Shelby Cobra GT500 Super Snake

7 colour variations

One of my first castings

Shelby GT500 Super Snake

  This sports cars is one of the first castings I bought, one of the first ones in my collection and it is also one of my favorites. It was first time introduced in 2011 (the year I also started collecting) in the "New Models" serie and it is based on the real life model car. There have been seven releases so far in different colour variations, besides these two that I am showing there have been also blue, aqua blue, black, green and white. The variation you see now are from the New Models serie from 2011, both with a black plastic base, the yellow one has PR5 rims, while the red version has 10SP.

The only special serie this model has been part of was the Super Treasure Hunt serie from 2013 in green and gold rims with rubber tires. I want to get all the colour variations for my collection, but I missed a few so far and it is going to be very hard.

Hot Wheels Finds - First Time Special Series

 

   Hi everyone. In this post i want to show you my latest Hot Wheels finds, with a huge surprise for me, a very pleasant one. As you probably know from my previous posts or from my videos on my youtube channel in my country we only get the normal single cars, 1:64 scale also known as mainlines, we don't get the adult collectibles, the special series, not to mention we never get exclusives or mail in promotions for the single cars. Looks like this year for Christmas holiday someone thought of us and brought here to one store only the Pop Culture special serie the Muppets and a mix from the Retro Entertainment.

Retro Entertainment

I didn't bought any of the Retro cars but i took two of the Muppets ones, Baja Breaker and Dairy Delivery. They had the whole set on the pegs, but they were priced at around 6$ and for that price i'm very sure that they are going to stay on the pegs a long time and i'm going to have time to get the whole set. I was very surprised to see them and maybe this is also a sign that in the future we are going to get more of these special series/adult collectibles. Love the Muppets set and the graphics/artwork on the cars and cards. I will just hope that this will not be only because of the holidays and that they will start to bring this more and more the whole 2014 year.

Happy New Year

Hope you had fun reading this small post, i wish all my readers and all the Hot Wheels collectors a HAPPY NEW YEAR filled with joy and happiness and i hope all your wishes will come true. Let's all hope the 2014 year is going to be better for all of us in our collecting and personal life. Leave a comment and tell me what did you find on the pegs this Christmas. Have a great day.
