An investigation of how an $8.00 Hot Wheels limited edition toy car became the cheapest Hot Wheels car I have ever purchased. I explain the toy prices of Hot Wheels against Thomas & Friends Take N Play trains and Disney Pixar Cars2 die-cast toy cars. At the time of making this video standard Hot Wheels cars in Australia can be between $2.30 to $3.00, but how come was the Shane Warne Spin King 23 car selling for $8.00 at Toys R Us. A look at e-bay's prices of this car will open your eyes, the price variation is massive and some sellers try to spin a story of how special this Hot Wheels car is. My son possible sums up the car as only a 4 year old can, this amazing expensive limited edition car is "missing something". And I totally agree with him on that observation. Fan Prize goes to ToyTimeTV, here is the prize. Angry Birds & Moshi Monster Character Mallows, Angry Birds Pez Collection, Tim Tams Chocolicious Bites, Thomas & Friends Chocolates, Thomas & Friends Surprise Eggs, Kinder Surprise Eggs, The Trash Pack Surprise Eggs, Peppa Pig Surprise Eggs, Go Diego Surprise Eggs, Barbie Surprise Eggs, Hello Kitty Surprise Eggs, Angry Bird Surprise Eggs, Avengers Surprise Eggs, Monsters University Surprise Eggs, Disney Planes Surprise Eggs, Disney Cars2 Surprise Eggs, Toy Story 3 Surprise Eggs and Dinosaur Chocolates. Hot Wheels is a brand of 1:64 scale die-cast toy car introduced by American toy maker Mattel in 1968. It is one of the most famous toy car makers out there today. It was the primary competitor of Matchbox until 1997 when Mattel bought Tyco Toys, then-owner of Matchbox. Many automobile manufacturers have licensed Hot Wheels to make scale models of their cars, allowing the use of original design blueprints. Although Hot Wheels were originally intended for children, they have become popular with adult collectors, for whom limited edition models are now made available. $1.00 is the amount that Mattel has kept the basic Hot Wheels vehicles' price (in the USA) from breaking since being introduced in 1968. A pretty amazing feat, what with constant inflation and everything factored into it. The Hot Wheels Shane Warne Spin King features a huge rear spoiler and a triangular flaming exhaust, finished in electric blue paint and rolling on black wheels. The car also features Warne's lucky cricket and footy shirt number 23 on both the side of the rear spoiler and on the engine cover. Mattel Hot Wheels says the model is on sale for $7.99 in a 'limited edition of less than 100,000', which sounds like a lot until you realise they sell 6 million cars per year. Warne joins an eminent list of model car designers for Hot Wheels, including NASCAR star Danic Patrick and F1 driver Felipe Massa. The cricketing legend says he was inspired to join the design team by his own passion for cars and for collecting models as a kid. He worked with the Hot Wheels team to design the car, but was given creative control over the project, and allowed to add his own touches. "I've always had a passion for cars," Warne said. "I used to play with Hot Wheels™ cars as a kid, so when they offered me the chance to design my own, I jumped at it." "I loved every minute of the design process and working with the team at Hot Wheels™ was great fun. The 'Spin King' is a fusion between all of my favourite fast cars and it's been great seeing my vision come to life."
