That was my comment
If you go by what Hot Wheels has done in the past for SDCC Exclusives then this will most definitely be a 1/64 scale model. For those thinking the box is too big, well the DMC Delorean came in a plutonium box that was much bigger then this one "appears" to be (but lets be honest I have no clue how big or small it is, just taking a guess!). Though this looks to be about the same size as the Ghostbusters Ecto 1 SDCC Exclusive. Those arguing "but it has sounds and lights", keep in mind these cars are typically hand painted (hence their exclusiveness) and screwed down in an acrylic display, the cars aren't meant to be removed and played with. The working scanner and sound effects/talking features could very well be built into the acrylic case.
Of course I could be 100% wrong, and they could pull a 1:43 out on us and that would surprise the heck out of me. But no prior photo leaks? No toy collector sites reporting on a 1:43, No information from Hot Wheels on a 1:43 other then its coming, Hot Wheels hasn't been showing it off at Con's like the 1:18 either, but they are just going to give an exclusive version of it away at comic con.... for $40... when the Elite 1:43 Ecto retail was $49.99, and you are telling me with electronics this one is going to be cheaper? Highly unlikely guys, but I'll cross my fingers for you!
Also want to note this car is priced only a few more dollars then the Ecto 1, and the Delorean exclusives. Seems like just enough to cover the extra cost of the electronic components that the other exclusives didn't have. I definitely don't have the first clue when it comes to toys other then to purchase them lol, and I know we have people here with connections to Hot Wheels, so they would definitely be better to answer this then me for sure! Just my two cents.
EDIT, Also wanted to mention that a lot of people (including myself) think a working light could not be fit to a 1/64 scale car, BUT Hot Wheels is releasing an exclusive Hot Wheels 1/64 Back To The Future II car with working lights that you can currently per-order @
