Not only is this the newest Super, but it is a never-before-seen casting. And not only is it a never-before-seen casting, but it is none other than the iconic Toyota 2000GT!
The AE86, a 510, Skylines, a Celica, and now the grandaddy of them all, done beautifully. We don't know if this is officially a New Model for 2013, because this casting was actually created for the 2012 Racing line, and was to be part of the final batch of that series that was eventually cancelled. As much of a bummer it is that the batch was cancelled (what other models were scheduled...), we have the supreme silver lining that this casting was finished. Can you tell we are just a bit excited?
We here at Lamley are already stretching our legs, working on our ability to charm toy managers, and learning the latest pallet-raiding techniques, because there has never been a more MUST-HAVE Super TH in our eyes. We can't wait to get one in our hands and give it the proper Lamley photo treatment...




That really does look like a great model, one for my collection, definitely......
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this is how the 2012 Racing version would have looked, sans the TH logo? I wish it were in white, but I find no reason to be anything but completely overjoyed we're going to have this one join the Hot Wheels family.

perfect... will be another HTF!!! car...
ReplyDeleteThe Racing series 2000GT was going to have the Carroll Shelby race car paint. Another cancelled japanese nostalgic was the Safari Rally 240Z (#11, I believe)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, great job on this one; looks fantastic, and I love the fender mirrors. I don't need the super, the regular mainline one will be awesome too. Is it just me, or does it look metal/metal? Probably not, but...
thought all the supers were metal/metal? even if the mainline version wasn't (see: that S2K)
DeleteOk this will be #1 on my list to get.. It going to be hard but ill be more persistent to get it.
