Hot Wheels RLC 2016 Membership '55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser Black/Chrome

Hot Wheels RLC hwc 2016 Membership car '55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser Black Chrome

So, I've been clearing out my hot wheels/minicars since I stopped actively collecting.  I've been digging out cars I forgot I had & some of them are really cool, like this 2016 Membership cars from the Hot Wheels Club/Red Line Club.  

I think only the first 3,000 to signup received this black & chrome Bel Air Gasser.  Next 4,500 got the red/white, next 5,500 blue/white.  Although Red Line Club is one of the reasons why I'm pulling out of collecting(mercilessly glitchiest website), it's easy to see why I joined in the first place.  These things are work of art.  *drool*

Matchbox Working Rigs - International Durastar 4400 Flatbed Transporter

Matchbox Working Rigs International Durastar 4400 Flatbed Transporter

I didn't buy this, but as a transporter fan, I had to take a closer look at this one.  It screams GreenLight amirite.

Flatbed is big enough to haul your average size hot wheel cars & quality did seem above average.  On the downside, it's not 1/64 & $4.97 is bit pricey.

This Walmart had dump bin overflowing with new cars, but it had already been raked through with butt scratchers.  What I picked up for my nephews:

Clay, or not clay.... That is the question: M2 Machines SUPER CHASE 1970 Buick GSX

M2 Machines clay model

Saw this online, M2 Super Chase limited to 250 pieces.  I'm like "this is clay", I always wanted a clay mockup model!

Wait.  Jig's up.  This is not clay.  This is a diecast painted to look like clay model.

Tomica Limited Vintage Ogikubo Damashi Vol.06 Nissan Prince Royal

Tomica Limited Vintage Ogikubo Damashi Vol.06 Nissan Prince Royal

Going by TLV product webpage, they have much respect for this car & accordingly, put much effort into this model.  I almost preordered one.....  until I saw the MSRP of ¥9,200($81.97 per Google).  It's their 15th Anniversary release.  It's big & heavy.  Lot of work into it, I get it.  Still, pass.  If I was still a active collector, I'd consider it.

My preorder site of choice of course is amiami.  They have great prices, too.  Another great place to check out is the Japan Booster.  Check out japanbooster.com or their eBay store.
