First 2013 Sneak peaks are up!!! Check this out!

 

[Cano]

Imai had talked about a Celica before. Glad it came trough as good as it looks! Another car to chase next year! And it seems it will come early in the year.

 

[CodeRedR51]

It very well may show up at the next KMart collectors day in November. I think the last K-Day events of the year usually have new cars for the following year.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Just....

Too bad there's no K-Mart anywhere near my area. But patience will prevail and yet someone will be impatient enough on eBay to pay a ridiculous amount.

 

[Nessy]

That Celica is gorgeous!, and it seems i have a reasonable chance of getting my hands on one. (recently got my hands on the BMW 2002, RX7 (albeit in blue), and the Knight 2000..Yay!!).

Check out the new additions to the 2012 Products page. Specifically the Hot Ones series mixes 7 through 10, and Boulevard mix 10. 👍

The new Porsche 935 is in Hotwheels Racing Mix 6.

Nice. Thank you man. 👍

Does Mix "10"(Hot Ones) mean that it's going to be released last?

Hot Ones Mix 6 has couple of VWs I MUST have. Mix 10 has the Subaru Brat & 80's Supra.

You should hook him up. He's always helping others.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I bought an extra KITT today if anyone needs one...

Edit: I think Mix 10 is the last one...

Well frankly i live much further away, so i couldn't even if i wanted to. You know this may seem crazy but i really think they should bring the miata back on the mainline because i honestly like that car as a hot wheel.

Well, good thing this country has the United States Postal Service.

 

[a6m5]

I was gonna say.

Hey, guys. If one of us become the next President of the United States, we need to send Hot Wheels to jail for what they did(see second car). I am not OK with that!

Edit: I think Mix 10 is the last one...

That's what I thought, but I just got done looking at the Boulevard series, and that one also seems to be all over the place. It's like they shuffled new cars with the old cars, or maybe I'm finding the old cars really late in stores or something.

Yea im aware of that but i have never used it and don't know how to use it and probly never will use it unfortunitly

To be honest, I personally find it a hassle to ship anything, but it's really not as bad as you think.

P.S. I bought some of those 'Express Lane' cars. I found one with the name of my favorite grocery store name on the shopping cart. It's even their old name, "Cub Foods"(now Winco Foods), which was a added bonus(because old people likes things that 'takes them back' lol). I appreciate you posting those Express Lanes pics. Very cool Hot Wheel cars! 👍

Edit: Took pics!

 

[Spacegoat]

Some purchase's from a swap meet just outside of town. I originally wasn't going to go, but I had nothing better to do this morning.

Red XB Falcon and Rock 'N' Rescue Holden Ute. So happy, that I didn't have to resort to picking these up for an over inflated price on E-Bay.

and a couple of Matchbox Team Convoy transporter's.

 

[a6m5]

You like Australian cars. I'm not a detective or anything, but I can somehow tell.

I have them too.

You know me too well.

The guy, I got the Falcon and Holden from, also had a $uper Falcon there. I was too scared to ask how much.

Yeah, probably too much, but I bet that car is SWEET in person. I would so want that.

Your welcome! I do love that vehicle very much and i do have some related vehicles i may post here as well, not to mention a complete show stopper. Man im rather jealous for you! You found a old promotional vehicle from years back in a store i never heard of! Good job!👍

 

[MedigoFlame]

Seems like the exciting stuff is coming out later this year. That Ferrari F40... Anyways, some new Hot Ones that would be of interest.

Subaru B.R.A.T. and Toyota Supra. (Apologies if I'm a bit late to the party on this.)

 

[Doog]

Wait a minute...

Actually, Waremart/Cub Foods/Winco, they are my favorite grocery store, but I found this promotional Express Lane on toypeddler website. I think it was $7.99 or something like that with shipping. I also have two standard ones I got from eBay auction, I think for around five bucks. I want to say it was a orange one & a red one. I'm probably gonna have to open one up. Thanks again!

I totally agree with you on the Brat & Supra, but what is up with that F40, and the ugly black two tone!

"Final Fight", that's a video game, right? I've barely looked at the second car, except for the fact that it's a Twin-Mill, car I currently like.

 

[AOS-]

Final Fight is indeed a video game.

 

[a6m5]

How random. Regional grocer chain name on one car, video game name on another?

 

[Takumi Fujiwara]

My thoughts exactly. Why do this nice premium version of the car, and then not paint it in the color that every single F40 left the factory with?

I feel kind of the same way about the 935 too. It's clearly a Moby Dick, so why not paint it anything like the original scheme? I get if they couldn't get rights to the Martini livery, but if nothing else, they could've painted it white with a few small made-up sponsor logos and had something accurate to ways the car appeared.

It kinda bugs me that HW seems to make their main priority adult collectors who want to collect every unique version of a casting. It throws people, both kids and adults, who want them because they're interested in the real cars, under the bus.

 

[CodeRedR51]

You're talking about Mattel here. Usually they can do whatever they want regarding tampos. I don't think the F40 or the 935 look terrible at all....
