As is usual this time of year, there has been a slump in die-cast finds. However, I did find the new Hot Wheels Racing cars. Picked up the two Mustangs and the Javelin.

I like those and I have not seen those wheels before. They must be new. Will have to put these on my list of the very few HW I want.

Newerish. They were first used last year. I think the first car to feature them was the Parnelli Jones number 15 Boss 302 in the Vintage Racing series.

and here I thought by miscellaneous finds you genuinely meant scrabbling for the last piece of evidence in a huge toybox...

speaking of finds... stay tuned.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this yesterday:



Release 2 came out maybe 4-6 weeks ago, and I'd all but given up on finding one. Though advertised as 1:64th scale, Jadas are a little bigger. Now if they would just do one in the blue and white livery.

Wish I'd have known you wanted one. They've been on the pegs at my Wal Mart for a month or so. I picked up the CHP version, and they had the Georgia and a Texas Tahoe, and some Crown Vics from Pittsburg and another version of the Tahoe for Secret Service or FBI I think it was.

That's what it was. Also had a New York State police as well. I had thought aabout grabbing some for the light bars, but I'm not building any fire rigs any time soon.

Just took out the push bar, cage and rear tool box on a New York Tahoe for a Johnny Lightning Dodge 2500 to make a Miami-Dade quick response truck.

I have that willys but not the Reeses Van. I will have to keep an eye open for that one as it looks good, Good enough to eat. The wheels look really great too.

Yeah, I love the steelies.

I rather like the blue tow truck. Oh,and the Reeces van
