Oh, I have that one. I thought we were talking about the 1:18 scale model.

I have a sneaky feeling they would use the same sounds from the SDCC car into the 1:18 super elite car
we shall see I guess

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!
Most likely around the same time as the 1/18.... My local dealer will be bringing the models in February.. I've already pre-ordered the 1/18KITTfan wrote:Any news about the 1/43 KITT?

Knowing Mattel, don't expect the 1:43 model until about the third quarter of 2013.

Knight Rider KITT Hot Wheels Elite 1:43 Scale Vehicle - $65.99 - Coming in February 2013

Those dates are most likely to change. These are the same guys that predicted the 1:18 KITT would be ready by November 2012, so do bear in mind its just their estimate. I would have to agree with PBH though, it's Mattle... and wow are they getting a lot of my money next year lol!

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!
The price for that 1/43 KITT with voicebox looks ridiculous... US$340.99 for a 1/43 scale car??? You've got to be kidding... It cost a lot more than the bigger 1/18 KITT?msKEN wrote:Knight Rider KITT Hot Wheels Elite 1:43 Scale Vehicle - $65.99 - Coming in February 2013

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!
Yeah the voicebox gimmick needs to be something pretty amazing for me to part with $341. That's actually why I highlighted it in red, like WTH?

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!
Thanks for the information
Oh man, $340 for 1/43 sounds quite a lot, would be a lot for 1/18 model too. I'll be happy to get the regular version of 1/43 KITT and KARR. If I win the lotto, then I'll buy the voicebox version

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!
For the record, I've never seen a 1/43 model go for that price unless it was really a rare limited item. Its probably an error by Hot Wheels... Cause that price is just ridiculous, period.

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!
EE apparently had a typo (I simply copied and pasted here) because today it reads 1:18 rather then 1:43.

For $340 I'd want a proper sized voice box.

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!
Hahaha.. If it is indeed 1/18 scale, diecast metal and with talking features in addition to the red LED scanner, I still think its a bit too much to pay... Abt $200 more for a talking feature? Hmmm.. Unless it comes with a 1/1 scale voicebox or a tiny 1/18 scale voicebox in the dashboard that actually animates the voice modulator, I think thats too much to pay...Skav wrote:For $340 I'd want a proper sized voice box.

Well, 1/8/2013 and it still isn't available yet. I wonder what the big delay is.

Re: Sneak Peek of New Hot Wheels 1/18 KITT!!
Hot Wheels Elite sent us over a dozen images of both the 1:18 and the 1:43 model, including the packaging - check them out:
http://knightrideronline.com/news/2013/ ... nd_143.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
They say this is of the final model, so what you see is what we will get. They also confirm that both models will be available in the beginning of February.
