Be honest, how many of us would like to see them roll down a track. 16 is a mini tournament.

A flex for the ages, outside of the thousands of dollars' worth in cars I've seen one show consistently run — Chris_Hood
Whatever happened to GNR Vintage Diecast Racing? I tell ya so many shows and builders just POOF one day and then I get "too afraid to ask" — Chris_Hood

$35 a car. I'd pay that for a couple of them but I don't need 16 of them.

Mattel certainly knows how to keep it's customer base salivating. I like the Corvette and the Beetle is adorable although probably useless on the track. The packaging and presentation is basically what you're paying for here and it is, admitedly, impressive. Just not $550 worth.

I managed to get one of these. I am considering Jousting them. Or selling on eBay for twice as much as I paid. I've got a month to decide before my credit card payment is due so...

Strike while the iron is hot. Do the eBay thing. — alva1370
If you joust them I'll have to figure out whether to laugh or cry — ManiacMotorsports
Both! — JunkyardJoust
