Just a heads up to hit your local Walmart, if of course you haven't already.  The new Lamborghini special assortment from Hot Wheels has hit.  A nice selection of models, simple decos, and crazy cool card art. I found them at a stop here in New Mexico, although long lines at the register kept me …

Finding the 2017 Hot Wheels Halloween Exclusives in July was a little surprising. But holy cow they are cool.

This is the era of Nissan GT-R 1/64 overload. And the new Hot Wheels version tells me I am not sick of it one bit.

I don't blame any 1/64 collector who is a bit tired of the Nissan GT-R.  For the last few years it has been everywhere.  The first US batch of Majorette has two, Kyosho has dedicated entire releases to it (including one this fall), and Tomica Limited Vintage will have released over 15 (more I think, …

What Drag Bus? The go-to Hot Wheels VW Buses are now the Kool Kombi and T2 Pickup. (And that T1 Panel eventually.)

The Kool Kombi gets hoarded.  It is the first model to get snagged.  It isn't that familiar with the pegs because it never hangs out that long on them. The VW T2 Pickup gets hoarded.  It is the first model to get snagged.  It isn't that familiar with the pegs because it never hangs out …
