Got this today at Target for $1.03. Don't know if it is "valuable" or not, but I thought it was definitely a cool concept car and a model I probably wouldn't ever see around again for a long time. And for a buck, it makes me feel good looking at the image of what George Barris used as the basis for his rendition of the Batmobile.

Is this model a reissue?

Yes, there have been six releases of it. My favorite version outside of the 10th anniversary one.

Sorry for the crappy scan but I have not taken this set out of the box
and shot it with the Fuji since I got it...I will have to do that one of these
days...olesarge90/Gill

You can't see it but all of models in this set have
10th ANNIVERSARY on the wheels...

Futura looks good in white too :)

In real life, the Futura started out as white. It was painted red for the film "It Started with a Kiss" starring Debbie Reynolds and Glen Ford. Then George Barris owned it and converted it into the Batmobile on short notice.
