They've been out for quiet a while now.
I've got a few blue ones and white ones. They are just part of the normal Hotwheels collection. I'm still trying to find KITT though.

You got to find the right shop. I went to the all the shops in the city and their stock turn over was crappy. So I tried the suburbs and have found that KMart usually have the best/new stock. But not all stores.
On the Biante forum, there's a whole thread on hotwheels cars. You can ask on there where you might get lucky. Otherwise they are all on ebay but you end up paying about $5 per car rather than the $2.25 at the shops.

Good finds! They are hot property at the moment and don't stay on the shelves long!
Hotwheels FG comes in Blue and White this year only. Hotwheels XB came out in 2010 in Yellow and Blue, then in 2011 in the Hotwheels Garage in metallic Bronze and Red then in 2012 in purple and now in red. There's also a Super Treasure hunt in purple with spanky bonnet accents and from the Gold Coast theres a limited edition run of 3000 in green, and again this year there's on in the Mystery Bags which is green, but different to the one from the Gold Coast.
