Hot Wheels 100% Moon Equipped truck set feat. Custom '56 Ford Truck + '38 Ford C.O.E.

Oh.... baby.  Mooneyes liveries are popular & I like them too.  This set was $25 & change(shipped), and considering how new limited release hot wheels, or Super Treasure Hunts go for online, I think this set is worth at least that.  

I used to have this Coca Cola Ford COE, which was pretty nice(wish I kept it).  I thought I didn't have any COE on-hand after that Coke one, but I was wrong.  Anywho, I'm glad I added this beauty to my collection..... HOWEVER: 

Main reason for this purchase was the pickup.  I'm partial to old Ford pickups.  I just adore their style.  Yes, COE's just lovely, but this pickup?  For me, a must-have.

Maisto All-Stars Elite Transport 1957 Chevy Flatbed + Scion xB

Well, I finally got it.  I've wanted this one for so long, I even mentioned it back in '15 on this another "Elite Transport"  post.  Saw it on eBay for $22 & change(shipped), I WAS ON IT.

While the cars arrived unharmed, thanks to the seller shipping this not in a box, but in a bubble envelope, packaging was beat to hell & card had already come completely separated from the blister.  I just don't understand these sellers who will gladly charge markup to collectors, but then stuff it in a mailer to ship it.  Crazy.  I was opening this one anyway, so no harm done in this case.

**Enjoy this pic of the bed in the slide out position, as I absolutely forgot to take another pic like this again.  Oops, but here we go anyway:

Controversial Scion xB(Toyota bB in Japan).  I absolutely love this car, which is why I really wanted this transport set.

Big surprise has been this Chevy Flatbed.  This thing has so much style, it's not even funny.  M2, if you are reading this, isn't it with vehicles like this where your brand really shine?  *wink wink*

I thought the DuraStar/Impala set was awesome, but this set totally pwn'd that one.

Better late than never!

Suntory Coffee "Boss" Audi Collection: Audi Sport Quattro S1 Pikes Peak

I'm all about variety.  Yes, it's not CM's & it certainly isn't TLV....  but would you be little bit excited if one of these came sitting atop couple of cans of soft drink?  I know I would be.

Can coffees are these canned ice coffee(engrish for 'iced coffee') things popular in Japan.  Those Starbucks Frappaccuinos in glass bottles are the closest thing I can think of.  Now, my collector buddy Kakashi/Ricky Rick who this Audi belongs to, he assured me that one's he tried definitely didn't taste good(unsweetened, if I remember correctly lol).  Well, he was generous enough to let me feature his pics again:

Added bonus:  It's a pull-back action!

Special thanks to Kakashi for letting me feature his car in my blog once again.  Try typing "kakashi" on the search box at top-left for other posts featuring his cars.  

Hot Wheels The Beatles "White Album" Hiway Hauler

Big Beatles fan, but not a fan of Hot Wheels just lazily applying Super Mario tampos, Star Wars tampos, etc. whoring these pop culture cars.  When I saw the pics online, I thought similar about these latest of the Beatles cars.  Then I saw them at the local stores.  I bought them all!...............  that I could find.  These cars were actually decent, but this post of course is on the "White Album" Hiway Hauler.  Unfortunately, it's been a very scalper heavy model & while I saw SO MANY of all four other cars at my local Walmart, not one Hiway Haulers were to be found.  

I paid bit over $18 for two of them on TTP(shipped).  Kevin's Diecast's just so awesome.  Seriously, check out his listings, especially the GreenLight cars.  Anywho, Hiway Hauler:

I know.  It looks really weird & wrong on a Tomicarama set.  Bear with me, it's almost over.

Check out White Album by the Beatles, too.  One of my favorite albums.  XD
