Following really close on the release of the Mini Mack Hauler is the Team HTB (Chick Hicks) hauler. I for see them doing EVERY single Piston Cup racer release they do for the regular line. The popularity of the haulers is off the charts even in the tough economic times.
Another release almost bypassed my radar. The sheriff in the pack caught me as the last Team Lightning had this Flo and Ramone.So I quickly grabbed it up.
This little guys are getting way too cute. And the detail is getting better and better with every release! Darrell Cartrip is spot on with its’ original 1:55 diecast brother. I am for sure looking forward to more kick butt releases like this!!
I stumbled across a new release of Mini Adventure Disney CARS characters. This seems to be a new “series” in Radiator Springs Attire.This Cruisin McQueen and Green Ramone are pretty cool and definitely stand out from the other releases for some reason.
I had stumbled into a K Mart Hot Wheels collector event last weekend and grabbed a few cool cars. Nothing too great to PLAN on going to it. But by luck I walked in just as it started and was handed a sealed case. Here’s a few of my pick ups:
I had grabbed 2 of these trucks just because they seemed cool:
I noticed the following day the 2nd one was very different. It seems to be missing the motorcycle in the truck bed:
:
And my MOST FAVORITE pick up( I grabbed ALL that I saw) Once again a SICK Jun Imai selection!
Yet another cool Ebbro pick up on the inexpensive side. I am super happy to finally add this Honda NSX to my enormous Ebbro Family.
With the new full size Race O Rama CARS carded characters hitting the US pegs at a very quick rate, I was able to snag a short card variation of DJ. Definately one of the highlighted part of the Tunerz squad. This DJ version also differs in Tampo design from the Original Super Charged/ World Of Cars DJ as well as the Impound DJ chase. This DJ’s Graphics are blue and is missing the hood tampos, where the Impound DJ has Greenish graphics and hood tampos. The Super Charged/WOC version has the hood tampos but lack the tampos covering the rear side speakers
With a little over 4 months in waiting time. I have finally received my 6 inch Golden Ticket TooFly Fatcap. The golden ticket had to be obtained by locating a special golden ticket card within the packaging of the Fatcap Series 2 blind Boxes. Once you had the card you were to enter the code from the card online and fill out your personal mailing information,then a few months later the figures were to be mailed out to the card finders. Granted it isn’t THE BEST 6 inch Fatcap Deisgn , But I am proud to add it to my existing complete series 1 and 2 Fatcaps.
With the hype of the 2008 NFL season over. I picked up one more Allstar vinyl LaDainian Tomlinson figure. This was the last color version (Light Blue Retro Jersey) that I know of in the series.
Continuing the Family of Yellow Hat Nissan Racing vehicles, the 2007 Nissan Skyline GT-R R35 is made into a diecast model. With a partnership between Ebbro and Tomica comes this beautiful race car replica.
