Best On The Block: August 2021

Hello everyone, welcome to the very first edition of Best On The Block. These post will usually feature six of my favorite releases from various posts that were published in the month. Furthermore, they aren't going to be very long or in-depth. I'll basically be stating why I decided to pick the release for one of these post. With that said, here's the six best releases on the block for the month of August.

This year's Matchbox mix four featured the debut releases of two very cool castings, and they are the first two I picked for this post.

Exotic cars are already beautiful machines, but in recent years, I've started to think they look even more exotic without a roof. So that's why the McLaren 720S Spyder from Matchbox is one of my favorites from August. Oh, and let me not forget it's exterior color, which also contributed to how much I like it.

The 1984 Toyota MR2 was definitely going to be one of the releases featured in this post. As you know, this casting has multiple versions. In my opinion, the version I got is one of the best ones. Like I said in the post it's originally featured in, being a right-hand drive casting makes it a true JDM. Furthermore, the headlights being flipped up helps to highlight the vehicle design styles of the era.

Okay, the next two are from Hot Wheels, and they were released in their case L.

If you ask me, this is a flawless release of the '71 PLymouth Road Runner, and it's all thanks to the design choices that were made for it. I especially like how it looks with the retro slot wheels. So among the releases I wanted from case L, this was one of the ones I was anxiously waiting for.

Do I even need to say anything about this casting? I think not! Picking this new Liberty Walk casting for this post was a no-brainer, and I think you'll all agree that it's one of the best releases on the block. 

The "Ford Race Team" themed box set, or more specifically, the MK2 that's in it, is the fifth one I picked for this first edition of Best On The Block.

Don't get me wrong, I like all of the releases featured in this box set, but the MK2 is the one that's new. You might not have, but I've been waiting for a new Ford Escort casting from Hot Wheels, and I'm really happy with their decision to make this classic. And let me not forget the awesome livery that was applied to it.

The last release I chose for this post, is the Hot Wheels Boulevard Lancia Stratos Group 5. 

I wasn't alive back when these marvelous group 5 cars raced, and I'm sure it was a sight to behold. Fortunately, I'm able to have 1:64 scale replicas of them thanks to brands like Hot Wheels. And despite not featuring the actual Alitalia livery, this first release is looks great.

    

So, what were your favorite releases from this month? Go ahead and let me know down in the comments section. Alright, until next month's edition of Best On The Block, happy collecting.

My Want List: Matchbox & Hot Wheels - Target Run & Done

Hello everyone! Welcome to a new edition of My Want List. You never know what you'll find when you decide to go on a diecast hunt. Nine times out of ten, I'll arrive to find an empty diecast row, and this is at all of my local stores. As frustrating as that is, I always try to keep my head up. Doing this keeps me looking, which is why I'm usually able to stumble upon something I was looking for. Not too long ago, I decided to check one of my local Targets. I honestly didn't feel like looking that day, but I figured why not. Thankfully I did, because I was able to add some very nice releases to my collection. With that said, let's get started.

In total, I was able to check three more releases off of my want list, and they are from both of Mattel's diecast brands. One of them is from Matchbox, and the other two are from Hot Wheels. I'm going to start with the Matchbox one first, since you already saw what it was in my social media post. 

Earlier this month, I published a post where I talked about this year's Matchbox mix four, as well as some of the releases I wanted from it. Like I said in that post, mix four was mostly hoarded up in my area. That's why it took me so long to get a post out. Anyway, the MR2 and the C8 were the last two mix four releases I needed to find. Well... it might have taken over a month, but I was finally able to find the 1984 Toyota MR2. 

The Toyota MR2, is not a name you really expect to see when you walk down the diecast row. And I really hope that changes now that they've gotten the license to make Toyota's vehicles again. Having this one from Matchbox is nice, and I feel it's time for Hot Wheels to make their own. Now, they did used to have an MR2 casting, and I do have one of it's releases. But that casting was designed to be a rally car. What I want, is for them to make an updated version of it that's not modified. They could also do something completely new by making the third generation MR2. Okay, that's enough about what I'd like to see from Hot Wheels.

The Matchbox designers chose to make different versions of this casting. I'm sure everyone knows about this already. I mean... mix four is basically old news now. Anyway, I initially though it was just two, but that appears to not be the case. Supposedly, there are four different versions. The headlight variants were the ones I knew about, but it looks like they also created an interior variation as well. 

