My Want List: 2021 Hot Wheels Case M And Case N - That Took A While

Hi everyone, welcome to today's edition of My Want List. Earlier this month, I was able to make a My Want List post about the releases I got from this year's Hot Wheels case N. And in case you forgot, I was only able to get a few of them. So the hunt continued for the last few I needed. I also still needed to find two more releases from case M. I knew I'd eventually find them, but I had no idea that it'd take me this long before I was able to see them on the pegs. At the end of the day, the hunt is finally over, and that's all that matters to me. 

Since these are old news now, I'm sure you all know everything about each of the releases featured in this post, which is why I appreciate you taking the time to see what I have to say about them. Alright, now that I got that out of the way, let me get this long overdue post started. And since they're older than the ones from case N, I'm going to go ahead and talk about the two from case M first. 

Throughout the years, Hot Wheels has given us collectors many cool Lamborghini models to collect. One of them is the Huracan, and there were two different versions of it. Well, now there's a third version, and it's definitely a must-have. It's also a model I wanted to have on display, so thankfully there were enough of them left so I could get one to open. 

Many of you (myself included) wanted this release because of it's theme, which makes it a great addition to any Mad Mike collection. But that's not the only reason why I wanted it. In fact, the main reason why I wanted it is because it's a Lamborghini with a LB-Works body kit. I mean, how cool is that? I was shocked when I found out we were going to get a Lamborghini with a body kit you'd expect to see on a different kind of car. 

This kit truly takes the Huracan to the next level! The fender flares, as well as a ducktail spoiler, really help to make this casting stand out from the other Lamborghini castings. Looking at how awesome this casting is, makes me hope they'll be able to use the LB-Works name for many years to come. So far, we have two castings designed with their kits, and I'd love to see many more.

Before I get to the next car, I thought I'd point out one of the other neat things about this casting. Unlike the other Huracans from Hot Wheels, this one features a right-hand drive interior. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I'm aware, this is the first right-hand drive Lamborghini from Hot Wheels. Okay, let's move on to the next case M release.

It's no lie that there are still many Honda fans around the world. These cars definitely have a passionate cult following. And Hot Wheels has satisfied the need to have these cars in our diecast collections by giving us many different castings. Just this year, we've gotten the N600 and a revamped version of the Civic Si. And now, they've given us the hatchback version of the latter. That's right, the '99 Honda Civic Type R (EK9) has finally been made. This is undoubtedly the star of case M for a lot of collectors.

To be truthfully honest, I'm still not completely into the hatchback version of these cars. I couldn't tell you why, but I'm more into the coupe version, which is why I still like the one that was released earlier this year a little more. But that doesn't mean I won't happily add any of the hatchback releases to my want list.

So how do I feel about this release? Well, I think it's pretty good. Overall, they've given us a nice replica of the '99 Type R. And I love how they even gave it a red interior. The only problem I have is with the wheels. Basically, it's the same issue I have with the other releases that are replicas of cars with 7-spoke wheels. So there's really no need for me to say the same thing as I've said before. To be fair though, the 10-spoke wheels are an okay alternative. I just wish they'd use their 7-spoke wheel for releases like this.

Sometimes, the debut release of a casting will only have details on either the front of rear. This was something I didn't like about the debut release of the '96 Chevy Impala. I know it's not that big of a deal, since the are $1 mainlines after all. But a diecast model will always look better with front and rear details. So I'm glad they chose to add details to the back of this release.

I can't wait to see the next release of this Civic. Although I'd like to see one with a design, I do a hope they end up doing a few more plain releases first. I, for one, would love to see a yellow one with white wheels. But whatever they choose to do, it'll most likely be a release that's on my want list.  

Alright, now it's time for me to talk about the last releases I needed from this year's case N. These were actually found at a different store. It's funny how one store will get older releases, while one that's not too far away will get the newer ones. Anyway, all I needed were four more, and I'm glad I didn't have to go to too many stores just to get them. 

Hot Wheels has been on a roll with giving us Toyota models, and I'm sure everyone who loves anything JDM is happy. And now fans of Toyota have another new model to drool over. Making it's debut is the Toyota Land Cruiser 80. 

I'm not only into vehicles from Japan, but I will admit that this is a very cool casting, and it's great how it's another casting designed with side-view mirrors. I also like the exterior color they picked for this first release. 

