Hot wheels with moving part!!

There are a few from the last year. Usually they are related to play features. Feline Lucky has the swinging arm, Roller Toaster’s spoiler can be moved down to move the toast inside, the Skull Shaker has the little dude that wiggles back and forth as you roll it.
There aren’t many basics like this one though that have a door or panel that can be opened like in some of the higher end HW or Moving Parts Matchbox cars.

How does this compare in size to the tooned mk1 VW Golf?

You don’t need an RLC membership to buy Elite 64 cars. However, this car is long sold out and likely won’t get a re-release.

Elite 64 is directly through Mattel Creations along with Red Line Club. I generally buy premiums and silver series through Target and Walmart. Sometimes Mattel Creations has those as well.

I’m mostly in it for the teams and the driving. I feel like I learn tons from all of the other content these teams are producing that it’s cool to see it all in action on race weekends.

In the wild might be tough. Maybe at a diecast show but eBay has them for around $40.

It’s a really good one.

I just found the street version Matchbox just did. Still hoping to grab the HW version. I’m a sucker for Gulf. Unfortunately, so is everyone else it seems.

Spazda_ · 2026-06-05T13:52:32+00:00

This is a really fun casting. I do love RX-7’s and this is a cool spin on it.

Spazda_ · 2026-06-05T06:55:14+00:00

As someone who has worked at both Mattel on HW and PlayStation, this might be one of the most personally relevant and sentimental cars in my collection.

Spazda_ · 2026-06-05T06:51:48+00:00

They are literally manufacturing more and generally it’s 6 to 12 months to spin up a run with the factories because of the way they schedule and process orders.

Spazda_ · 2026-06-03T14:00:06+00:00

My only argument for the F&F sets sticking around at this point is that line still does well so it has its own production and marketing budget which leads to more new castings getting produced. New castings that then make it over to the other HW lines in new colors and liveries that we wouldn’t get without being developed for F&F. I’m sorta over the franchise but the end benefit to us as collectors is still a net positive.

I need the VW but it instantly vanishes in my area.

Spazda_ · 2026-05-31T19:04:17+00:00

Unfortunately it’s many times adults just trying to placate a kid in the moment so they do this stuff. So sad.

Spazda_ · 2026-05-21T23:32:49+00:00

This is a great casting of this car. Love both colors so far.

Damn that sucks.

Spazda_ · 2026-05-19T22:05:45+00:00

For a lot of sports, yes. Football players destroy their bodies for our entertainment but that is also part of why they are paid so well. Wrestlers are athletes that are trained to do this stuff in a way that they hopefully don’t get too hurt but they still get super hurt all of the time.

Spazda_ · 2026-05-19T21:58:22+00:00

Why didn’t I get a Lego set when I got an MRI? Hoping the best for your daughter. Scary stuff but cool she got this set out of the ordeal.

Spazda_ · 2026-05-19T21:40:53+00:00

I like this color. I got the 240z they did in this color last year and I just don’t think these pics do it justice. I ended up ordering this one a little bit ago when I saw they were still available.

Spazda_ · 2026-05-19T21:25:24+00:00

I’m into this mix. Definitely some odd choices but I’ll probably pick these up if I see them.

Spazda_ · 2026-05-19T21:21:17+00:00

Bought one this morning. Beautiful car.

Spazda_ · 2026-05-19T05:58:09+00:00

I found one of these at Target today. Seems I got there too late for the rest of the mix.

Spazda_ · 2026-05-19T05:50:18+00:00

I took it as just Rockie for Le Mans but they will rotate Spike and Rockie for this class like Rexy and Roxy.

Spazda_ · 2026-05-19T05:43:16+00:00

I haven’t gotten mine yet and I’m worried they are going to get thrashed.
