I just picked up 6 of them and while they might look a LITTLE on the small side at first glance, they're close enough that the cockpit looks like it could fit a single humanoid pilot abet in somewhat right conditions.

I think they'd be great as VTOLs or Starfighters for some alien faction. Personally I think they'd look great with Crusties or Sprugs

I could

I like it… Haven't seen the movie. Yet….

I really like that thing, I can see it working for all kinds of things, but it does seem a bit small, (based on the package) I'd love to see how it looks with some 15mm figures. (or anything you have laying about)

Looks like it'd make a nice flying HK drone too.

As you can see, I'm still trying to figure out how to take pictures that don't suck. :p

GREAT FINDINGS! I will go to store tomorrow!

Oh, my.

Totally going to have to buy some, now!

Might even work with some of the 28mm "small Greys" on the market.

I got lucky. They were having a BOGO sale when I bought 'em.

They're great, and as you can tell by the pic, scale well with the Viper.

So what do you think would be a good "nickname" for them? Lobsters or Prawns? :p

Lion in the Stars Supporting Member of TMP12 Sep 2012 12:35 p.m. PST

Grampus, Cuttlefish, etc…

Are these for sale in the racks with regular hot wheels cars? Where did you get it? That would make an awesome flyer for my 10mm sci-fi forces.

I got 3 from Asda in the UK for £1.00 GBP each.

Wow! I haven't seen those yet….But then again, HWs have sucked in my 'hood for a while now. Think I may have to hoard those a bit.

Psyckosama Supporting Member of TMP12 Sep 2012 3:40 p.m. PST

They're on the racks mixed in with the regulars.

To make things easier I'll describe the packaging a bit to make it eaiser to find without looking at each one.

Blue pack, orange stripe thing which I think is standard for Hotwheels.On the top it has a small black strip that says "The Dark Knight Rises" and on the bottom, on a level that you could actually look bnetween the rows and see them it says "2012 New Models"

Thanks! I'll have to hit the big box stores next week. What store did you find yours at?

Psyckosama Supporting Member of TMP12 Sep 2012 4:14 p.m. PST

Toys R Us.

I was looking forward to this… but I don't think they're quite big enough for my taste. Yes, they could be remote drones or what have you. But I will keep my eyes out for a 1/72 kit or so, I think.
