Gen 1 Subaru brat hot wheel


Recommended Posts

I have been looking over here in Japan.. I keep finding the hot ones set but no Subes... The hobby shops around do have some Outback models but they are $50+ for most of them. Did pick up a remote control WRX but it broke the first day of use :(

Mattel have dropped the Hot Ones line (replaced with the Flying Customs, which is a throwback to the late 70s HW line instead of the early/mid 80s), the last run of the series was supposedly short so these BRAT's are likely to remain pretty HTF as they vanish into collections.

 

No news yet on whether the casting will pop up in the mainline this year (the green is from the Boulevard series, which is a bit more premium (rubber wheels)).

 

In non-HW, just saw this Zee toys one on eBay :  http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZEE-PURPLE-SUBARU-BRAT-4X4-PICK-UP-TRUCK-FRICTION-TOY-CAR-/281053144765?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item417012a6bd

Got the green on from eBay. $6.69 total shipped to my door.

 

Yup, tons of them on there but none less than $8 or so....  Looks like I will cave in again.  Damn you Subaru and Hotwheels.

Should have taken a picture of the green one but it is pretty cool with the rubber tires.

 

Could have bought a new shifter for the Brat for the money spent on these Hot Wheels.  Oh well, love me some small Subies.

That always sounds sooo ominous to me. Haven't had the courage to open mine. May have get another set to play with.
