On The Horizon: 2014 Hot Wheels 'L' and 'M' Case
I decided to feature the 'L' and 'M' case assortments together since they'll both be hitting store shelves really close to each other. It's a high likelihood that you'll see both hanging on the pegs at the same time. That being said, here are the unlicensed and fantasy castings you can expect from these two upcoming cases.
- Imparable (also was in 'K' case, missed that last time!)
- Screamliner (purple recolor - very nice)
- Fast Fish
- HW Poppa Wheelie (very odd... and cool)
- Yur So Fast
- Scoopa Di Fuego
- Howlin' Heat
- Arachnorod
- Tomb Up (chrome recolor)
- Twin Mill III
- Land Crusher
- Fast-Bed Hauler (red recolor)
- RRRoadster
- MR11
- Arrow Dynamic
- Ice Cream Truck
- Twin Mill (red recolor)
- Two Timer
- Buzzerk
- Rapid Response
- Rev Rod
- Hammerhead
- Ryura LX (black recolor - very classy)
- Double Demon
- Baja Truck
- Surfin' School Bus
- Fig Rig
- Off Track (regular Treasure Hunt)
- Mountain Mauler (blue recolor - much nicer looking)
- So Plowed (blue recolor)
- Off-Duty

Phantasy Feature: Hot Wheels 1998 Rail Rodder
Here we have another classic casting from Larry Wood. This is the 1998 edition of the Rail Rodder. Initially released two years prior in the 1996 assortment, the Rail Rodder was most recently seen in 2007 as a Holiday Hot Rod. I'd say we're due for another release, wouldn't you? As an obvious mash-up between a locomotive and a hot rod, the Rail Rodder has a very distinctive look not seen often in the Hot Wheels Mainline series. For that matter, how often do we see a train-styled casting? Almost never. The aggressive stance of the sloping front end almost gives the Rail Rodder a sense of forward momentum! This is an epic release that stands out amongst all other fantasy castings. If you like trains, or simply appreciate odd fantasy vehicles, then you must own at least one Rail Rodder in your collection!
