I'd suggest that anyone interested, buy one (or more) from either
the POCA store, or Jim Demick.  Prices are the same, and we
should keep the $ in OUR community !

FWIW, I purchased one this way.  They show a red car and in fact it is
yellow,
and I "think" that is the only way they come at this time.  No blue ones
yet.

liter,

coveted exoticar. Measures 9.3L x 4.1W x 2.5H in. Warranted.* This limited
editions make a great gift for the Hot Wheels ® collector. Come with
display
case or base. Ages 4 years to adult.'

It said Ages 4 to adult, so I just made the cut...I think.
