[YOLO]

another builder in AZ (in the hot rod hall of fame) has had several toys made after his vehicles including a couple Hot Wheels. He says what Mattel does is make you a one off then produces the toy "very similar" but changes the color or adds something. He says that way Mattel keeps their hands out of the sticky legal stuff. Even if Hot Wheels did that, I would know it is my truck, and whoever reads this thread would know too.
