New card art for 2014

A new logo design for 2014. This rendering lost the 3-D look and the real flame design. It’s now a simple logo design that looks to be a throwback from the 80’s. For 2014 there will be 250 models again

Live Nation, Retro Entertainment and Boulevards

Just received a package from A&J Toys caulk full for new series cars. There is no disappointing casting in these three selections. Although some of the models in the Retro line are not exact to the original series cars but they do represent the era and the style of the cars of that time. One of my favorites is the ’71 Plymouth Satellite station wagon. I believe there were about 5 different station wagons were used in the series and this one doesn’t match any of them.  It is done up in true Hot Wheels style with a shaker hood and large rear tires. Greg must of gotten his hands on it when Mike and Carol were away for the weekend. As for the Boulevards, I’m sad to see this series end. The last of this series did give us 3 great new castings for future enjoyment. I hope they use them ...

Finally the Flood Gates have Opened.

Just posted new 5-packs, multi-pack only cars, Pop Cultue and Flying Customs. Take a look. After a long drought here in the Midwest we are now seeing new product on the shelves here at Walmart. Trackin’ Trucks, new Jukebox with Sam Walton Ford F-150, mutli-pack exclusives, new 5-pack and K case dump bins. The most startling thing is the lack of super and regular hunts in these cases. Could it be the black market and eBay are making it harder to find these in the wild at stores. Over 40 cases opened by friends in the area and a total of 3 bent card supers found. This also the reports on the boards too. Here is a couple of shots of the new Trackin’ Trucks. Look at the other pages for new  product to be posted soon.