The variant I got has the headlights up, and is right-hand drive. I know it all comes down to personal preference, but I feel this is the best one. For me, the headlights being up helps to highlight the vehicle design styles of the era. And when it comes to the interior, being right-hand drive makes this version a true JDM. I will definitely keep my eye out for the other variations, but I might not find anymore at this point. Although I have the one I want, it would be cool to see them together, but I'm not going to go out of my way to search for them. 

Alright, now it's time to move onto the releases from Hot Wheels. As you know, Hot Wheels is currently making replicas of the vehicles from the Netflix Fast and Furious Spy Racers series. These models are mostly sold at Target, however, some of them have also been placed into the mainline. Although the ones at Target don't have a visible interior, they do have a moving feature, and that's what makes them cool. 

Not too long ago, Hot Wheels released a new assortment of them, and it finally showed up at one of my local Target locations. This new assortment only had two that were new. They are the off-road versions of the Astana Hotto and the Rally Baja Crawler. The rest of the ones from this assortment are repeats. Personally, this assortment would have been much better if it had more than two new releases. But I guess having repeats is good for those of you that might have missed out on getting one of the older replicas.

If you were to ask me which of the three off-road versions I liked the most, I'd tell you that it's the Baja Crawler. The Thresher and the Astana Hotto are cool, but nothing beats the army look of the Baja Crawler, and it's further complemented by the tank tracks. At the end of the day, I'm just happy to see a continued production of these replicas. 

Okay, that's everything I was able to find. Unfortunately, I'm still missing the C8 from mix four. But at this point, I'm ready to move on. I know there's a chance I could still find it, but since I do have one that's finished in my favorite color, I'm not going to specifically look for it. 

So, are you also collecting the Fast and Furious Spy Racers vehicles? Go ahead and let me know down in the comments section. Alright, that's all for this edition of My Want List. Till next time, thanks for reading, and happy collecting. And remember, these are just toys.

Hot Wheels Car Culture Two-Pack: My Thoughts - You Might Disagree

Hello diecast fans, welcome to another post here on the BLVD. I'm sure you've seen the pictures, and some of you might even have them. So you already know how Hot Wheels has decided to make two-packs for their Car Culture series. I'm one of the collectors that was able to find them on the pegs, and I decided to get one, since I felt the need to share my thoughts on them. Now, if you don't like seeing someone's true opinion about a product, then it's time to purchase a ticket for the next express train leaving Diecast BLVD. Okay, since you're still here, that means you don't mind. So let's begin.

I don't know about you, but too much of anything is never good. I think we all know what happens if we indulge ourselves with a plate full of cake, which I'll admit is hard not to do. That's why we have cheat days. Anyway, I feel they are starting to do too many different things with Car Culture. I honestly feel the series is being milked. Obviously, I don't have an issue with the single packs, and I definitely don't have an issue with the Team Transports, since I like the haulers. I also don't necessarily have a problem with the box sets either, although, they are a little pricey. I know Mattel and their brands are a business, so they need to create products that are wanted by the masses so they can make a profit. But were two-pack really necessary? I think not.

I also think first impressions are everything, and these first three two-pack have made a very weak impression on me. Basically, it has to do with the models that were picked. As you can see, each of these first three two-packs feature a release that's old. And I'm sure a lot of you have them like I do. Personally, one new release is not a worth the retail price for these.

Now, you might be wondering why I got one if I don't like them. Well, I needed to have a picture of one for a post. So I decided to get the one with the Skylines.

Future Car Culture two-packs will most likely have two new releases, but they'd have to be releases that make me say wow. The future of these packs won't be very bright if they continue to use a release that's been done before. That's the reason why I chose to not get the "Black Hole Racing" box set when I found it. That much money for two new releases was a big no. And so far, I feel the same about these. I like Hot Wheels, but I'm not going to waste money for a release I have just to get one new one. Again, I only got one of these so I could have pictures for this post.

Sometimes, things get off to a rocky start. So to be fair, my opinion of these could end up changing as time goes on. For all I know, these packs could end up having some of the best premium releases ever, but right now they don't. I'm sure many of you will gobble these up, and that's perfectly fine. We're all entitled to our own likes and dislikes. I'm just not pleased with these.

As for the red Skyline, I feel it could have been better. They really should have given it the ten-spoke wheels, which would have made it match the car in the picture.

