I don't pull Supers that often when I do an unboxing video, and I guess technically I didn't pull one from this case. But I did pull a Bone Shaker Ultimate Chase, and that isn't too shabby. I think the Bone Shaker Chase will appear in two assortments, and I was happy to find it … Continue reading Unboxing: Hot Wheels 2018 US L Case (with the Ultimate Chase)
I know, who gives a hoot that I have a new office? Well, I do, and I have a blog, so I can share. In case you do care, I switched rooms with my daughter. She wanted a little more space, and my office was the logical choice. So we switched. And it is a … Continue reading My new office is almost ready, but what should go in my wall displays?
This is a cool case. I am probably guilty of making that statement not as a math equation but by the quality of the best models.

I just don't think Mooneyes and Gulf can be overplayed. I have seen that complaint from a few Hot Wheels collectors and I just don't get it. If every model Hot Wheels released was Gulf, maybe, but that isn't the case at all. Maybe 2 or 3 models a year get the treatment, and it … Continue reading Preview: Mooneyes and Gulf Racing get the Matchbox treatment

I don't know if I have ever reported a first find from India, but now I have.

The HWC Exclusive Datsun 240Z finally goes on sale today. After a long wait - this model was previewed last year at the Convention - and a very strange detour, it is finally ready to make its way to collectors.
