    I have that classic bat mobile with error (no grey tampo and top tampo) that i bought from along2016 at ebay. I also have carbonator (2013 TH Series) with no rivet at all, found it at jusco.
    I guess it take a luck to found such errors, you got to look all cars one by one.

    I have a 1989 movie version of the batmobile from the 2013 imagination line. the rear wheels appear to be correct, with black rims. the problem is the front rims are a different style and color, they are silver. do you have an idea as to how rare this is. don't intend on parting with it, but I would like to know it's rarity.

    (c) 2011 Mattel 1186 MJ, I, NL. G30. Mazda RX-7 (Yellow) My son was playing with one, the wheels ended up coming off from the rear end, and he stepped on one; it stuck all the way in his foot! The wheels are a tack-like piece. Pointy just like a tack, very rusty piece as well. I am not happy. Should probably make your matchbox cars a little more kid-friendly! Seeing how i'm sure 90% of the sales are to or for kids. Hoping he doesn't get tetanus or something :-(