Okay, how do you feel about these two-packs? Feel free to let me know down in the comments section. Alright, that's all for today. Until the next post, thanks for reading, and happy collection. And remember, these are just toys. 

White Booth Wednesday #98

It's once again time for another Wednesday showcase here on the boulevard. Here's this week's featured vehicle.

Vehicle: McLaren P1

Series: 2016 Hot Wheels Exotics

Boulevard rating: 10

How I feel about this release: There's a long list of colors that I feel are perfect for a McLaren P1, and yellow is definitely on that list. My fondness of this color for this car, is due to the first picture I saw of the real P1. Like this release, the one in the picture was also yellow, and I instantly liked how it looked when I saw it. Besides the color, I also like how they chose to make this release further match the real car by giving it ten-spoke wheels. So thanks to the two design choices made for it, this release continues to be one of my favorites. And that's why I gave it a ten out of ten rating.

So, how do you feel about this week's featured vehicle? Go ahead and let me know down in the comments. Till next time, happy collecting.

Looking At: 2021 Hot Wheels Team Transport Case M - New Pairings Only

Hello everyone, welcome to a new edition of Looking At. Usually, these post are made when I'm talking about all of the releases from an assortment. However, that's not the case with this edition. Unfortunately, Hot Wheels decided to only make two new pairings for this case. The other two, are repeats that a lot of us (my self included) have. To be fair, this can actually be a good thing for those of you that couldn't get the Advan themed R32 and Sakura Sprinter. Or maybe, you couldn't get the [HOONIGAN] themed "Baja Bug." You might have even wanted a second one of those two to open. No matter the reason, someone out there will benefit from this case having repeats. Anyway, that's enough talk about those. Let's get to the new pairs.

The Ford RS 200 and the new Rally Van, are the first of the two new pairings in this case. I've really been enjoying all of the "Ford Race Team" themed premium releases. Last month, Hot Wheels gave us a beautiful box set with the new MK2 casting, and now we've gotten another set of vehicles that are just as good.

I'll be honest, I was little disappointed when I first saw pictures of this second RS 200 release. My issue was with their decision to release another one finished in white. At the time, I felt that it would have been better if we got a release that was blue with white stripes. Of course, I might have been the only one that thought that. 

My opinion of this second release changed after I was able to get the Ford box set. I know they didn't use the same blue for the livery, but I feel the releases in this set match the releases in the box set perfectly. And I like when team specific releases match. It's similar to how the Advan releases match each other. Okay, let's move on to the Rally Van and it's trailer.

It might be a little surprising, but I was actually more excited for the Rally Van and it's trailer, than I was for the RS 200. When Hot Wheels first announced the Team Transport series, I never thought I'd end up seeing a Van with a trailer. I can honestly say that I like where this is going. I still like the trucks, but this combination is definitely a nice addition to the Team Transport series.

For an unlicensed casting, this van is really nice. At first glance, you'd think that it had a real-life counterpart. To this day, that's what I like about some of  the unlicensed castings. I don't want to speculate, but I feel they used the '69 Ford Econoline as a inspiration for it's design. Of course, I might be wrong, since I'm not in the know. So if you know which van they used, feel free to let me know down in the comments.  

As for the trailer, I'm not entirely sure if every Hot Wheels casting will fit on it. I run into this problem when I try to put some of my open releases on the Fast Bed Hauler and the Flatbed King from Matchbox. I almost feel like buying another one of these just to test it out. Even if a lot of castings don't fit, you have to admit that it's a neat little piece from Hot Wheels. Alright, let's get to that second new pairing.

The '74 Chevy Vega Pro Stock has finally been released again, and it's paired with the Horizon Hauler. Now, some of you might have wanted this release due to the fact that it features a Summit Racing Equipment theme, and it does make this a nice model to have. But that's it's not the main reason why I added this pairing to my want list. Unlike the RS200, this Chevy Vega was a casting I didn't have. It made it's debut back in 2011, and it only had two more releases after that. So this is one more casting I don't have to go bankrupt for.

It's too bad this Vega casting isn't used more. They really could have used it instead of the '55 Bel Air Gasser in the 2018 Drag Stripe Demons Car Culture assortment. I know a lot of you like that casting, but it's had way more releases than this one. I guess I just don't like when hype castings overshadow some of the other great Hot Wheels castings.

