I don’t get it, it’s too small and utterly pathetic in terms of detail, but plenty of collectors go nuts for the ’67 Camaro over and above any other HW. I would pay more if it were metal, but I’ll agree that this cost cutting crap is getting ridiculous.

Featuring iconic Hot Wheels originals and American Classics from the sixties, each car carries a stunning livery and comes showcased in a beautiful matching package that commemorates Hot Wheels Golden Anniversary. That’s funny considering how there were WM’s which were behind in keeping up with the dump bins or skipping certain releases entirely.

Hot Wheels also held the ' Hot Wheels Legends 50th Anniversary Tour' where the Hot Wheels team travelled to several states in the USA to hold real-life car shows to find the next car to be 'immortalized as a Hot Wheels Die Cast'.the manager assured me new inventory was to arrive, but it was just a case or maybe two on the pegs which didn’t last too long. PLUS an added BONUS: The original tear-off ad sheet showing the special 50th Anniversary Collections including the Black and Gold Collection! This special anniversary series of premium 1:64 scale cars - is a must-have for collectors and fans around the world. In 2018, Hot Wheels celebrated their 50th Anniversary by releasing several special series including the Black and Gold Series.

I mean, hell, they could have just said “screw the cost differential” JUST this once, just for this occasion! When a metal base and hard, plastic wheels are used with some new castings, they give some original redlines a run for their money on gravity track races. It would make a statement if it was left hanging on the pegs, but I don’t really see that happening. On the 11th of December 2018, Hot Wheels also released the '50 th Anniversary Master Set' which included all the 50 th Anniversary 'collections' in one large case. Being that this model has to be composed of plastic and the ‘Vette actually contains a non-metallic body.It is a challenging way to collect but fun as well, because I am forced to prioritize and there is nothing in the collection that I won’t absolutely love. And if the technical side of things came into the decision (in terms of the paint finish) they CAN do a chrome finish on metal…they did it years ago with the Shelby GR-1 concept car and it looked stunning…I can’t imagine doing the same finish in gold would be a problem.
