Ducati 1098R & BMW K 1300 R

Here are two very fast motorbikes, the Ducati in red and the BMW in black! The pictures speak for themselves, the only thing I will add is that the Ducati is fairly hard to stand up while the BMW is quick and easy.

Jurassic Attack Monster Jam Truck

This is a cool Monster Jam Truck, why? Cause it looks like a dinosaur of course! Although it may have looked better in some other color, I still definitely love the blue on it. And like most other Monster Jam trucks, Jurassic Attack is based off of a real Monster Jam truck too, here is a picture of the real Jurassic Attack.

Hot Wheels 100% – 40th Anniversary: ’69 Pro Street Camaro & ’71 Chevy Chevelle

Here are two very extremely awesome Hot Wheels! They are the ’69 Pro Street Camaro (in green) & ’71 Chevy Chevelle (in red). I got both of these as a gift today from my father’s friend who also collects various cars, I am very glad and appreciative to obtain these! I probably don’t need to explain much because it’s all there in the pictures but they are back from 2008 for Hot Wheels 40th anniversary. Each car is metal/metal, has real riders, extreme detailing (see pictures), opening hoods, and special display cases. They are super sweet, check them out! And I know a lot of collectors frown upon opening these highly collectible pieces but I just can’t enjoy them otherwise, there is just so much more to see and enjoy in hand!  


Part of my dad’s friend’s die-cast car collection.


Current Hot Wheels Desk Warmers

These are the Hot Wheels that are currently sitting on my desk for my viewing pleasure. It’s constantly changing but this is what it is at the moment.

Porsche Carrera GT

Another nice job from Hot Wheels, I wish they could detail the headlights and taillights each time. Overall it has decent detailing on it and really like the green on it too! 

Indy Car Oval Course Race Car

I found this Indycar back from 2012 today for a great deal, considering it is metal/metal and comes with real riders. The car is from Hot Wheels’s IZOD Indycar Series, it’s pearl pink and it has the Sarah Fisher logo along with some hot pink flames on it, even the rims are pinked out! I am glad to have stumbled upon this car!

Comparison to a basic mainline version:

’69 Dodge Charger Daytona

Another cool casting from Hot Wheels! This casting has been around for awhile but I have the two most recent ones, the normal red one and the exclusive ZAMAC version from Walmart. I really like both of them, they are moderately decorated with just racing stripes, very nice!

The Homer

This is an extremely popular casting, so hard to find that I had no choice but to buy it off of eBay. Here is the car built for Homer by Powell Motors, The Homer! As somebody who loves The Simpsons, this must be one of my favorite Hot Wheels car of this year so far, if not of all time. Definitely a must have for me!

Color Shifters

Here are just two examples of Hot Wheels’s Color Shifters, the ’55 Chevy Panel and the Monster Jam Grave Digger truck. These toys are pretty fun to play with, they change colors when they are touched by either cold or warm water, and they can hold either of their color at room temperature. Check it out!

These are very fun and awesome!

2012 Mustang Boss 302 Laguna SECA & Custom ’12 Ford Mustang

Here are two Mustangs! The first one has the really long name of Mustang Boss 302 Laguna SECA and it came in silver with red accents. In my opinion, the paint job doesn’t look as good as it could have been, especially with the red roof and red spoiler, it just looks off or weird to me. Also, there seems to have been an error with the rear end of it, being splattered with red paint (as seen in pictures), but that part doesn’t seem to bother me too much. The other car is a Custom ’12 Mustang, and I am guessing that Hot Wheels put a soccer paint job on it to celebrate the upcoming World Cup. I am not a soccer fan but I did like the design of it with the white, black, and gold stripes and stars on the red paint. So there you go, two fast looking Mustangs!

Edit: Turns out that the Soccer Mustang is representing USA for the World Cup, pretty cool!