If I had to score this case, I'd give it a 7 out of 10. The two new pairings are nice, but the repeats keep me from saying that it's a perfect case. But that's just how I feel. Like I said at the start of this post, someone out there will benefit from this case having repeats. So you might score it higher. 

Okay, what are your thoughts on the decision to add a van and trailer to the Team Transport series? Go ahead and let me know down in the comments section. Well, that's all for this edition of Looking At. Until next time, thanks for reading, and happy collecting. And remember, these are just toys. 

Today On The Boulevard: New Additions To The Collection - Hot Wheels Premium

Hello everyone, welcome to a new edition of Today On The Boulevard. The premiums from Hot Wheels continue to be some of the hardest releases for me to find. Sometimes, I'm able to find entire sets, while most of the time I'm finding remnants. No matter what I find, something is always better than nothing. So for today's post, I'm going to be sharing some of my newest premium finds. 

Hot Wheels Car Culture is something that started out as a new premium series back in 2016, and has turned into something special that continues to amaze everyone each year. Now, not too long ago, Hot Wheels released an assortment that was called Exotic Envy, and it featured some of the hottest exotic cars on the market today. Sadly, I wasn't able to get all five, but I was able to get three.  

I don't know about the people in your area, but the ones in my are hoarded up all of the Bugatti Chirons and the Lamborghini Huracans. To be honest, I knew I wouldn't find the Bugatti. I'm going to assume that folks are hoarding these up because the value of the old Veyron soared when Hot Wheels could no longer make Bugatti's vehicles. Although it would have been nice to find it, I really don't need this assortment's release of the Chiron. Sure, it features a two-tone color scheme, but the colors picked for it are black and blue. Though they aren't the same shade, these colors were already used for two of this casting's releases that I have. Metallic black was used for a mainline release, and bright blue was used for the HW Exotics five-pack.

The Lamborghini was a little surprising. I didn't think it was going to be one of the ones that got hoarded. It's not like I don't have some great releases of it, it's just I wanted to have one that was finished in green. But being the type of collector that I am, I can live without it. Alright, let's move onto the other three.

This Car Culture assortment featured two very nice Aston Martins. One of them is the Aston Martin Valhalla Concept, and it's the one that's brand new. 

Since it's new, I really thought it was going to be the hardest one to find, but no. This was actually the main one that was left every time I found this assortment on the pegs. I guess being new wasn't enough to make it outshine the Chiron. I'm actually glad it didn't, because this is the main one I wanted from this assortment. The real car is absolutely beautiful, and this Hot Wheels version looks just as good.

The Vulcan is the second Aston Martin from this assortment, and it's the first premium release of it. I'm really happy they decided to put this casting into their premium line. The mainline releases of it are nice, but being a premium means that we'll get very stunning releases like this one.

Being a premium also means it'll receive more details, and I'm not just talking about the ones applied to it's front, side, and rear. Unlike the mainline releases, the top of this release's window piece was given details. The vents on the front also received a tampo coating. 

The McLaren Senna is the third one I got, and like the Vulcan, it's the first premium release of it. Due to the initial pictures going around the internet, I though this release was going to be finished in white. And since I have the white mainline release, I didn't feel the need to have a premium one that was also white. That's why I didn't get the Cars & Donuts release of the Custom Datsun 240Z. Anyway, things were much different when I found it. It was actually finished in a very, and I mean very light shade of blue.    

This release's window piece is one of the reason why I'm glad there's a premium version. The mainline version of this casting feature a very dark window piece, which is fine. But this premium version features one that's not as dark, and it was given details like the Vulcan's window piece. 

Overall, I'm very pleased with how these three look, and I can't wait to see how the next Valhalla looks. I hope they pick another great color for it. Alright, now it's time to move onto the next premium release for this post. 

In terms of difficulty, the Hot Wheels boulevard is two steps up from Car Culture. Obviously, it's because they are exclusive to Walmart. So they are basically near impossible to find. In fact, after all this time, I've only been able to acquire one full assortment, which I wrote about in this post. Anyway, a new assortment of Boulevard is out, and there were only two different releases on the pegs. 

One of the releases left, was the Custom '67 Pontiac Firebird, which is just a premium version of the casting's debut release. So I didn't need it. The other one, was the Lancia Stratos Group 5. You know me, I love classic race cars, which is why this was the main one I wanted from this assortment. So I'm glad it was one of the ones that wasn't wanted when the stock came in. 

