At a Kroger Store near you is the 2014 Halloween exclusives. The cars and card art is a must have for the theme collector. The card art shows a Rigor Motor speeding away from a haunted house with a full moon, bats, a howling wolf, Jack O’Lanterns and a zombie-crossing sign. It’s everything you need in a Halloween scene. This years five ghoulish assortment  includes the: Ghostbusters ECTO-1, Bone Shaker, Rigor Motor, Gangster Grin, and ’57 Plymouth Fury.

Watch your “P” and “Q” cases at Walmart some of the local “Dump Bins” received the normal 648 count “P” cases and some received 288 “Q” case bins. Not all of the Q assortment were in these cases and of course no ZAMACs. “P” case cars are already updated  to the listed and Q cases will follow shortly. There has been a couple of notable variations to report. The mf red Twin Mill III has been found with os5 wheels and what seems to be the harder version with fan5 wheels. The Ferrari 5-Pack Ferrari F40 now has a closed rear-engine cover and a plastic base. Three more “Truckin’ Transporter”  another Impavido 1 and two new colors of the Nitro Doorslammers. 2014 is finishing up and soon I should have some of the 2015 line ups listed.

A lot has been going on in the last couple of weeks. N cases have been added along with the latest round of Pop Culture and Cool Classics. There is also 2 new 5-packs and it seems the gold wheels that replaces the yellow wheels on 5-packs are a short run and have gone back to yellow. Found another Workshop Custom Design Kit 3 graphic design play set containing a green Shoe Box.

Just received my San Diego Comic Con releases and had to share pictures of the cars loose.

Just found at Target! Purple Passion fans might want to be on the look out for this Workshop kit. There are two kits available, Kit 2 includes a pearl white Purple Passion with red 5 spokes, purple interior and purple windows.  The other car in Kit 2 is a pearl white Muscle Tone with yellow 10 spokes red interior and clear windows. Kit 1 includes a Pearl white Cool one and a pearl white Surfin’ School Bus. The cars in these sets are void of any graphics so you can decorate the cars with the special decal sheets. Color Reveal decals sheets are included to apply the cars and with a special pen you can reveal the design. Check out the playset page for more.
