My first ever hunt and I found 3 red ones! Wally World.
Wow is that a pre-purchase in-cart shot?
Just found a couple of red ones in the dump bin. Also, this zamac corolla was in there and now it's making my Boulevard DeLorean look very grey.
Why yes, that is a pre-purchase in-cart... wait a minute... am I being mocked? :) No really, I was just shocked to find some my first time looking - I'd heard of some folks striking out over and over.Quote:

Others like the RedLine collectors, Boulevard, New wave, etc. bring better money. I have only been able to source one Boulevard car and I bought one RL from DMCMW. Still looking for a New Wave.Quote:

For hot wheels collectors I think "premiere" or "new models" earns it a special status in that it's the first time the tooling has been created/used. Mattel has to crank out a new one dollar toy, and there is more detail budgeted for the first versions. Specifically, all sides of the silver gold and black versions have full detail all around. Later versions did not, a reality of a long term cost effective solution. The recent releases do not have a painted grill, DMC emblem or tail lights. The silver version was the first, and like a first edition of book, holds more value.
IIRC Manson, the designer, did a great presentation at DCS2012 and explained the blue window is an homage to the original hot wheels DMC12. It was really Proto 1, rejected by JZD before the car was updated for production. This tooling had already been created and was used anyway after modification. It became the hot wheels original, the Turismo.
If you got to have just one, the all-metal Boulevard with real riders (rubber tires) and turbine wheels is where it's at IMO. All of the others have plastic chassis. Still waiting for the RLC opening doors version to show up in another line.
Worth? I dunno. I just know I don't have one and it was bugging me that the collection was missing something :)Quote:

It seems that for a few months this year Walmart, Target, etc. had Hotwheels DeLoreans but then they just disappeared. Which makes me think they stopped making them. Which makes me think they probably rotate what cars they produce, and then produce them in batches. Does anyone know how often DeLoreans are produced, and is there any rhyme or reason to when they come out (e.g., every spring, every other year, etc.?) Thanks.
