Hot Wheels have made 12 cars from the first Fast and Furious movie. Let's take a look at them.
Fast & Furious: Running On Premium (Part 2)
My March Tomica Limited Vintage selection!
What a month! March was synonym of more Honda NSX, some more Integra and another chance for me to catch up. News came on time on Japan Booster (on the 15th), and as always, I ordered my favorite models. Some days later, it came in via DHL - with no custom fees for this time. …

Lamley Daily: Konami 1975 Mazda Cosmo
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start
Collection Update: A TLV, a Chinese oddity and a Soviet saloon.
The mail call is a bit more of a rarity these days in my household. Bills, mortgage, food. Day to day life means the diecast collecting (especially for the more expensive brands) is sporadic at the very best. But sometimes I have a little bit left over to treat myself and given Tomica just released one of my favourite Kei trucks of all time, I decided now was a good time.
Lamley Single File: DyDo (Konami) Mazda R360
You may recall seeing this in my earlier post on the Schuco BMW Isetta, where I had used this in a comparison with the German "bubble car" and vintage Kei trucks from Tomica. Given it's such a cool little car, I thought it's about time it gets space for itself, and given that it's the only R360 in this scale, the new Single File feature is a perfect platform.
Lamley Daily: Tomica Sigma MC74 Mazda
Model: Tomica Sigma MC74 Mazda Release: Tomica main line Where to get it: eBay Why I am featuring it: My parents have been welcome but accidental enablers to my hobby ever since I was in a pushchair and this car is sort of proof of that. One day when I was about 8 or 9 …
Matchbox is throwing us three dark grey SUV’s. I think I like this Mazda CX-5 the best.
I have never stopped in my tracks when a Mazda CX-5 has driven by. No lowering of the sunglasses while that Ferris Bueller "Oh yeah" music plays. It is just another car on the road. Actually, Mazda has done some nice looking ordinary cars, and the CX-5 qualifies as nice-looking compared to other small crossovers, …
Hot Wheels did everything right with the new ’95 Mazda RX-7
The title of this blog post could be the title for several Hot Wheels showcases this year. 2017 has been a good year. There are quite a few New Models introduced this year to be excited about, from racing Porsches and Ford GT's to a pair of killer veedubs to some modified Datsuns. Reviewing all …

Mad Mike Whiddet’s pickup is a great debut for the Hot Wheels Mazda REPU.
It was back in September of last year that Hot Wheels let the secret out the Mazda REPU was in development. Call it JDM hype or whatever, but a Mazda Rotary Pickup was most welcome. Like any pickup really. Like the Datsun 620, or Toyota 4x4, or the '83 Silverado. You know why? Because pickups …
