Re: Hot Wheels News Flash!!!

Yeah,I like the Custom 69 better. It's funny,as picky as I am about details,I don't care for the Hot Wheels that are obviously targeted at the adult collector and are ,maybe,too detailed...too accurate? I like the roll pan/custom grille rather than the "accurate bumpers and grille". They are $1 toys and I can accept them being off. It think these are too focussed on fitting the frame layin' baghead trend with the wheels "tucked". I like the full round wheels that fill out the width of the body on the Custom 69. These will grow on me and I'll be trying to get every version and doing my own customs.
