With all these up-graded cars out there now with up-graded prices, I think the quality should be checked further... I have purchased several of these up-graded Hot Wheels in the past only to find they are screwed up in the packages... When you pay 3 -5 bucks for a car, you should not have to take it home and fix it !!!

Ain't that a ... P.I.T.A.!

I see the helmet decal is a bit off center on the one side as well.

I'm really gonna have to look closely at these before I make the leap.

Support your local demo derby.

As is the case with buying any premium diecast, look closely! Quality control or the lack thereof hinders all companies. Shame you didn't find out till you liberated this one Stangfreak.

I think you have to do that with EVERY car you buy, these days. Especially HW mainlines, which are made in the zillions. I can understand that. But the Boulevard series should have better control. I have found two or three Boulevard cars with problems before I got one that was acceptable, put back some JL F64s, and I especially have to look over the M2 cars for everything.
