Jeez, does George Lucas own Hot Wheels? 5 years from now there will still be new models of the same thing coming out.Originally Posted by DMCH James
I officially give up trying to get at least one of every model, looks like they are just never going to stop.

well, that's certainly different. Very 80s. Very "New Wave".
Hate it.
I'll still buy one of course

I agree this is pretty bad. It does scream the 80's and I too will feel compelled to hunt this down.mmmmmmm

Finally got a half dozen of these in Wallyworld today. Subtly different from the others in the metal. (Note to self - 3 months from when James gets them, til I can get them)
They were located just past the Christmas trees, to the left of the garlands. In freaking October. October! I was in on September 18 and the Christmas trees were up then. Who buys a Christmas tree in September?? /rant

A friend of mine found me 2 of these the other day. I really like the color scheme, but the details are really lacking in a lot of areas on this particular model.

I still need to bite the bullet and get an RLC for the collection, and haven't seen any New Wave ones yet....

We still have people and customers that stop by just to give us hot wheels. I have a decent sized collection at this point!

Picked up one of the new ones at my local hardware/five and dime shop. Cool custom factory-inspired stripes but I would have rather seen an emblem on the grill than the hot wheels logos.
What is the future of the DMC/Mattel license? I had read the Red Line Club could be the last. Why not use that new set of toolings again? The Retro Entertainment series drops the "Retro" next year. Maybe they could find a way to do opening doors for a $5 price tag.
Also, what about a Proto 1 hot wheels based on the original HW DeLorean that eventually became the generic Turismo? No new tooling costs there.

Picked up 3 today at my local Walmart. You know what that means? If my Walmart has them, they are everywhere now.

On a side note...that's not a bad looking looking graphic package to sport in real life.

I thought the same thing! The quality of this car isn't as high as some others, but I wouldn't mind those red accent stripes in real life.
Has anyone actually found the new wave cars yet?
