Heritage Series

Taking over from past lines like Boulevard and Garage, this years "adult collectable" Hot Wheels series dubbed Heritage has finally been released in New Zealand. This line featuring a mix of realistic vehicles and Hot Wheels own creations will receive two assortments alternating between Real Rider (rubber) tyres and Red Line (plastic) tyres.

As seems to be the case with all releases of Hot Wheels in New Zealand, the first wave of Heritage was released at the end of the school holidays and showed up first at a local book store (of all places), and then later at Toyworld (at least in my local area)

With the local price well in excess of three times the USA retail price, I quickly decided not to get a couple of cars that I was on the fence about purchasing and decided to only get the two I really wanted - being the two Datsuns.

Now to see if New Zealand will get Wave 2 ... based on past experience, I think not!
