Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) hits theaters worldwide today and with that comes the annual inundation of toys licensed by the #Star Wars movie franchise. While the Hot Wheels aisle has already been laden with Star Wars vehicles — Carships, Starships, Character Cars and Pop Culture — […]
One of the more recent castings that I have started collecting is the Hot Wheels #Turbine Time. Designed by Larry Wood and first released in 2015, this truck with a wind-powered #Jet Engine has seen five releases for a cumulative seven colorways, in just three years — with […]
