Some cool new wagons are coming in 2018. Auto World’s entry is looking great.

New 1/64 wagon castings will be a highlight of 2018.  We have seen Hot Wheels' new Skyline Wagon, and Matchbox has shared early versions of its upcoming 1964 Ford Fairlane Wagon. There is bound to be a lot more.  Tomica Limited Vintage can always be counted on for a nice wagon or two, and I …

Not to be outdone, Auto World x MiJo Exclusives unveil their Gulf Ford GT40

There are a few no-brainers in the car world.  One of them is "everyone loves a Gulf Racing Ford GT40". It applies to diecast too.  If a Ford GT40 replica is made, it will eventually go Gulf.  And if a Ford GT40 replica goes Gulf, collectors will buy it.  With that in mind, check this …

I am thankful that I didn’t damage this ultra rare car when I dropped it.

That title makes sense today, here on Thanksgiving.  For those of you visiting this post any of the other 364 days of the year, now you know the context. It is a time to be thankful, and I am thankful for many many things, including all of you who make doing this blog/channel/etc so enjoyable. …

An Instant Classic: The Auto World x MiJo Exclusive “For Sale” Plymouth Fury from Christine

I have never seen Christine.  I probably should.  I like cars, but have never thought too much about haunted cars. So I don't know the story, but I do know the movie bred an automotive icon, along the lines of KITT and Eleanor.  The Plymouth Fury is a character.  And it has generated some stellar …

Auto World 2017 Premium Release 3 is here. It’s a good one.

A few of you have reported finding the latest set from Auto World at Walmart.  You are a lucky bunch. Auto World is on a good run at the moment.  The hobby-exclusive Lead Sled Wagons are out, as are the four Toys R Us exclusives.  But don't sleep on the standard Premium Release either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPDIHgDOtCE

#lamleyhype: The Auto World ’69 Chevy Kingswood Estate “Lead Sled” Wagons may be the best two 1/64 models of 2017.

There are a lot of "bests" in 2017.  Obviously that doesn't make a ton of sense, as "best" can really only be one thing.  Maybe I can call 2017 one of the "best" years for 1/64 diecast.  The year isn't over, so when it is I will try and make sense of all the awesomeness …

Auto World returns to the land yacht wagons with the upcoming 1976 Buick Estate Wagon.

You know one of the benefits of doing a blog like this for so long?  People know what you like.  So last week I got an email from Chad at Auto World telling me to check the AW Facebook Page.  He thought I might like what I saw. So I looked.  And Chad was right. …

The Auto World Ford GT40 Hobby Exclusives have been released.

Whenever I feature Auto World cars, I get an influx of inquiries on where to buy them.  Obviously Walmart and some Targets, but with a somewhat sporadic distribution, online hobby stores is a great way to go. Especially now.  Auto World and Johnny Lightning, both Round2 brands, have just released the first round of 2017 …
