a penny :thumbsup:
roachmobkiller 04-04-2009, 03:55 PM The Dollar Trees in my area have MM hanging in bunches.

around NOW!:rolleyes:

Dadvball 04-04-2009, 10:55 PM I hit a DT that's about 15 minutes from me (Swansea store, Rob) last week and grabbed a few that I liked. Chase and BWF were not to be found. The three stores nearest me, 5-10 minute rides, had none at all.

DiecastKrazy 04-07-2009, 07:59 PM Yup! We got them in about a week ago and i got the chase car from a buddy of mine for only $2.00 !!!
sense1 04-12-2009, 11:25 AM I went to a dozen stores within a 50 mile radius of my home and found nothing. I asked the employees and they said that they had not seen any MM cars yet, only a massive amount of Speed Racer cars. If anyone in Michigan sees them please send me a message. Still searching...
airforcevet 04-14-2009, 06:44 AM here's my question i know that series 4 & 5 showed up at dollar tree an quite a few boxes at most stores the question is series one ,two, & three showed mostly at wallys & kmart but case wise maybe only one if the production was the same as 4&5 where are the cases seems there should have been more or were there less produced? any help?
ECchopper 04-16-2009, 09:27 AM I have no idea about production numbers, but Fred at 1stopdiecast says that series 2,3, 4 and 5 were ALL dumped at the Dollar Tree warehouse. So keep checking the stores, more of them are sure (?) to show up.
plankowner 04-17-2009, 04:07 PM I am still looking for the other half of series 4. Wonder what gives?
Uncle Tomica 04-25-2009, 10:21 PM My Dollar Tree had them on an end cap. Don't forget to check there.
roachmobkiller 05-07-2009, 06:39 PM Does anyone know if Dollar Tree stopped stocking MM already?:confused:
There is not a single MM to be found in any of the stores, that had plenty
a little while ago.
Roachie
ECchopper 05-08-2009, 09:51 AM The stores in my area sold out just before Easter. And nobody seems to know if they're getting more in or not. But Fred from 1stop said that series 2 through 5 all got dumped at the Dollar tree warehouse, so the rest of them have to be somewhere! I guess all we can do is keep checking the stores.
rlyoung1 05-08-2009, 10:06 AM Hopefully the rest will come to CA.
