Speed Machines

Image
Got my hands on the Speed Machines, a Ferrari and a Lamborghini each. Speed Machines were introduced in the year 2010 and special features included a high level of detailing and co-molded wheels. However the batch of Speed Machines that were released in 2011, do not specify these on the card and also have the usual FTE wheels instead of the co molded wheels on the 2010 releases. Lamborghini Reventon Roadster Ferrari FXX An example of the co molded wheels and the special features listed on the card can be seen from the pic of the '67 Ford Shelby GT500 belonging to the 2010 batch of Hot Wheels Speed Machines. Special features listed on the pack are Hot cars, Special Wheels and Deluxe Detailing.

Recently, I finally came to own the super exclusive 2014 Collector Edition Walmart Mailin Exclusive 69 Camaro. And to begin with, its mindblowing. Other insignia include, Zamac Edition 2014, a Hot Wheels Collectors.com logoand the words, '2014 Collector Edition', with some beautiful multiple angle illustrations of the car on the backside. All in all, this is a collector's treat! Other features include, Gloss Black Hand Spray for the Roof and Hood bulge, Matt Black Handspray for the rear panel and headlights Silver hand spray for the body and Red Hand Spray for the taillights, all of which are detailed on the back card in dot matrix pixels, makes the reading a bit tough though!
