Has anyone else noticed Hot Wheels have launched a series of 1:43 cars in oversized blister packs like their 1:64 models.
In this part of the world they are priced at the equivalent of US$21 / GBP 16.70 - around double what I think they need to be given the quality.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see what they produce and if results in any 1:64 collectors progressing to 1:43.

Interesting, but not what i'd want for my collection. I agree with the VFM comment.

Judging by the comments on the local 1:64 group pf hard core HW collectors, they would rather hold a wet dog turd in their hand than these. They view it as a total wastes of time, effort and material.Almost as a betrayal.
But, a lot of them say the same things anytime anything but an American Muscle car is released.

I see on e-bay they also produced a 2021 Mustang Mach 1. I might give it a try.

They look ok to me and if they have the imagination to produce something that no one else has I'd buy almost regardless of quality. How about something like the Hispano Suiza Carmen?  |

Yeah, doesn't look like an inspiring choice of subjects.

They are kind of interesting, if the price is right. If they are available in stores like 1/64 Hotwheels, at least there's no shipping costs to pay from online stores. So far haven't seen these here in Finland. Seems there's more models planned for release: hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Premium_1:43 |

At those prices, a hard pass! Subject matter not working either, but HW is smart not to produce what I would want  |

Saw them live, priced at EUR 30 which I think is too much for below Solido quality level. They appeared a little oversized to me.

I can't imagine they will sell many at that price Tom. I'm not sure what their strategy is, but they seem all over the place with their pricing.

They didn't sell at the swapmeet. He had two when he got there and i didn't stay until the end but it was getting a lot quieter already. Hard to find a more focused crowd...
