It’s ever more sad hearing these retailers excuses that they are never perfect mean while your freaking out looking at a receipt for $100 to $300 after tax & shipping It’s sad seeing these stores selling this stuff for $150 to $200 knowing the poor customers are over paying big time for models that I guarantee will be damaged and flawed. Never again, the market will never forget the garbage Mattel & many other brands have made in these last 10 years. I hope Mattel gives up the Ghostbusters & other franchise licenses to Autoart or at the worst at least Greenlight. They should have recalled 90% of there models for poor quality control.

Hot Wheels Elite are officially gone, just go to the Hot Wheels Elite Page it just redirects you to there Mattel site. Mattel screwed a lot of people who arn’t getting their money back on these things, screw them, Maybe they will come back with a new line with hopefully at least the Ghostbusters ecto-1’s and BTTF Delorean in much better quality and more accurate I’ve also received many a HW Elite BTTF Delorean’s in poor shape. if your going to buy hot wheels elite buy two to better your odds of getting a quality one, & make sure the store your buying from has a good return policy. my ecto-1A is perfect though, it’s a shame, diecast model’s in general from any brand seem to be hit or miss quality, I’m tired of wasting money then getting screwed up models only to find out I can’t get a refund, it’s my fault for searching for deals, they always come factory sealed yet screwed up, especially hot wheels elite. Mattel Really f-ed up with these, I’m done buying hot wheels elite, I sold one because of the logo only to find they all have that issue but the earlier ecto-1 elite without figures had little to no issues (minus the no chin). I just heard the other day from yet another distributor that Mattel has stopped production of the present line due to poor quality control and lack of sales.Īny one else notice that almost every 30th anniversary Ecto-1 elite has a crooked left side door gb logo and the back door’s logo is also off to right too far? I’ve search google images 100 times by now and they are all crooked in every picture out there.
