Embrace the Dark Side With the RLC Exclusive Custom ’72 Datsun 240Z

By Mattel Creations Staff

Hot Wheels has a storied history with the 240Z. For this RLC exclusive, we embraced our dark side and created a sleek Brock Racing Enterprises (BRE) custom ’72 Datsun 240Z. This new take on a true Hot Wheels classic is sure to bring fans into the darkness.

“We’ve had Datsun Zs in Hot Wheels for decades,” said Designer Steven Vandervate. “Our relationship with BRE started in 2011 with a Premium Datsun 510 and has since been used several times, on at least four different Datsun/Nissan castings.”

Featuring an opening engine hood and fender flares, this die-cast is anything but stock. The Spectraflame Shadowchrome and matte black paint scheme gives it a shadowy profile, while the BRE livery, double-zero racking numbers, and classic logos confirm this racer’s winning pedigree.

“The 00, along with the chrome and matte black colorway, communicates that this is a contemporary reimagining of the familiar nostalgic brand and livery,” said Vandervate. “The XOXO plate is a kiss goodbye to the competition, as well as a reference to the door numbers.”

Some of last years drops were questionable - yes I'm looking at the Sean Wotherspoon thing...
But so far, this year has been great! 

Who ever did the design on this needs a raise, unquestionably stand out, and beautiful - would be a cherry if it was limited too

How do we find out production numbers on this and future cars? They used to be listed in the cars description on the site. Just curious, thanks. 

If the production numbers are available, they include them with the article

If I want one of these I’ll just buy it off eBay, I’m not gonna bother with an RLC membership if people can’t even get cars because of a bunch of bots. What’s the point in paying for a subscription if I won’t even be able to get anything?

The bots won't be an issue for this sale.  They are only a problem with specific offerings only such as the pink skyline.

You should be able to get one of these without an issue.

Never had an issue getting an RLC till this past one with the skyline. Hope everything got figured out and the bugs in the checkout are fixed. Would be disappointed if I got sent back to an empty cart again after only waiting from noon to 12:03 in line the pay. Then over and over again after.

SO A LOT OF US HAD THE ISSUE WITH LAST WEEKS SALE! WHEN WILL MATTEL DO SOMETHING FOR THOSE OF US THAT WERE STRAIGHT UP SCREWED OUT OF THAT CAR? I MEAN HONESTLY, I TRULY HAVE LOST COUNT AS TO HOW MANY CARS I HAVE NOT GOT DUE TO BUGS OR WHATEVER  ISSUES WITH THE WEB SITE. I MEAN, ITS Mattel! ONE WOULD THINK THAT A COMPANY LIKE THEM COULD AFFORD THE PROPER PEOPLE/COMPANY THAT COULD PRODUCE A  QUALITY WEB SITE WHERE THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY ISSUES???????
