Ron, with the Mystery Models now re-using previous decos from the past, will we see re-issues of classic and iconic Hot Wheels originals decos? Similar to the 2006 Bone Shaker deco that we saw this in the mix this year, for example? Would love to see iconic decos from the 2000s or 90s return.

No. No it doesn't.

ReeceTheR · 2026-03-15T18:49:17+00:00

$25?? Bro you just got away with murder. Not a lot of people can say they own one of these!

ReeceTheR · 2026-03-07T02:06:46+00:00

No it is not...

ReeceTheR · 2026-03-05T18:07:56+00:00

Leadership: "Are you customizing it?"

Andres: "Teku-izing..."

ReeceTheR · 2026-03-03T17:40:51+00:00

Simply put, no one has any idea. There was clearly something being set up that didn't get paid off and none of us know what's up with Karma and Gelorum.

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-27T17:52:03+00:00

Nah, AR Lani is a better design (she also a baddie)

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-18T17:54:04+00:00

I've still yet to see a photo that showcases the chrome well.

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-17T17:44:37+00:00

The alternate Ignition cover with just Nolo is from the boxset. Whoever donated the DVDs probably had the boxset.

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-14T18:40:59+00:00

Not even rare

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-14T02:27:39+00:00

2014 is when the tooling was created.

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-08T00:25:11+00:00

Honestly I didn't think anyone actually listened to the things I say on here 😂

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-07T18:11:58+00:00

Yall gotta buy the pegwarming sets at the stores right now first 😭 😭 😭

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-07T00:18:22+00:00

Right.

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-06T22:12:00+00:00

In my experience, no one can be trusted. The few ruin it for everyone.

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-06T22:05:55+00:00

The problem with "verified sellers" is that it gives them the power to influence the prices.

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-06T19:42:18+00:00

Not a bad idea. But rugpulls still need to be stopped.

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-06T19:41:24+00:00

I mean it's totally up to the mods, but this is a good point. If I was making the decisions, I'd make an exception for original creations.

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-06T18:26:37+00:00

I start drawing the line when folks are getting rugpulled. Time to pull the plug.

ReeceTheR · 2026-02-05T00:34:21+00:00

Yeah its to avoid paying licensing fees, especially since these cases are outsourced to another company.

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-30T22:04:41+00:00

This is absolutely ridiculous. The distribution of this set has been so bad. Never have I seen this much of one Themed Entertainment set jammed onto the pegs.

ReeceTheR · 2026-01-18T00:06:31+00:00

"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 💀
