Deacono Posted February 20 Posted February 20 Just got mine. When you open the box the wrapping paper is a little over the top 😆 but its nicely done. The paint is pretty cool. Its like a pearlescent version of the Gulf color. Wheels aren't my favorite and probably the biggest let down for me. Get us metal bases please! Otherwise I like it 👍 4 Quote

Great tampo detail. QUESTION FOR EVERYONE: Have I missed that Mattel has a Lesney trademarked on the bottom of the box – see photos? I don’t remember seeing this another models. I've purchased nearly every MBX release to date (at least the most desirable ones) and the only one I've seen without it has been the Tesla with the upcycled packaging material. 1st MBX release (VW drag Beetle) Tesla Edited February 22 by Volcanic_xB 2 Quote

OZPETE Posted February 29 Posted February 29 Mine arrived today, in Australia, very disappointed. $5 car in a $5 box. I'm embarrassed to add it to the rest of my Gulf collection, to be honest. You live and learn, and I learnt today that I wasted my money on this. 4 Quote

With all due respect to you, this one legitimately showed extremely poorly even in the 'professional pictures'. I feel it sold out only due to the 'Gulf' livery which didn't look that great. Matchbox mainlines generally have good details vs. HW so this casting definitely needs to be retooled to add side mirrors. Quote
CoastDiecast Posted November 21 Posted November 21 I ordered 1 in that limited time offer to get sold out cars in October this year & it has nearly been a month since I ordered it & it still says "processing" & I have tried to contact CS about updates if it has shipped or not but they never reply to any messages & I can't call CS because I live internationally.
