Hallsguide: First Look (7/18)


A few more New Models and some repaints have hit the shelves this month.  Here is a look at some of the newer releases.

2011 New Model #33 Nissan Skyline H/T 2000GT-X   –  I love this casting.  This is a look back at the history of racing and great automobiles.  Due to it’s unavailability in the US, the Skyline is one of those cars most people can only dream of.  I applaud Mattel’s efforts to bring us lesser-known cars from racing history.

2011 HW Performance Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 – This is a really cool off-road casting.  It began as a Jeep-like offroader and has morphed into the more highway-friendly FJ Cruiser of today.

Thrill Racers – Raceway ’11 Fire-Eater  – I love firetrucks, as does my 2 year-old and this is just a great casting.  It has great details, a great paint job, and the red-rimmed OH5 wheels really set it apart.  I would love to see an entire firetruck series by Hot Wheels in the future.

Keep an eye out for these at your local retail locations or search for them among the ever-growing selection of diecast at DiecastMarket.com.  Show off your latest finds on our forum or see what other collectors are finding.
