Got them from the 'Hot Wheels Collectors Uk Sales' group on fb.

They are part of the Hot Wheels Car Culture 2020, release 1 set - Door Slammers.

Hard to come across now in the UK so worth joining the fb group and keep checking or put out a request for anyone who may have one for sale.

Occasionally pops up for sale also on ebay from Uk sellers but nearly always, what you'll find on Ebay is from international sellers. Not a problem if you don't mind the more expensive shipping costs and time to wait.

As I have a 3 year old lad who likes cars and fire engines, any excuse for me to buy some for "him"

I also quite like the jada die cast batmobiles.






I also just found an alternate colour keaton era batmobile!

Seeing that BMW 2002 above I dug this out .



Similar but different ,on a short card ,is it sought after ?

I have a 911 GT3 on Ebay currently getting watched but not bid on ,so have not listed the 2002 yet .

Not sure about that model but you can stick it on ebay and see if it generates any interest.

Thanks for that , Ebay sales aren't going too well currently .I might add the BMW to the 911 listing and put the price up a little ,not double , to make it a little more desirable .
I only have those 2 ,not a big collector .

I also searched Ebay for Alfa GTAs like you posted above , all overseas sellers .
I prefer only UK sellers .
Did find a few different variants of the Alfa too .

Yes indeed, it might help adding both items together. Some buyers including myself, prefer to buy 2 or more items from the same seller in order to combine and consequently reduce postage costs than buying separately.

There is one of those Alfa's currently listed on ebay by a UK seller but the case has been opened if you're not fussed. Also means you get it cheaper than an unopened one.

I've got this one also on my watch list but none yet listed by a UK seller. It's the only other one I'm considering at the moment.

My mistake....just realised i sent you the wrong info. Been a long day banghead

You're correct, there isn't any Alfa gta by hotwheels on ebay from Uk sellers currently.

I'll keep an eye out on the other FB groups that i frequent and if any turns up, I'll tag you.

Spotted an Alfa GTA Hot Wheels from a UK seller on Ebay earlier , not my preferred colour scheme but I will keep an eye on it . £10 start ,10 day auction ,has 1 bid already ,not me !

I also looked to see how many colour variations there are ,found 5 , the red with yellow front ,the green , those 2 being those pictured by Koolkat above , also a blue car and a silver grey and the Ebay car is a 2 tone red / white .

I've also found some other stuff to have a bid on , am going to have a go at 5 auctions from 1 seller , all finish on 18th /19th with low start prices so am optimistically hoping to grab a few for <£20.
