Hot Wheels license expires end of year

Well it's a bummer for me... the only thing I wanted was the Elite 1:18 Ferrari F1 2014 from that list... I know most of you will say that the car is ugly and sucked on performance but regardless I wanted it for my F1 collection...

 

Also forgot to mentioned... anyone planning to buy the 1:18 312 T2 Lauda's car? I saw the release photos and wasn't too thrilled about it... anyway I have three Exotos with tons more detail and bought them when they were like $350 each, yep back in the day so I'll pass the Elite verson...

 

I have pre ordered the 312t2 and the la ferrari in the elite series,
I ordered them in January of this year,so hopefully should get themi in October.
Each cost €135.00 p+p? better be worth the wait.

 

I've got the Exoto but I'm thinking of buying the HW anyway. I've always thought the rear spoiler on the Exoto looked a bit out of place, too high and too far back. The HW seems to have a better looking spoiler (as raced at Monaco).

 

What do you guys think of the 1:18 GT2 Launch Version in the Elite and Super Elite versions?

This are amazing modesl for the price. I have the elite Af corse and love the car, easily on pair with Kyosho and many autoart...to me it´s simply the best model hotwheels ever made. The diference in price between the elite and the super elite it's a complete ripoff.
There is nothing to justify it, other than a diferente base and packaging and a couple of minor details....i would only buy the super elite with 50% off.....anyway, as i said they are probably mattel best efford yet, and an amazing model....i prefer my cars liveryed and also i believe the presentation gt2 had the yellow headlamps and shields, just like the af corse version. I think you shoud definitly buy one, you won't be desapointed, especially considering you can get one for less than 100 bucks...

 

All good must be sold 45-90 days (depending on agreement) from the expiration so you adjust your manufacturing cycle to that

 

Thanks. Sold as in, sold in the stores, or sold by HW to the stores?

 

I noticed that the rear spoiler changes a lot from various models, even in 1//43, i believe it probably depended on the race....i didn't check period pictures but probably they changed it forwards or backwords depending on the circuit...

 

I went thru the route of several stores, that usually yield some single card Ferraris.

NOT a single ONE!

I found two 5 pack sets, that was it.

Lots of Lambos, Ducati, etc.

NO singles of Ferraris.......I has a sad...

 

Looking for any info on this super rare Mattel
Model. Called them but not much help. Was given out to the press at the intro of the model thanks

 

Has anyone have a recent update on what's going on with Hotwheels? I thought they're going to release the LaFerrari before Christmas?

 

Prices are strong for certain Ferrari redlines

I am interested, too. I have collected some of the higher end ones, but always collected the two basic 1:43 F1 cars each year (1999-2013). I have not seen anything on the 2014 cars, so this series may be done.

They are still releasing Ferrari basic $1.00 1:64 cars in 2015, listing a new 599 and a 599XX.

 

They just anounced they will release the f14t, both in 1/18 and 1/43, with both drivers, but only in the normal series, no elite version anounced yet. As for the la Ferrari, seems it will start leaving the factory next week, so it should be here for cristhmas...

 

My Mattel rep tells me I should get most of my remaining orders by Mid December.

I have both Heritage and Elite La Ferraris on order from months apart so I assume I will get at least one of those by then.

He also tells me that even though the agreement is up, I will still be getting some shipments into the first part of 2015

 

How did u here about the F14T cars? Since there's recent changes within the Ferrari organization just maybe Mattel may get there license renewed... I wonder if they'll release the California T in 1:18 scale but as I heard this model was cancelled months ago.

 

Since you have a direct contact with your Mattel's rep, could You inquire about the 1:18 F14T cars pls?

 

The 1/18 F14Ts are BLY67 and BLY68

They are on my list of things I will still be getting from Mattel

 

Well, now I have optimism that I can continue my collection of the 1:43 cars.
Thank you

 

Any news about the 1/18 312 T2?

 

I have been told that I will also be getting the 1/18 Niki Lauda 312T2 BLY40

I think I may have to have one of those myself

 

Well I know they were going to release the F14Ts a month before the cancellation of certain 1:18 Ferraris including F14's but knowing the ordering part number doesn't mean they will actually will release them.

 

I agree Mattel can be unpredictable but I am working from a list my rep sent me when I asked him to tell me which of my orders I could still expect before the agreement ends

 

If you hear anything on the 1:43 F14T cars, would you post it here, please.

Thank you
