I was just going to post about this. Congrats to my bro-in-law Von Franco for this cool piece.

Man, I have been waiting a long time to see this happen. I'm so happy that I got one this morning.

There is only 6500 made, and they went onsale yesterday to the exclusive HotWheelsclub people first. Today they went onsale to the general public. I heard the majority of them were sold out yesterday, and thats just to Hot Wheels collectors, can you imagine how fast they would have sold out if they were marketed to Tiki people and hot rod people?

If you want one, better sign up and get it now, because they are almost sold out.

I have been watching this product develop over the last few months and it is so cool. Francos artwork on the inside of the box is killer. I also like it because its actually a replica of his car you get. Not just some made up car hot wheels thinks is cool.

The mug is amazing. There is nothing else like it out there.

Now I just gotta wait until Dec 31st for it.

There are a few on Ebay already, some for decent prices, but once again marketed towards hot wheels collectors. Tiki or Von Franco aren't in the auction title, so search under FrankenTiki.
