Hot Wheels "The Beatles" 5-Car Premium Set


Hot Wheels "The Beatles" 5-Car Premium Set

Saw these on the way home tonight at Toys R Us.  I already had the set, so I didn't bother picking it up.  I figured it was probably $20?($4 per car).  According to their website, it was a bit more(see pic at the bottom).

I was able to find all the cars locally, except the Hiway Hauler.  Like any VW vans, or ZAMAC Japanese cars, Hiway Hauler being sold at local stores are absolute myth.  Those vehicles are sold exclusively online & with markup of 100% or more.  Everybody knows that(I can't help with the sarcasm, I'm sorry). 

If you don't have any Beatles cars & are interested in them, this would be a cool set with the collector set box!  Keep the Hiway Hauler carded though.  I like this one a lot more carded.  And another link: Yamahauler(this one will stay carded forever).

Hot Wheels - RLC versus Convention Datsun Bluebird 510

Hot Wheels RLC Datsun Bluebird 510

So I've showcased the still-carded Convention 510 here.  At the time, I wasn't 100% that I was going to uncard it, but as the RLC came closer to me by mail, I figured I will uncard it, and I can share little side-by-side in one post.  Here we go:

Lowest number I've ever gotten from RLC(Red Line Club).  I am a member, and I paid $14.99 + shipping(combined shipping w/another car was $7.95).  This site is notorious for glitches & thanks to that, I was robbed of a duplicate, and honestly, I feel lucky to even have one.  :(  At least the car looks nice:

And here we go with the Convention car.  First 510 to be released with the opening hood(RLC was released just days later).

I fancy the chrome finish of the RLC engine bay more.

Honestly, I thought I'd end up liking the RLC version a lot more, but man, Convention model's nice.  510's been done to death, but I ended up liking both of these.  It still doesn't touch the BRE versions by RLC, or the Vintage Racing though.  :p

M2 Auto-Drivers Good Year 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona HEMI

M2 Auto-Drivers Good Year 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona HEMI

This rear wing.....  Little rough around the edges amirite.  Still, for $3.99, I can overlook it.... but watch it, M2.  If this was $5~$7 like GreenLight, I wouldn't be this easy on you.  :D

We did the original safety loader here.  It went crazy with that white one.  On eBay, I think it was going for over $100.  Fortunately or unfortunately, we didn't see that kind of chaos with the second release of this casting in silver.  Check it out:

I think I saw John at Lamley had the same exact Auto World casting on this truck, too.  lmao.

Update: Bonus Photos! Bonus Photos!

When I saw these pics from a collector I know on Twitter, I had to ask to see if I could share them on this page.  AWESOME:
