About this deal

Being that this model has to be composed of plastic and the ‘Vette actually contains a non-metallic body. The day they put normal wheel sizes on the rear wheels is the day that I get interested in 1st gen HW Camaros.

To celebrate our 50th anniversary let’s make a set of cars with no history or uniqueness in a very unusual color scheme. This 6-car series of premium 1:64 scale models with a seventh special chase car - all gold '67 Camaro. If they were going to go plastic with this model for the mainline, it would be unfortunate, but fine. On the 11th of December 2018, Hot Wheels also released the '50 th Anniversary Master Set' which included all the 50 th Anniversary 'collections' in one large case. why the hell would WM give a shit if they can’t properly supply product to my son who enjoys playing with HW’s and myself who likes to collect?

It is a challenging way to collect but fun as well, because I am forced to prioritize and there is nothing in the collection that I won’t absolutely love. Featuring iconic Hot Wheels originals and American Classics from the sixties, each car carries a stunning livery and comes showcased in a beautiful matching package that commemorates Hot Wheels Golden Anniversary. PLUS an added BONUS: The original tear-off ad sheet showing the special 50th Anniversary Collections including the Black and Gold Collection!

Hot Wheels also held the ' Hot Wheels Legends 50th Anniversary Tour' where the Hot Wheels team travelled to several states in the USA to hold real-life car shows to find the next car to be 'immortalized as a Hot Wheels Die Cast'. Modelmatic sells a range of die-cast vehicles and accessories at 1:64 (or as close as possible) scale.I mean, hell, they could have just said “screw the cost differential” JUST this once, just for this occasion! When a metal base and hard, plastic wheels are used with some new castings, they give some original redlines a run for their money on gravity track races. When you pick an iconic HW model to highlight, a model that up until not to long ago had an all metal construction and an opening hood, remove a lot of the great features, then showcase it, it just feels like a big swing and a miss. I think they are most certainly “testing the waters” with this plastic junk as a 50th Anniversary model. The only time I can see using a plastic body/metal base is with loop tracks due to the car’s lower COG.
