Hot Wheels / Matchbox Mazda MX-5 Miata (all the colors & variations) Photo thread

Here is a small part of my Hot Wheels Collection, someone asked what Miata's I had so here are some photos I recently took.

Now that Hot Wheels appears to have the license again for Mazda since they did that old school RX7 I am hoping we will see some NEW Miatas, more colors, or even a mold for the NB MX5 Mazdaspeed, or NC MX5 Miata? http://www.tampabaymiatas.net/forum/images/smilies/eusa_pray.gif (fingers crossed)

Anyhow, onto the cars, I started collecting in 1997 or so, and what started with just looking for Miatas turned into a huge collection later on down the road. Here are the Hot Wheels Miatas in production order. FWIW now is a GREAT time for you guys to pick these cars up dirt cheap on ebay, as it took a lot of time and money to get all of mine way back when.

This might take me a few minutes to get them all listed, so just hang on! And Ill do the Mazda 3rd Gen RX7 in another thread.

And that is pretty much it, sadly Hot Wheels has not made another color variation of this model in almost 10 years. :cry2:

I hope that with them now doing the 1st Gen RX7, and the Mazda Furai that they will bring this mold back into production.
Or even make an NB or NC Version?

Hello Hot Wheels, are you listening?

If you have some Mazda Hot wheels please post your photos up! Have questions ask away! Do you have them all, or are you missing any?

I have seen some nice custom ones made from this mold too! Let's see what you guys have!

08-15-2012, 12:51 PM
I wonder if it is a Mazda issue, or Hot Wheels issue, as to why they have made no NB or NC cars.

I have none of these, yet, but they are readily available on the'bay. I do have both RX7 colors and all 3 Furai colors

Actually they released some ZAMAC cars exclusive to Toy's "R" Us stores back in 2004. Do a search on eBay under ZAMAC Hot Wheels and you will find a LOT of different models that got this treatment.

Placed an order this week at Grana Toys for some Monster Jam trucks I collect. Then saw they had the 2016 Matchbox ND listed....So I bought it. After having it in my hand I don't care that I over paid for it lol

This is a GREAT looking piece. Perfectly executed. I don't collect many Matchbox but this thing is beautiful. Interior has the dash screen. Thick windshield isn't too thick. Tampos front and rear are precise and clean. Headlights, emblems, fog lights, taillights.

A few have sold on eBay already for around $150, all three having been bought using Buy It Now and the listings have lasted less than an hour each. #1-75 were Early Registrant variants in that they have some added text on the trunk ("Fourteenth International Collectors Gathering") and only one of those has sold at $230. Personally I like the car without the added text.

Looks like the NA Miata is going back into production!!!

Here is a sneak peek photo from the Hot Wheels Annual Convention In California from last week.

Look close it seems as if its a completely NEW casting as well. Not sure if they lost the old casting or just decided to freshen it up a bit

GOT A FYI!!! I'm from Pa. and there is a small chain called OLLIE'S BARGAIN OUTLET, that is on the east coast to FL. as well as Kentucky I believe. They bought up Much of the TOYS R US die-cast cars as well as the Lego Ninja figures (as well as toys for your children & Grand Children for Christmas). So if that's your thing, get to one fast as they can be bought on the CHEAP!!! GOOD LUCK!

Get out there and find them guys!!!!

Also if you have found extra that you are willing to part with please let me know I can reimburse you with paypal and some MazdaRoadster Swag (tee shirts and stickers)

So far as I know they are Mid-way across the USA, (Texas) and still moving east. There should be 2 per Miatas case at first and then in a few months it will be 4 per case. The eBay scaplers are already jacking up the prices, please dont feed those monsters!

Too far a drive for any of the participating Gamestops near me.

So, if any of y'all end up with extras, let me know. Would like to get 3-4 of them. Want at least 2. 1 to open and keep as-is, 1 to drill apart to source the tan interior.
