So if you still do not have the first regular version of the Hotwheels Ecto-1 it looks like Mattel just upped the anty again. If you thought the first was hard to find this one may be even a tougher find.
This is the "Collector's" Hotwheels Ecto-1, featuring a more extensive paint application. This piece sold for $20.00 each exclusively at the 2010 SDCC.
Rumors have been heard that the piece is now going upwards of $60.00 on EvilBay.

Mattel is releasing a new version of the Hot Wheels Ecto-1, that will be available exclusively at San Diego Comic Con. Here is a first look at the new version, which differs greatly from the one you may find in stores. This version includes a different and better paint job that helps to change the look. The windows are no longer tinted blue, and the light bars are painted. The wheels are also more like the originals. It comes in a clear display case and in a collectible box that resembles a Ghost Trap.
The Hot Wheels version of the Ghostbusters Ecto-1 has been one of the most hotly sought after castings in the 2010 main line at retail. As a result, Hot Wheels decided to create the most detailed 1:64 version of the Ecto-1 to date and sell it at SDCC. Featuring a die-cast body, die-cast chassis, Real Rider tires, and a box that looks like Ghostbusters ghost trap, it'll be sure to sell out fast. While supplies last.

On a personal note I like the fact that it has real rubber reals. I am such a sucker for real riders.
