HW Car Culture/Porsche Series '78 Porsche 935-78

I'm unsure why I passed on the first Car Culture Track Day Series '78 Porsche 935-78 when I already had the 2015 Porsche Series casting, but I was lucky enough to find one after picking up the new Race Day Series with the MOMO livery! Check out the video:

Hot Wheels 3-pks!

Picked up a couple HW 3-pks, which can be a mixed bag- especially at the oddly more expensive price point of $3.88 for what are otherwise three, regular ol' dollar cars. That said, some of the cars in these interested me enough to take a chance, so here we are....

The first pack contained a '99 Mustang, a Porsche Cayman S, and what's designated as a '63 Corvette Stingray on the undercarriage- the latter of which interested me most. This red Corvette has an exaggerated features that appeal to me, including large rear wheels- I've yet to identify it on the internet. It looks nothing like a Stingray of that vintage, but I like it nonetheless...

In spite of a little paint slop, I like this yellow '99 Mustang more than expected- I think the red interior contributes to it's overall appeal...

I'll admit, that I'm not the world's biggest Porsche fan, and though I like the blue paint on this Cayman S, the scratched left headlight tampo kinda killed it for me...

The second 3-pk favors a little better in my opinion, featuring a '12 Corvette Z06, a burnt orange Scorcher, and a Maverick Grabber- the reason I picked it up...

I like Corvettes in general, and while yellow isn't my preferred color on this car, the grey racing stripes & interior are nice. The headlight tampos are very cool as well, and I like the red rims- cool car!

As I said, the Maverick Grabber in this 3-pk caught my eye, and I'm pretty happy with it. The green sparkle paint gives it an appropriate '70's vibe I dig, and 5 spoke mags. This realistic casting has a 2009 date underneath...

Last but not least, this ferocious looking Scorcher turned out to be my favorite! The vac-metal interior is tinted gold by the yellow windows, matching the snappy PR5 rims. Based on a Nissan concept car, this casting first appeared in 2010, and was designated a "Track Star" by 2012. I'd like to find a couple more!

1998 Race Team III Gift Pack

Though I'm new into collecting, I have a soft spot for Hot Wheels Racing Team cars, most especially in blue! I already have several recent models in similar deco, so I picked up this Race Team III Gift Pack from 1998, K-Mart sticker still intact, priced about the same sixteen years ago as Hot Wheels 5-packs are today- amazing!

From left to right: Splittin' Image II (1994), Flashfire (1992), '56 Flashsider (1992), Porsche 930 (1991), and the Olds 442 W-30 (1993)...

Atop the packaging was a collector tip, interesting to myself as I was a child of the Seventies who had a modest collection of diecast cars...

I think my favorite of these are the Splittin' Image and Flashfire for their flashy canopies, futuristic design, and exposed engines! Here's the group posed with my new Loop & Launch playset...!
