Lamley Awards Poll: What was the BEST and WORST Hot Wheels Super TH in 2017?

Ah, the Lamley Award category of all categories.  Nothing gets folks riled up like Super Treasure Hunts.  There are entire websites and social media accounts dedicated to them. They make grown men cry (and whine).  They can turn a bad day into a good day.  They turn kids into collectors.  They create friends and enemies. …

Super vs Super: 2018 Hot Wheels Porsche 934.5 and 2016 Porsche 993 GT2

The Super vs Super feature continues, with another obvious one.  I will try and get more clever on my pairings, and Porsche vs Porsche isn't clever.

One cool Por-SHUH Super Treasure Hunt this is, this Hot Wheels Porsche 934.5.

Por-SHUH.  Por-SHUH.  Por-SHUH.  Maybe I'll remember it better if I link it to "Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!"  Some of you will get that. I get grief for a lot of things, and my pronouncement of "Porsche" is near the top of the list.  I was defiant at first, as everyone I knew said "Porsche" as a …

The first Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunt of 2018 is a great sign of things to come.

Showcasing the Supers here on Lamley will never be an unveiling.  The Super game remains strong, and that means hunger for info will continue to inspire leaks from the Hot Wheels factory. It's a bummer that news of new Supers usually comes from unfinished models shown in grainy photos.  The only thing I can do …

Kdays is here.  Tomorrow, what's left of the US Kmarts that aren't closed or liquidating will hold the Hot Wheels Collectors Event.  Others in the areas in the hurricane-affected areas will hold it on October 7th. That means there are not a lot of Kmarts out there holding the event.  A few years ago, there …
