yes, I'm a lil sad that you can't look at the gorgeous Ferrari engine but my god is this beauty. I have this on pre order and I can't wait.

What a lasting impression for Hot Wheels Elite. Just wish they weren't throwing in the towel.

there is so many rumours going around but someone wrote this on a FB page that I follow, that it had to do with Ferrari wanting Hot Wheels Elite to make ALOT more models but Mattel told them that there just wasn't the money in it like there was a few years ago. I don't know how much of this I believe since Ferrari and mass producing have never went hand and hand. Who knows. Apparently Bburago says they can make a lot of Ferrari models, this may come at the cost of quality.

Derrick at TM said that he saw the new catalogue and the new Buragos don't even come close to HW quality

That doesn't surprise me on bit! Well I guess I won't be collecting Ferrari models any more... :?

i wonder what Ferrari models Bburago has already produced since the license agreement?

ya never now. They might fix some of the shittier models that Hot Wheels Elite did. Like the damn 360 Challenge Stradale......man that pisses me off.

maybe they are using Hot Wheels Elite moods since how could they already have de casts since the lease only changed hands recently?

Looks like Barbie caused the ending of HW-Ferrari contract: Mattel CEO resigns. I guess the HotWheels’ sales will drop even further without Ferrari license.

Collector Studio just got the Laferrari and Speciale. They're usually fair with their prices, but not this time! They're both $230 each!!!! And the Lauda 312 is 270!!!!

That makes no sense aren't they still readily available? Perhaps he has the only two that are in mint condition.
