I still haven't found the regular version in the wild as yet. Every Target or Wally World I hit seems to have every other car in the range except this one.

Add the blue variation to my hunt list. As this is a new model, I’m sure we’ll see more colour variants over time. A chrome one, a red one………….

I’ve only found one in the wild. Keep hunting as I think more will turn up. One of my local Walmart stores must be having supply chain issues as older releases show up from time to time.

I found a dude at a Target that keeps some of the good stuff back for honest collectors like myself. He says he gets irritated watching the resellers waiting for the new stock just to snatch them all up. I got to know him by just being friendly. Not sure how long this will last but sometimes it doesn't hurt to ask.

Case J will have the blue variant.

Some UK sellers have them on eBay.

I was browsing a local model shop this week in Sydney, Australia, and found a tooned Batmobile that I wasn't planning to buy. It's cool, and will sit with my similarly-sized "Wacky Races" cars, I think.

The hook had a strengthening staple in it, but I'm an opener!

Just picked this 1/64 Batmobile up
From the seller description;
It is a Hot Wheels MATTEL DREAM MACHINE casting that I customized into a vintage looking BATMAN BATMOBILE that kind of resembles the old tin toy Batmobiles from back in the day . I re-painted it and added Batmobile canopy windows and I added custom decals to give it a limited edition / chase car style / super treasure hunt like look.

Andy,
I thought it would be right up your alley. It is based on the Dream Machine. I recall it being 2 tone.

They now have a tooned version

Just got my "tooned" Hot Wheels Batmobile! A friend found one at a local grocery store for me!
