Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
You should see my Johnny Lightning collection...unfortunately, JL never had but the one mold, the '82-'84 Z28, and they kept re-issuing it with different paint schemes and packaging thru the years...Kinda bugs me, since they have at least 2 different 1st, 2nd, and 4th gen Camaro molds. We 3rd Gen guys always get shafted!
I have all the JL Camaro sets, ALL the 82-92 JL's, and ALL the '67's !!!
You don't happen to have the green card pace car white lightning do you ? It's the only white lightning I have left in the 82-92's ... And I'm having a hell of a time finding one
As for the hot wheels (2) reds (2) blacks and (2) KITTS for me one to open, one to leave packaged !

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
Are the red IROC's produced or shipped anymore? All I see are black ones at a couple different stores.

Nope, never found a White Lightning. I do have a bunch of Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts and Super Treasure Hunts, but no 3rd Gens in them.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
Same here. ??
Haven't seen any of the HOTWHEELS windshield banner cars either.
I just wanted to thank Hotwheels for putting out the 85 IROC anyways. Would like to find some more reds though.
I hope someday they'll bring out the '88.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
The reds are most likely done until a new variation comes out like racing stripes or something,
They may change the year, all it would take is information change on the packaging as the look would be identical, who knows, personally I would like to see a stock RS(89' preferably) or a door slammer variation of the Thirdgen.

Yes a stock RS or door slammer variation would be nice also.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
No more red IROCs will be "made". You just need to shop places that sell older merchendise. Its very rare, but I did find 2 reds at the dollar store. Hell, I still se some of them putting out 2011 models. There is no telling how many more will be on the pegs till they are gone. I will still buy all I find of the red, black, and KITT cars I find. So addictive.

I came across eight black windshield banner cars today.
1- $6.00 shipped
2- $7.00 shipped
3- $10.00 shipped
im not looking to profit, but shipping is expensive.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
Found some red IROCS at a truck stop back late May.Red was the first release (E case) and RARE !!!.I still see many of the black version's hanging at Target.
As it was mentioned ONLY chance for red IROCS at your local store is old inventory that could be "pushed" later in the future.H*ll one of my local super markets put out a display of 2010 basic hot wheels a few weeks ago !!! That was a REAL shocker !!
Just to through out,I would trade some red irocs for any KITT

1- It would require marketing/ design to want another year variant of a near identical car in their line. Because it's so close they'd likely need a good business case to justify it.
2- It would take a license amendment between Hot Wheels and GM to make another year car.
3- It would require a tooling revision to the chassis to change the legal lines.
4- It would require a tooling revision to the body (or window) to reflect the revised year IROC variant, or new tool altogether if changes are significant.
5- Lastly, it would require packaging art as mentioned previously.
That's a lot of work/ effort/ cost to get another year IROC variant. It's really not worth it, especially when there are other generations/ styles of Camaros not made yet. They have a much stronger business case for being selected before another year IROC.
When I developed this car I picked the '85 model year to represent because it was the first year IROC, and it lacks a third taillight.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
For the more "diehard" Hot Wheels collectors.... Not sure if you've seen this but HW is offering the IROC in a spectraflame edition:
http://www.hotwheelscollectors.com/L...k-RLC&sid=3609
Note: the link may not work if you're not a HWC member. You can join for free, though.
Also- it looks like it'll be out in the 2013 "Retro Entertainment" line as mentioned here:
http://t-hunted.blogspot.com/
(it is listed in lot C)
This is different that the RLC version. The RLC (Red Line Club) is a more premium version.

Re: Finally IROC Hot Wheels 2012 -Red
The non-banner black IROCs are at Wal-Mart here as well, mixed in with other lots. Still come across the red IROC as well at area HEB grocery stores. I'm up to about 15 mixed black IROCs, 15 red, plus 2 or 3 KITTs, a couple of A-Team vans, and a Dark Knight Rises "The Bat". Also found in the cars of the decades series a light blue and multicolor striped 82-84 Z28, and a yellow with black and orange hood bird decal 82-84 Firebird T-Top. Both are painted in 80's street machine style.
