Blog a Day #21

Hello everyone, how are you? One of the things I never mentioned is that I collect Hot Wheels cars. I just buy like pop culture stuff from movies or Batmobiles, which are my favorites to collect. They are really easy to collect since they are 99 cents. Well here is my Hot Wheels collection, oh an the smaller images contain links. So click them if you want to see an enlarged version of the image.

This is pop culture and Batmobile collection. I have the DeLorean from Back to the Future, the A Team Van, 2 Arkham Asylum Batmobiles, the Arkham Knight Batmobile, the 66 Batmobile, the Bat from The Dark Knight Rises, Batmobile from Batman Live and that Mario car was from my birthday a few years ago. I have 2 Asylum ones because one of them doesn't have the logo from the game if you look closely. There's an Ecto-1 as well but I have never been able to actually find it at a store.

I also sometimes buy some random ones if I like them. Those "Cars of the Decades" are from the 99cents Store. I have a feeling that they didn't originally cost 99 cents before ending up there. But they feature some really sweet artwork and font from those eras. The truck was a birthday present from last year actually. That AE86 was a random find at a 99cents store once but I grabbed it immediately as soon as I saw it because I love that car.

Here is a comparison to the Hot Wheels AE86 with the Takara Tomy Tomica Dream series AE86 from the Initial D anime. There's a white AE86 from Hot Wheels that is inspired by the colors and style of the anime but I've never seen it in person and it's really expensive if you want to buy it off a site like amazon or ebay.

And last but not least is the Mach 5 from the Speed Racer movie. My little brother gave it to me many years ago. Not sure how much those Speed Racer cars are worth since I usually don't bother looking up prices or anything, but remember 99cents stores had a bunch of them years ago.

And that's my Hot Wheels collection. It isn't a lot but I just buy whatever I see. Don't really worry about one that is coming out that I might not get. If I find it at a store then that's good. If I don't well that's okay too. Not getting worked over a toy that's a dollar. And that's all for now, thanks for reading and...
