Thank you for the info. JokerInc.
I did pick up the new 1:24 2000 batmobile at my comic shop, however. It is fantastic. I just hope all the planned vehicles make it out. ...Lucky.

Oh miracle of miracles, I have found the Two-Face car!!! Wal*Mart only had one, so I snatched it up quick! It looks great, now I just have to find the other "new" ones!!!

Got the 90's BatShuttle , another 60's Batmobile, and the 50's Killer Moth mobile. I get mine at a local Hobby Shop, the owner buys right from Corgi. He has every other one , so if anyone is missing any i can help. BW

That's great BW, good to hear they are out. Though I wish Walmart would get this wave in. At their price of $6.44 each, that beats the hobby store price of $10.

$10 just became $12 at the hobby shop i go to . It's hard not to get them there because i don't knoww if Walmart will always get them. I just looked at my collection and counted 24 single boxed 1/43 scale cars. Plus all the 1/24, 1/18 and the Deluxe boxed sets , this collection is really growing fast, One thing i don't like about the new cars is the color blue they are using, it's very bright and almost a neon blue.

Guess y'all haven't heard, but whatever product is in the pipeline now will be the last. Corgi's license expires at the end of the year, and they didn't have enough Big Box orders (i.e. Wal-Mart and TRU) to justify the cost of the license. Sad. C.

That's why i've been getting them from the Corgi dealer at the hobby shop. If anyone needs any, this guy has them all. Let me know.

This has to be one of the finest made Batman diecast lines ever created! Even though I'm always having trouble finding them, it's still a great series....

Received my preorders for the next Corgi wave. I hadn't seen pics posted yet on these, so if they have, please remove or disregard. The 1960s BMB is a slightly darker shade of the blue seen on the rocket and looks like it jumped right out of the comics. The Subway Rocket is a little too blue for me, but I think I'll keep it - lots of detail inside. The Mothmobile is very cool and the box art is priceless.

Thanks for posting...I just bought these 3 in a lot on Ebay. No one seems to stock them anymore in stores. Local Walmarts have a couple pegs but no merchandise after recent rvamps of the toy section.

I don't know what place WalMart will have in the last releases from the Batman Corgi line (I ordered mine online) but WalMart, well, at least one store here, has a near-the-endcap FULL of the not-so-easy to find wave which included the Catmobile, Submersible, Two Face car and BMB (4?). There were probably 2-4 of each car. The only one I don't really recall seeing at regular retail (besides the Subway Rocket, Mothmobile and new 60s BMB) is the red Bruce Wayne car. If you're still looking for vehicles from the cat-assortment, I'd keep checking WalMart, though.

Jvisbatty, Thanks for the tip and welcome...where are you located? I haven't seen Corgi Batmobile endcap display at Walmart since the wave with the 50s & 70s cars. Those yellow boxes would have made great displays I thought but I never got one. Is that how they're showing them?

Not an actual endcap. More like they loaded up a LOT of these near the endcap to the action figure aisle. I was just really (really) surprised to see them and in those numbers as I had ordered those same vehicle months ago from another online source. I figured NEVER to see so many stocked at one time, and thought I'd mention it as it was just really unusual. My location: Wichita, KS

The last new Corgi I found was the Batsub. I haven't even come across the Catwoman, TwoFace, Killermoth, Subway Rocket, 30's Batmobile or 60's Batmobile ver3 yet. The Corgi line has all but dried up in all of the stores I visit.

I just received the 60's V3 Batmobile, the Subway Rocket, and the Mothmobile in the mail yesterday. I ordered them on eBay to help finish the series for me. At Christmas time, my family puts our tree on a platform with a train and those miniature houses. I put on the Corgis on the streets, to complete the holiday look ;D

Every wal mart around here has had the Catmobile, Two face car and the 30's Batmobile recently. I passed on them all (really can't understand the 30's Batmobile,I know how it fits in, but it's boring as hell). Seems the two face car is the only one thats not very popular.

Those statues are of a much higher quality (at least here they are) than the prior ones Corgi made. That 60s one looks mighty tempting!

I'm really starting to fall in love with these Corgi Batmobiles & plan to get them all!
I especially like the new figures too, very nice!
How many Corgi Cars are there total? Are they gonna re-issue all of them with figures or just a few?
Thanx, Tommy Great post!!

Just picked up the new Modern Age set . Black and gold repaints of the Batmobiles , but the 2 figures are cool . One looks like the Alex Ross Batman. Got the set at my local Hobby Shop.

I like the fact that Two Face is looking like the early 80's version of him with that plaid looking suit. Also the 60's version Catwoman is uber cool. I really want these, I just hope Ill be able to find them.
