Hot Wheels and Maisto Corvettes

[Agent☣Orange]

Everyone knows I won't buy Hot Wheels on eBay because it's not the same as the joy of finding them on a peg however, these are a couple diecasts I'm definitely not going to find on a peg or shelf. I've been looking for this Hot Wheels 1:18th scale Corvette for quite awhile, especially since it matches it big brother.

HW did a great job with this one. It comes in a sealed cylindrical enclosure I haven't opened yet and is my new pride and joy of my HW collection.

I put a regular 1:64 HW Vette for comparison

They even got my Z51 drilled rotors in the details

And the best part...

The Maisto Corvette popped up from the same seller at a really good price so what the hell. I like it a lot as well and have it out in the garage with my other open HW Vettes on the shelf.

Very good attention to detail from Maisto here too

I've always found the C5/C6 to be very bland when scaled down, not enough striking features. I do, however, quite like this one:
