Starting in 2019, Mattel began releasing “Collector’s Edition” figures in the WWE Elite line. These figures are sometimes flashbacks/legends, sometimes a lesser known talent, sometimes a figure that could have easily held a main spot in the elite line. They are released with each elite wave, with the exclusive going back and forth between Walmart…
When COVID-19, aka the Coronavirus hit, “Corona Hunting” became a reality. Faced with not being able to get out and look for new releases of Hot Wheels, I turned to backfilling my collection.

So far in 2021, there have been 12 Walmart Exclusive Zamac Edition Hot Wheels released. This is the Zamac wish list. These are the cars I would choose from to fill the remaining 6 spots.

In the middle of March, COVID-19 hit, and everything changed. Shipments stopped and as of this writing (6/3), Target is still not receiving…
With the dissolving of Kmart Day (coming soon), Mattel and the Hot wheels collecting community have been looking for a place to pick up the slack. Kroger picked up the September event, sort of. I’ll be writing about that soon. GameStop picked up the November event and this is part one of the results of…
