K-Day Hot Wheels Collectors Day Event

It's that time of the year again!


Have you placed your order for your cases? I know I have! The reason I buy cases are for review and/or if I cannot make it to the event. Another reason, Kmart has been closing stores left and right. A lot of collectors and scalpers then go to other stores where there might not be enough cases to go around. 

*Update* New list of closing Kmart stores shows my local Kmart near my new house will be closing!

That sucks, oh well.

Excuse me Mattel, can Target hold these events? Before you know it, there won't be any Kmarts. Might as well give it to Target. Why Target? Well lets look at Toys R Us first. They put the stuff out on the pegs. How is that a fair shot at something interesting? Walmart, employees are always hiding stuff for the "collectors." Target on the other hand seems to be more fair when it comes to hot wheels.

First to Market -

Not bad at all! If you can make it to the events, good luck! If not, go to kmart.com and order yourself a case or few.  The event is Sept. 24, 2016.

Have fun collecting!

GreenLight Hitch and Tow Series 7

Welcome Back,

Greenlight Hitch and Tow Series 7 is out! This is an amazing series! Mainly because the castings aren't bad at all.

I ordered two cases! Both cases were different. One case will be posted below and the other was posted on my YouTube Channel; Martinsdiecastreview.

 Here we go!

The Dodge Ram looks great! Black and blue go great together! I'd love to see the 2016 Dodge Charger in black with blue stripes.

Ford Explorer came out looking great. It would be nice to see this model return in NYPD colors!

Probably the best model in this case! Glad there were two so I can open one up!

Gulf cars from Greenlight. Keep them coming!

Chevy Silverado looks better than it did in the series before. Eye candy!

I'll open one of these for sure!

I was lucky enough to get a Green Machine in my other case! Below is a picture of the Ram Green Machine I found a few days before.

Have fun collecting!

Not so Popular Castings

Welcome Back!


       We all know those castings that no one likes. They are usually the ones that sit on the pegs for the longest time. It seems like every toy maker has them. Below pictured are some of the ones I've seen.


Most recently, I've found this casting and decided to have a little fun. Look how many I've found! 9 but I'll correct myself. I actually found 10. I missed one on the bottom.

 

Here are some other examples I've taken from my Instagram!


This release of the redlines sat on the pegs for a while. I don't think any of the models from the case were popular. It seemed that the Blazer was the least favorite.



Retro Entertainment models that don't sell. A lot of these are still sitting on pegs. It's a shame.

Even Matchbox has some castings that don't sell. Lucky for us, these are gone. Maybe some crazy collector bought them?





The first release of Jeeps....Those didn't move. Why? They weren't exclusive models. The second releases were. All my stores are out of them. Overall, generic models don't sell. Don't get me started on Jurassic World. Those models didn't even want to move...

Few others;
GreenLight -US Army International Box Truck.

Racing Champs - Everything but chase pieces.

M2 - VW buses from Fathers day 2015.



* Tell us below what sits on your pegs! *

Greenlight GM Collection Seres 1.

Take a look at the latest from Greenlight! Who isn't fans of the Corvette or Camaro? Well, never mind. There are people who aren't fans, but these look to be worth collecting! The series might turn out to be great. Maybe a Silverado next series?  So many possible castings in the future. I'll be getting a case of this series!

I'm really liking the new Camaro. Here are future releases of it!

 This one is currently out and is a hobby exclusive! The red makes it stick out more!

Check out the new Camaro convertible!

 Future release of the Black Bandit! I'll post the rest of that series another day!

Bumblebee, is that you hiding in the future line up? I'm not sure but this casting looks great!


Hope you liked this look into future releases. Maybe Greenlight will make a Ford or Dodge collection. Have fun collecting!
