New Hot Wheels 240Z

[Zak's Z]

...I took the kids to ToysRus the other day and after my wife said I was the one who looked most excited as I went thru every car on the HotWheels rack. I still didnt find one. I would have bought a few if i did!

Disapointed.

I spent the best part of half an hour in the toy section of Big W today, rummaging, and I mean RUMMAGING through all the Hot Wheel models. By the time I was finished, there were more models on the shelf below than there were left on the pegs but, all to no avail. Guess we down under types will have to wait a little longer.

Another bloke, about my age, who was also looking at the models, commented to me that; "It's great having a grandson isn't it?. It gives us an excuse to play with cars huh ?".

While not the Hot Wheels example, this place has a nice selection of die cast cars:

Well, I went into the local Wal Mart and bought the only two I could find. 97 cents each! The packaging is a little different from what jmark posted but the cars are the same.

I have an old Matchbox 260Z in the box. I'll have to get me a few of these too.

Stopped by Wally World and bought out their selection of 240z's (four!)

Couldn't stop there, though. I ended up with the triumvirate of Hot Wheels Nissans.

The 240, for those of you who haven't gotten one, is a left-hooker. That I expected.

The Skyline is a right-hooker, that too was expected.

The 350 is a right-hooker. That was not expected.

The 240 is great-very detailed. Rolls nice too.

Now, the Skyline is an unexpected treat-detailed more than expected. They've installed a carbon fiber hood, intercooler, and air intake (in the left headlight area-cool!) Add to that a roll cage, and the deal is done

The 350 has matte paint (better for absorbing radar) funky rims, and an outragous wing and an obnoxious red interior. Very riced out, but I just had to get all the Nissans.

I bought a couple of extras last night if anyone needs one. PM me.

Now there is a Yellow 240z, still #120, and still number 36 of 38.

Hey thanks for the tip, off to the toy store I go.

For those :cheeky: crazy hotwheel collectors the yellow one is called a variation. There was one on ebay last night bringing $27.00 +. They (hotwheel collectors) believe that variations are accidents. Right!!!

That's just sad...It obviously isn't an accident. The window coloring in the white one is blue, while the yellow one has dark tinting that is almost black (not blue).

Why Hot Wheels chose to keep it as #36/38 is odd, since all it does is cause confusion. Maybe they should call the white on a Series 1 car, and the yellow a series 2...
