Is this a common occurrence? I figured that someone here might have a few to look at for comparison sake.

Thank You,

That is the Boulevard series DMC-12. You are extremely lucky to have found one of those to begin with. The front wheel is incorrect. On the Half dozen I have the Front wheel appears to be the same as the rear including tire size.

Thank you all

Two new DeLorean Hot Wheels to come this spring/summer - checking to see if I can post the images of the cars here. The first is part of the Hot Wheels "Juke Box" series and is a Wal-Mart exclusive. I don't expect the styling to appeal to many DeLorean owners. The entire Juke Box line is also about double the price of the standard HW cars, so that will further limit appeal, IMO.

The second one is more "normal" looking and should be part of their Basic Cars Mainline at the regular price point.

I see from googling, that the JukeBox line has models associated with various musical genres (soul, grunge, swing), with car graphics to match. I await with trepidation to see what genre the D will represent; will it be a Rock'n'Roll link to MJF in BTTF or New Romantic or Punk from the early 80s???

There's also a line of Decade cars. I keep expecting to see the D for the 80's.

Does it come with a tiny figure of John Taylor, Duran Duran bassist and former DeLorean owner :giggle:

What will be the scale?
The small one or 1/43 scale?

1/64 scale.

Jukebox DeLorean pushed back to November I was told today.

HW City version of the DeLorean still scheduled for late summer.

As I'm allowed to post images, I will do so...