Custom licensed SUV castings aren't something you see everyday hanging on the Hot Wheels pegs. So I definitely had to get an extra one to have on display with my other Toyota models. I have to say, it really looks good sitting next to the recolor of the Falken themed AE86. 

Now then, even though I'm pleased with the design choices made for this first release, I'm curious to see what they'll do for the next one. I don't know about you, but I'd love to see one with the TRD stripes. No matter what they choose to do, I'm sure it'll be loved by many in the diecast community.

You can always count on Hot Wheels to give collectors something that you'd would normally see when you go down the diecast row. And the best example of this is seen with their Porsche 914 Safari casting, which is the next release I checked off of my want list. Whenever I go down the row, I usually don't see off-road racing Porsches from the other diecast brands. So that's why Hot Wheels is so appealing. Alright, let me get to how I feel about this year's release.

I actually like this release a little more than the debut release. I know the first one featured a design that's based on an actual 914, but this release's design features decals, which is something I like to see. Now it's only two, and they aren't real companies, but as I've said in a few older post, the designers do a good job at making realistic looking decals. 

Like the first release, this too features a decorated top half. Now, instead of painting the fuel tanks, they decided to apply the stripe to the hood. I do kind of wish one of the fuel tanks was painted though. Had they done that, this release would have looked even better, but I'm not going to complain. After all, I'm happy with the decorated hood. 

The last two releases I needed from this case are recolors. The first one is the Mercedes-Benz 500 E, and there really isn't much to say about it other than it's just as good as the first one. And I guess I like it a little more, since I ended up getting an extra one to open. Although I think they look superb finished in black, I feel silver is another color that's perfect for any Mercedes-Benz.

The second one is the '70 Toyota Celica, and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it as much as the one released earlier this year. But to be honest, I like it just as much. 

The first pictures I saw of this release didn't do it justice, and my pictures don't either. Initially, I thought this release was finished in gloss turquoise, which would have been fine. But that wasn't the case. For this release, the design team chose to use a turquoise that changes to blue when a light is shined on it. I have to say, I definitely like this paint!

I also like their choice to give this release black lace wheels. In my opinion, this wheel color combines nicely with the other colors used for this release. All in all, this is a ten out of ten release.

Well, that's another section of my 2021 want list completed. Overall, case M and N were outstanding, which is to be expected of these later cases. Now it's on to looking for the rest of this year's mainlines. Up next is case P, which from what I've seen, has some great looking releases as well. So hopefully I don't have too hard of a time trying to find them. 

So what was your favorite release from case M and N? 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, thanks for reading, and happy collecting. And remember, these are just toys.

Today On The Boulevard: More Releases from This Year's Hot Wheels Boulevard Series

Hello, and welcome to a new edition of Today On The Boulevard. I can't believe how fortunate I've been with this year's Hot Wheels Boulevard series. I was able to find some on the pegs last year, but it wasn't as many as I've been able to find this year. And as you can see from the title, I once again was able to chance upon some more. As usual though, I wasn't able to find the entire assortment, and to be honest, that's totally fine. Ultimately, I was able to get the main one I wanted. So with that said, let's go over what I found.

I didn't check that many stores, but I did decide to go to one of my local Walmarts, and that's when I spotted some remnants hanging on the premium pegs. Overall, the pegs were actually pretty bare, but I decided to look anyway. That's when I noticed it was remnants of the latest Boulevard assortment, and the '66 Pontiac GTO, which is the one I wanted the most, was the one on the pegs. In fact, there were many multiples of it. After grabbing one, I spotted one of the other releases sitting underneath the pegs. Now, I'll get to which one that was in a minute, because I want to focus on the GTO first.

It's not like I don't have some of the other GTO castings from Hot Wheels, but I was disappointed when I saw that the next release of this one was going to be in the Boulevard series. As you know, this casting made its debut in this series, and it was a release I never found. So that's why I almost jumped for joy when I saw how many were left behind.  

Now I'm not going to say that the first release looks bad, because it doesn't. GTOs with two-tone paint schemes look awesome. But you know me, I love having plain releases, and despite having a thin pinstripe, this is that plain release. Besides being plain, I also love how they chose to use this particular blue for it's exterior. As I've said in an older post, I feel this blue is perfect for classics. Alright, let's get to the next one I found.

