    The first set of 10,500 is only available to HW club members. Supposedly its an all new tooling so hopefully additional colors and styles will be in Wal-Marts for $.99 ..... Now this would be an awesome car for them to produce in 1:18th or 1:24th scale ...

    PINK? PINK? Who drives a Pink Maverick??? Oh well I guess it's a start. I've been waiting for this one for a long time, but man why'd they start with pink. :slap:

    Ordered mine today

    Yeah, I ordered mine today. One of the coolest Hot Wheels of all time. I have been collecting for years and I am glad to see the Mighty Mav making a return. Had an original one in my collection years ago but for the life of me can't find it, so it make me happy to have another.:cool:

    P.S. I like the pink. It looks Hot.

    Mine came today ... I notice on the back it says "Officially Licensed Product Ford Motor Company" and "Maverick trademark used under license from Ford Motor Company" ... was that on the originals?
