Hot Wheels RLC "Holiday Hauling" Hiway Hauler

For the holiday season, I will be sharing few "Holiday/Christmas" cars, and right off the bat is my favorite:  Holiday Hauling Hiway Hauler from the Hot Wheels Red Line Club.

I'm not a fan of the Hiway Hauler casting or anything, but there are couple that I like, and this one, I absolutely love.  You will see what I mean in the last picture.  P.S.  5,500 of these were sold.

  I hope you enjoy the pics(don't forget about the last pic lol).

Can you believe that?  Colorful boxes of presents in the back.  My hats off to you, Mattel!

Hot Wheels RLC '55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser "Candy Striper"

I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't sure if I was going to uncard this one.  It took little courage.  Okay, I actually just said #$%* it.  :D

-TEN-

Front is not "TEN".  I brought it up here, too.  With better front treatment, it would've been one of my all-time favorite casting, if not "the" favorite.  I seem to be the only one bothered by this though.  I've never seen anybody else bring it up.  *shrug*

Check out the candy cane-like seats!!!

After Lamley Post hyping up the artistic value of the card, I had to save it.  :)

Hot Wheels RLC 2011 Selections Blown Delivery

This may be my first RLC car(Red Line Club).  #'d to 9408, not at all a rare release these days, but in my earlier days of collecting, it took me sometime to convince myself to spend the kind of dough required to buy something like this.  I didn't know anything about RLC, or serial #'d releases.  *goes onto TTP website to see how much I actually paid*  Okay, I paid $27.50(shipped).  I love its style, and I LOVE the Spectraflame paint job.

I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure this casting's exclusive to RLC & conventions.  It's pretty much exclusive only to the collectors.

Hot Wheels Subaru BRAT + Back to the Future Time Machine - Hover Mode DeLorean

Couple of cars I've picked up recently, starting with this BRAT.

Digging the modern Subie-blue livery.

Whey lean, hover-mode Delorean?

Bad axle(see top right wheel).

Spin Master NASCAR Authentics Memorable Moments: Kyle Bush Toyota Camry + Joey Logano Ford Fusion

I'm not a NASCAR guy.  When Toyota joined the race few years back, I did get lukewarm towards it.  If it's on TV, I may watch for bit, but I still don't follow them or anything.  

Now, I've seen these 1/64 NASCAR cars(single, carded) at Walmart, and I like Camrys & Fusions, but since I'm not a fan or anything, I never spent $6 on one.  Yesterday however, I notice these Greenlight diorama type packaging & they featured two cars for $6.  I was on board at that price, so I picked up the set that featured Camry & Fusion.  No offense, but I'm glad I didn't spend $6 a piece on these.

On each side are the slick looking trading cards.  Neat packaging, it was easy to open & detach the cars.

 

NASCAR, plastic base, wheels that sticks in & out loose like cheap hot wheels(axle shaft's too long), etc., etc., these cars don't do too much for me.  This set for $6 though, not bad.  Camry either have a dent, or misplaced tampo that makes it appear as though it has a dent on the right side(passenger side) of the front grille?  Maybe they replicated the collision damage from the race(harhar).
