So, I was poking around eBay looking for various different cars in diecast form, and I come across this...

...a Hot Wheels version of the 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S from Beverly Hills Cop II.

I love this film, and I'd really love to get my hands on one of these beauties.

They also have the blue Nova used in the first one, though Hot Wheels' casting leaves a little to be desired.

Yeah, it seems they got a bit better detail on the Cutlass then they did with the Nova.

I'd love to see HW make a version of the 1982 Dodge Diplomat from the second film.

Yup, it's all a matter of tooling: The 68 Nova was first released in 2004 with a Stinger hood scoop, but mold wear and tear led Hot Wheels to retool it in two versions, one was identical to the original, the other (this one) featured a stock hood, but some of the detail and some of the proportions and body lines were lost in the process and the two current castings don't look as good as the original from 2004.

The Olds, on the other hand, is a brand new tool, debuting in the Entertainment series, so it's much sharper and accurate than the Nova.

The same crappy, blue Chevy Nova?

Yup, same one, branded for the movie and everything.

My local Walmart has dozens of these priced at $4.99 CDN.

Also, they're plastic wheels...
