    I saw them and unfortunately the quality of the image printing is a little blurry on a very small portion of them-- as in, the one I really wanted . That may be just the items I saw, not a line-wide issue. I love the idea of He-Man driving around in a cheesy van with a mural of himself on the side.

      I'm not big into Hot Wheels but I do grab the Batman and movie cars for my sister and me when I see them. I really like MOTU and would have gotten these if they weren't $5.99 a piece. Do not get the price on them when HW Batmobiles, Ecto-1 and Back to the Future cars are a little over a dollar. It's not like Mattel has to pay a big licensing fee on MOTU.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        I agree, but these are more heavy duty cars... more detail, heavier and better paint..it's not a typical $1 hot wheel

          i wonder if this could lead to more in store heman products. Mattel has said in the past that they didnt know if demand for Masters of the Universe was high enough to put into retail

            I'm guilty of picking up the ones I could find at the local brick and mortar.

              I saw a few of them at our local Wally World but passed on picking one up due to the price.

                  These are part of the Nostalgia series from Hot Wheels. They are known as premium cars since they have an all metal body and base and come with real rubber tires known as Real Riders. The regular cars that now cost $1.09 are the mainline and some have plastic bases or bodies and hard plastic wheels.

                  C case (released before the B case?!)General Mills Cereal including a Frankenberry van, Count Chocula Chevelle panel wagon, and BooBerry truck.

                    I'll have to keep an eye out for the Monster and DC sets...MOTU didn't interest me when I saw them
