New Greenlight, including Hot Pursuit and Black Bandit, is now out at Wheel Collectors...


It is always enjoyable to report that new Greenlight is out.  And that is the case now, as Wheel Collectors just got a huge pallet.

The cool thing?  There is a little for everyone.  For me, Hot Pursuit.  I have never considered myself a police collector, but there is something about the police liveries and the cars used.  And like Matchbox in the $1 range, Greenlight seems to have it figured out in the more collector-aimed range. And this set is no exception.  The Bronco, Custom Ford, and the Charger and Ford Interceptors are all must-haves for me.

For others it might be Black Bandit.  Seeing these castings in straight black is such a cool idea, and I can see why there are passionate collectors of this line.  Same with the HD Truck series.  The TLV trucks have become favorites of mine, and these could grow on me as well.

You can see all the new Greenlight, including Green Machines, here:

And if you want to wait to grab these at your local store, don't want on this Hobby Exclusive '72 VW Type 2 Campmobile that is pictured above.  This will not be in stores, and to me is the best model of the whole batch.  Even the Green Machine is a looker:


Lots to like...







Surprise! The Nissan 180SX, Toyota Super TH, Ford Escort, and the rest of Hot Wheels Batch Q is now out at Wheel Collectors...


For many of you, this is good news.  The much-anticipated Hot Wheels Nissan 180SX is finally here.

Others of you might be rolling your eyes at the hype.

One way or the other, there is a lot to like in Hot Wheels 2015 Batch Q, and all is now out at Wheel Collectors.  Around here it starts with the Nissan, but the other star might be the Toyota Off-Road Super TH.  It is a casting I haven't paid too much attention to, but with that livery plus Toyota Racing colors, it is a must-have.  Another is the white Escort, which I might - MIGHT! - prefer to the blue.

There are many others in the final batch of 2015, and you can see - and purchase - them all here:

The brand new Greenlight Hollywood Series 10 is now available at Wheel Collectors...


Just a heads up that the brand new Hollywood Series 10 from Greenlight is now available at Wheel Collectors.

I love seeing the Kill Bill packaging, and while there is a car in that movie that is more well-known - but obviously couldn't be produced - than these two, they are both fantastic.


The real stars, however, have to be the Gas Money Garage models from the Fast N Loud TV program.  I have never watched it, but I like the models.  Methinks a lot of you will as well.


All are available here:

Before we go, a little plug for Wheel Collectors.  I have loved working with them, and Matt and I still smile at how we both decided on a whim to partner up during the early days of the blog.  Years in, I still stand firm that WC is the best Hot Wheels/Matchbox/Greenlight seller on eBay.  They love collecting, but they take their business very seriously.  They want to make sure that everyone that deals with them is happy, and there are tons of folks out there who back that up.

I hope our Lamley readers enjoy dealing with Wheel Collectors as much as I do.  They have grown quite a bit, and should be able to provide access to a lot of great product in the years to come.

Case Report: Opening a Hot Wheels 2015 International P Case...


Only one more case to go...

Think about it.  A year ago the frenzy for the Q Case Datsun Wagon Super Treasure Hunt was at a fever pitch, and it wasn't even out yet.  The P Case that was released before seemed like an afterthought compared to what was coming, most notably the Wagon Super, Porsche 934 and 2015 Mustang.

The landscape now is a little different.  The P Case has a Super that has a lot of people excited, the Superbird, and a lot of great releases.  The Q Case won't be too shabby either, mainly because of the Nissan 180SX that everyone wants.  But things won't be as frenzied.

Back to the P Case.  We like a lot of what we see.  We think we have resolved part of the mystery of the Fiat (not a Treasure Hunt, but we still don't know why the symbol is on the card), and one way or the other it is a fantastic model.

There are a lot more models to grab, and we will showcase them when we have them.  In the meantime let's get to the report.

As always, a random case pulled off the pallet at Wheel Collectors and photographed as the models are pulled 3-by-3.

Enjoy...

Reg Treasure Hunt Alert:



Obviously the Rogue Hog is the TH, but now I am totally curious about the Fiat.  Maybe it will become clear later.

All in all, a decent case.  A few models, like the Elmiraj recolor, M4, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, Mad Manga, Subaru BRAT, and that SUPERB Fiat, will definitely go into the collection.
