M2 Machines Moon Pie "Merry Christmas" Auto-Haulers 1960 Ford C600 + 1949 Studebaker 2R Truck

m2 christmas holiday auto haulers

I saw these at Walmart today.  I almost pulled the trigger.  They had two of each, probably a complete case or something, but no chase.  If they had chase, I would've probably picked it up.  I already have one from last year, so I passed on this one.

Sweet design as usual.  Some of these M2 Auto-Haulers are just so fun & so beautiful.  Their design team really have great taste.

I was curious which vehicle came inside, so I got on M2 website and found this:

Super chase would be amazing.  One I have is the red one from last year & I still prefer that one over these.  Can't remember which C.O.E. it had, but the pickup truck inside was same Studebaker.  If you have Walmart nearby, I strongly recommend picking these up.  I think they generally sell for $17.

Hot Wheels RLC: 2010 Japan Custom Car Show "Phil Riehlman" 2-Pack feat. '65 Volkswagen Fastback & VW Drag Bus

If you are like me, you are going "so is this an RLC, or Japan Show?"  

Hot Wheels RLC: 2010 Japan Custom Car Show "Phil Riehlman" 2-Pack feat. '65 Volkswagen Fastback & VW Drag Bus

According to the information I found here, it was planned for Japan Show, but something happened, it somehow fell through, and was later sold by the Red Line Club.  If it's on the internet, it's legit amirite(I'm kidding, take it for what it is lol).

I got mine from TTP for $68(shipped).  Pics:

Hot Wheels Gran Turismo Ford GT, Nissan Concept 2020 Vision GT & 2009 NIssan GT-R

"Hi, my name is meh, this is my brother meh & that's my other brother meh."

lol

Gran Turismo is one of my all-time favorite games.  I got bored with it many years ago, but I still have a soft spot for it.  I also came to collecting hot wheels from Gran Turismo dedicated site called GTPlanet, which I still visit daily.  

I'm a hot wheels collector, really like their real rider cars(rubber tires), but for me personally, even the "G.T." branding couldn't make this one all that exciting unfortunately.    

2009 Nissan GT-R
Casting and/or stance looks off, ugly wheels(IMO).

Nissan Concept 2020 VGT
This one's at least interesting.  I don't like the new wheels, but if you like this car, and don't collect TLV, I think it's almost worth $5.50 they charge for this.

Big fan of this car(my 1/18), but honestly, really burned out on it.  I think the one dollar version would've been fine.

This one's refined.  It was a "filler" for my order from Japan Booster, but man, I am impressed.

GreenLight 1967 Ford Mustang + Hitch & Tow 2015 F-150 Gulf Oil & Enclosed Car Hauler

I know that factory blemish is almost expected with GreenLight these days.  By my observation, quality control has gone from bad to worse, which is unfortunate.  Way this thing is beat up straight out of its blister, maybe it's the distressed Walking Dead version. lol

I realize that Gulf livery's been done to death.  Enclosed trailer's cool though.  I'm just sorry about the low quality of these cars.  Design & detailing's rough looking on the F-150, and chips & gaps makes Mustang look like it was in a minor wreck.  Gah.