It seems like we're moving into a time period where we're getting more modernized classic muscle car castings. And I don't know about you, but I think it's cool to see these old cars with the latest performance parts. So that brings me to the Custom '70 Chevy Nova, which is the release I spotted underneath the pegs. I was honestly left speechless when I first saw pictures of this beast, and I was surprised to see that it was one of the ones that got left.

I know there's a lot of folks out there who'll prefer the stock look of these old cars, but all of these exterior modifications have turned this Nova into one stunning ride. The exterior isn't the only thing I like about this casting though. I also happen to like how they designed the interior. To be more specific, I like how they designed it in a way so the roll cage can be a different color. 

I honestly have nothing bad to say about this casting, and it'll be interesting to see what they choose to do with it going forward. Since this debut release is plain, I'd love to see what type of design they'd create for a vehicle like this. Regardless of what they chose to do, this is a casting that'll always be one I try to get. 

After getting those two, I decided to go to one more Walmart, and it was basically the same story. Multiple GTOs on the pegs, and then one remnant of a different one. However, this time it was the Volkswagen "Classic Bug." I actually almost didn't get it, and it's thanks to the design choice made for its exterior, but I figured I'd just get it anyway so I didn't have an regrets later on. 

As you can see, this release is basically a premium recolor of the one that was released in the Cruise Boulevard Car Culture assortment. I feel they could have just made it one color instead. In my opinion, they picked a really nice shade of purple. So I would have preferred for its exterior to be one color instead. 

To be fair, this is still an okay looking release, and if you couldn't get the two-tone Car Culture release, then this is a great alternative. So it should definitely be on your want list.

Well, that's everything I was able to get. It's not all five, but finding any Boulevard release is a win in my book. And since I found three, I'd say this was a successful diecast hunt. As for the other two, I'll keep an eye out, but trying to find them might be a bit tricky, since they appear to be the main ones folks want. As usual, I'll share my thoughts on them if I'm able to find them. 

So have you been able to add any of these to your collection? Feel free to let me know down in the comments section. Okay, that's all for this edition of Today On The Boulevard. Until next time, thanks for reading, and happy collecting. And remember, these are just toys. 

White Booth Wednesday #109

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

Vehicle: Volkswagen Transporter Cab

Series: 2017 Matchbox Explorers

Boulevard Rating: 7

How I Feel About This Release: I have a few releases of this casting in my collection, but this one is still my favorite. Remember how I like having at least one plain release of every casting I collect? Well, this is that plain release. All of the releases after this one have a design, which is fine. But I'm truly glad I was able to get this one. Being plain isn't the only reason why I like this one though, so let's move on to the next thing I like about it. I've said it before, and I'm going to say it again! I like seeing releases finished in colors that are based on ones that were used for the real vehicle. And that appears to be the case with this release's exterior color. Upon doing a Google image search, I found pictures of the real vehicle finished in a green that looks very similar to the one used for this release. Now even if it wasn't a color offered by Volkswagen back then, I'd still think this shade of green was an okay color for this vehicle. So being plain, as well as being finished in a nice color, are why I had to make it this week's featured vehicle.

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.

Today On The Boulevard: A Hot Wheels Bugatti Kind Of Day

Hi everyone, welcome to another edition of Today On The Boulevard. Have you ever had one of those days where things just went your way? Well, I did. As you know, I still needed to find the star of case N, so I decided that it was time to go looking for it. To be honest, I really wasn't expecting to find much of anything, since my local stores have not had as many diecast cars as they used to in years gone by. But the day ended up being a day like no other. Not only did I find the star of case N, I also found a certain release I was missing from a previous Car Culture assortment. So with that being said, let's get started.

After all this time, and many trips to my local stores, I was finally able to get my hands on the Exotic Envy release of the '16 Bugatti Chiron. As time went on, I figured I'd never see it, since it ended up being the only one that was bought from every store that carries Hot Wheels. I also came to the conclusion that the next Car Culture assortment was about to be released. So I happily scratched it off my want list like I do for a lot of releases. 

There was another reason why I scratched it off my want list though, and it has to do with the colors used for it's exterior. As you know, black was used for this casting's second release, while blue was used for the third release that was apart of this year's Exotics five-pack. And since I have both of those releases, I figured it wasn't necessary to get stressed out trying to find the Exotic Envy release.

