On The Horizon: 2014 Hot Wheels 'K' Case

Indeed, Hot Wheels' 2014 'K' Case has arrived. Check your local retailer for the following fantasy and unlicensed vehicles!

  • HW Pursuit
  • Let's Go (LEGO Minifigure Compatible!)
  • 24/Seven
  • Hi-Tech Missile
  • Torque Twister
  • Monster Dairy Delivery
  • Project Speeder
  • Max Steel Motorcycle
  • Audacious

'K' Case is light on fantasy and unlicensed vehicles, but that doesn't mean there's not some great pieces to be had. The prize in this case is probably the Monster Dairy Delivery. It's just so much fun and is easily customizable. I plan on pulling a few apart myself and painting it in multiple custom colors. Also of note is the newest LEGO compatible vehicle, the Let's Go. Be on the lookout my friends!

Phantasy Feature: Hot Wheels 1985 First Edition XT-3

 
 
 
 
 

What a wonderful find this First Edition XT-3 was! I found this beauty stashed in the bottom of a box of old toys I purchased for my business (I'm a vintage toy dealer). The XT-3 was still sealed in its original bubble and had never been removed! Of course the original backing card was long gone, but that's no big deal. Like a time capsule of awesomeness, I finally released this First Edition Larry Wood original for all the world to enjoy. The XT-3 is a well designed fantasy car, of which I have multiple versions. The XT-3 was released between 1985 and 2001; it was a member of the Final Run club in the latter year. Definitely ahead of its time and channeling a very futuristic vibe, the XT-3 is the epitome of what fantasy cars are all about. If you haven't already done so, do yourself a favor and find one to add to your collection!
