Hot Wheels Finds - Batmobile and Marco Reus Car

   Welcome back Hot Wheels collectors. Here preparations for the Christmas holiday are done and toys are everywhere in the stores including our cool cars that we like to collect. We have the A and B mixes and i managed to find a few cars i was after, especially the new model for 2014 Aston Martin 1963 DB5. I wasn't so lucky with the Treasure Hunts for the B mix so far, but i have high hopes i can find it until another mix arrives. In this mix there is also a casting that represents Marco Reus, a German football player from Borrusia Dortmund. Other cars i found this time, the newest Batman Batmobile and two color variations of the Retro-Active (the other one is the A mix green variation).

Marco Reus is a German football player

The stores look great with all the toys, all the Hot Wheels mainline cars, track sets, packs, play sets and other products and it is a wonder to spend time there and look at them, analyze and choose which to buy and take with you home.

Thank you for reading and let me know in the comments section below, how does your stores look like in this time of the year ?

Happy hunting and have a great time collecting these awesome toy cars.

Hot Wheels Cereals Games

   Hello collectors, my name is Johnny and in this post i want to show you some offers that cereals here have with Hot Wheels games. I don't buy or eat cereals myself that much anymore, but i look for every Hot Wheels product out there and i also have a nephew that still eats cereals and this was the perfect combination to satisfy both of us.

Unlocking cars by leveling up

These are the latest cereals with Hot Wheels games (PC games) here and as you can see in the pictures there are three games to collect, Street Drift, Rubble Ruckus and Dockyard Destruction. These games came with the Cookie Crisp cereals from Nestle. There are no high end graphics on these games and they're very easy to play, also not requiring installation, they run directly from your optical drive (CD-Rom, DVD-Rom etc.). The games are also very easy and it has quite a few cars to choose from, at the beginning you only have one car, but you can unlock more while leveling up. The gameplay is also very simple and it can easily be played with the keyboard. The games also have power-ups that can be picked up while driving.

System Requirement on the back

 System Requirements : Windows Xp, Vista ,7; CPU – P4 2.66 Ghz; RAM – 1 Gb; resolution 800x600; GPU – 3D compatible DirectX 9. MAC Osx 10.4; Intel CPU; RAM – 1 Gb; resolution 800x600. For both platforms 12x optical drive (CD-Rom or DVD-Rom), mouse and keyboard.

Team Hot Wheels drivers logo

These games are older than the previous ones and they came with the Cini Minis cereals also from Nestle. There were also three games to collect, Baja, Moto X and Drift. All the games have the Team Hot Wheels drivers logo and theme and the Cookie Crisp ones also have the Night Racer theme. The graphics for these games are about the same, while the gameplay differ and these three are not so good here, the controls are to sensitive and sometimes hard to control and they also have a difficulty setup. Not requiring installation and it can be played directly from your optical drive.

These games are older than the previous ones

 System Requirements : Windows Xp SP2, Vista or 7; CPU – Intel P4; RAM – 512 MB; GPU – 3D compatible DirectX 9. Mac OSX v10.4; CPU – PowerPC G5 or Intel; RAM – 512 Mb. Both platform requiring a 24x optical drive (CD-Rom or DVD-Rom) and a mouse and keyboard.

Thank you for reading guys, for more details about the games, graphics, gameplay or any other info. please leave a comment below and I can give it to you or I can make another post with pictures from the games and more details.

Hot Wheels Finds - the First 2014 Treasure Hunt

 

In the Mix A there are Still a Few 2013 Cars



Love the Colour Combination on the Prototype H-24

  Welcome back to my blog. This is going to be a short post about my latest Hot Wheels finds. As always in the beginning of the new Hot Wheels serie for each year we get the mix A very fast and usualy I can find everything I want in my collection from that mix. This time it happened the same and I managed to find the cars in the pictures and also the first 2014 Treasure Hunt , Subaru WRX STI. Every A mix has also the last 2013 cars and I also managed to find a few from last year's line.

New Short Cards Design and Artwork

Also the new year brought us the new graphics and artwork on the cards , which compared to the ones from last year these ones look alot better , more clear and clean , the colours are brighter and the biggest difference comes with the Team Hot Wheels Drivers graphics that are not on the sides of the cards anymore , now they take just a small place on top of the Hot Wheels logo (you can see the comparison in the pics). This time you can see the car graphics on the card very well and I must say because of that I didn't like the last years artwork at all. This year I really love the choices they made.

Enjoy the pictures , let me know what is your opinion about the card graphics and artwork in the comment section below and feel free to follow my blog anytime if you find it informative and enterteining. I also made a video for my youtube channel and if you like videos more than images you can take a look HERE. Thanks for reading , happy collecting and have a great day.

Hot Wheels 5 Packs


 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. In this new post I want to show you six Hot Wheels 5 packs that I have in my collection and with this occasion I want to ask you guys, you think that 5 packs are collectibles ? Leave a comment and let me know what is your opinion, I personally think they are, besides the fact that they are very nicely arranged in an order in the pack, most of them, or how they used to be in the past are in exclusive color variations for the pack, different than what the mainline version offer.

The bad part of these packs is that not all the cars in them are the ones you want , not all the cars are the ones you want to collect. As much as I know the 5 packs are intended for children , were they just rip them off , play with the cars and that's why usually the car selection is so different.

For example : a 5 pack can have 2 sport cars , 1 van , 1 chopper and 1 muscle car. As you can see in my example the variety of cars is not particularly for a collector , that probably only collects the sport cars , muscle car or just one of the others.

Nissan 350Z & Dodge Challenger Drift Car

"Nightburnerz" serie

Powerfull sports car

Also known as Nissan Z

    Nissan 350Z

  This wonderfull car from Nissan is a sports car that turns my head everytime i see it on the streets or in any parking lot. In the Hot Wheels line-up was first time introduced in 2006 , in the "First Editions" serie and it is , offcourse based on the real world car , that also had the name "Nissan Z".

It has been released in many colour variation , yellow , black , blue , silver and many others. It has only been released in the mainline serie and never in a special serie. This particular model from the pictures above is the 2011 release in the "Nightburnerz" serie , in white colour and red&black splash tampo with the sponsor logo , grey chasis , white interior and gold J5 wheels.

Unfortunately it is the only casting i have in my collection , but i'm defenetly going to be with my eyes opened for more variations of these and maybe in the future also a Treasure Hunt.



Nice detailed artwork

Real world vehicle



"Formula Drift" racing series

    Dodge Charger Drift Car

 This is one casting many of us know and probably also part of many collections. The Dodge Challenger Drift Car was first time released in 2011 , in the "New Models" serie and it's based of the real world vehicle from the "Formula Drift" racing series. There have only been released six variations so far , white , blue , green , red and combination of these colours. Theyr all mainlines and in 2013 also a Treasure Hunt. The car in the pictures above is from 2012 , "Code Cars" serie , red colour and Mopar Racing artwork , black chasis , grey interior and PR5 wheels. It is also the only model of this car that i have in my collection and more variations would be nice to have.