I was actually quite surprised when I saw multiples of it hanging on the pegs. I know older assortments sometimes show back up at a later date, but I wasn't expecting to see this one again. So even though I no longer cared for it, I wasn't going to just leave it behind.

Although this is an outstanding release, I do hope to eventually see one that's not finished in black or blue. I know that's a little hypocritical, since blue is my all-time favorite color after all. But I feel it'd be nice to see a different color used for this casting. I just hope it doesn't end up being like the Matchbox Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA. In case you didn't know, most of that casting's releases were either red or white. If that ends up being the case for this Hot Wheels Bugatti, then this Exotic Envy release is probably going to be the last one I get. Alright, let's move on to the star of case N.

I'm sure many of you will consider the Super Treasure Hunt to be the star of this case, but for me, that release is the '94 Bugatti EB110 SS. I can honestly say that I'm delighted to see another Hot Wheels version of an older Bugatti. Initially, the only two older Bugattis we had from Hot Wheels, were the '37 Bugatti and the Veyron. So after we got the Chiron from Hot Wheels, and the Divo from Matchbox, I really though we were only going to see Bugatti's newer vehicles. But I should have known that wasn't going to be the case, since we've gotten a few new classic Mercedes-Benz castings. I'm sure many of you just facepalmed, but you never know what Mattel will or won't be allowed to make.  

Unlike the Chiron, I have no issue with blue being used for this first release. And I especially like how it looks like an exact match to the blue that was used for the real car. 

Now, even though I like it, it's definitely not the only good color for this car. In my opinion, there's a plethora of colors they could choose to use for the next release. In fact, they really don't have to stick to the ones that were used for the real car. Although... I will admit that I hope to see one that's finished in yellow, which appears to have been one of the colors that was available for the real car. Alright, that's enough about it's color. Now I want to share my thoughts on the casting itself, as well as one of the other design choices made for it.

I'm very pleased with the overall design of this casting, and I feel it has nice proportions. I also really like how the headlights are apart of the window piece. I do kind of wish they'd designed it with side rear view mirrors though. But since most castings don't have them, it's not that big of a deal. At the end of the day, this is an outstanding model. 

The only thing I'm going to complain about, are the wheels, which are also not that big of deal. As you can see, the designers chose to use the 10-spoke wheels for this release. These wheels are okay, but they have a few too many spokes. I know they don't use them anymore, but I really wish they'd continue to use their 7-spoke wheels. In case you didn't know, the real car had 7-spoke wheels, so I feel those would have made this a flawless 1:64 scale replica. 

Well, those are the two releases that made me have a Bugatti kind of day. The last thing I want to say, is that I hope we get even more of Bugatti's older vehicles now that they have the legal okay to make them again. Personally, I'd love to see Matchbox do the Type 55 Roadster and the Type 101. And I think we'd all love to see the Bolide from Hot Wheels. So let's all keep our fingers crossed!

So how do you feel about these two models? Go ahead and let me know down in the comments section. Alright, that's all for this edition of Today On The Boulevard. Until next time, thanks for reading, and happy collecting. And remember, these are just toys.

My Want List: 2021 Hot Wheels Case N

Hello, and welcome to a new edition of My Want List. Well this year's Hot Wheels mainline is almost over. I have to say, I'm very pleased with the most of the releases we got this year. And from what I've seen, the last few cases are going to have some stellar releases too. In fact, there are a few I'd like to get extras of to have on display. Anyway, that's neither here nor there, because today's post is all about what I was able to get from case N.

Sadly, it was one of those times where all of the stores in my area had the same remnants, which means there were specific releases I couldn't find. To be honest though, I knew I'd have to search extra hard for them, so I'm not disappointed. I'm just glad I was able to find the releases featured in today's post. After all, something is always better than nothing. Alright, let's go over what I got.

This year's case N Super Treasure Hunt is the '49 Ford F1. Obviously, I wasn't able to find that version, but that's a-okay. In case you didn't know, I never usually make special releases a priority. Anyway, I feel the regular version is just as good, which is why I was extremely happy to find it.  

I'm sure a lot of you might still prefer the Super over this one, and I can totally understand why. I mean, Spectraflame colors are cool, but that's not something I really care about. What I'm more concerned with, is the overall design. Usually, Hot Wheels decides to make the top of Super Treasure Hunt versions have additional designs. However, there are some regular versions that also have the aforementioned, and that's what I like about this one.

