The picture does look like it may have hood struts. Maybe @Scottopia can confirm.?
Probably missing a tgd though.:frown:
I'll have to start making mini dampers. Looks likes there's a need for them too now! ?

It does indeed have a functioning hood and tailgate! While it was packaged as a 2019, it is however without the hood struts?! and could also use a tailgate damper as it slams down so friggin easily. It does appear that there may be a market for Matchbox hood struts and tailgate dampers.

Who'd have thought Hot Wheels would pull me through this upcoming recession? ?

This thread inspired me to look at Amazon to see what they have. Look at this crazy deal... they even have the cojones to charge $9.99 extra for shipping!

Dibs on the Mid-Atlantic Distribution rights.
Scott, I'll give a nice sign on bonus when you install a damper on your Ranger. :oops: ?

C'mon Fred you know the price is justified. It is a 2019 after all. ??

I have always wanted one of those in "Size: Blue"! But not for $100.
I wonder if the "Size: Orange" is bigger or smaller?

Not only that but if I were to buy from them, I can brag to all my friends at the country club, while sipping Dom Perignon, how I paid $110 for something that mere commoners paid $15.99 for!
