This month, we are blessed (or cursed, if you are a lotusphile collector) with another version of the Lotus Sport Elise (is there really such a thing, I think this model is actually an Exige?) for 2010. This time around, Hot Wheels has released this particular paint variant in their "Mystery" packaging. This year, Hot Wheels decided (wisely) to put a small hole in the back of the cards to give you an idea of the car inside.
(For those of you who have collected the Mystery cars through the years, you would normally find these packages ripped open on the shelves, as collectors would want to know what they were buying.) In this case, you can make out the "Lotus Sport" decal through the peephole in the card. The car itself sports a yellow paint scheme with black and green accents !
Again, just look through the peephole on the back of the car... and score yourself a Lotus!
Next up, you will have to search a bit farther than your local toystore for this little goodie:
If you recall through the years, I have talked about the 1/43 line of cars from the UK that are part of the James Bond Car Collection. These nifty cars come with a nice diorama, and a magazine to boot! This particular one is #68 in the series (I think they are up to over 100 at this point), and was scored through Ebay's british counterpart, Ebay.co.uk. They are getting rather scarce to find, so if this is one you would like to add to your collection, I would highly recommend getting one soon. Nice detail for the money, as well.
Happy Hunting!
