Anybody seen this Taxi 510? I happened to cruise the Hot Wheels rack in Walmart yesterday and found these two guys.

They had the 1971 Nissan Patrol there if anybody was interested I could go back and grab it.

That unrestored '69 BRE Baja would be awesome. I will have to watch for that!

Nice find Keith. The Walmart in Abbotsford never has any 510’s.

Hey Ron, do you want any of the 240's that show up? I see those a lot also. I try to stick to the 510 and the 240Z in my collecting.

There were some 240's there in my last trip.

Being the big kid I am, and managing to evade the toy section security, I found these 2 yesterday, buried in the back of the rack.

The detail is actually pretty good on this one.

I think a friend has scored the unrestored BRE Baja one for me too.

It is amazing that they keep pumping out Datsun 510 models.

I opened my mail the other day and found these sent to me by a long time friend up in Osoyoos.

The un-restored 510 is cool, Bob Lyon and Pete Brock on the drivers door, it just looks right to me.

As I was in Walmart yesterday, I noticed they have 6 of the sets posted above, NISSAN garage and Transporter.

If anyone would like one I can grab it, the set was 32.00 I think. I did not grab one but thinking about it.

I at first thought the car on the right from the Hot Wheels Transporter set was a 510.
Its actually a Laurel 2000 SGX.
Never seen one

I stumbled on these two buried in the Walmart Hot wheels section last week.

For a second I thought I had found long lost 510 parts.......I think doing it in the Nissan Packaging
is very cool.
