Around this part of the world at this time of the year it is really cold outside (about -10 degrees C) and the best thing to do is to stay in the house where its warm and comfy and play with your toys, rearrange your collection, count them, see what your missing and what you need to add more.
I have done exactly the same and i also found some castings that i still had them in their packaging, i found a storing place for them and decided to let them free out of their plastic prison.
I have my loose cars stored by car model or type so that they can be easier to find when needed. You know how it is when someone asks you about a specific casting or you want to find it fast for some other reason and you forget in what box you put it and you start looking and searching, of course you usually find it in the last place you look for it, so its always good to keep them arranged.
First i picked the cars i wanted to crack open (term used for the action of opening/breaking the packaging) and then i started bringing them to fresh air and light one by one, having a closer look at the details while out of the packaging. Of course i have my own way of opening them ...
... because i want to keep the card intact, i like to keep the artwork on the card intact so i use a knife and cut the blister just like shown in the picture. If you use the same method please do with care to not cut yourself.
It is a real pleasure setting them loose and feel them, play with them. When you start opening them, you just keep going wanting to open more and more so at some point i noticed the mess i made ...
... fantasy casting (yes i do like those a lot), a few variations of RocketFire, Paradigm Shift, Nitro Doorslammer and Retro-Active and also a few realistic ones like Lamborghini Aventador and Ferrari 458 Spider. It is always good to enjoy the combination of realistic and fantasy models.
After opening about 12 of them i decided its good to stop for now and save some for a later time, also i had a storing concern, i am close to full on storing space...
... so these casting where saved for another time. That Kitt also wanted to get out, but i passed on it. I have other Bone Shakers already loose, just like Custom Volkswagen Beetle and the Blast Lane motorcycle looks better in the packaging.
In the end these are some of the castings i cracked open today, they really enjoy the fresh air and me playing with them. I will add them to their new storing place until next time when they're going to be played with again.
Hope you also had some good time with your Hot Wheels lately.
***What was the last casting you cracked opened ??***