This release has another thing going for it, and it's the wheels. Sure, I'll admit that this truck looks nice with the Real Riders given to the Super, but I also think it looks just as nice with white wall tires. And unlike this regular version, the Super has all black tires. In my opinion, white wall tires complement the theme of this release. So they are another reason why I feel this version is as good as the Super Treasure Hunt version. 

It always seems like Hot Wheels decides to release a '52 Chevy whenever they release a '49 F1, and I have absolutely no complaints about that. After all, both of them are very beautiful classics. So with that being said, the '52 Chevy is the next release checked off of my want list. This year's release is apart of the HW Flames mainline series, and it's not the typical clean looking ride.

Once again, the designers chose to give this casting a worn down look. So besides the matte finish, it also features rust details. It's not everyday you see a release with a flame design combined rust details hanging on the pegs. So this was definitely a release I had to have. In my opinion, the combination looks great.

The wheel color is the only thing I would have done differently. Personally, I would have made the wheels all black. Now, I'm not saying they ruined the look of this release, so don't get me wrong. I just think all black wheels would have complemented it's worn down look.

Case N also has a car that I've wanted for a very long time, and it's the '67 Oldsmobile 442 that's apart of this year's Muscle Mania mainline series. Sadly, this is another one of their castings that's not used too often. In fact, this is the second time it's been in the mainline. That's why I had it on my list of things to get off of Ebay. 

I'm sure many of you are going to love this one, since it features a Gulf Racing theme. Now, I will admit that it's not quite the release I would have liked to see. Personally, I would have preferred to see a plain release, or one with a simple stripe design. But at the end of the day, I'm just glad to finally have one of these in my collection, so I don't mind the racing theme. I just hope it'll get more mainline releases going forward. 

The recolor of the Ducati Scrambler Hot Wheels Edition is the next release I pulled from the pegs. In an older post, I made mention of how I like when Hot Wheels decides to make a recolor more than just a recolor. In other words, I like when a recolor has a completely different design. There's been a few times where this was done, and this is another one of those times. I don't know how you feel, but I feel this is how recolors should be. Doing things this way makes it so we don't have to wait for the following year to see one with a different design.

The first release is still fantastic since it features a Mooneyes theme, but I was curious to see what the future had in store for this casting. And I'm happy with the design choice made for this one. In fact, I kind of like this second one a little more. Certain vehicles look really good with the shark mouth design, and I feel this is one of those vehicles. Okay, let's move on to the next release.

Earlier this year, Hot Wheels gave us the very cool Nissan R390 GT1, and now it has made a return in this case as a recolor. Now, to be honest, I still like the initial release more. Basically, I feel the first release will always be the best one, since it's finished in blue like the real car. But that doesn't mean I won't like any of the later releases. After all, this car will look great no matter what color they choose to paint it.

I have to say, this is a really nice red, and in my eyes, the color looks somewhat like Scarlet Red, which is one of Nissan's colors. I know it's not an exact match, but I think it looks close enough to their color. I'm not sure if the designers were trying to base it on that color, so don't quote me on that. What I do know is that this color made this a nice release to have. So I'm glad no one wanted it when case N came in.

Soaring high above Diecast BLVD, are the X-Men in their X-Jet. There are some people that can instantly tell you everything there is to know about all of the characters and the various vehicles from every comic book story. Yeah... I'm not one of them, however, I am someone that will tell you if I feel a model is nice or not. And I feel this is a very nice $1 model.

I do know a few things about the X-Men series, but like I said, I'm not someone who can tell you everything there is to know. As such, I had to do some homework, which basically means I had to do a Google search. So from what I can gather, this release is based on the one that's seen in the '90s cartoon.  

I was also able to find the Treasure hunt from this case, and it's most likely due to the fact that it's the Justice League Batmobile. In my area, Treasure hunt castings like this are usually not extremely hard to find. Of course, I could have just gotten lucky. No matter the reason, I'm just glad I was able to find it, because I actually like what they did to it.

Besides the color scheme, I really like the design that was applied to the top of it. Similar to the other Batmobiles released this year, this too was given a pinstripe design.

