Until the Kenmeri Skyline debuted last year, I considered the Aston Martin DBS my all-time favorite HW casting. I hope it does not feel bad about being #2. Nonetheless, I stop at nothing to get all variations of this casting, and the hunt has not disappointed: each of the three colors of this casting have …

The BMW 2002 is easily one of my favorite new HW castings of 2012, probably because the BMW 2002 is one of my all-time favorite classic cars. HW has given the model a typical HW-esque racing style, and I am quite fond of it. The first version was in BMW orange, and now we get …

Like many HW collectors, I am a sucker for Ferraris. Well I am now at least, since Ferrari decided to make good looking cars again (It had been awhile). Ferrari and Mattel must get along very well, and it is a relationship we all benefit from. Keep those Ferraris coming...We have and will see a …
