I like Super Chromes.....

I like Super Chromes.  Before I started selling off my collection, I had both Super Chromes Morris Mini(carded & loose).  I even have the Ice Cream Truck from the set.

When one of the collectors from GTPlanet posted his haul one day, saw a brand new Super Chromes as a mainline...... and one of my favorite castings Custom Dodge Van, I'm not gonna lie.  This non-collector was pretty stoked. lol

This Tricera Truck casting is for one of my nephews.  Little kids like weird castings like this.  Shark Bite, that Piranha car, they eat that stuff up, no pun intended.  Very cool vintage JDM, old American Muscle, nothing.  Casting resembling animals, dinosaurs, these guys really get up for those.  :(

Anywho, Super Chromes Custom Dodge Van's for me.  Our family used to have I think '78 Dodge Van when I was a kid.  A conversion van with a TV & VCR, recliner, I thought it was the coolest thing.  Decades later, I still adore this ugly van(beautiful casting by Mattel though).  ;)

Also wanted to share couple other items from Walmart.  If I was still collecting, I'd have bought these:

Always wondered what these Ford vans looked like before the re-release.  Not many of these showed up used on eBay/TTP when I was buying, and when they did, very poor pictures.  This one here actually looks really nice!

Hot Wheels 40th Anniversary Super Chromes Set - Ice Cream Truck

I've been meaning to do a post on just Ice Cream Trucks.  For an unknown reason, it's one of the castings I fancy.  Maybe because I like ice cream.  :D
