I think the narada is shown because it was only thus far released in a boxed set exclusive. Thats the only thing I can think of. A lot of companies this year opted to show off stuff that has already been released and minimal new stuff.

That's if they can sort out their manufacturing problems. The factory that did the test-run last year has been shut down. I haven't heard anything in well over a month.

Very nice!
I've already got the Narada, but I'll get Kelvin and Excelsior. Personally, I would have preferred the Ent B to the Excelsior, but really, I'll buy both, since they're slightly different.

Is it known if Walmart/Target/TRU will carry these, or should I be getting these online? There's so many ships they need to do (DS9, Defiant, ROMULAN WARBIRD, etc, etc) I really want to this line to have support of big retailers so they'll get to all those ships, but I also don't want to pay a lot extra on eBay because I didn't get them from BBTS when I had the chance.

That was my thoughts exactly, Since it was only a Costco exclusive originally I think they might do a regular release of it as well.

I have two ebay auctions for star trek hotwheels ships going right now. My ebay handle is VulcanFanatic.

Does anyone know if there's anywhere to preorder the Kelvin? It's the ship I'm most interested in and I haven't been able to find anywhere to get it.

I'm with ryanlb on this - I have the Narada, but will definitely look for the Kelvin and the Excelsior. Nice scale, good for a smaller display - and no one has made the Kelvin before.

Nothing listed on New Force, Big Bad, Entertainment Earth, or eBay yet.

[JonWes]

Huh. Well, I knew they were doing larger ships, but I didn't expect this:

[JMW326]

That's a smaller hot wheels car size ship. I will be looking for it.

I suspect the now-sold-out listing in the OP, from which this thread takes its name, will turn out to be the Kelvin. But maybe not.

Great find on the smaller ship. Will be looking as well. Wonder what else is in that "HW Imagination" series?

[JonWes]

What weren't you expecting? Also is that a larger ship than they did in 09?

I was saying I was expecting the larger ships (like we got in 2009) but not this ship, which is smaller in the same package as your typical Hot Wheel.

[Commodore Kor'Tar]

I just wonder if this will be common, or a short packed chase item.

Yeah...does the fact that this blog is called "t-hunted" mean they only post about treasure hunt/chase items, or do they still cover the whole line-up?

Either way, at times it seemed like some of their past larger ships were treasure hunts as well, so I guess we're used to it?

Oooooo, where did you find this? I wonder if it is more metal than the 'Die cast' larger one....

After going through a few of the pages on there, it doesn't seem that they only post about rare ones. There's quite a few common ones they've posted on there.

The Abramsprise will probably be like any other property/franchise vehicle that's tossed into the regular Hot Wheels line, which will be 1-2 to a case and only in 1-2 case assortments. Although there are other specialty case assortments that might be out there that could include it as well. They pretty much are always shortpacked, but when you consider the volume in which Hot Wheels are made, there really aren't any that have been rare. Rare versions, sure, but not rare in general.

The worst you may have to do is pay $5-7 on ebay, most of which will be for shipping.

I think I'll be skipping this one, but I hope they do a couple more. I really like that despite the small scale and limited packaging dimensions, they still managed to include a stand for it.

Missed out on the 1701 reboot version the first time around. Won't happen this time. Anyone know the release dates on these gems?

[Alteran195]

Has anyone been able to find that little hot wheels enterprise? I spent some time sunday looking at several different stores for it and couldn't find one.

[2thGuy]

Just found.



A little cheesy, but I'll be the first to plunk some coin for this!
