Just thought I would give everyone a heads up, there is a blue version that will be arriving soon. I found one here in the Sacramento area, but it was from one of the most recent Hot Wheels cases available, so it may not arrive in everyone's area for a few weeks. This being the second year of the casting, it is no longer a "1st edition." It is now part of the "Muscle Mania" series for 2010. Unfortunetely for us Buick purists, that means from here on out, the paint schemes are going to get more and more crazy, and they will start using weird colored glass. The new blue version has a charcoal gray stripe running the length of the car, but it's not quite a GSX stripe. Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to post a picture. I'm sure you can find an example on ebay already. Happy hunting!
I don't follow the smaller scale much but that one is kind of cool. Did they make it in Saturn Yellow ?? (With those wheels)
Yes Todd, the yellow one came out first as a "first edition" the beginning of last year. I'm sure you can find a pic in the post below mine, "look what I got for $1.00" Kevin 70 GS clone
I think the differance with the stripes are because the blue one is a 2010 edition and the red, white and yellow are 2009 first editions. Tim
Yep, Tim is correct, Hot Wheels usually makes the first editions look pretty close to the stock version of the car, and they usually get more wild looking as they use the casting in following years. If you want a real looking GSX, get 'em now while you can still find first editions. Try stores like Walgreens, CVS, and grocery stores where old models sit for a while.
Buddy of mine always giving me a hard time about the hot wheel because\ he has a yellow gsx and hot wheels made a car like his. So to be a smart ass he mail me one for x-mas . So two day before x-mas and a mad wife I took that car he sent and made it into my gs buick . Blew him away mailed the unused parts back also roof, glass and inside parts.
Awesome! And glad to see I'm not the only one, although you did a much better job on the boot than I did... :TU: http://www.members.shaw.ca/timcr/hotwheels
Ive got 3 yellow, 3 white, 3 red, and 3 blue :bglasses: Along with Johnny Lightening GSX's in yellow, white, and police car format :shock:
Had a hard time finding the white ones, but have that one also now. I'm only missing the blue ones, haven't seen those yet. I also have the bigger scale all chrome 70GS I bought that 5-6 years ago. And got the "TWEAKED" GN for my birthday last year.
I went on a vacation about a week ago. I hit some walmarts,kmarts and targets along the way and bought 10 blue ones. I found about 20 more blue ones but I didn't want to spend anymore $$$. So if anyone wants one let me know. Throw mw a pm. I found all kinds of cool hot wheels that I don't see normally by me. Quite a few Buicks. Brian
