Hotwheels Model S

[Chris TX]

HEY! It looks like BLUE Model S is coming! I've seen the red Matchbox and the silver Hot Wheels (and own them) but there's also a red Hot Wheels Model S.
I guess this is the only way to buy a Tesla from a dealership in Texas
I wish it was green, though:

I saw this and immediately tried to get one online. (since mine is blue) - was going to make it into a Christmas ornament.
Anyone who knows how to get one - I'd greatly appreciate it.

Two ways: Hang out at Toys R Us or Target; eBay. (Possibly WalMart or other stores, these are two I've had luck with).
I've got more Red Model S's than I can shake a stick at.
Still looking for the elusive blue one.

And when they show up tell them its not your fault that Mattel operates their business in this terrible fashion and the only way to get what you want without seeing your left kidney is to hang out at the store for new shipments.

White Tesla Model s Matchbox Custom | eBay

Not exactly what I was looking for, but interesting still.

Afaik, the short cards are used in Europe, while the long ones are for the US market (probably to fit all the warnings and disclaimers on the back of the card :tongue: ) But I'm not a Hotwheels collector / expert, so maybe there is a completely different explanation.

Btw, I also saw the red version on long cards, and the silver version on short cards.

I believe it has to do with stocking the merchandise hangers. If they alternate short card long card they nest together nicely, fitting more per hanger.

Well since I was out in Missouri visiting my sister we happened to be in a WalMart and thought, hey I should look and see if I can find some, since noone out here where I am even knows what a Tesla is nevermind trying to go find the Matchbox/HotWheels of them.

Well we found a bunch and this has started a scavenger hunt from store to store looking for these now. Been to all the WalMarts, Dollar General, KMarts, and any other store that might have a toy section with possible cars and we have cleaned them out.

So next time I run into some of you guys out there I have a bunch of spares to share since I know how hard they are to find.

The image of the blue on popped up on a game my kids play on their iPads called Hot wheels Showdown.
you scan the code on the packet and it lets you race that particular car, the weird thing is the Tesla's race backwards!
And they still win

Went to Walmart the other day and found the blue Super Volt and red Roadster version of that "HW Green Speed" series. I haven't seen any blue Model Ses show up on eBay, so I bet they aren't in stores, yet.

Had a blast today with my son at our local Walmart - they had a huge box out, and we spent like half an hour digging. Not sure who had more fun - my 5 year old or me :biggrin:

@rog - great haul!

Keep your eyes peeled, there's a blue Tesla Model S Hot Wheels coming out in 2016:

Just a data point...picked up these two from Borders in Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi. They keep me company while I wait for my shipment of a real Tesla to arrive.

Found another great combination today in one of those Walmart bins :biggrin:

Has anyone spotted the blue model s hot wheels in the stores yet?
I see on ebay it's now no longer only being sold by the user in Malaysia but some users in US locations are popping up.

Out of the 5 2016 Hot Wheels Green Speed cars, I've seen the 1/5 Roadster and the 3/5 Super Volts. I see so many of the Super Volts.
