Found this on eBay.
Shipping fee's kinda steep. I think I'll just wait until they're at Target.

Finally, I'll have to pick up one of these and a Hachiroku.

I think this car will warm the pegs in no time. Hot Wheels nerds are very picky about cars, in their little world only muscle cars exist and Japanese cars are inferior in every way. When in reality Japanese cars are more of then than not better made and better equipped. I guessed no one noticed the premium level wing on this thing. Clearly just an 86 GTS toy with Scion logo.

Muscle cars and movie cars. I never could find a KITT in the wild. But you are correct, unless they do a limited color, they will be the peg warmers with the Astons and Skylines.

Eh, looks kinda fudgy. And why does it have to have a molded body kit/side scoop instead of just a stock car?

Oh well, that's not going to stop me from buying one (just ONE, I'm not a hoarder/reseller!!) of each color I find :D

Kinda odd looking, but it will do for now (:

Hotwheels has always been about modding and wild over mild. Matchbox was more geared towards stock.

Sweeeeet! I'm still not gonna buy one, because I'm trying to avoid buying any more Hot Wheels cars, but awesome that they make one!

hushypushy 05-07-2013 09:11 PM

^ I agree with you, because in general you are right, but there are tons of Hot Wheels that are both based on stock cars AND have a high quality molding. I just wish this was one of them. And seeing that Hot Wheels already has the license, we won't see a Matchbox version :( Oh well, time to start looking into JDM scale models.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about. Would be nice to see a stock Hot Lava FR-S or WR Blue BR-Z in the style of this one:

Paint quality is probably better than a real FRS/BRZ.

This. Sad but true.

Brzetto 05-07-2013 11:09 PM

This is not an FRS, it's an 86 with a Scion badge painted on. The FRS does not have regular access to the BRZ Ltd Type S/86 GTS spoiler.

We might see a matchbox version. If I'm not mistaken Hot Wheels (Mattel) bought out matchbox a while back. They're already using the matchbox molds to make Hot Wheels, but I'm not sure about Hot Wheels molds as Matchbox cars.

Now that I know it's out there, I'll start searching the pegs at Target for these!
