There was a little purge in the OTD garage last weekend by getting rid of extras to make room for future purchases. In doing so — in going back through the collection — you can often find a treasured piece from years ago. I often do. The latest […]
The #Final Run series was the Hot Wheels version of the double-edged sword. The cool thing was to see a retiring Hot Wheels model go out in style, BUT do the models really have to be gone for good? Hot Wheels castings come and go every year. For […]
