Now for the Important Stuff - HotWheels

For comparison though, how would they look compared to Vitesse's (Sunstar) version?



I have 2 versions. The regular and LE versions. Both are really nice, but the LE is more refined with some of the parts. Like the headlights and the surface finish.



The wheels on these look really good as well.

Those wheels look great! Looks like they got all 45 spokes in there. I am surprised that they are able to get 45 in that small of a wheel. I was told that we could not get that many goves/spokes with the depth we currently have them at. See my previous post. Honestly, when I first saw the pictures, I did not notice that there were only 25 spokes.

Hot Wheels version will not have opening doors. Again, I have only seen pictures of the prototype. But, what I do notice is their reactor is a little too tall. On the Hot Wheels version, it will be lower. I cannot really see what is going on in the rear deck area. Since I am just comparing pictures, it will look very similar to Vitesse version.

I am so used to wroing on 1/64, I had to grab another 1/43 that was laying aroud here to get an idea of what size this is. Looks like it is smaller than I thought, I was thinking maybe 5 inches. I am guessing that the final model will be around 4 inches long, 1.5 inches wide. Also, the model I see in pictures is just a grey resin model and it looks way bigger in high-res pictures. I will have a better idea when I see the prototype or pre-production model in person. There is no paint or graphics on it, so I am unable to comment on colour at this time.

Saw those this morning. So far, so good! will have to see the final product though. Vitesse's closed door version is pretty good.

My local WW has a single lonely non-D Boulevard car on the racks for the past month.

Soon.

Excellent! There are precious few things that will make me venture into that hellhole, and this is one of them

Wonder if Target has them.

i have yet to see Boulevard HWs of any kind at my local Walmart...

I finally got a Boulevard at a local hobby shop. I have to say I'm not impressed. The finish was bare, but not grained. It was shiny in places, dull in others and pitted terribly, the wheel detail was lacking, the tires were oversized, and the paint detail was not much better than the normal HW car. My modified hot wheels car that I stripped grained and painted looked much better.

I'm not going off on Hot Wheels, I just don't see 4 bucks in enhanced detail there, so I will never open it and only buy one or two more(and not the normal 12-18 ) just to have.
