Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

April 4, 2016 By Brian 9 Comments

C is for Cars

I was never a Hot Wheels or Matchbox kid, but after discovering the pop culture themed vehicles released in Hot Wheels’ Retro Entertainment line, I was hooked. Here’s most of my current collection…

The 1966 Batmobile will always be my favorite child, but my most recent acquisition, the Family Truckster from National Lampoon’s Vacation, is way up there. I have a dream in my head of creating a large diorama, much like a model train layout, for all of these cars, but until that happens, I will have to settle for displaying them on the wall.

Greenlight produces some amazing vehicles, and they made magic happen when they created this scale version of the RV from Breaking Bad. It makes me really not like the Stripes RV that Hot Wheels did. Maybe Greenlight can get the license and show Hot Wheels how it’s done!


 

Day 3 of the A-to-Z Challenge is done! Yesterday, the tour of the cave covered B is for Buck Rogers. What will tomorrow hold? Honestly, I don’t know, but I’m sure it will be great!

    I wish they would release a WGON news helicopter.

      Yeah, I have a very long list of vehicles I’d like to see made. It seems like each new wave has one I want, and four that I don’t.

    Wish the Stripes RV had the weapons.

    I also found the Ferris Bueller Ferrari in a hobby shop last week.

    Speaking of the Ferris Bueller Ferrari, the house where it was filmed was for sale a few years ago:

      I remember when that house was for sale. i wonder if it would be a dream or a curse living in a famous movie home.
