When the Gran Turismo series was first announced, two cars stood out from the pack of 8 for me — the Jaguar XJ220 and the Nissan Skyline R32. See, both cars had not been released for 5 years and were considered to be “endangered” as far as Hot Wheels […]
The Datsun Bluebird 510 might have been known to be the “poor man’s BMW” but it is certainly the rich man’s Hot Wheel — with this release being the crown jewel of modern day Hot Wheels collecting. Yeah, I went there. With prices soaring to the $200 range […]
