Where to find...

Can you help me with a web link? I've been looking for the Mattel blue Dodge Charger that was featured in the top 100 in the Winter magazine. Does anyone know where to buy it?

Randy,

That particular Charger is an older model -- I bought mine perhaps 5 years ago at Toys R Us. Mattel/Hot Wheels did them in a few colors -- I've seen a number in Red -- as well as some tuner versions with the Team Baurtwell and Unique Whips names on them. All the same basic casting.

If you specifically want the blue one, you may need to comb the auction sites, unless you stumble onto a shop with some old stock sitting around. There's a decent chance Mattel will do another run of them (they resuse most of their castings sooner or later) but it may not be in blue when they do.

RC2/Ertl also did some '69 Chargers that are at least as good as this one, and RC2 is about to release a 1:18 '69 Charger R/T from its revamped Johnny Lightning label. This will be among the very first big (1:18) scale JL releases, so it will likely be a collector piece down the line.

Thanks a lot. That was very helpful. RK

eBay is a great place to look, or just surf around the forums

Are you talking about the blue Charger with the black out hood treatment? You may be able to find it at one of the Dodge dealers in your area, I bought my purple Cuda there, but my blue Charger came from Toys R Us about 10 years ago.
