Nice. I'll have to keep watching the Hot Trucks to see if I find that.

It's not a TRU exclusive. I've heard of some being found in other stores, but about 95% of the ones I've seen posted being found are from TRU right now. Instead of being 3 months behind everyone else like they've been for the last few years, they seem to be getting current stuff before other stores lately.

Re: 73-87 hot wheels and die cast thread

They previewed this new '83 Silverado at the LA Hot Wheels Convention this past weekend. From the way it's being described on some sites, it looks like it'll be part of another $1 Wal-Mart special series. They did a similar camo series earlier this year, but it wasn't all trucks like this one looks to be. I don't know what others are in the series, but the '83 will most certainly be the hot seller of the set.

Finally found the 5-pack today. Only found 1 between 2 Walmart stores. I'll keep looking. Opened and converted to 4X4.

Keep your eyes on your local Wal-Marts for the Maisto Tow & Go '87 Chevy. I finally found one yesterday. These things are already going for nearly $40 on eBay.

A little while back I bit the bullet and finally picked up the RLC and Convention '83 Silverado 4x4s.

Re: 73-87 hot wheels and die cast thread

Been a while since I've been on here. Starting a new venture so I've been busy with other things. I did a few new pieces and entered some at the 2017 Hot Wheels Convention a week ago. Got 2nd place in the Hot Category for this Honey Gold Chevy truck combo.

Re: 73-87 hot wheels and die cast thread

Last weekend was the Hot Wheels Convention in LA and at the convention it was revealed that there will be at least 3 and possibly 4 new releases of the '83 Silverado for 2018.

There will be a display case sold with an exclusive black '83 Silverado. The graphic designer has said that the truck will come with Real Riders wheels versus the basic wheels seen in pictures. The case will retail for $50 and is reportedly a Wal-Mart exclusive.

The red truck will be part of a Target exclusive Decades series.

No pictures have been shown of it yet, but there will be an '83 Silverado in the Car Culture series with a metal base and Real Riders. It will be part of the Shop Trucks subseries.

Wal-Mart will also be having an exclusive 100th Anniversary Chevy Trucks series. It hasn't been confirmed that there will be an '83 Silverado in it, but it'd be hard to imagine such a series without one.

Re: 73-87 hot wheels and die cast thread

The Matchbox Chevy Trucks 100 Years series is showing up in Wal-Marts now with the brown '75 Stepside. I've found other trucks in the series, but not the stepside yet.

The black Hot Wheels '83 Silverado that was shown with the display case at the convention isn't the one that will be sold with the case. That truck turns out to be the one for Hot Wheels' version of the Chevy Trucks 100 Years series, which will be at Wal-Mart beginning in February.

No word on when the Target Decades series will start showing up.

That leaves two more '83 Silverados for 2018, but nobody has shown pics of them yet. There will be the Car Culture - Shop Trucks release which will be metal/metal with Real Riders and then there will be the one released with the display case (hopefully they haven't changed their mind on that one).

Re: 73-87 hot wheels and die cast thread

Maisto did a pretty darn good job, it looks like. Are these a little bigger? Maisto always seems to make theirs a little bigger scale.

Re: 73-87 hot wheels and die cast thread

These are nearly identical in size to the Hot Wheels 83 Silverado but with a ton more details. These are by far the most detailed Squarebody casting in a 1:64 scale.

I'll have to take some comparison shots sometime, but the body of the Maisto truck is maybe 3/32" wider than the Hot Wheels and the overall bumper-to-bumper length of the Maisto is about half the rear bumper longer than the Hot Wheels. So, they're basically the same size.
