Greenlight All Terrain Series 4

      They are back and so am I! This time we can't be too disappointed, can we? I mean look at the selection!
How about I put them in order of my favorite to least favorite?

1. 2017 Dodge Ram 2500. This will be the second release of this new casting. First one being in red with black. I picked this one as my favorite because it looks amazing. This actually could be a Sema style truck. It looks perfect for off road. The previous Dodge Ram trucks got nothing on this new one!

2. 2015 Chevy Silverado. This beauty is back and look great in this color! Don't get me wrong, but the colors beforehand weren't as beautiful as this one. although, I would love to see this casting in black bandit series.

3. 1941 Military 1/2 ton 4x4. We all know why this one came 3rd. Look at those flames! The truck overall has an amazing appearance to it.

4. 1977 Ford Bronco. This casting would have been #3 if it wasn't for the beefy tires on the 41. This Bronco is probably the best one released by Greenlight to date.

5 and 6 of course are the two keeps. Don't get me wrong, they aren't that bad looking. They aren't models I'm excited about. I think lately there have been on Jeep over kills with Greenlight and Matchbox. Maybe something new next time around to go with the 2017 Dodge Ram? Overall, this series isn't bad. I might as well get a case for myself and pick up an extra Ram! Can't wait to see this hit the stores!  

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.

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!

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.
