Hot Wheels Elite 458 Italia

[[KRAFTIG]]

I'm not sure if it was a marketing scheme with the executives at Mattel or a distribution channel issue, but these suckers are very rare at the moment. Must be a popular car with the masses as the production was limited to 15,00 units, have we already sold through??? I didn't want to take a chance that I wouldn't have this iconic release from Ferrari in my stable. I purchased one from a Montreal shop for $99CND. More than I wanted to pay, but supply and demand had the upper hand this day!

Again, what hasn't been said about the latest Hot Wheels offerings. Their game is on! This is an excellent model in my opinion, the detail inside and out is fantastic. This one is a heavy sucker too. I offer one complainant; exhaust as noted by others on numerous occasions is lacking. Looks cheap and unfinished (who was the member who painted it? Please post your link! TIA!). Don't let this stop you though, this model rivals die casts costing much more. Autoart and others, you should be a ashamed for your entry level price point! Thank you Hot Wheels, keep up the excellent work! Enjoy the pics!!

It was the going rate for the model when it came. $79US was the suggested retail.
