    The car that little 5 year old me ripped stores apart trying to find was Chicane. I don't know why, but that was the one car I was obsessed with finding. I found on eBay a couple days ago, but it was $220!

    Aw, man! I collect Deora II's, and at the beginning of Accelaracers 1 Vert drives his Deora II with Teku colours. I really with they had released that, but thank you for confirming it doesn't exist. Saved me a lot of work.

    Well, you just proved a point. You bought one and now there are none currently listed. But yet you can easily find many of the other models. The High Voltage was hard to find and with fewer being listed on eBay, that would be indicative that there were fewer produced. Also, look at the closing prices of the High Voltage. It will sell for much more than the average AcceleRacer. Nowhere near the cost of Reverb though =)

    Yeah, there is a guy who has been relisting those Chrome Drones for months and months already! I keep seeing them when I do my searches. I am not sure if I want to buy them or not.

    Yes, these are long gone. But they still use the cars and give them new colors. Right now, you can find Synkro 1:35 in the stores in red. He is like an X-Raycer where you can see right through the body =)

    Reverb and Chicane are awesome cars on the Teku team! They are definitely going to be expensive to acquire nowadays.

  • @racegrooves
    @racegrooves  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is nice that Mattel is still releasing those models in new colors. If you were a fan of the AcceleRacers movies but were not able to get the cars, you can still imagine that they were the ones from the movie =)

  • @racegrooves
    @racegrooves  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Spectyte was release when stores were putting the line on clearance. That means that there wouldn't have been enough time for Spectyte to gather dust.

  • @racegrooves
    @racegrooves  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Sang Nguyen Hot Wheels does have Nissan 350 Z but it was not part of the AcceleRacers line. All of the models were brand new fantasy cars created for the AcceleRacers line.

  • @racegrooves
    @racegrooves  12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I bought all of these models years ago when they were released in the stores.

  • @racegrooves
    @racegrooves  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I just watched this segment on TH-cam - Acceleracers - Ultimate Race 5/8 - and Reverb looks the same. Maybe you're thinking about Spectyte.

  • @evilmaker89
    @evilmaker89 12 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I believe Drift Tech had 3 variations. There was the 6 spoke and the 5 spoke, but there was also one with a blue spoiler. I happen to have the blue one, and I swear I had the orange spoiler car, but I might have lost it. Also Synkro had an orange spoiler aswell, I own that variation too. :)

  • @racegrooves
    @racegrooves  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @diecastracerx Chicane has only been released a few times. The original AcceleRacers release, a multii-pack of the AcceleRacers models just after the run of AccceleRacers, and a couple track track sets after that. As far as I know, it has not been used in the single packs or 5-packs yet.

    @PttyBlue43 I am glad that I got the AcceleRacers way back when they were first released. As for their current values, that's why people send me messages if I would sell mine because they don't want to pay eBay prices. If I am ever selling, I am getting what they are worth. Best wishes to you with your financial situation and best wishes getting them in the future. There's no hurry =)
