In these bigger scale replicas they have to get it right. Doesn't bother me on a 1/64 as much when things are off. It doesn't bother me as much when it's a whole lot less money, too. The Hiway 61 stuff was never this much. That's Danbury Mint prices for Hot Wheels quality. These will get bought up and sold on Ebay for even more

If you going from the posted pics on here I see your point. However if that is the way they are going to look when finished I agree they will die with them. I have several HiWay 61 67-72's and they do not look like the pictures.
