Sometimes you have to buy a whole bunch of cars in order to get the one you really want. That’s how it is with the exclusive variations that Hot Wheels puts in their multipacks. Buying a five-pack to get a single car is one thing. But these 9-packs are even more of commitment.
I’ve been enamored with the Hot Wheels Chevrolet SS since it first came out in 2012, and I’ve been collecting variations ever since. So I really had to take the plunge when, not just one, but two unique variations were released this year in multipacks.
I really like the orange-with-black on this first one.
X6999 | 2017 Multipack Exclusive | Chevrolet SS (Opala) | orange with black trim | 5SP
But the yellow rims on this metallic green and yellow variation makes it even more striking.

This yellow variation is the multi-pack exclusive from 2016.

You can see the first-release Chevrolet SS as well as others from my collection here, here, and here.
My solution for what to do with the other cars in the multipack? I filled in the empty spots with random loose cars and resold them at my wife’s garage sale.
Don’t worry, I did keep the orange, flamed-out Nova that was in this multipack, even though I already have it in a single blister. You can never have too many Novas.
