Feed SharkYou may already have this on your radar, but beginning tomorrow we'll be offering an exclusive 1966 TV Series Batmobile on HotWheelsCollectors.com. This 1:64 scale version is really the ultimate version of the car. It's as if we stepped back in time and made the car in the old-style Hot Wheels vein. It will come in Spectraflame black with our signature Neo-Classic wheels, and for the first time it will feature a die-cast chassis.
Best of all, the car is being made to order. We're keeping it up on the site for a week. However many orders we have after that, that's what we'll tell the factory to produce. Therefore, this is obviously a pre-order item.
The offer is being made only to our Red Line Club (RLC) members. This is one of the perks of membership, along with a 24-hour priority window on most exclusive items we offer for sale. Another one of those exclusive items is a rather large Pixar "Cars" set I'm sure you've heard about (going up for sale 5/20). Meaning if your readers were interested in that and the Batmobile, now's a great time to join the club. Additional details of a Red Line Club membership can be found here: http://www.hotwheelsshop.com/store/hwprodc.php?p_page_id=122313&p_display_group_id=494You Below is the article that is currently on our site re: the sale. I've also attached images from our e-sheet and the packaging artwork. Feel free to post details on your site, and let me know if you have any questions.
