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…

These are common terms and phrases I often use related to collecting WWF and WWE action figures: Hasbro: The first WWF wrestling line I personally collected. Hasbros ran from 1990-1995 and had a total of ten series. Jakks/Jakks Pacific: The Successor to the Hasbro line, ran from 1996-2009 and had several versions of figures, most…
Christmas shopping 1993 led me to Toys R us and being absolutely floored by what I discovered: THE YELLOW CARDS. Only having the ad to go by, and no internet to use, I had no idea that the cards would be changing colors, as all before had looked the same. I grabbed all that I…
As a companion to my favorite Hasbro WWF figures list, these are my least favorite Hasbros. As usual, these are in no particular order. Series 3 Macho Man Randy Savage. I’m a big fan of the series 2 Macho King figure, it was a great version of Savage. But this was a cheap cop out…

When I was growing up, I played with my Hasbro WWF figures a TON. Once I began collecting the line it was off to the races, and soon I had everything except for the green card series. Looking back at the set now, I’ve picked out 10 that I would call my favorite. But first,…
These are my personal Top 10 Super Treasure Hunt Hot Wheels. As a cop out, they are not ranked. Photos sourced from Hwtreasure.com. My main criteria is color choice, casting choice (it needs to be a car I like), and standing out from the crowd. I like muscle cars and bold colors. There are 180…
This is a short list of terminology that I will be using on this site as it relates to hot wheels and the other diecast brands. Case: a box of cars, most cases are 72 cars in a box. Kmart offered 36 count cases but that is coming to an end. “__” Case: Hot Wheels…
I stopped in to two Target stores today and was pleased to see some P case hitting. The first stop had leftovers, but I picked up a good handful of the new P case cars. On a hunch, I headed to the next closest Target to see if they had the same. After a quick…
