newest acquisitions:

[flipwilson]

Some newer stuff and some older stuff. I need to hang all the rest of my cars up. I just picked up the rhino bus and green goblin cruiser from the spiderman line yesterday too.

[Frank Richards]

Finally found a Homer !



Also, I keep seeing those Star Trek vehicles from the Pop Culture line, but as much as I love Star Trek, I just can't bring myself to buy those. I love the art (which I assume is from the old Gold Key comics) on them, but they just don't appeal to me. I think I'd just rather buy replicas of the ships from Star Trek, instead of classic panel vans with ST art on them, lol.
Cool idea, and I although I like my DC Pop Culture vehicles, those just aren't for me.

My area seems to have hit a Hot Wheels drought lately, and I haven't had as much time to hunt, but I just happened to spot this guy at TrU while looking for the new X-Men Marvel Legends.
I still haven't spotted Snoopy either, and lol, I honestly think I'm even more eager to get him than I was The Homer.

[bmorr]

same here. havent found the snoopy one either.

Congrats! I was lucky enough to find one myself last week. I even found a second one for a co-worker who's into the TV-themed HW.

Agreed on Star Trek, although I just haven't been able to get into any of the Pop Culture series for the same reason. Give me replicas of the vehicles from the movie/show and I'm a happy camper. Must be why I'm into the Retro Entertainment line so much.

Snoopy's next on my list too. Hopefully, he will be easier to pick up than the Homer.

[Frank Richards]

Finally found the USS Vengeance, but still lacking Snoopy.

[Lamentations07]

Must find Snoopy, The Homer, and the U.S.S. Vengeance! I haven't been able to look around as much but my normal places are wiped clean. Glad to see you guys found a few of them!

[trebleshot]

I haven't seen anything new since The Homer, and I've been checking on a regular basis.

supposedly the james bond car is next out, and i havent seen him.

I did find the BSG cylcon raider at burlington coat factory of all places.

For those with any interest in the new Marvel Hot Wheels, I spotted Cap, Thor, Spidey, and Iron Man at TRU and Target today.
I didn't snap a pic myself, but here's a pic courtesy of BBTS:

Marvel Hot Wheels 1:64 Scale Character Car Series 01 - Case of 12 - Marvel Comic Products Hot Wheels

Personally, I had to pass on these. I wasn't a fan of this type of design when Mattel made those DC vehicles in this style either.
Actually, I take that back. I liked the Green Lantern vehicle, since it was basically a ring construct of a fighter jet (but with wheels).

[bmorr]

yeah those do nothing for me.

[trebleshot]

They looked cool on the pegs, but that's about as far as I'm willing to go with them (both the DC and Marvel cars).

Full disclosure: I almost bought a Harley Quinn-themed HW once, simply because it had a Harley deco (like the Star Trek ones). The completionist side of me saw it and said "Must have all things Harley Quinn". Then Practical Me b****-slapped Completionist Me and said "No. You only get away with that s*** if it's Soundwave."

....it was an odd day in the toy aisle.

LOL ! Yeah... I actually gave in and bought the Harley Quinn milk truck and Supergirl delivery van from the HW Nostalgia line.
I'm not proud of it though
I really like those two characters, and although I wasn't a fan of the concept, I too let my completionist mentality get the better of me.

Nice! Those Corgi Batmobiles were absolutely outstanding.
To this day, I still regret not buying them when they were in stores. I think that I overcompensated with Mattel's larger-scale Batmobile Hot Wheels a few years ago in order to make up for not buying the Corgis a decade ago.

I've always largely preferred the Batmobiles from the various Batman movies and animated series, so the Hot Wheels line turned out to be a better fit for me anyways.
However, I'd still like to add some Corgis to my collection though. Maybe some day soon, I'll pick up a few on ebay.

[Defzombie]

I found that corgi batmobile at a thrift store some months ago...and its bigger than 1/64 scale. Its also in great condition for being used

[bmorr]

I constructed a custom shelf jsut for my hotwheels:

I finally found a couple of Snoopys a couple of days ago, but more importantly, I found some important info concerning the upcoming 2014 Kroger Halloween exclusive Hot Wheels !

I haven't found any official news or confirmations, but these are popping up on Ebay:
Ghostbusters Ecto 1 Hot Wheels 2014 Halloween | eBay

Personally, I'm ecstatic about this Ecto-1. I missed out on the 2012 Kroger Halloween Ecto-1 repaint, because I didn't even know this line even existed until a few days before Halloween in 2012. However, I was lucky enough to have found the 2012 Halloween Batmobile. I was kinda hoping for another Halloween Batmobile this year as well, but maybe we'll get one next year.

[mentos888]

Halloween set hasn't shown up in any stores around here, but the Ecto-1 looks great!

[Frank Richards]

Ecto-1 !!!



I found it at Kroger today, and while there were plenty of the others from the 2014 Halloween wave, this was the only Ecto-1 I saw.
