First Look: Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive Thunder Roller...

Last week this thing sold out in seconds.  Literally.

It must be a popular model.  Lots of folks out there love the rigs.  I did as a kid.  Hell, I still do now, and this heavy Hot Wheels is pretty darn cool.  Want to see this model that sold out in seconds?

Here:

Ugh.  That photo does this model no justice.  None.  There is this strange plasticy film covering it.  It sure makes that gold color everyone is excited about look dull.  Let's try and remove that plastic:

DARN TOOTIN!  That thar is one hefty handsome rig!

Yeah, this is an RLC gem, and it is 100 times better freed from its prison.  C'mon guys, do it!  You won't be sad.

And those of you that don't have one, head over to eBay and pick one up, and then open it!

From the Lamley Tomica Limited Vintage Collection: Nissan 3.5t Coca-Cola Truck...

We are car guys.  Our readers are too.  But there is something that Tomica Limited Vintage does to the minicar collector.  They make you start thinking about trucks.  It starts with, "Well, I have this awesome TLV Datsun 510, and it seems that a flat bed truck would be cool to sit it on.  I will get that as a nice accessory to my awesome 510 collection."  

Soon, it becomes, "Time to box up the 510 collection so I can make room for all these trucks."

As great as the TLV cars are, and they are fantastic, the trucks are truly (bloggy superlative alert) mind-boggling.  So it's all about the trucks, and we plan on showing a few.  We even have the other Hino Transporter coming.  Happy Joy.

So let's take a wonderfully detailed TLV truck, mix in an iconic brand (red and white, makes soda), and then show it off.  TLV pairing with Coca-Cola has produced some fantastic models, including several trucks, a Skyline Van, and yes, the Bluebird Super Silhouettes:

It's the Nissan 3.5t, complete with a driver, cart, and a load of bottles to deliver. As cool a model as TLV has done.

And yes, it is available at Japan Booster, along with a few other Coca-Cola cars...
