Thumbs up

The usual stockists in the UK are a bit rubbish at the moment for new models. I've only recent uncovered the new yellow GT500 SuperSnake (I now have 2!), but they mostly seem to have the 2010 models

I will be having a good hunt for these Boss ones though

As I posted in the main thread, I found my dream car on the pegs today after going to three Targets...Found one, Hotwheels 2012 Boss 302 Laguna Seca. I was so excited when I found it. But, when I got home, I noticed the windows were all scratched up due to manufacturing errors. This was the only one on the pegs and I think that is why.

I found out that the Hotwheels Shelby Super Snake's window plastic fits in the Boss no problem. So, I drilled it apart and switched it out.
Looks great!
The correct details are there, the X brace, center gauge pod, and rear seat delete, the splitter and the spoiler, and the side exhaust. They are first showing up at Targets and then stores everywhere! I'm so happy and what a great Thanksgiving!!



The Boss with some of the competition. Chevy ZL1.

Also found the Lamborghini Aventador.

The only flaw I find in accuracy for the Hotwheels casting is the front horse emblem. The horse on the Hotwheels is the standard GT bigger emblem and not the Horse and Bars like the real 1:1.

My local Walmart finally got a few Boss 302s and Aventadors. The paint quality is atrocious!


Every single Mustang had paint issues, nearly all of them had flaking red paint on the roof and spoiler. I managed to find one that was alright but at home I found that it has a gash on the hood and the chassis sits sideways because of excess plastic flashing. I'm still on the hunt for a proper one.

Sounds like you have the same issues I had. Good luck! I found two good ones recently, finally.
