Last 24 hours has been very good Hot Wheels wise -

[Frank Richards]

Looks like the "2015" Hot Wheels have already begun to hit stores !!!
I found this repaint of the '89 Burton Batmobile at Wal-Mart tonight:



I'm not a huge fan of the red piping, but it is a nice homage to the many other Batmobiles that have similar red stripes.

I already have the normal one, so thats a pass for me. Are they making any new tv show cars for next year? I checked out the wiki for the listings for next years cars and they are just cramming out previous releases.

In the Retro Entertainment series, or the main line ?
So far, all they have announced in the main line are re-releases, but they have teased a couple of things like a new 2015 Batmobile and new vehicles in the "Tooned" category, but no specifics so far.

For the Retro Entertainmant line, I haven't heard of many upcoming vehicles. Towards the end of 2014, there should be a wave that is rumored to have the Ghostbusters II Ecto-1, the 1989 Batmobile, and the Delorean from BTTF III, along with another James Bond vehicle.
Hopefully we'll get some more info soon on the 2015 waves.
I honestly wouldn't mind if Mattel started to re-release vehicles form the earlier waves. The Retro Entertainment line is so tough to find, and in my area, if you a miss a specific vehicle, it's a strong possibility that you won't ever see it, since the stores never seem to restock the same wave twice. They just move on to the next wave a few weeks/months later.

This new 2014 Batmobile sub-line, commemorating Batman's 75th Anniversary, came as a complete surprise to me.

Unfortunately, they are all re-releases, and there was nothing new or notable. A few had some slight re-decoes, but that was about it.

Many of them even had packaging similar to the last Batmobile sub-line, except for that the 75th Anniversary emblem in the upper right corner, so before anyone assumes that I'm posting pics of that last Batmobile sub-line, check out the upper right corner, lol.

I guess this is a good thing for those who don't already have these Batmobiles, especially the 60's ere Batmobile, but these were all a pass for me.





Sorry for the awful pics, but the night stocking crew was working in the area and I didn't want to get in their way, and I also didn't want to explain why I was taking pics of their Hot Wheels, lol.

Oh yeah, for those who are interested in this line, if memory serves, it includes:
- '66 Batmobile
- The Batman Batmobile (with yellow stripe instead of previous blue and red)
- Brave and the Bold Batmobile
- Arkham Asylum Batmobile
- Batcopter
- Batman Live Batmobile
- The Bat
- "Hardnoze" Batmobile

I didn't see the '66 Batmobile, or The Bat, but they were listed on the back of the packaging. The only one I saw but didn't get pics of was the "Hardnoze" version of the '89 Batmobile.

I'll double-check the next time I'm at Wal-Mart to be sure that I didn't forget any others.

I have most of those cars, but, damn, those card backs look goooood. I'll probably pick them up if i see them.

Friend found these for me

[Frank Richards]

I spotted the Hot Wheels Pop Culture Marvel wave at Target today, but passed on them:

[Frank Richards]

Here are my finds for October :







I just found Marty's truck from BttF a couple of days ago, and I am VERY excited about it. It only had brief appearances in the trilogy, but as a kid, I was enamored with that truck nearly as much as I was with the Delorean.

Lol, it's a shame that the Hot Wheels version isn't actually an '85 extended cab SR5 like Marty's, but, well, it's close enough, I guess

[Frank Richards]

It's been a while since I've picked up any HW or Matchbox cars, but I had two very exciting finds today !



I'd been kicking myself for quite some time for not snagging a Jeep Hurricane last time it was available, so I was excited to find a repaint of it today.
Even more exciting is the Ford Bronco I found at a local shop. I recently realized that my collection was completely devoid of any Broncos, so that truck has been on the top of my list since then.

nice review bro..

[Frank Richards]

I have plenty of the re-paints of this Batmobile, but today, at a local shop, I found the original purple and black version from '04 !

[flipwilson]

I posted about this in the "things you just got" thread, but I found 6 of the 8 new star wars cars. It was a shock since I didn't even know they were coming out, but they're all pretty damned awesome.

[juggernaut209]

Yeah love the art for the Star Wars cars. I picked up the set of 8 last week.

I've only spotted 6 of the 8 so far, and I'm still on the fence about picking those up.
Initially, I thought that I would grab the cars for Eps. IV-VI, as well as the Clone Wars and Rebels cars, but something about them just doesn't appeal to me.
I've never been a fan of the more ostentatious Hot Wheels design, and these are basically that type of Hot Wheel, just with Star Wars logos/emblems/insignia placed on them somewhere.

If the vehicles themselves had more of a Star Wars aesthetic, I'd pick them up, but personally, I feel as if the packaging is the most attractive thing about this line.
But, at about $1 each, I can see myself giving in and picking these up at some point soon.

[Frank Richards]

I saw quite a few Retro Entertainment Homers and Lotuses while hunting today. Check out the "Look What I Passed Up" thread for pics.

my car run for the first week of the month

Photo fucket

[Defzombie]

Found these at a local thrift store a few weeks ago. Missing a few parts, but I cant complain for $3. I already have one of the hummers, so now I have 3. Great additions to my movie car collection.

my last 3 weeks

Has anyone seen the new 1:64 scale Batmobile from the latest video game?

the ARKHAM Knight

no i haven’t in the wild,
but online yes, a few have gotten their hands on one

its coming out in case G i think
so it hasn’t hit mass retail just yet
just overseas mainly and a very few locations stateside

cases E and F are jus now making their rounds so...
plus my area is still getting in old cases so it be awhile for me
before i see it in the “metal plastic flesh”

[Frank Richards]

Pretty excited about finding these Supernatural cars today!
I still haven't found the '70 Charger yet, but I'm pretty excited about the '70 Challenger.

I also saw Greenlight Collectibles' Supernatural "Film Reel" set, but even at only $25, I just wasn't feeling it. Maybe I'll have a change of heart and pick one up.







I also grabbed this Ford Bronco a few weeks back (I used to love Broncos when I was younger), but have been waiting until I found some other cars to post it with.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I spotted about a dozen more Homers and Lotuses from the Retro Entertainment line while on a fairly expansive hunt today. I hope that the next wave is as easy to find in my area, because I really want the Ecto-1A from that wave.

The Arkham Knight Batmobile is in E cases. There's an orange HW Showdown logo on the top of the card back to the left of the J hook on those. I found that and a repaint of the 89 Batmobile that is iridescent and has yellow pinstripes. It's in F cases and round speedometer logo next to the J hook. It's just a repaint, but it's only a dollar so I bought one anyway.

[midwmaniac]

just seen this thread and kinda new here and was wondering if any of you collect the m2 line?
