    Just picked these up at Walmart. I already had the 512M but it was that silly blue and blingy wheels, I was really happy when I saw that they have released a proper red one with gold wheels.


    Sorry for the crappy cameraphone pic.

    Weird. One of the guys in my office called me today and said he had important business. I went to his office and he said, "I know you like Ferraris, and I was these at WalMart." The exact same two.

    Wish we had Walmart in England. Actually, I thought people in the States hated Walmart coz they swallow everything up? Can't be that bad if they sell those 1:64 Fezzas!

    You either love Wal-Mart, or you hate them. There's rarely a middle ground. I saw a show on Wal-Mart on MSNBC earlier in the year that stated something like "88% of all Americans (yes, EVERYONE) will purchase at least one item from a Wal-Mart in a given year."

    I pride myself in being part of the other 12%, but then again, there aren't any Wal-Marts in my area. If there were, I still wouldn't shop there...

    However, that's another discussion entirely, and is probably one best reserved for the Politics, Religion, & Controversy section of FChat.

    Nice! I just picked up the same F430 Spider today as well. I wanted to get the regular one and the "fast wheels" or whatever it's called but it was slightly damaged package and I'm a collector so I couldn't.

    I picked up the 1/64 MC12 about a month and half ago.

    I picked up the '2005 First Editions' Maserati MC12 (#20) and Bugatti Veyron (#144) earlier today. I did see the 512M earlier, but passed on it because it wasn't red. I saw also saw the Lotus Sport Elise (#163, White, 10 Spokes), which I'm putting off buying until I see the other Elise to compare against.

    There are a couple Lotus Sport Elises. I have a gold and black one which I think looks better than the white ones. Has anyone seen the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Its bueatiful. The only one I've seen is yellow. I dont know if they come in any other colors.

    You're killing me! You put off buying the 512M b/c it's not red, yet I look at *every single* Hotwheels car EVERY time I set foot in a Target, Toys-R-Us, etc. and have yet to even SEE one... They've got MC12s coming out the ying-yang, but never a 512. Figures...

    Mainly silver, with blue/green accents on the doors (mostly) and hood. Clear windows and white interior. The engine and grille appear chromed. Chrome 10 spokes.

    Maybe in a day or two after I get the whole thing set up again...

    I'm just curious, what would you consider a 'good looking city car mat' (because it's not so much that my mat's anything special, but that I just have a ton of minicars)?

    Hey Aaron - I have plenty of them. If you ever make it out to the store, I'll throw them at you.

    The F430 Spider (RED) comes with PR5's and O5/C Wheels.
    The 512M (RED) comes with gold 5 spoke Wheels. I haven't seen it with the 05/C Wheels yet. The #5 tampo can be found with a large behind the door or a small on the door.
    The 512M (BLUE) comes with gold 5 spoke and O5/C Wheels. The #5 tampo can be found with a large behind the door or a small on the door.
    The Cartoony looking 360 Challenge is out in a Maroon with flames and PR5 Wheels.
    So far that is all that has surfaced on the 2006 line of Hot Wheels as far as Ferrari. I hope they put out some more though. I want to see more of the Enzo in other colors.

    Do you have a spare Veyron (I've been hunting for the black/red one)?

    Edit: How about a 430 Spider, or 512M (red version)?

    Lastly, if you could post pictures of the last bunch of cars you listed, also...

    that was the only black/red one i picked up, whish i had bought more at the time. until i suscribe i'm out of space for uploading pics, i'll be doing that soon. the 430 spider i had bought two one for me and one for my son to play with, the target up here always has the ferrari's available. i'll see if i can dig up some more. sadly though the 512M was the only one. i did get however 5 box sets of the ferrari's just recently.

    What do they include?

    And, in other news, I grabbed a Porsche 911 Turbo and Cayenne Turbo from Wal Mart yesterday afternoon.

    I just got (through ebay a week ago) two of the F430 spiders...one with the "proper" silver wheels & one with the new Hot Wheels wheels that are very thin bronze mags...... both very cool. So where is the F430 coupe? I know that Hot Wheels made the 360 Modena, but then I also found that Matchbox (also owned by Mattel) did two 360 spiders...one in yellow & one in silver....got them both....though the Matchbow casting is just a bit sub-par
