ORANGE TRACK DIECAST 
got to meet richard rawlings at a meet and greet at foxwoods casino…he says theres gunna be a recolor of the midas monkey in blue and the gas monkey rlc should be out around christmas
Wow! Good to know. Thanks Jim!
Is it OK if we post wishlists on here? Or is that best suited for the hot wheels wikia?
No wishlists please as I am not associated with Mattel.
Does anybody know if the Gas Monkey Garage hi-po Hauler is still being released sometime in 2018? I heard there were contract issues but I also heard that they were going to release it late this year. If anybody is looking for the gas monkey garage corvettes in both colors I have been able to find multiple of each at Marino’s in Chicagoland Area of course after I paid 10 dollars a piece for them online. Happy to have more then one of each tho. Any Insider info?
Representatives from Mattel have stated the Hi-Po Hauler will not go on sale until late summer, early fall… which I personally equate to somewhere around September. No contract issues that I have heard of — as that most likely was squared away before production even began.