Every thing about this first release is based on a real race car. For obvious reasons, Hot Wheels had to make some changes. It's similar to the various Rothmans inspired releases. So what car is it based on? Well, it's based on the Alitalia sponsored #539. For those of you that might not have known like I didn't, Alitalia is an airline company. 

It might be surprising, but I do have one issue with this release. I feel this release should have been given some of the decals that are seen on the real car.  The ones I'm talking about, are Pirelli, Bilstein, and Champion Spark Plugs. All of the aforementioned are companies that have been featured on Hot Wheels. Not too long ago, we got the recolor of the M3 GT2 with the Pirelli decal, as well as a Bilstein themed Land Rover Defender 110 Hardtop. So I don't see why they could have added those to this release.

Okay, that's all of the premiums I was able to get. I might not have gotten all of the releases from these two assortments, but I'm extremely happy with the ones I was able to get.

So, have you been able to add any new premiums to your collection? If so, go ahead and let me know down in the comments section. Alright, that's all for this edition of My Want List. Till next time, thanks for reading, and happy collecting. And remember, these are just toys.

White Booth Wednesday #97

It's once again time for another Wednesday showcase here on the boulevard. Here's this week's featured vehicle.

Vehicle: '67 Austin Mini Van

Series: 2016 Hot Wheels City Works

Boulevard rating: 8

How I feel about this release: I was never really into the HW City Works mainline series, but this was one of the releases I had to get. In my opinion, Minis are some of the coolest looking compact vehicles, and I happen to really like this panel van. As for the theme, I feel it's perfect. The stripe, the name of the garage, and the FC logo on the door, are all that was needed to make this a nice release. In fact, this release would be great for a garage themed diorama. I should also mention, that the shade of yellow that was picked for it's exterior, is the other reason why I had to get this release. And it's the other design choice that made me give it an eight. 

 

So, how do you feel about this week's featured vehicle? Go ahead and let me know down in the comments. Till next time, happy collecting.

My Want List: 2021 Matchbox Mix 4 - Just My Favorites

Hi everyone, welcome to another edition of My Want List. Due to the amount of great models it had, I knew mix four was going to be extremely hard to find. But, what I didn't know, was that it was going to be near impossible. Mix four was almost completely hoarded up in my area. So I basically had to go on a grand quest similar to a protagonist in a fantasy video game. Even after I completed the quest, I was still unable to find everything I wanted. 

The sad thing is, it's only two, and I think you can probably guess which ones they are. If not, then I'll tell you. It's the MR2 and the C8. To be honest, I really didn't think the latter would be as hard as the JDM. Corvettes used to be one of the vehicles that were left behind in my area, but I guess the C8 is popular. I must be missing something. Anyway, since these are old news now, I'm only going to be talking about the ones that I liked the most. So with that being said, let's go over today's featured releases. 

Most might have sought the Toyota, but I sought a different car. That car, is none other than the new McLaren 720S Spider. My jaw hit the floor when Matchbox showed this casting over on Instagram. The first thing that came to mind, was that I love this brand for giving us different versions of vehicles that are made by Hot Wheels. This car is absolutely beautiful, and the one from Hot Wheels is just as nice. But between the two, this Matchbox casting is now my favorite. Personally, exotic cars look even more exotic with no roof. So I'm glad this is one of the vehicles that was left behind. In fact, there were more than one of them hanging on the pegs, so I definitely got an extra one to open.

I really like the design choices made for this first release, and I'm not just talking about it's exterior color. One of the bad things about the mainline Hot Wheels release, is that it's never given any rear end details. So far, the premium Fast and Furious release is the only one with rear end details. Thankfully, that's not the case with this non premium Matchbox release. Although I can ignore these details, or the lack there of, it's no lie that they help to complete the overall look of the model. 

The McLaren wasn't the only vehicle from this mix that's a different version of a vehicle made by Hot Wheels. With that said, the next vehicle checked off of my want list, is 2021 Ford Bronco, which is also a new casting. Obviously, Matchbox was going to give us the four-door version, since Hot Wheels has the two-door version. And I think we're all happy with this. It's awesome how we're able to collect multiple versions of the same vehicle from Mattel.

Although it's first release was basically plain, the Hot Wheels casting will most likely end up featuring some kind of design in the future. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with that, since that is the other brand's style after all. So once they decide to do that with their casting, we'll still be able to see this SUV without a design thanks to Matchbox. 

