Christmas idea for the kids

[NHL2133]

While shopping at Target yesterday I made my required stop in the "Hotwheels" isle to see what Vipers were available. I found a few new ones that I haven't seen anyone post, so I thought I'd pass them along.
First, there is a new orange Comp Coupe Hotwheels in a multi pack called "Speed GT" (I think)
Second, a new set of Vipers from a company called "Road Rippers". They had multiple Vipers with different themes. They had 06 and 08 Coupes, and even SRT-10 Ram trucks. All of them had lights and sounds, and I believe they all move under their own power after you press the buttons on the roof. The larger cars would do wheelies (Turbo Wheelie) or race across the floor (Spinout (pictured below)). According to the "Road Rippers" website they are for sale at all the big box retailers. Happy hunting!

Heck with the little kids, us BIG kids want one!!!
Actually, those would be GREAT to keep in the glove compartment (okay--trunk; okay--center console; okay on the FLOOR! ), give to kids who just LOVE the Viper! ~juli

I'm jealous. My Parole Officer has recommended I stay away from the toy aisles at stores.

If anyone wants some hookups on all those Viper toys, let me know. I am in the toy industry and can work some killer deals/trades. I am going to Hong Kong in January...I remember seeing all sorts of Viper cool stuff...but never paid that much attention to them as I didn't get the viper bug...after I was bitten, I am sure that will change. Maybe I will bring a heck-load of all sorts of new stuff...some sort of raffle maybe? All proceedings to a charity/good cause?

 

[mike & juli]

Sounds good to me, Tailwag! LOVE that picture of your 'fangs' cat! WICKED! Would love to see what Viper toys would be available, and you know most people here would 'collect' the Viper toy cars! Go for it! ~juli

As long as you do not find 1:1 scale Vipers being made over there, bring back whatever you can find!!

one never knows what they will make in the middle of the night, in the basement of a far far away building...

Half the stuff is licensed, but 1/2 the other stuff are simply knock off's...but, really good knock off's. I remember seeing some toy cell phones that had imprints of vipers...and when you pressed one of the buttons, it said: "Kawasaki, let the good times roll"...and the other one would make motorcycle exhaust sounds...there is NO WAY in heck that was approved by Dodge...but it was funny!

They would probably fit in the trunk the best, and the larger ones are kind of expensive so you may not want to be handing them out to every kid who drools on your car. The Vipers that do wheelies are something like $20.

Too funny Dave. I will be laughing about that all night!

I love how threads take on a life of their own after the original post.

TAILWAG, we buy these 500+ at a time.....please contact me. [email protected]

Julie, if you are serious, drop me a note too. We have given away over 4000 mini-diecasts and sold about 1000. Many owners of like-mind as you, buy dozens from us at a time, just to reward kids who are fans. 4 different colors avail, 5" long 'licensed' diecasts pullbacks for about $3.50 ea, even less in volume..... Assorted colors a MUST because 2-3 kids in family need their own color!

Prediction: You will occasionally be asked to AUTOGRAPH one (!) , because 'you MUST be special' if you are driving a VIPER!

Will do...let me pull a list of all the "Viper items" that I can get a hold of. Typically, I would run a small production badge (about 10,000 pieces) but I might be able to tag on to an existent run or maybe even make a "custom" run for VCA...let me look into the details...
PS: sorry for completely taking this off track...

Boy and Gal......

25 assorted 1/36 diecast LICENSED pull-back Vipers is worth the effort, and they ship 3-days USA 50 States to your door, delivered for $99.00... "Under $100" ! And Ill put in a freebee surprise for YOU !

The joke was on the 'storage' compartments in the Viper, LOL~~! Hence my saying the glove compartment-OOPS; the center console-OOPS; etc, etc, etc. A few to me is only 2-3, not 25 . Thank you again for the offer! ~juli
