Coming off of the fresh disappointment that the 2013 New Model “raked” ’69 Dodge Charger Daytona casting was not a return of the 1996 First Edition “standard” ’70 Dodge Charger Daytona casting (which had been final run’d in 2003), many collectors chose to pass up on the 2014 […]
Lately collectors have been chasing many cars from the Hot Wheels Entertainment line, especially the #Need for Speed Koenigsegg Agera R. While there have been quite a few gems found in that line, sometimes some real nice licensed #TV & Movie Cars can be found in the mainline […]
The other day I was at Target, rummaging through the pegs full of old stock. I didn’t even bother to finish looking through the mainlines as it was the same old #Unlicensed Hot Wheels that I have been coming across lately. Unwilling to accept an unsuccessful visit to Target, […]

DOH! In true Homer Simpson fashion, this article accidentally posted without its content. Rest assured Diecast Motorsports has not gone soft on you as we present to you: The Homer. Way back in the second season of The Simpsons (1991), in the episode titled, “Oh Brother, Where Art […]
