I was scouring the used toy cars section at a hobby store (Mandarake) here in Fukuoka and while I did find and buy many little Tomica gems, this Thunderbirds Fab1 was the only Hot Wheels that caught my attention. Initially I thought it was some Japanese brand but upon checking the bottom, it said Hot Wheels. I had a look on eBay afterwards and these sure go for pretty excessive prices when mint, and I assume they’re Japan exclusives? Anyone know more details on these releases?
Side note: I used to love the Thunderbirds when I was a kid, but didn’t like the Fab1 because it was pink, and little boys could not like pink.
