I'll leave the rest of them, as I finally bought this:

Because Jason Statham.


Though the Escort REALLY looks good.

Edit: I've now pre ordered the blue 911S and the Supra pace car.

I've got those two on order as well. 👍 Couldn't pass up the Supra pace car, it looks very cool. Looking forward to that one almost as much as the Porsche.

Samething for me. I just had to have it cause the more I kept looking at it the more I wanted it.

 

[RCKakashi14]

Just curious on the entire list of 32 cars that Mattel included in the lineup. The Escort is probably my next buy.

 

[Casey]

Took some photos.

Johnny Lightning 1965 Buick Riviera

Auto World 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger. Purple is a bit brighter in person than these photos.

Bought one of these:

HWC Heavy Chevy

Spoiler

Decals!!

 

[RCKakashi14]

I got the green one because the gray with yellow accents looks messy for me.

^ Bburago's going to be making that Lambo too this year.

Bought one of these:

Do HWC cars normally come with decals? Not bad at all. 👍

 

[a6m5]

Tarmac Works Idemitsu Civic

Yes!!

No!!

Headlamp's yucky amirite.

Do HWC cars normally come with decals? Not bad at all. 👍

I think this is the first for me. It's neat, but I doubt I'd ever use them.

They don't. Original redlines did, however. Evey single car from the brand's first era included the button and a set of decals so you could customize your car. Since this RLC release is kind of a replica of the original Heavy Chevy, I'm thinking they included a decal sheet to honor tradition 👍

Tarmac Works Idemitsu Civic

Honestly I think it's the livery that makes that Civic. Without it, it would have been pretty meh like the red one you posted before.

Oh wow, that's a cool touch. 👍 Thanks for the info.

Opened this Hot Wheels today:

RLC 2014 Rewards Car - '66 Super Nova


And just for fun:

Considering the price point, I tend to agree. At least it's neatly done, not messy like GreenLight, Car-Nel, etc.

Just saw that on your Twitter page for your blog. Looks great. 👍

Weren't the Car-Nel's old Kyosho castings or am I thinking of something else?

They were, but they sure were awkward looking.

Here is a 2017 Factory Fresh Custom Datsun 240Z y'all already know about.

And here's the part where I peer pressure you into liking this car and buying one for yourself because you're not cool if you don't.

 

[Zychotic1]

but why do they keep putting bugeye headlights in the fenders? the "good" casting has this problem too... Z's are flush across the top...
even with this problem the proper tail lights and existence of a grill instead of the G nose makes this the BETTER casting

Not sure if you guys follow Live and Let Diecast, but I've been hearing reports that Majorettes have been showing up at TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores in the US. Wondering if you guys heard anything about it or might get the chance to check it out. I might do so later today.

Because it looks gucci?

Well I like the round cover over the one you mention.

Nice cars!

Saw them at Marshall's this weekend. I thought they were ugly, bulbous things. Not quite big like JADA, but definitely larger than your standard Hot Wheel/Matchbox.

Grabbed another organizer to begin holding more wheels and spare parts for the custom stuff..... Also got lucky with Walmart's $1 rollback AND found a Datsun.

Mamma mia.

 

[Casey]

Few Tomica's that I ordered came in the mail today. Not feeling great so I'll take photos of them some other time.

 

[Spacegoat]

Nice cars!

👍

Does the car transporter actually come with the plastic cars? That's pretty neato. Great stuff mate. 👍

Quick photo I took to show that it does along with a size comparison.

 

[SVX]

That's sooooooo cool.

Gotta love my Walmart. It kicks me in the @#%, then pats me on the back:

These new Beatles cars. I wasn't going to buy but one. White Album Hiway Hauler(HUGE fan of the Beatles). They had like six of everything, but all Hiway Hauler's all gone. 🤬 I was warming up to the Hard Day's Night Dairy Delivery & rest looked cool too, so I ended up grabbing all four out of five that they did have.

I cried for like five minutes, then ran into these!

Big Paul Walker fan & a Supra fan, so I was REALLY hoping to run into these, but I was almost sure I had to go online to get it. I know, you are thinking "The irony after you cried about the Beatles Hiway Hauler", but only two of those are for me(I would 1 card/1 loose on this one!). One's going to my friend. Rest of the F&F cars, including the extra Supra's going to de nephews. So sad about the Hiway Hauler, but so glad about the white Supras. 👍

And here's the part where I peer pressure you into liking this car and buying one for yourself because you're not cool if you don't.

I want to be cool, but I can't find one!

Nice cars!

Not those two. Bel Air was probably about $20~$30(shipped) & the Super Nova was free & free shipping.

I also can not find that Bluebird. My Walmart sucks so hard.

It's odd that Hot wheels hasn't made a Centernatio yet?

 

[RCKakashi14]

Not sure if they'll come up with it in next year's release, or perhaps they weren't licensed to create that specific model yet. I don't know much about how licensing works...
