Hallsguide First Look: 2012 Hot Wheels 7


The 2012 Hot Wheels have been hitting the shelves for a couple of months now.  Here we take a first look at some of the latest and coolest 2012 series to hit the pegs. Also visit our 2012 price guides to see prices and checklists for what has been released so far.

2012 #002 1964 Chevy Chevelle SS – Mattel has done a great job at casting a variety of muscle cars.  2012 looks to be no different.  Chevelle fans get another great casting to add to their collections with this one.  The red paint job with grey trim looks great and I’m betting we’ll see this one show up again with another paint scheme before 2012 is over.

2012 #006 – ’71 Plymouth Road Runner – MOPAR fans rejoice!  We have another great Plymouth to add to our collections and what could be better than the Plum Crazy paint job?

2012 #168 – HW Main Street ’69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator – Everyone loves a good muscle car and everyone loves their local fire department, so a ’69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator sporting a Cranston Fire department paint job is the perfect combination.

In addition to what we see here, 2012 will be a great year for Hot Wheels collectors.  We will get a total of 50 New Models and tons of recolors on our all-time favorites.  One of the best ideas since the initial release of Treasure Hunts is the new way of doing Super Treasure  Hunts.  We will still get the classic Treasure Hunt line, but the Super Treasure Hunts will not be labeled as such on the packaging but will instead be packaged as regular mainlines from various series.  They will feature Spectraflame paint and Treasure Hunt graphics but will blend in with the other mainlines on the shelves due to their packaging.  This will bring back the thrill of the hunt as the absence of the bright green stripe down the side may help to keep them from disappearing so quickly from the shelves.  Click here to see the most recent Super Treasure Hunts on Ebay and stay up to date on what to look for.

    The fact is that as we get older our body appears to lose some of its elasticity.
    Most of these exercises work through toning and strengthening your pelvic area,
    stimulating the nerves in the coccyx tailbone area and easing
    the pain. Over the years creases, crow’s feet, double chins,
    sagging muscles along with a host of other factors become obvious.
    Incorporate speaking techniques like pausing into games.
    As you follow the beautiful road on the monitor you are prompted to increase or decrease your mind-body’s energy levels in order
    to proceed in the game.
