Then attention swung to the next color of the 787b, and finally settled on the shockingly cool Bluebird SSS-R. Add an underrated Toyota Crown and July is - … Continue reading Mitsu Evo, 787b, and the July 2019 Release from Tomica Limited Vintage is now available for pre-sale at Japan Booster.
At least I got it posted before Hot Wheels Nationals. Last October, I held another Lamley DLM Party at the Hot Wheels Convention in Los Angeles. The premise is simple. Bring something significant to open (RLC, Convention Model, Super), open it, get a ticket, and possibly win a prize. Quite a few folks came, and … Continue reading It took awhile, but here is the footage from the Lamley DLM Party at the 2018 Hot Wheels Convention.
Collecting, when you think about it, is an odd thing. Who knows what wires crossed in our heads that made us want to gather things, but I think it is safe to say that most folks visiting this site enjoy collecting little cars as much as I do. We think of collecting in a myriad … Continue reading The excruciating process of saying goodbye to this special 1 of 100 SEMA-Exclusive Matchbox Skyjacker F-350
It just gets better with age. Hot Wheels Vintage Racing is over 8 years old now, and it has finally become to collectors what Mattel thought it would years ago.

There are still a … Continue reading Preview: The stunning Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive Urban Outlaw Porsche 964
Let's just say if I wasn't a blogger and YouTuber, I probably wouldn't have picked up this entire set. The art is incredible, but as a DLMer art is not a huge factor in what I bring home. But I can say I would have brought home the Brat, no matter what. The Subaru Brat … Continue reading Showcase: Hot Wheels Baja Racing Trucks set, and a Subaru Brat walk-through.

There also comes a time when you stand in front of your collection, noticing that you can't enjoy certain pieces like you'd like to, like displaying them. You realize that day … Continue reading The ongoing Lamley Purge continues.
I was surprised to see this 6-model set in a nearby Walmart today. I had no idea it was hitting. I bought the whole set to feature, but would have left a few if that wasn't the case. The no-brainer? The BRAT of course. I turned on my camera when I found the set. Enjoy: … Continue reading A new Walmart-exclusive set from Hot Wheels dropped.
I'm not going to write a lot about this, only pass this along from the Diecast TV Channel. It's been a favorite YouTube Channel of mine, and the Team of 3 found a crazy wheel variation recently. I will let them do the talking. But first, because the Team of 3 at Diecast TV Channel … Continue reading Variation Alert: Has anyone else been lucky enough to find this bonkers Hot Wheels Escort wheel variation?
