About this deal

On the 11th of December 2018, Hot Wheels also released the '50 th Anniversary Master Set' which included all the 50 th Anniversary 'collections' in one large case.

In my opinion all these look like a pile of shit, I’ll spend a bit more on Johnny Lightnings and Greenlights and get some decent REALISTIC looking cars, and just what is that “rat with wheels” ? I also really liked the special 7th model – unofficially a Chase based on the small numbers in cases – an iconic 67 Camaro in gold.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.

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'. If they were going to go plastic with this model for the mainline, it would be unfortunate, but fine. 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? PLUS an added BONUS: The original tear-off ad sheet showing the special 50th Anniversary Collections including the Black and Gold Collection!Each vehicle features Real Rider wheels, unique packaging and graphics and is a longstanding favorite of collectors and racing fans of all ages. The day they put normal wheel sizes on the rear wheels is the day that I get interested in 1st gen HW Camaros.

Cards are in excellent shape and may have minor irregularities from factory packaging - no major damage.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.

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.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. 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. In 2018, Hot Wheels celebrated their 50th Anniversary by releasing several special series including the Black and Gold Series. That’s funny considering how there were WM’s which were behind in keeping up with the dump bins or skipping certain releases entirely. I think they are most certainly “testing the waters” with this plastic junk as a 50th Anniversary model.
