I'll just save up for the AutoArt version. With the exception of the 1989 Batmobile, I've been unimpressed with the build quality of Hot Wheels 1/18 diecasts (especially their Ferraris, which Mattel has exclusive rights to).

Here's more photos! The wheels are too large for it and there is no IUP? It doesn't quite have the class of the Autoart More detailed photos

Hmm, with the ICAP red interior, the car would have to have been equipped with the IUP as well. Silly Hot Wheels...

I'll still buy one of every combo they make though!

Depends on how serious a collector you are. The Hot Wheels ones have their places reserved next to my three AutoArt versions in my collection!

I think Autoart does an incredible job. However, I dont think their stuff is worth the extra $35 they went up on price. I picked up 8 of their cars when they were $45 and would of picked up the Redfire GT if it was the same price.

I agree that the price hike was painful. A little O/T but did you read the article about AutoArt in the latest issue of Car and Driver? Interesting read about the factory cities and the young Chinese workers that live there.

Yeah, just like Grimlock. At least I'll have a silver Sharpie™ marker, an X-ACTO™ knife and masking tape in handy if I ever buy one of those.

Hey, it's August!
Anyone see these yet in store shelves?
I've seen them listed as "in-stock" for a few online diecast places between $24.99 and $29.99, but the shipping and handling charges kill the deal.

They are even at the online Ford Store:

But I can't seem to get one at the dealership, will they sell them there eventually?
