I think it screams Hot Wheels Style as never seen on this club! Love the deco, those must be the best graphics I have seen on a HWC car. Love the detailed engine, love the hoodless look on it.

I'm also kind of tired of blue Real Riders but I see this as one of the most beautiful graphic designs ever done on a car. Who was the genius behind the deco?

Thanks, Mattel!

Where is the Neo-Classics representative?? This is both conventions now where the Neo offering is available only at the venue instead of online.

Looks like it crashed into a Sherwin Williams store and lost its hood in the process.

Fantasizing about Blue Real Riders... can you ever really have enough

Not impressed, looks like Peter Max threw up on it, and not in a good way.

Ooh, blue, that's new! RR's for a change! Niiiiice!

 I agree. Another BRRC classic is born.The BRRC is as strong as ever.

Since such a large number of members vote for blue Real Riders, I thought that would cause this to be a sell-out.

I think only us Neo fans are burned out on blue RRs — not the majority of the members which are obviously [mostly quiet] RR fans.

A lot of people are burned out on the BRR trend. I HAD to have this one even though it's a BRR. It will probably sell out tomorrow.

Too much deco. Big turn off. Love the casting, hate the presentation. Sorry — just didn't fit the bill for me.

HOW MUCH BLUE IS ENUFF?

HOW MUCH BLUE IS ENUFF?

Yeah, it sort of reminds me of a joke that I heard while backpacking in Guatemala.

What is the maximum capacity of a Guatemalan bus?

Answer: Cinco mas.

I started a post on the general discussion boards, but I guess they are not part of the Blue RR club so nobody responded.

Anyway, I like the SS Express, but I was saying: "I guess Mattel really thinks we are serious about wanting a blue RR club."

The SS Express has the necessary RR wheels, at least the deco covers up most of the blue.

Hey relax, I think this SS Express looks pretty cool, I just knew somebody would start complaining about it being a Blue RR. So I thought I may as well help to get the complaining started. NOT!

I like the car. Hey we vote for Blue RR's every time, so Mattel is just giving us our favorite color and wheels.

This SS Express does look good but members, please try to remember how many Blue RR's there are, and vote for something else in the sELECTION'S next year.

No blue sELECTION's cars in 2009!
