A Very Cool Back Slider 2010

I reckon one of the surprises of 2010 is this back Slider. Nice look, practical moving slider and proportionately sized to carry even the longest cars in the Hot Wheels series.

As you can see, I have used the Buick 2008 T-Hunt, one of the longer cars out there and there is still a few mm to spare ... haha. Now that is practical especially when there are longer cars in the Hot Wheels world. A very cool casting. Keep it up, Mattel. This design is a keeper.

Custom HW '65 Volkswagen Fastback

HWCM customizer danielh has done it again. This time mesmerizing us with his customized '65 Volkswagen Fastback. The car had it's first casting just last year by Hot Wheels and other than the mail-in edition, there are no more variants. It is indeed very pleasing to see this highly sought-after car in other colours.

Latest TRU Promo

You've heard it and seen it here first! Yes, another Hot Wheels Promo with an even more attractive prize!


The good news is that TRUs around the country are all expected to restock. And sources say they HAVE! Not to worry about what waves they restocked though, it's definitely not Qombee waves.

I would very much like to get my hands on one of those display cases as it will be a very limited item in the future. From what I gather it's TRU exclusive! Meaning you will NOT be able to get it anywhere else..

Another important thing to note is that it comes with 30 cars from the 2009 line up.
The case is made out of real wood and perspecs. It can be mounted on your wall and the rear reflective panel slides up to allow you to place your cars inside.

This promo runs for 2 months, so let's see who can grab that case by that time!
