Thanks to 2005 Boards member Spiff-O-Matic, we can inform that the Jada Toys Studio Series Hollywood Rides 1977 Chevrolet Camaro has been found at US Retail.
This figure was spotted at Cottage Grove Walmart in Minnesota for around $20. All of these Jada Toys releases are non-transformable highly detailed die-cast 1/24 cars. The car features opening doors, hood and trunk and you can see a sculpted robot on the lower chassis. A collectable coin is also included.
We had reported our first images of this model and the Bumblebee 2006 Chevrolet Camaro Concept some time ago, and we are glad to see they are starting to show up at retail.

Makes me miss alternators.

That Ecto-1 is even more interesting.

Those are really nice, I look forward to seeing the G1 Prime and Bee ones.

Am i the only one who doesnt like these so called "highly detailed" jada toy model cars?
Pichomp
News to me. I’m really thinking about getting that ecto 1. If it had lights and a siren it would be an automatic purchase.

Facial animation is a bit weak – and I have seen better fan made cartoons by one guy in their bedroom.
But that said It is likely an improvement over Prime Wars if only because it's not running in slow motion.
It's acceptable as a child's curiosity peice.

Thanks for the heads up, I missed the "non".

Funnily enough I found it alongside the 2007 Camaro in a hobby shop in Tokyo (which I didn’t buy as it’s too high end car model looking)

Since I found mine a couple weeks ago, I guess I've had mine since July too technically
Did you find yours at retail too, or did you order online?
Jack Darby
I ordered both the 1977 Camero and 2006 Camero from 3000toys.com . They don\'t come with a coin though.

I think you need to edit the news post to say they're non-transformable
So far we just know about the two Bumblbees and trilogy Optimus.

Any word on if Barricade is getting one or is it just Bee?
Miyaren
This is news!? I have had this Camaro since july
emoo
they go for about $20 a piece
Black Convoy
How much for this car? Thanks

I found the ecto-1 a few weeks ago too at Wal-Mart. It did look good but I passed on it because I already have a few models of ecto-1, ecto-1a, and ecto1-b in both metal and plastic in 1/24, 1/21 scales one of which is rc. I have yet to see any of the new jada diecast transformers though.

According to Walmart, they are in the same assortment as the older Jada Transformers die casts.

I don't know if they are in the same assortment but I found that Ecto-1 last week on clearance at Target. It's the only time seeing it and it was odd it was on clearance already.

I found the 1977 Camaro with coin a couple weeks ago at Cottage Grove, MN Walmart, and found the ECTO-1 yesterday at the same location. Hopefully the large Optimus Prime and the smaller G1 die casts start showing up soon too!
