If you’re a fan of the Hot Wheels 100% line of adult collectibles, then you should definitely be checking out the 100% Hot Wheels forum over at HOTWHEELSCOLLECTORS.COM. Collector darwin8 posts a great daily thread there called “100% of the Day.” It features great close-up shots of various 100% pieces that are absolutely amazing! I’ve included the shots of the ‘69 Plymouth GTX he posted today to give you an idea of how cool they are. Click on any of the images to view them up close.

The folks at DIECASTLIVE.COM are getting ready to launch the pre-sale of their new 2008 Club Car. This year they have teamed up with GreenLight again to put together the “White Hot Charger!” There will be a total of 2016 pieces in the run. That breaks down to 1824 of the regular edition and 192 Green Machines.

Each car will come in the same plastic clamshell style packaging that you are used to seeing on the pegs at your local brick and mortar. As an added bonus, each car will come with a “shop accessory” to use in your displays.

The pre-sale starts on Saturday, February 23rd at 1pm EST. The regular version of the Charger will be $9.99 + shipping and handling. Orders for the regular version will be randomly substituted with Green Machines. If you would like to guarantee a Green Machine version, you can purchase a Regular version/Green Machine set for $49.99 + shipping and handling. Both of these offers are only available to DIECASTLIVE.COM members, so if you are interested in purchasing, be sure to register asap.

A note from the DCL Team:

Final Design Template of White Hot Charger Car & Card to be posted shortly. They will be similar (but not exactly) to our first GL Club Car White to red, White to green style. The GreenMachine’s will have a green body, tires, interior, and bottom. Cars will be in hand and shipped out in approximately 120 days around the June-July timeframe.

As soon as the updated pictures are available, you can be sure we’ll be posting them up here on diecastAUDIO.
