Movie Cars

FINALLY managed to get hold of a hot wheels batmobile! i'm just starting my collection of die cast movie cars and will hopefully be adding more to my collection (told the missus they were for my son when he gets older! lol)

i ended up paying £51 on ebay! lol worth it though as i have been after one for a long long time. i think it was that expensive because it was brand new boxed, i have seen a couple of unboxed ones go for around £20

Re: Movie Cars

Very nice, you have got to love KITT one day I think I will start collecting Movie car/vehicle reps and add them to my 1/18 and 1/24 car collection.

Unfortunately for me and my credit card I discovered Sideshow by accident and cant seem to leave it alone....

Re: Movie Cars

i haven't got it anymore due to being made redundant but the last time i saw it the new owner has given it a black paint job with the KR nose with scanner and wheels with the bowling ball hubcaps, something i could never afford to do.

Re: Movie Cars

Won a sun star BTTF II delorean on ebay.

Can't wait to have it
For me my fav ever car in a film/TV series. I know the real thing was not good but I just love the look of it.
Anyone watch Chuck? there was one in the show not so long ago and they said the one used in the movie had a porsche engine installed, anyone know if that is true?
