can you tell me, can the model sit back in the box again and be put away once you have assembled the t-tops?

Yes, it can. It's packed like that to survive transit. For the price paid, nobody wants to receive damaged goods.

Great, thanks.

While this seller dosen't have the exact plate, you might want to drop them a message through ebay and see if they can get it for you http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Knight-Rider-Metal-Stamped-KITT-KNIGHT-License-Plate-/330865966719?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d0925fe7f" onclick="window...

Re: 1:43 KITT

the 1:43 model is nice too,

got mine recently, still waiting patiently for my 1:18 version to arrive as well.

I'm glad they fixed the problem with the scanner from the 1:64 version as well, it looks much more accurate

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!

Not to get nitpicky, but shouldn't there only be 2 foglights on either side? I know people sometimes put 3 on their full size replicas (for some bizarre reason), but I only remember 2 in the actual show. . 3 foglights on each side, this is a screen shot from S01E10 Inside Out Remember this model is...

But what I am really afraid of is that by producing only 1.000 pcs, I can hardly get one here in Germany!?

Re: New Hot Wheels KARR

when you are buying these, you might just want to have a look at the rear to check the license plate,

see this KITT with KARR's license plate


(on a second thought, some people might actually like this, as the first time we saw KARR he was identical to KITT, in TRUST DOSEN'T RUST)

.......it begs the obvious question, why can't HW just sell this now? Why do we have to wait till 2014?

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!

I picked up the 1:43 scale model today as my toy shop hasn't got the 1:18 yet I'm personally very pleased with it, I see the HotWheels people have changed from just sitting the model in a styrofoam box to a clear plastic display box. They have corrected the issues with the scanner not visible on the...

What sort of computer is in KITT?

In season one, in different episodes Michael plays video games on KITT's in dash TV screens, do we know what make or model of computer is used in the dashboard to run the video games?

Re: Got my Hotwheels Elite KITT!

I didn't realise this "standard" elite version had the light up scanner

I thought that was coming on the super elite

oh well

that's really great

just be careful playing with, these things easily break!

I'm not complaining, its more just an observation and thoughts I've had going on in my head over the last few weeks, wanted to get them out of my head and see what others thought as well.

Was watching this episode tonight and noticed this bright ornage Dodge Charger, it reminded me of the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard

Do you think that it is just a coincidence or maybe a left over car from the Dukes?

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!

Personally, I'm not fussed about the sounds and lights. It will be annoying though if the Super Elite and KARR have corrected tyres - I'm not paying £350 for the Super Elite, but would like to have one with better tyres. Might be an idea for Hot Wheels to send out replacement tyres to those who buy...

Re: New Hot Wheels KARR

I asked over on the hot wheels website and it seems the KARR is supposed to have the correct license plate and scanner
so you have a dud there unfortunately

what some would call a factory error
