I was especially impressed with the clean, embossed card art, and found that the six models in the set matched the look. The only time I can see using a plastic body/metal base is with loop tracks due to the car’s lower COG. 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.

This special anniversary series of premium 1:64 scale cars - is a must-have for collectors and fans around the world. That’s funny considering how there were WM’s which were behind in keeping up with the dump bins or skipping certain releases entirely.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. When a metal base and hard, plastic wheels are used with some new castings, they give some original redlines a run for their money on gravity track races. PLUS an added BONUS: The original tear-off ad sheet showing the special 50th Anniversary Collections including the Black and Gold Collection!

I would pay more if it were metal, but I’ll agree that this cost cutting crap is getting ridiculous.If you are the originator/copyright holder of this photo/item and would prefer it be excluded from our community, contact us here for removal. HW picked it because they’d have a jihad against them declared by fans of old school Hot Wheels cars if they didn’t. In 2018, Hot Wheels celebrated their 50th Anniversary by releasing several special series including the Black and Gold Series.

If you're a serious Hot Wheels collector, you know the promotional materials can be desirable and difficult to find. why the hell would WM give a shit if they can’t properly supply product to my son who enjoys playing with HW’s and myself who likes to collect? 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'. This 6-car series of premium 1:64 scale models with a seventh special chase car - all gold '67 Camaro.Modelmatic sells a range of die-cast vehicles and accessories at 1:64 (or as close as possible) scale. 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.

When you pick an iconic HW model to highlight, a model that up until not to long ago had an all metal construction and an opening hood, remove a lot of the great features, then showcase it, it just feels like a big swing and a miss. 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. With unique and realistic cars, fantastic decos and the most beautiful tires for the real enthusiast!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.
