I believe he was mistaken, or decieved. No way Hot Wheels is the next Big One from AP.

Maybe Mattel contracted with them to build this Title, a new re-introduction of Hot Wheels?
Perhaps AP had 3 names and needs Groupthink (Pinside) to settle on 1?
I still think pinball manufacturers hate when a reveal leaks out and are working overtime to thwart it.
Been wrong before, can't see Hot Wheels without Mattel request.
On the other hand, Williams Grand Prix would make an excellent Hot Wheels re-theme.

48 hours and no independent/ Official confirmation of the rumor? No insider speculation, He said /She said?

Fireball 3 Return to Wotan

I really like this machine. They could have placed 4 Score LEDs in the right places and it would look perfect with the 89 SS Vibe.
Can I purchase one? Doubtful. Will definitely look forward to playing it, Hot Wheels meant a lot to me in 1975.
