HW Cap & Tee

I discovered last night that K-Mart is now selling a Hot Wheels adult-sized ball cap, and swooped by pick one up, then discovering a t-shirt was available as well. Mattel finally realized that some of us men are proud to share our enthusiasm for the popular toy cars! Above, the cap pictured with my new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat....

Tomica World Put off Convoy

This Tomica World Put off Convoy won't hold but a fraction of my Tomica diecast collection, but it was too cool not to buy! After a few weeks, this fun little hauler arrived safely from Japan, ready to load with my favorite Tomica cars...

Just a few, easy to apply stickers...

Fun features on this wonderful toy include a storage bin inside the top of the cab, and a car launcher hidden under the truck's grill! The signature slotted Tomica wheels roll easily...

The storage sections can be reconfigured to accommodate different sized castings, a smart design choice! I was initially concerned about the clear lids, but the plastic is more flexible than it looks. Such a great piece! Check out my other Tomica posts here on the Super Fun Hot Wheels Blog!

HW Track Builder July Loop Coupe Run!

I picked up a couple more Hot Wheels Workshop accessories to supplement my Drivin' Movies- a loop and power booster unit! Check out the video ...!

The star of this video is, appropriately, a black Loop Coupe I found in the bottom of a dump bin! I have a newer white Loop Coupe, so I picked up this black counterpart to compliment it. The power booster really shot this little car through the loop and made for some hair-raising jumps off my ramp- now we are in business!

Hot Wheels Track Builder Essentials Curve Pack & Ramp

In natural succession after gathering several dozen Hot Wheels cars, I was drawn to gather a few pieces of track on which to run them. After purchasing a few small playsets and some track to connect them, a launcher of some sort and a ramp seemed to make sense. The Hot Wheels Track Builder Essentials Curve Pack had the launcher I needed, and I picked up a ramp accessory from TRU to supplement. Last weekend I even picked up a couple small crates to hold my disassembled track when not in use. I've taken to watch Race Grooves on YouTube, and while unsure how far I'll take things, I'm now certainly obsessed with the idea of my cars jumping, taking curves, and perhaps even doing loops. Disappointingly, the launcher hasn't the power to get the cars around the second curve set up this way, but I did launch several cars off the ramp satisfyingly. I'll need to do some more experimentation, and a power boost accessory or two may be in order, but I'd like to avoid buying a lot of parts and still not get the result I'm looking for. Maybe some of you have advice for a novice track racer? In the meantime, I'm having a lot of fun shooting off the ramp!

Hot Wheels Turbo Hauler & 100 Car Case

Having gathered several dozen Hot Wheels cars recently, it became immediately apparent that I'd need some way to store and/or move them around in some better organized fashion, hence the need for this snappy 100 car case. It has wheels on the back and a retractable handle to drag it around like luggage, and grated divider to keep cars from spilling out when you open it!

I'd also had my eye on this Hot Wheels Turbo Hauler that holds forty more cars, handy for when I'm organizing for fleet photo sessions. I love the wheels on this rig! I'll show more of this Turbo Hauler and case as I begin to fill them up with fun Hot Wheels cars!