Well, that's everything I was able to find. I'm still on the hunt for the star of this case, as well as a few other releases. I also still need to find two more releases from case M. At the end of the day, I'm just glad I was finally able to find something new on the pegs.

So what was your favorite release from this case? 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 #108

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

Vehicle: '15 Mazda MX-5 Miata

Series: 2017 Matchbox Adventure City

Boulevard Rating: 7

How I Feel About This Release: Let me start by saying that I really don't like the wheel choice. For me, they just aren't the type of wheel I'd put on a modern car. You might disagree, but I feel these wheels are better suited for classic cars. These wheels are the main reason why I couldn't score this release higher. Now, not all is bad with this release. I mean... it did make it to my want list. So obviously there's something about it I like. The exterior color picked for this release is fine, but the stripe design is what made me decide to add it to my collection. Although I like Matchbox for their plain releases, I also like the various designs that they create. And the stripe design created for this release is not the typical one you'd see on a Miata. Or maybe you have seen one with a design like this, but I sure haven't, which is why I feel this release stands out (in a good way) from the other ones.

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.

Today On The Boulevard: Target Red Editions - Are They Worth The Hype?

Hello everyone, welcome to a new edition of Today On The Boulevard. Although they aren't a priority for me, it's no lie that store exclusive colors are cool releases to have. And I still remember how excited I was when I found out that Hot Wheels was going to be making special releases for Target. Back then, the idea was fresh, so I really didn't put much thought into the design choices that were made for them. However, as time went on, I started to reconsider how I felt about them. So for today's post, I'm going to be sharing why that is. So let's get started.

So, are they worth the hype? In my honest opinion, no they aren't. I actually started to feel that way about them last year. After the excitement wears off, you start to notice something about the design choices that are made for them. One of the main things that I noticed, is that a lot of the times they look like regular mainline releases. The best example of this, is seen with the '90 Acura NSX. 

This casting made it's debut back in 2015, and it's first color is the one that's on the left side of the picture. As you can see, it too is red. Despite being a slightly different shade of red, the one that was used for the Red Edition is too close to the one that was used for the debut release. Personally, the Red Edition would have been better if they chose a much darker shade of red instead. 

Now, there is one small difference between the two, and it has to do with the spoiler. A black tampo was applied to the debut release's spoiler, while nothing was applied to the Red Edition's spoiler. Not having this additional tampo detail is still not enough to make it worth the hype. In my opinion, the Red Edition basically looks like a rare error of the debut release.

The wheels are the only real noticeable difference, but even this isn't enough to make me say that it's worth the hype. Okay, now I'm going to move onto the next thing I've noticed about these.

These releases are know as "Red Editions," however, some of them aren't even red. For this example, I'm going to use two different releases. The first one I'm going to show, is the Triumph TR6 that was released earlier this year. This release was finished in black, and features a red stripe design. Although this color scheme made it my favorite release, it's really not that special. 

Last year, Hot Wheels released a Shelby Cobra 427 S/C in their HW Roadsters mainline set. It features the exact same color scheme that was picked for the TR6 Red Edition. So it too is black with a red stripe design.

What's interesting, is that a little later they ended up releasing a recolor of the Triumph TR6 that was actually red, and I feel it's the true Red Edition. I know it's not, but when the regular mainline release is red, it truly takes away from how special the actual Red Edition is. 

The next one I'm going to show, is the Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR. This Red Edition features a color scheme that's similar to the Triumph TR6. The only thing that's different, is that it was finished in dark grey. One could argue that the red design is what makes it a Red Edition, but as you saw with the Cobra, there are plenty of regular mainline releases with red designs. Now, similar to the TR6, the regular mainline release of this Viper was also red. 

To be fair, the Red Editions aren't necessarily bad releases, which is why I'll still get them when I happen to find them. I just feel they aren't worth the hype, as well as the issues you might run into when someone else shows up to the pegs. I don't know about you, but I think they should do something else to make them special. I know the ones from this year feature the RE5 decal, but that isn't enough for me. In my opinion, they should create a special shade of red that is only used for them. 

So, what are your thoughts on this matter? Do you also think they should do something else to make them special? Go ahead and let me know your thoughts down in the comments section. Alright, that's all for this edition of Today On The Boulevard. Until next time, thanks for reading, and happy collecting. And remember, these are just toys.
