2015 Walmart Exclusive Tom and Jerry Set (Complete Assortment)

I’m actually not sure if this set is exclusive to Walmart or not but considering that I found these at Walmart and considering how these sets usually are, it’s a pretty safe assumption. But really now, these came out of nowhere without any warning! At least for me anyways, in a good way too. Overall, it’s a nice set of six cars with each card-back being very fun and colorful. Surprisingly, I’d have to say my favorite is the Ryura LX, but they are all pretty cool!

Bad To The Blade – Multipack Exclusive

Now, this is cool. Bad To The Blade is one of my favorite Hot Wheels castings out there, but unfortunately for me, Mattel doesn’t seem to like to release very many of these. There have only been three releases of this casting so far. One being a 2013 mainline treasure hunt while the other one is a 2012 Team Hot Wheels High-Speed Wheel version. As for this third release, it’s basically a green recolor of the 2013 mainline treasure hunt, which looks pretty sweet actually. And to make it even better, it has a metal body and a metal base, just like the previous two versions! I really wish there were more releases of this mean looking car, but for now, this will do!

Corvette C7.R (New for 2015)

I’ve really been looking forward to this casting, why? I love the current generation of Corvettes, that’s why! This C7.R is absolutely awesome looking, don’t you agree?

Camaro Convertible Concept (2015 Then and Now)

If you know me, you know I love the current generation of Camaros! So by default, this casting is awesome, I love it. It looks nice in white along with its black and yellow striping. And along with the ’69 Camaro by its side, it only looks better!

Chevy Camaro Concept (2010 Super Treasure Hunt)

I finally got it! I’ve had my eyes on this super treasure hunt for a really long time now and I finally got one, it’s the Chevy Camaro Concept super treasure hunt from 2010! And of course, it has real riders and Spectraflame paint, it looks super awesome!

’69 Corvette (2014 M Case Super Treasure Hunt)

I scored this awesome beauty off of eBay for exactly 5 bucks, that’s including shipping, what a deal! Anyways, this 1969 Corvette super treasure hunt features purple Spectraflame paint along with Real Riders tires. It’s also from the Heat Fleet segment of the mainline which is why it’s covered in flames. Overall, it’s one awesome looking purple super! Also, do you dig Corvettes?

Original 1969 Twin Mill Restoration/Customization

Here is something I restored, an original 1969 mainline series Twin Mill! It was originally super corroded and it was even missing some of its tires. But now it’s nice and shiny, and it even has redline Real Riders! I had to soak this thing in Cola for nearly a month as well, to get rid of all of its heavy corrosion. Anyways, it is hand painted with Acrylic and then clear coated. For some amateur work, I’m pretty happy with it, I think it turned out great!

Paradigm Shift (2015 G Case Regular Treasure Hunt)

I know a lot of people aren’t a fan of this casting but I like it! By no means is it my favorite but I think it’s a cool fantasy casting. It looks neat in that translucent pink/purple body too!

Custom ’69 Chevy Pickup (2013 Walmart Exclusive Zamac #7)

Time for some more bare metal goodness! This time it’s a pickup truck, a 1969 Chevrolet pickup truck! I love that blacked out grill look without the headlights, looks sweet. Anybody else feel the same?
