KR AND HOT WHEELS
Posted: Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:54 pm
Have any of you noticed that Hot Wheels hasn't re-released any more 1:64 versions of KITT for 2013? This is strange to me, Because when they did the A-Team Van, the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, and the Back to the Future DeLorean in that size, there was plenty to go around(I found an A-Team van on a peg at a toy store two months ago), Yet, they haven't to my knowledge done that for KITT. Maybe it's due to Knight Rider's Global Popularity, which I think has jumped due to KITT appearing in Commercials for GE.-IT'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING!!!!
And, Maybe the Most Frustrating to Me, WHY WON'T THEY PUT THE HOT WHEELS RETRO IN STORES? It is the one thing I search for every chance I get, and so far I've had Zero Luck. I know that Somebody found a 1:43 scale of KITT(which looks cool, by the way) at a Toys-R-Us Overseas when he was on a buisness trip. I just have one question for Mattel and Stores in the U.S.-WHY IN GOD'S NAME WON'T YOU PUT IT IN TOYS-R-US HERE? With Brick and Mortar stores losing Money and Customers to Online Stores and Comic Book and Collectable Shops, You would think these stores would jump at the chance to put items in their stores from Something that has such a Devoted fan base as Knight Rider(i've been one for almost 31 years, and I'm Proud to be One). I hope they do it soon.
These observations were things I needed to get off my chest, and I hope I'm not the only fan that feels this way.
