Hi everyone this showed up in my email and I thought I would share in case any of you are into Hot Wheels Models.

Scroll down the page to the artwork of the original and it has 2 gas flaps on the hood. One for driver & passenger! :-)

Ships before November 2023? Sounds like a scam.

What’s the deal with the “De lorean” on the back.

I have ordered toys for my son from Mattel before. It’s not a scam. Not sure why their are mistakes on the Delorean

Did you have to wait a year? Do they charge your card right away?

That DeLorean rendering is the vehicular equivalent of a game of telephone gone wrong.

Everything that is slightly off with the 1/64 scale hotwheels sculpt is replicated back up to full scale. The front end is approaching the uncanny valley of Chrysler Lebaron.

Plus the pictures of the DMC12 appear under the text of the Alpha 5 and vice versa


But $40 for two $1 cars still on their cards, but in a nice box??????

Mind you, I don't have a HW DMC12 with two gas flaps, so .............

Oh be careful! The website renders are the only place where you get the extremely rare 2 gas flapped hood. The actual hotwheel model does not appear to have them. :-(

It was a doctor action figure during Covid. It took about 8 months, yes they charged the card right away. But the action figure did arrive right before Christmas of last year. I wasn’t horribly impressed with it, but he seemed happy.

I didn’t order this Delorean, I already have a Delorean dmc-12 hot wheels and I am not sure how I feel about this Alpha 5 carrying the Delorean name……it makes me feel conflicted

It's obviously a Canonball car. More seriously, a DeLorean would be a great contender for the "Musketball", it'd be right there in terms of performance for this type of run.
