Sorry for resurrecting an old thread. Can someone post the exact dimensions of the Hotwheels Elite The Dark Knight Tumbler (T6940). I ordered one but it will take a while before it gets here. I need the dimensions because I also plan to get a rotary display stand for it and I'm wondering which size to get.

I didn't get out a ruler, but it's about 8" long.
Is the Tumbler true to 1:18 scale as advertised? Seems a bit small compared to the Aston Martin DB5 and Dodge Viper R/T 10 I own in that scale. I have a 1:24 R/C Dodge Challenger. I'd like to get a model kit Crown Victoria and customize it to become a GPD Squad Car. Would a 1:24 scale police cruiser be too small?
EDIT - Did the math. It's 1:20/1:21 scale. So it's closer to 1:18 than I thought. Perhaps my DB5 and Viper are a larger scale... I wish someone would make all three of the Nolan vehicles I'm scale to one another.

Hi folks.. I'm hoping someone with more expertise than I have on collectible cars, can answer my questions.
I have one of these Hot Wheels 1:18 1989 Batmobiles in the Tube Display Case (I think it may originally have been an SDCC special of some kind.. but I could be wrong) -
So for a long time now, I have been looking to get a Black Tumbler and also the classic 1960s TV series Batmobile at 1:18 scale, in the same Display Tube.
Recently I came across this Tumbler -
But its the Camo version, not the original Black!
So my questions are - Have Hot Wheels ever released either the Black Tumbler or the classic '60s TV series Batmobile at 1:18 scale, in the Tube Display Case?.. and if not, have Hot Wheels ever indicated that they might do so, in the future?

Here's an auction for the TV series Batmobile in the tube display:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/BATMAN-ROB...Action_Figures_Diecast_US&hash=item4ac1cc4671
I can't find any evidence Hot Wheels ever released the black tumbler in the tube packaging.

Thanks for the quick response Pavehawk, that is very helpful.. I just have to hope the Black Tumbler gets a release, now they have done the Camo version.. sadly the auction has finished but at least I now know the 60's TV version does exist!
Edit - Found some more auctions using the description in your link, so now have pictures.. most excellent!.. however looks as though tracking one down, that doesn't cost the proverbial kidney, may be a challenge...

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!.. the 60's TV version was an LE SDCC item.. and it was FLOCKED!!!..
Holy Hideosity Batman!..Why, Hot Wheels.. WHY!!!... just because some 60's touring exhibition, replica Batmobile, was flocked.. is absolutely not a reason to create a 1:18 monstrosity to match it!
Since I cannot bring myself to pay for an SDCC LE, then have the flocked abomination crushed.. and replaced in the case with a standard Elite or Super Elite.. the hunt goes on.

This could be a Tumbler re-release, but a bit expensive. I emailed BBTY to ask for more details but then they said have no detailed info on this yet

I recently got these Batmobiles . Hot Wheels Elite The Dark Knight Tumbler (T6940) and the 1989 Batmobile (B6046, the 2003 release). Hot toys versions are way out of my budget so my DX12 will just have to settle for these.

I'm new when it comes to hot wheels cars and I have a question about the 1/18 89 batmobile. Is the 1/18 ELITE 89 Batmobile and the HERITAGE version the same? Do they look the same and have the same amount of details? Thanks 
Just an FYI...I have all 3 batmobile's in the "Elite" format and the 89 in the regular format as well... the tumbler and classic look great in Elite...but to me, the regular version 89 actually looks nicer. The 89 Elite is more of a dark dark grey rather than black and the accent colors just don't look right. Just my 2 cents but try to find a lot of pics before you purchase so you can make sure you are getting what you want.
Hello everyone,
I'm from holland and want to show you my hotwheels 1/18 '89 Batmobile collection.
This is the 2003 version, you can recognize it by the rear windows, these
are not clear as the later models.
The Battledamaged version.
The gloss version, witch was sold in the clear tube.
And the Elite.
From the 2003 version I own two models.
In one of them I want to fix dash, front and rear lights.
