Everything Increases for the New $30 Hot Wheels Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Everything Increases for the New  Hot Wheels Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Earlier today, my wife told me to make a list of things I wanted to get for Christmas. He said he would decide which one to get, so it would still be a surprise when I got it. This way he will undoubtedly choose something I like.

The first item I select is a porsche 911 Turbo from Solido. As much as I love Hot Wheels products, I would love to add more 1/18 scale cars to my collection. I only have one so far (Porsche 962C) and I realize they require more space but I can’t do anything about it. Some might say that the Hot Wheels Red Line Club exclusives are much better produced, but they are also much smaller, that’s about it.

I know they are a little cheaper at first glance, they are the most easily accessible. MattelShop for $30 or less. But if you add in the shipping costs and the stress of trying to beat thousands of other collectors or scalpers, you have to sit down and think about it. If you’ve purchased the Overdrive membership it will save a lot of hassle and I’m not trying to convince you to stay away from RLC stuff.

If I could spend $5,000 I’d probably dive deeper into this collection, but I know that budget would be enough for a new turbo upgrade to my vehicle. Mazda RX-7. All that aside, the El Segundo-based casting manufacturer is trying to tempt us again this week with another low rider! I try my best to look away and act like I don’t want this in my life, but I can’t ignore it.

One of the coolest so far RLC exclusive The collectibles we’ve been seeing all year long. This is Brendon Vetuskey’s design and was introduced in last year’s RLC series with Spectraflame Antifreeze coating and the same Real Riders Lace wheels. While the interior of the First Edition was green, designers chose white for the upcoming model.

The articulated suspension is the highlight of this product and I also like that they went into the little details like the license plate. Last year it said “WSTSIDE” and now it’s “JEFE”. All of this makes me want to go back to listening to Mexican rap, which I enjoyed so much in high school. The four woofers in the trunk are also a nice touch, and I can imagine you could liven up the party using this car and a 1986 Nissan 720 King Cab.

Did I mention someone wanted over $1,000 for the First Edition version on eBay? It’s crazy to see that you can get this plus a ’64 Impala (2020 model) for $300 or less. You can try to buy the new version of Monte Carlo directly from: Mattel’s price is $30Or you can return to the open market, where it has already reached a high point of $110. It’s your decision.
