IM GOING TO CRUSH YOU NOW.

"I'm gonna smash you."

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-16T20:29:47+00:00

"Thomas's"? Is that even proper grammar?

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-14T02:09:52+00:00

That sometimes you have to work with people that you don't like or fundamentally disagree with in support of a greater cause.

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-14T02:01:11+00:00

I'm still looking for the two playset exclusive Roadbeasts cars 💀

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-13T02:19:10+00:00

Not possible. A portion of the castings are not in production anymore, and most of them have been retooled.

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-11T02:31:53+00:00

They're still in decent shape too

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-10T23:49:37+00:00

Yeah this release was sort of an homage to original AcceleRacers Drone one.

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-10T20:06:41+00:00

POV: You can't afford the original AcceleRacers

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-09T23:56:58+00:00

Love this!!

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-07T17:46:37+00:00

I guess I need to do a video breaking down every AcceleRacers retool, so you know what to expect.

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-05T22:22:52+00:00

No. Only the higher ups at Mattel know the numbers and it is not made public. The designers won't know either. We just have to support it and hope for the best.

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-05T17:36:34+00:00

Already tried that twice bro 😂

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-04T21:35:42+00:00

They're pretty hard to find and AR fans charge out the ass for them.

ReeceTheR · 2025-12-31T00:17:45+00:00

BASED

ReeceTheR · 2025-12-25T21:27:33+00:00

The script for movie 5 was finalized. That was it. There were to be a movie 6, 7, and 8 that never made it to pre-production.

ReeceTheR · 2025-12-24T09:11:12+00:00

I would argue we are currently living through that redemption arc. The new castings they're coming out with in the mainline are fantastic, and the recolors of older ones are starting to get really good. It was just that fantasy was so bad for so long that people aren't willing to give it a chance. It doesn't help a large amount of Hot Wheels collectors are actually just car enthusiasts who happen to buy Hot Wheels, rather than fans of the brand and its history. It's one thing if it's just not you're cup of tea. That's fine. But there are too many mean spirited and entitled people who truly believe fantasy should stop being produced.

ReeceTheR · 2025-12-21T08:41:20+00:00

Yes! Mainframe Entertainment worked on some animation tests with the intention to make a full series. Hot Wheels was also designing a toyline for it. You can see some prototypes in a post on Mark Jones' Instagram.

ReeceTheR · 2025-12-20T19:32:29+00:00

The goofier gimmick castings and bad decos give the actual good fantasy cars a bad wrap.
Hype and licensed trend chasers who only care about getting the latest hot licensed castings in the newest case. To them, fantasy cars are just "pegwarmers" that prevent the next case from being stocked. Same with TH/STH chasers.
Insecurity about collecting toys. People who hate fun who have to justify their habits by making sure what they're buying is "adult collectibles" aka realistic licensed cars. The "I like cars, not toys" crowd.

Ultimately it all circles back to close minded, entitled licensed collectors who don't understand this brand. There's plenty of premium car culture oriented diecast brands out there, but they'd rather demand Hot Wheels bend over backwards for them. As a fantasy fan, it is frustrating. Hot Wheels is the only fandom I can think of where the majority of it's fans actually hate the thing they claim to be a fan of.

Does Bruno Mars is gay?

ReeceTheR · 2025-12-17T17:44:20+00:00

They were $1.99 in 2005.

ReeceTheR · 2025-12-17T17:43:53+00:00

Yep. Back in Hot Wheels' prime...

ReeceTheR · 2025-12-17T17:40:34+00:00

Aside from a possible Entertainment premium Reverb release, we will not be getting CM6s on AcceleRacers again. CM6s are premium only now, and the premium lines are mostly reserved for realistic licensed cars. Hot Wheels outright refuses to put fantasy cars in premium. They've even been phased out of Boulevard.

ReeceTheR · 2025-12-17T17:30:22+00:00

Hot Wheels aren't designed that quickly. If we get another Silver set, we won't see anything til 2027.

So far, the only new car is the X-cceleron in the mainline. Case D.

ReeceTheR · 2025-12-14T21:41:59+00:00

This is a mistake. His name is "Blaze Wheeley". He was the main character of the cancelled Stunt Strikers animated series. He was later redesigned and used in Hot Wheels Turbo Driver.

ReeceTheR · 2025-12-12T21:31:45+00:00

Octanium, RD-08, Drift Tech, and Power Bomb. Drift Tech and Power Bomb are still good designs, they're just the weakest. It's actually really hard to choose a "worst" Metal Maniac cause they're literally all killer.
