      Good start! What you called the Joker car is actually a purple Batmobile from last year’s Hot Wheels Halloween line. (I was too lazy to dig out the regular ’66 Batmobile. I’ll do better next time.)

    Nice! I have many of those, some I’ve bought a couple of play with…I mean for my boys to play with. Hot Wheels Retro has a head lock on my collecting cash.

      Yeah, me too. It’s been a while since I’ve actively hunted anything in the toy aisles, but I’m definitely hooked. Luckily, the packaging on those retro cars is pretty lackluster, so I have no problem tearing them open. 🙂

    For those playing along at home, the car in the bottom left corner is Mario’s Kart, and the one in the top right, is a Halo Warthog.
