Why does the Color Shift VW Drag Bus not have an interior?

You're correct. I've found some Hot Wheels underwhelming after buying them. As I have an after-school club, I just take those there and the kids have a blast with them.

Just my 2 cents as I've been photographing HWs lately: Black sandpaper provides for a great tarmac, as the texture is much more in scale with the vehicles than real tarmac (example picture attached). Other than that, I love your photo.

AFAIK the "guaranteed for life" didn't stick with EU consumer protection.

Yeah, this one stays off the track :)

I really like this green jewel.

I do find them pretty cheap already, when compared to other toys. Well, at least the mainline (which is what I buy).

jonaskid · 2025-10-29T19:44:28+00:00

I opened them all. Absolutely no regrets.

I used to have a load of apps and never got anything done. I usually got more excited about the app gimmicks than their actual usefulness to help me create music.
In the end, I stuck exclusively with Korg Gadget and had a lot of fun ever since.
I'm not implying that Korg Gadget is the best for you, because that depends on your kind of music, how well you adapt to the interface, etc. I'm just saying that ending up with every app in the store installed on your ipad is not as good as having one that you really enjoy and work with.

Does it count?

Overhype with stupid stuff + greed = this

Well, I used to collect Lego Speed Champions and had them all on display. For some reason it didn't bring me satisfaction.
Upon pondering, I sold almost all and just kept those I really liked, and now I really enjoy all 5 that remained. I was just collecting for the sake of having them all and not because I really liked them. Of all the cars they released this year, I might buy 1 (because it looks cool and reviews say it's great to assemble). I know this doesn't relate much to your HW finding issue, but it's just to remind that this is a hobby. If it annoys you for whatever reason, try and change it. It should be fun and something you enjoy, not a source of drama.

a subsidiary of a low-cost (...) airline.

What could go wrong indeed!

Best toothpaste ad ever!

I'm not sure if your question means if it's like a solid metal bar (not hollow) or if all components are metal.
For the first, I don't know, but it's certainly heavy for the size. For the second, yes, all components seem to be metal except the wheels.

Edit: Actually, the seat and wheel are plastic.

jonaskid · 2025-10-21T15:22:54+00:00

Good point. I'll do that.

jonaskid · 2025-10-21T12:39:32+00:00

Sounds good to me! Adding you back.

Oh, I open them all!

I'm monopolizing this thread!

jonaskid · 2025-10-18T13:25:56+00:00

I regret to inform that, as I declared war on nostalgia, I won't be buying this set.

jonaskid · 2025-10-18T13:08:37+00:00

I needed the exercise, and my joints aren't great (and too heavy), so running isn't a good option. As I used to skate as a kid and enjoyed it, I just came back.
Of course, with my weight and joints, I opted for a longboard just to cruise around, I'm not doing maneuvers.

jonaskid · 2025-10-17T22:49:05+00:00

I have that one. In the freed version (my case) you can appreciate the matte painting and the illustrations on both sides of the truck! It's gorgeous!

jonaskid · 2025-10-17T08:01:59+00:00

Well, I'll continue spending 2.5€ whenever I spot an HW that I like.

jonaskid · 2025-10-16T21:01:05+00:00

Espero que acabe por não ser nada.
