    I recall a list floating around here of the order of release for all the new Elites. I'm pretty sure there's a few behind schedule though...

    I'm waiting on the F50 myself and hope it'll be sometime in Nov.

    I think they both look great actually. Are they now available or was that another pre-order site? Obviously not a US site...

    I think that overall they both look good but have to agree on the size of the wheels on the 599. Why can't Mattel get them right - the Enzo's were too small and the F430's are too big. The F50 only looks right because it was based on the Maisto model.

    The 599 GTB on littlebolide's website meets my expectations. I was hoping that Hotwheels would put a more refined rear grill on the F50 though. Clearly that has not happened, so aside from a nicer paint job I don't really see that the Elite F50 stands out compared to Maisto's F50.

    The tires are HORRIBLE on the 599, way to big....looks like truck tires.
