Available from 4/26-5/3 ONLY. (http://www.hotwheelscollectors.com/news/news.aspx?news_id=1172)

Register on the Hot Wheels site for free and you're able to order a limit of two for $14.99/each starting on 4/27. 4/26 ordering is reserved for paying RLC memberships. No worries - as they're making enough to fill orders for the week regardless.

Very similar to the highly detailed SDCC Ecto-1 from last year. This one differs by having new Pearl White paint, Neo-Classics wheels, chrome chassis, and metalflake gray interior. Now, I don't know the total of SDCC Ecto-1 made, but I can relay that it is one of the most highly sought after releases that Mattel had last year. Very difficult to find under $50!

Although I don't expect this to go as high, the fact that it will only be available for a week will keep demand high on the secondary market up. You have enough time to register and order a pair before seeing them on eBay in a month selling for $35-40. Open one and keep one in the package or one to trade... :thumb:

Mattel recently started that "backorder until end of year" schtick with the K-Mart mail in Custom Convoy. Saves them time constantly updating when only a portion of orders are mailed. Rest assured delivery will not take that long.

Reminder: Last day to order!

Website says you can order through today at 8:00 AM Pacific time. Looks like the opportunity has past.

Although these started shipping out a couple months ago, mine have finally arrived. Nice bonus having consecutive serial numbers - a first.

Didn't have guts to open one of my consecutive low serial numbers. Managed to grab 2 more this past weekend and one was already opened. Still too overcast to get all the colorful flakes in white paint really popping. This looks REALLY sharp loose though! Sandwiched between two RLC Ecto is a standard mainline Ecto for comparison.
