The 1981 Hot Wheels: Dixie Challenger with the confederate flag on its roof is still selling for high dollar stemming from last June’s Confederate Flag controversy — surprising to see since that was almost a year ago. While that release of the Dixie Challenger is 35 years old […]
Well, in a rather busy week for me…and a week full of the Hot Wheels Rip Rod for you, I bring to you the last of the four current releases of the Rip Rod: ….the Rip Rod from the 2016 HW Glow Wheels Series. Sure, its one of […]
