Hot Wheels Review: All About Hot Wheels

Hi hotwheelers… Sorry for the long absence at this blog. Today I want to share with you all my first Drag Bus. Got it on a trade all the way from Canada. Designed by Phil Riehlman. First appeared in the First Edition line in the year 1996. It was an instant hit. Over the years, this casting get the treatment of special editions, mail-ins, RLC/HWC and limited editions… not to mention the Employees Drag Bus which easily reach USD 300 on a normal day. Nonetheless, enjoy the picture.

Hi hot wheelers. Today I would like to introduce to you an awesome casting done by Mattel. It has since become one of my favorite hot wheels casting. I’m not sure what year this casting is introduced but according to http://www.hotwheels.wikia.com it first appear as a Toy Fair car in 2007. Eventually it made it’s debut on mainline as the 12th Treasure Hunt of year 2008. Then, this casting appeared in variety of line. It is featured in mainline, Larry’s Garage series, Hot wheels Garage series, Classics line and RLC/HWC Real Riders. It also featured in the 2009 Hot Wheels Collectors Nationals as convention car.

According to hotwheels.wikia.com, the designer for this casting is Phil Riehlman. At first I thought this casting is designed by the legendary Larry Woods as it appeared in the Larry’s Garage series. But when the new Hot wheels Garage series was introduced, this casting made itself back to his designer – Phil Riehlman.

One of my favorite 69 camaro is the one in the Larry’s Garage box set exclusive to Toys R’ Us. I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

Loving every aspect of this car. The ghost flame is really sick looking. The only complain will be the tail light. Why it is not painted, I wonder? I got this one loose from ebay.com. It is definitely worth the money. Hope to see more of this casting from Mattel.
