DC Hotwheels

I have not heard many of the releases - I think these are the only pics from 1Stopdiecast.com:

I've been hoping for a 1/50 Batcopter since the beginning. I wish they'd release the Batgirl cycle to the public too. I hate when they do those con exclusives and screw everyone else.

Also keep an eye out for a return of the 1/50 scale Batman series this year- there is going to be some kick-***** releases including the 1966 series TV show Batcopter!

Great...the line has been stagnant for quite some time now...

I have yet to see these in stores. Visited two out of town Wal-Marts, a Target and a TRU and nada everywhere. Are these a limited release, is it Mattel's typical awful distribution, or is it the dreaded Hot Wheels scalpers of old back at it again?

I would say it's more of typical Mattel \ Walmart distribution (it's pretty much the same for all the premium series). As for scalpers, people are always buying up whatever might be resold for profit- but there aren't many cars that are super desirable- except maybe the Superman Panel delivery and the Dairy Delivery cars.

I think your best bet is to check out Milezone.com - they are very reasonable and offer great service- I have been buying from them for a few years now and have been very happy.

I "think" that this line has actually already came and went in most of the stores. I first seen them like two months or so ago. I have not seen hide nor hair of any of the other lines either any more such as the MOTU and cereal cars.

I hope we get them in Canada. I want every single one!

Agreed. Otherwise some kind of cross border shopping trip to buffalo would be in order. Although that s always so hit and mss given that every other collector in southern Ontario tends to have the same idea.

Just something to note- if anyone should come across these sorts of cars, the most desirable to collectors is usually the Dairy Deliveries and Panel delivery (the type of vehicle is usually identified on the card).

Dually noted. Thanks for the tip.

Hey, those are pretty cool! I'll have to get a couple.

I saw these at Target yesterday. They had all the singles except for Batman.

It reminded me of the old Corgi vehicles from the late 1970's.

I went to 3 Walmarts today and nothing. If they were here I've never seen them ever.

Scott, I went to one Wal-Mart today and checked for you while I was there. Sadly, There were none to be had.

They came and went pretty quickly. I will still keep an eye out for you though. You never know.

You can still buy the DC 4 pack exclusive at Walmart.com and have it shipped for free to a local store:

Walmart.com: Hot Wheels Nostalgia DC Comics, 4-Pack: Vehicles, Trains & Remote Control

The best way to find them is Milezone.com or Ebay or TTP - there is not likely to be much hanging on the pegs at this point.
