Each vehicle features Real Rider wheels, unique packaging and graphics and is a longstanding favorite of collectors and racing fans of all ages. Oxford Dictionary definition of Diecast: Adjective- (of a metal object) formed by pouring molten metal into a reusable mould. Cards are in excellent shape and may have minor irregularities from factory packaging - no major damage. I think they are most certainly “testing the waters” with this plastic junk as a 50th Anniversary model.

That’s funny considering how there were WM’s which were behind in keeping up with the dump bins or skipping certain releases entirely. With unique and realistic cars, fantastic decos and the most beautiful tires for the real enthusiast! It is a challenging way to collect but fun as well, because I am forced to prioritize and there is nothing in the collection that I won’t absolutely love. The day they put normal wheel sizes on the rear wheels is the day that I get interested in 1st gen HW Camaros.

I don’t get it, it’s too small and utterly pathetic in terms of detail, but plenty of collectors go nuts for the ’67 Camaro over and above any other HW.

Hot Wheels also held the ' Hot Wheels Legends 50th Anniversary Tour' where the Hot Wheels team travelled to several states in the USA to hold real-life car shows to find the next car to be 'immortalized as a Hot Wheels Die Cast'. the manager assured me new inventory was to arrive, but it was just a case or maybe two on the pegs which didn’t last too long.

Featuring iconic Hot Wheels originals and American Classics from the sixties, each car carries a stunning livery and comes showcased in a beautiful matching package that commemorates Hot Wheels Golden Anniversary. Modelmatic sells a range of die-cast vehicles and accessories at 1:64 (or as close as possible) scale. Of course Mattel won’t care it’s all about sales and the mindless masses will go nuts over the chase and speculate on future values for a limited series. It would make a statement if it was left hanging on the pegs, but I don’t really see that happening.

The only time I can see using a plastic body/metal base is with loop tracks due to the car’s lower COG. I also really liked the special 7th model – unofficially a Chase based on the small numbers in cases – an iconic 67 Camaro in gold. If they refuse to carry Hot Wheels if they can’t be sold for a dollar Mattel isn’t going to ‘please the fans’ if it means losing over half of their distribution. Hot Bee 26 Pieces Toy Doctor Kit for Toddlers Kids 3-6 Years, Pretend Play Doctor Set forKids, Educational Learning Toys for Students, Birthday Gift Toys for Toddlers Girls Boys 3 4 5 6. I mean, hell, they could have just said “screw the cost differential” JUST this once, just for this occasion!

This special anniversary series of premium 1:64 scale cars - is a must-have for collectors and fans around the world. To celebrate our 50th anniversary let’s make a set of cars with no history or uniqueness in a very unusual color scheme. I was especially impressed with the clean, embossed card art, and found that the six models in the set matched the look. As I’ve said so many times before, I understand the constraints Mattel has to work within, but you’d think for this specific instance they could make the sacrifice.And if the technical side of things came into the decision (in terms of the paint finish) they CAN do a chrome finish on metal…they did it years ago with the Shelby GR-1 concept car and it looked stunning…I can’t imagine doing the same finish in gold would be a problem.

Being that this model has to be composed of plastic and the ‘Vette actually contains a non-metallic body. Suddenly I wish I had the last release of the Camaro, so I could put together an all plastic Camaro to go with my all plastic Amazoom. If you're a serious Hot Wheels collector, you know the promotional materials can be desirable and difficult to find. HW picked it because they’d have a jihad against them declared by fans of old school Hot Wheels cars if they didn’t.
