My Hot Wheels bot just beat the scalpers 😎
Started getting tired of missing good Hot Wheels drops in my area because by the time I realized they were available, scalpers had already cleared everything.
So I built my own automation bot using:
- Blinkit stock monitoring
Now it checks stock automatically every few minutes and instantly notifies me when specific castings appear.
First successful haul from the bot today:
- ’64 Lincoln Continental
- Audi RS6 Avant
Meanwhile the bot was screaming in the terminal:
🚨 IN STOCK on Blinkit:
Hot Wheels '64 Lincoln Continental
Hot Wheels Audi RS6 Avant
Middle fingers to scalpers 🖕🙂
Feels incredibly satisfying seeing:
Bot alert → instant order → actual cars in hand
Honestly started as a fun side project because I’m both a collector and automation engineer, but now I’m thinking of expanding it into:
- trend tracking
- restock intelligence
- TH/STH detection
- collector alerts
The funniest part is the bot already helped me catch cars faster than manually refreshing apps.
Automation > scalping.
(And no, I’m not reselling these 😄)
