Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Black & Gold - TWIN MILL 2/6

Product Information

Cards are in excellent shape and may have minor irregularities from factory packaging - no major damage. To celebrate our 50th anniversary let’s make a set of cars with no history or uniqueness in a very unusual color scheme. As I’ve said so many times before, I understand the constraints Mattel has to work within, but you’d think for this specific instance they could make the sacrifice.

I think they are most certainly “testing the waters” with this plastic junk as a 50th Anniversary model. And if the technical side of things came into the decision (in terms of the paint finish) they CAN do a chrome finish on metal…they did it years ago with the Shelby GR-1 concept car and it looked stunning…I can’t imagine doing the same finish in gold would be a problem.If they were going to go plastic with this model for the mainline, it would be unfortunate, but fine. Being that this model has to be composed of plastic and the ‘Vette actually contains a non-metallic body. Featuring iconic Hot Wheels originals and American Classics from the sixties, each car carries a stunning livery and comes showcased in a beautiful matching package that commemorates Hot Wheels Golden Anniversary.

Oxford Dictionary definition of Diecast: Adjective- (of a metal object) formed by pouring molten metal into a reusable mould.

I also really liked the special 7th model – unofficially a Chase based on the small numbers in cases – an iconic 67 Camaro in gold. I mean, hell, they could have just said “screw the cost differential” JUST this once, just for this occasion! With unique and realistic cars, fantastic decos and the most beautiful tires for the real enthusiast!

If you're a serious Hot Wheels collector, you know the promotional materials can be desirable and difficult to find. HW picked it because they’d have a jihad against them declared by fans of old school Hot Wheels cars if they didn’t. On the 11th of December 2018, Hot Wheels also released the '50 th Anniversary Master Set' which included all the 50 th Anniversary 'collections' in one large case. the manager assured me new inventory was to arrive, but it was just a case or maybe two on the pegs which didn’t last too long.

I was especially impressed with the clean, embossed card art, and found that the six models in the set matched the look. When a metal base and hard, plastic wheels are used with some new castings, they give some original redlines a run for their money on gravity track races.

The only time I can see using a plastic body/metal base is with loop tracks due to the car’s lower COG. Some of the most sought after collector models ever produced, such as the Bone Shaker, the Twin Mill. In my opinion all these look like a pile of shit, I’ll spend a bit more on Johnny Lightnings and Greenlights and get some decent REALISTIC looking cars, and just what is that “rat with wheels” ? PLUS an added BONUS: The original tear-off ad sheet showing the special 50th Anniversary Collections including the Black and Gold Collection! I don’t get it, it’s too small and utterly pathetic in terms of detail, but plenty of collectors go nuts for the ’67 Camaro over and above any other HW.

It would make a statement if it was left hanging on the pegs, but I don’t really see that happening. That’s funny considering how there were WM’s which were behind in keeping up with the dump bins or skipping certain releases entirely. I would pay more if it were metal, but I’ll agree that this cost cutting crap is getting ridiculous.

If they refuse to carry Hot Wheels if they can’t be sold for a dollar Mattel isn’t going to ‘please the fans’ if it means losing over half of their distribution. Plastic above the base has been used as compliments to the diecast metal, such as the plastic camper on the Backwoods Bomb.
