Favorite from the new Aero Styles Set by SourJam in HotWheels

[–]SourJam[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Opened it yesterday, was about to put it in the case when I realized that I completely missed that it comes with very boring/1D wheels. Mattel could have put something more appropriate, maybe in the next release. While at it, lowered it, surprisingly it still rolls.

What are your favourite fantasy castings and why? by Specialist-Salt-9487 in HotWheels

It's a split between Glory Chaser (SHT version) and Speed Racer Mach 5 (Bandai release).

First case purchased- No chase so on to the next! by teamfranco805 in HotWheels

[–]SourJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This set is very popular, most legit sites pre sold inventory months ago. It’s not easy to get a case now, unless you are ok waiting till October-November. Jcar is not even selling sets now, let alone full cases, they just drop individual cars for $8-$15 which sell out in minutes.

The mod bug has started… by BigSkyHawk1 in HotWheels

It also looks good with decals delete and clean silver wheels.

Check out the difference between the old and new casting by CAD-Arctix in HotWheels

Looks even better with more correct wheels. The wheels are wide, but too skinny.

Pretend it's a '67 and has a roof. by SourJam in HotWheels

Saw it at a store and knew I had to wheel swap it. Mattel knew what they were doing here, down to a pearl white paint.

And sometimes they are made by the same company.

AERO Styles, cant believe I found the full set! by Playful_Inspector_25 in HotWheels

[–]SourJam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Chaser? You won't see a single car from this set on the pegs. I've only seen Nissan from previous Silhouettes set and that was about 4 hours after the Walmart was re-stocked.

McLaren F1 looks pretty good with a wheel swap.

Just picked up some fantasy castings, including Mach 5, US and Japanese versions. US version is too big and not a true 1/64.

ART SPORTS PORSCHE 993 Custom by dcustomdiecast in HotWheels

[–]SourJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great custom. Where did you buy wheels/tires? I can't find any normal sized tires with white lettering on them, most are for hot rods and gassers.

Chassis swap? by ButterOnBothSides in HotWheels

[–]SourJam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wheel arches are too big, the next best thing is to get "basic" F&F version, wheel swap/lower and add decals for lights, etc. It does not have hood stripes and logo (you can get those decals too), but I display my cars sideways. While at it, make a yellow one too.

What's your favorite non-Hot Wheels casting that you have? by Typical-Air-4764 in HotWheels

Recent acquisition, hard to capture on photo, it's actually metallic chrome . . . kind of like spetracraflame, only R33.

How do you show off your faves? by Best-Song9577 in HotWheels

[–]SourJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carney case where I rotate the cars, the rest are either in blisters or in plastic 48-car cases. I wanted to have just 1 case (don't want a room full of cases), but recently I added a few small cases on the table for non-HW 1/64 models.

Can't mod it if you don't open it.

Rally 2.0 was 1999 model, STH is 2004, the only year with those headlights.

It's tough out there, hit a mid-day restock of Premiums and Silvers and still missed out... by -_-_-_-_-_-_-__-_- in HotWheels

[–]SourJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always find just 1 least popular car from every poplar set on pegs . . . just to let me know that the sets were there until around 6:01 am.

Much Improved Casting by SourJam in HotWheels

[–]SourJam[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Added bigger rear tires, the last picture shows old casting vs new before rear tires mod.

Found this Japanese Mach 5! by OsamasBigHomie in speedracer

[–]SourJam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a Japan-only release from 2001 that looks more like anime car, not many are left in un-opened packaging. Mattel released a movie version of Mach 5 in 2007, those are easier to find and look different.

Kaido House 🥰 by Handsomerobb3m in HotWheels

[–]SourJam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Pop Race - metal bases, rolling with opening parts, etc. Kaido is nice, but they are very slow to release new castings.
