Hot Wheels VW Bus by Fatlace aka Volkswagen T1 Panel Bus

OMG, do these guys rock or what?  I don't skate & I'm not into streetwear or anything, but I wear Nike SB, Brixton, etc.  In fact, here's what I look like.  Please.  Please don't go crazy with the fan mails.  *ahem*  When I discovered this Fatlace Bus, I also discovered illest.  If USPS did their job, Saturday, I'd have received my t-shirt & hoodie from illest.  I still don't have it today, Monday.  Not happy with you right now USPS....

But I did get the one of two packages that contained the Bus.  Pics:

$23 + Shipping.  It's sold out right now, but maybe keep trying?  I got mine long after they were initially sold out.  I woke up in middle of the night one night, got on my phone browsing internet when I looked up the page again & they were in stock.  Crazy.  Crazy good amirite.

Hot Wheels Pop Culture Universal Studios Monsters - "Wolfman" Volkswagen T1 Panel Bus

Old release, new pictures.  I didn't care for this Universal Studio Monsters series with the exception of this one. So cool.

How do you spell out a howl by wolves?  Forget it.  lol

LEGO Cars!

Did you guys play with LEGO as a kid?  I did.  LEGO & Japanese blocks called "Diablocks".  Loved them.  Today, like minicars & hot wheels, LEGO also are hotly pursued collectibles.  I've seen the scalpers in action at Walmart, trying to hijack one of those roll cages from the stocking clerk trying to put them away.  Yikes.

Anywho, today, I wanted to share the cool LEGO cars from Jarrod's collection.  I googled these things & they are not cheap!  I think they start just below $100, then they go up from there.  Let us start off with the LEGO based on the best car ever produced(it's true).

Ferrari F40

As all adults with driver's license know, F40 should have the steering wheel in front of the left seat(I don't want to hear about some custom Brunei Sultan F40s okay lol).  Jarrod's in Australia, land of upside down, so I'm going to let this defect slide this time.  :p

Volkswagen Beetle

Love this Beetle.  Really nice touches with the roof rack & accessories(love that cooler!).

Oh, god.  Sweet stickers.

Mini Cooper

Love the old Mini Cooper.  Sweet color, too.

Volkswagen T1 Camper Van

Another really nice selection by Jarrod.  He has really nice taste.  If Lego made Ford Edge, I'm sure he'll have that in his collection as well(my car lol).  Right Jarrod?

Flatbed Truck

This flatbed's one of my two fav's in here.  OMG, wait for it.....

And there it is.  Bed tilts.  Super awesome.

Caterham Seven 620R

Never been a huge fan of Caterham's, but they are cool, too.  Love those tires.

London Bus

And this one's probably my favorite.  When I was a toddler, buses in my neighborhood looked like this.  One of my dreams as a kid was to ride on the upper deck of the London Bus.  They must be the coolest bus in the world.  Jarrod, this is what I want for my birthday.  Much thanks in advance!  :)

Lower deck & upper deck.

Noice.  *drool*

Hot Wheels Redliners '55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser

If you collect Hot Wheels in America, you know.  Certain castings are hard to find.  I'm not even talking about Treasure Hunts, or $THs.  Certain VWs like T1 Bus, Drag Bus, or certain Skylines, Bluebirds are so popular, they become a magnet for hoarder & scalpers on top of the everyday collectors.  '55 Chevy Gasser is one of those castings.  

Now, you put real riders on one of these things & difficulty level of finding the Gasser multiplies by a hundred(I wish I was kidding lol).  Thanks to Duane, another collector I know on Twitter, I was able to score one after all.  Thank you so much for your help on this, Duane.  :D  

How about them stripes!!
