Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
Ill be looking for the black iroc now for sure! gotta get one to match my car
Also i went to a local wal-mart the other day and found a kitt. However, on the car it has a piece of metal which prevents the passenger side rear wheel from spinning on its own. its a defect. Rare find? Its kinda hard to see in the pics. Its in the front of the wheel.

In English- after a diecast body is molded, it'll have "flash" and other areas of imperfections on it. this is small amounts of material that leak past the parting lines of the tools, or could be where the material was inserted in (gates). The diecast parts are usually placed in a "tumbler" -big bins that vibrate with abrasive bits (stones, I think) inside. these sand the edges and remove the flash, sharp edges, etc. From that, they go on to painting, deco, assembly, etc. It should have been caught and thrown back in the tumbler, but, sometimes it doesn't and makes it way out the door.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
Dave,
Yeah, I know I should have gotten them all, but about the time I saw the first two KITTS, I found a Treasure Hunt and bring a brand new bin, I knew there would be others so I went into TH search mode. By the time I found all the Hunts, I didn't think about grabbing more KITTS because by then I was late getting to the office! Hindsight is always 20/20.
I did go back the next day and all the KITTS were gone, but I did find a Maverick Grabber secret Treasure Hunt with Real Ryder tires I missed the day before.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
I Think He means production is done, when the store recieved or stocked them may still happen
The the target near me just now put out their first box of 2012's and only had 1 red Iroc on the shelf
I'm sure we will still find the reds here and there, I just can't wait to find a black or KITT

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
Look what I found!! Definitely 3rd gen inspired. I had to do a bit of horse trading (literally). Its going to fit nicely into my 3rd gen model collection.
Its a M.A.S.K. toy if anyone is curious.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
For the collector who must have EVERY version, I present the "Checkout, Space Saver" packaging (or, whatever you want to call it). Same car, different packaging. Good luck finding it, I've been looking for months, this is the only one I have scored. Found it by the checkout, with the "impulse buy" items.

I think that's called the European short card. My Delorian and Back to the Future cars are on them too.

Ya it's called the 'Short card" version mostly Wal-Mart/Toys R Us has them.
I agree those short cards are HTF for the Camaro.But I did find the BTTF Delorean on the short card at Wal mart.Hopefully I can find KITT on a short card.LoL

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
I have been looking for one for months. Today, I saw the '73 Camaro in short-card packaging, in both red and green. So I knew the IROC must be out there...somewhere. I stopped at like 7 stores, and finally found one. I'm gonna look again tomorrow. I really want a black IROC in short card packaging. In other news, I am yet to find the KITT T/A. My wife thinks I have gone off the deep end.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
No luck finding any of the black irocs up here yet or the short cards of any of the versions. I have run into a few hardcore collectors though. I saw one guy buy what looked like 3 unopened boxes of all the hotwheels before they go on the shelves. The store manager was handing them over to him. Then there was 2 seniors husband and wife team going with their binder full of spreadsheets on what they had and what they needed. I think I was lucky to find the red ones when i did.
