Hot Wheels recently released another set of cars exclusive to Walmart. The cars cost about twice what a mainline offering goes for, and retail around $2. The card art is nicer, and the graphics are a little nicer, too. The wheels are just regular offerings. There are 10 cars in this set, and all look good. 9 of the 10 are licensed models, which is great. I am partial to convertibles, and while the tampos aren't very realistic, but I like the overall looks. This is 1 of 10.
Modeling in (mostly) 1/72nd scale (and any other subject that catches my attention - author suffers from acute "shiny item" syndrome)

Hot Wheels 1977 Pontiac Firebird (DHR08) - 2016 Mainline (93 of 250)
Here is Hot Wheels '77 Pontiac Firebird (DHR08), the first time this casting has seen an appearance in the Mainline series. A Firebird with flames seems appropriate, but again, would have looked better without. I get that these are kids toys, so if that's whats popular, who am I to complain. The model captures the iconic look of the car, made popular by Smokey and the Bandit. Are T-tops still a thing, by the way?
