Hot Wheels Car Culture "Door Slammers" Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA/'70 Ford Escort RS1600/BMW 2002

I got weak today.  Swung by Hot Wheels at Target while there to pick up oven mitts.  These weren't new releases, but it was the first time I saw Alfa Giulia on the pegs & I've had a crush on this real life car for long time. 

I also really liked three other (real life)cars like the Alfa Romeo above:  BMW 2002, Mk I Escort & Datsun 510, and imagine that, those four cars are in this set, also Porsche 911.

I didn't buy this 2002 though.  Not a fan of this casting.  Always looked awkward & ugly-ish to me.  Escort casting looks good, Alfa looks good & 510's popular for reason.  Beautiful casting that one.

This Escort is the one I kept on seeing at Target.  While it's done beautifully, I was able to fight it off until today.  It came home with me tonight, along with the Alfa.

I actually put the cars back on the pegs, because they didn't have the Datsun 510(a shocker).... but then, I was like, don't you already have one of those?  AND I like this one lot better anyway.  :p

X4 ignition model Pandem R35 GT-R + HobbyJapan Honda Integra Type-R(Championship White)

I only know their 1/64 line, but ignition model never ceases to amaze.  So much quality in such a tiny scale.  I have four colors to share with you guys today:

Green Metallic

White

Red Metallic

My favorite: Matte Gray

This one tagged along: HobbyJapan Integra Type-R

Hard to see in this pic, but the wheels are all white.  I wish they painted between spokes black considering the price point($20+).

Tarmac Works illest "Super Nine" RWB 993

I saw preorder for this.... Maybe on Twitter, maybe on Instagram.  I want to say from the account of master customizer Joe-san.  Anywho, with shipping, it was $34.90, direct from Tarmac Works.  I got it today, it was preordered on August 30th, so it took little over 4 months.  TOTALLY WORTH IT:

It looks so sweet.  There was something rattling around inside the case & I was fearfully looking for broken part loose inside?  It was the "limited edition" card with serial # printed on it.  #MONEY