Besides the other versions of vehicles that are also made by Hot Wheels, this mix also had two Minis. One is a classic, while the other one is a modern Mini. Since I like classics, I'm going to show the older one first.

I always look forward to a release of the 1964 Austin Mini Cooper from Matchbox. I mean, how could I not when this brand's casting is the only way for me to have a non racing classic Mini Cooper. Anyway, I'm very happy to see a continued use of this casting. Those of you that have been collecting for many years will probably have all of it's initial releases, but that's sadly not the case for me. In fact, all I had before this one, were the two Mr. Bean themed releases. So I'm glad I didn't have to turn to the secondary market just to get another one.

I really like how they decided to make this one relatively plain. It does have a design, but it's a simple checkered pattern on it's roof. This decision is perfect for someone like me who didn't have many. I'm sure you all wouldn't mind a flashy design, but that's what I expect to see from Hot Wheels. I also love the shade of blue that was picked. This is another one of those times where I couldn't have asked for a better one than this.  

The modern one is the 2010 Mini Cooper S Cabrio. Similar to the previous Mini, this casting was also one of the ones that I didn't have many of. So I'm glad to see a continued use of this casting as well. All I had was the 2018 Globe Travelers release, which featured a very flashy design. At the time, I didn't care since I was just glad to finally have the car in my collection. Of course, that's no longer the case now that I have this one. To be fair though, I don't hate it, it's just I'm glad to finally have one that's not as flashy. It does have a design, but it's just stripes that were applied to it's hood. 

I don't know about you, but I think the designers picked a very nice color for it's exterior. This is definitely not a shade of purple that's used often, which is why I feel this release is unique. And I don't just mean it's unique among the various releases of it. I feel it stands out (in a good way) from a lot of other Matchbox releases. But I guess that's just me, since this was the main one that was left behind every time mix four came in.

Classic cars from around the world are nice, and I enjoy being able to see all of the different vehicle design styles from different countries. However, I sometimes find myself wondering why there aren't more classic American cars. In my opinion, our classics are just as nice as the ones from different countries. A long time ago, Hot Wheels used to make more of these classic. However, that's no longer the case. I mean, they still make the usual ones like the Chevelles and the '32 Ford. But what I'm talking about, are some of the other vehicles. Fortunately, it looks like Matchbox is stepping up to the plate, because the next two I got, are the kind of classics I was talking about. 

Even if you don't quite like classic, you have to admit that this is a very beautiful release of this beautiful classic. Cream yellow with a brown interior, is a fantastic exterior and interior color scheme for this car. 

The next one, is the 1975 Chevy Caprice. Like the Cadillac, it too features a nice exterior and interior color scheme. To be honest, this and the first one are now my favorite releases of this casting. Although the red release is okay, I kind of prefer how it looks finished in light colors like the one used for this release. So if they do ever decide to do a blue one, I hope they'll use the color that was used for the debut release of the Porsche 550 Spyder.

Up next, is the 2019 Fiat 500 Turbo, and it's another new casting that I was very happy to find. When it comes to a modern two-door Fiat 500, all I had were three releases of the Hot Wheels one. And sadly, I missed out on getting a plain release of that casting. Each of the three releases in my collection feature a design. So now that Matchbox has this casting, I no long have to wait for Hot Wheels to possibly do another plain release of their casting.  

Sometimes, a casting will only get a few mainline releases, and then it will mostly be used for the multi-packs. In my opinion, it'd be a real shame if they decided to do that with this casting. There are many colors I'd like to see used for it, and it would suck if they used those colors for multi-pack releases. As you might know, I usually don't get those due to how altered I've seen them. Yeah... sometimes it gets pretty bad in my area. Now, if they aren't altered, then there usually isn't enough releases in the pack that I'd want. Anyway, I hope they decide to do many mainline releases going forward. I know there's probably going to be a white one, which is fine, but I'd really like to see one finished in yellow. At the end of the day, no matter what color is picked for the next release, it's just nice to have a new modern Fiat 500 to collect. 

Okay, that's all of the releases I'm going to talk about today. There were a few other ones that I got, but there's no need to talk about them in this post. Although it ended up being most of the releases I wanted, these are the ones that I liked the most.  

So, did you have a favorite mix four release besides the JDM and the C8? Feel free to let me know down in the comments section. Alright, that's all for this edition of My Want List. Till next time, thank for reading, and happy collecting. And remember, these are just toys.
