Hot Wheels

[Mr Ed]

The Diecast Model Expo was held last weekend for which I was a volunteer.

A special 1:64 Hot Wheels, - in an Australian firstwas an exclusive Mattel Hot Wheels event model. This brutish muscle car looks fantastic being lime green in colour and flamed detail. On the roof is the official 2011 Diecast Model Expo logo and is a model that is sure to get Australian Hot Wheels collectors anxious to secure theirs, if not Hot Wheels collectors around the world. This model will be available to every registered attendee of the 2011 Diecast Model Expo.



3000 of these cars were made and they are individually numbered.

RRP at the event was $25

However limits applied. If you would like one, check local hobby shops that attended the expo or EBAY. However, prices from hobby shops that attended will be more than $25.

Sorted out the Hot Wheels that came home with me.
The Reject Store, Crazy Clarks, Sams Warehouse and Mr Toys Toyworld were good places to find old cars which was perfect for a new collector such as myself/

Picked up a few more Hot Wheels today.
Most are spares as I got excited by 'new cars' and didn't bother checking my lists.

Nice! Have not seen any of those over here as yet. I soooo want one of those grey Lambos!!

Can anyone help me with acquiring one of those XB Falcons?
Any colour would do.

Ditto!

[Mr Ed]

Ok fellas, normal XB Hotwheel Falcons are rare as hens teeth..... (yellow and blue ones) From my knowledge, most of these good ones have been stripped from shops from inside jobs.

I would suggest you go on EBAY. It might cost you $8 including delivery.

There are 2 more variants

1. Hotwheels Garage - red XB. It's specoa; wheels. This one is only from USA. I bought one for $30 recently.

2. Hotwheels 2001 Diecast Model Expo - this one is $35 at the moment. It is based upon the Hotwheels Garage series with a wicked paint job and special wheels. Only 3,000 worldwide. This could be sought after by series overseas HW collectors. The model shop owner that I am good friends with advised me that the convention convenors exported a box of 48 cars to Japan at $28.25 each excluding GST.

I remember Zippo said he was at Hotel Grand Chancellor when the expo was on but passed on this car.

You could try your luck at discount stores such as The Reject Shop. They had some XBs few weeks back at my local.

Next time you're in the neighbourhood, could you check, and if you find any, buy them?
