....I just had another thought,


Maybe they are factory seconds and get rejected from the production line?

Maybe factory seconds are supposed to be thrown out or destroyed and the workers take them home?

who knows!

I suspect so, There seems to be a bit of a trend lately with HotWheels stuff turning up on ebay a few weeks or a month before it is actually out in the stores, the items always seem to be from Hong Kong or Malaysia (where HotWheels are made) I guess the workers get paid rather poorly so they help th...

have you tried eBay?

Well they can't be that far away as they are starting to hit ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-18-Hotwheels-Elite-KNIGHT-RIDER-KITT-Knight-Industries-Two-Thousand-X5469-/181068154214?pt=Action_Figures_Diecast_US&hash=item2a2880c566" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http:/...

woah

that's rather disappointing about the license plate


but

maybe some will have KARR on the license plate, it might be an error, just maybe

Maybe others can check theirs when they get them to see what the license plate says


But with the scanner being red we probably shouldn't hold our breath

I was watching Forget Me Not, tonight and noticed this, on one side the panel is broken,

they appear to be using a few different cars as KITT, some have the cover over the lights and some it is blocked off.

I'm not a KITT expert but I think the model is based off the season 1 car

see these pics I snapped from season 1, you can see the covers in front of fog lights

ah cheers, thanks.

Has anyone found the KARR version yet in the shops?

There has been a few on ebay, listed from Malaysia, which I assume have just walked out of the factory and being sold that way.


I have found two KITT's but no KARR yet.

see this is where he is actually putting the fuel in

This is interesting, I think

you can see there is the gas cap door on the left side of the car, just behind the rear wheel, yet Michael puts the fuel in through under the rear number plate/license plate

I never noticed this before, but watching "No Big Thing" tonight and KITT's fuel gauage reads to 100 gallons

that's a lot of gas to carry.

I was just thinking about something Bad guys are always trying to steal KITT, Michael is always giving rides to people in KITT, kids in the show think KITT is awesome, but no one ever comments on the scanner, do they? I don't ever recall anyone asking....... what that is, what it does, what purpose ...

Do you know the story on that?

is it a screen used prop? officially licensed product? fan made?

Where did you get that from?

Just been watching Slammin' Sammy's Stunt Show Spectacular and at the beginning of the episode Michael is seen reading this book as KITT drives along What do you think this book might be? My theory would be that is some sort of operating manual for KITT, but it seems rather thin to be covering all o...

You really have a nice collection there, thanks for sharing with us.

Love the KR Lunch Box and the model cars and the license plate and..


what is your favorite piece in your collection?

Well he was always on the road, so most of the time he would be living out of hotels and motels.

I'm sure he did have living quarters of sorts at the foundation and probably an apartment somewhere

Maybe the fishing retreat we see in Knight Rider 2000 is his home away from FLAG

Will the HotWheels Elite people send you a review model for the website?

It would be a nice plug for them and for the model

The packaging is exactly as I'd expect it would be.. Keeping in line with the rest of the Elite models they have done. yes the black box keeps in theme with the other Hot Wheels Elite models, however.. This is the first one they have put a star from the show on the box The A-Team van doesn't have t...

Thanks for the pictures, very nice.


I guess everyone though needs to be mindful .....

that as previously mentioned there is going to be more expensive and detailed versions released,

so up to you if you buy this one now or hold off for the ultimate versions.

Thought you guys might want to have a look at this, a good comparison between different HotWheels and a Matchbox KITT

haven't got mine yet, it is still in the post, but from this youtube video it appears to be set down too low, same location as the mainline version

These are now all over ebay with the KARR version as well.


check your local toy shops and department stores.

There was a couple of times in the show wasn't there where a parking attendant would try and give KITT a ticket but he would move forwards or backwards......



I thought this thread was going to be about that
