So remember when Nintendo thought they could charge $40.00 each for Street Fighter 6/Zelda Amiibo? Yeah, Amiibo is dead. $6.00 brand new in Gamestop. Worthless. #Amiibo #Gamestop #Nintendo #NintendoSwitch2 #Gaming

Last #HotWheels - #diecast today. What an interesting car. And what a cast! I own nothing like this. From 2001, the "1957 Cadillac El Dorado Brougham." A long, classy police car you'd see in 1957 Mississippi or In The Heat of the Night. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography #Cars #Toys

Next new #HotWheels - #diecast for 2026 is the 1992 Dodge Viper in white - the "Treasure Hunt" Dodge Viper with emblem and word VIPER on the side. I also have this car in yellow. Not easy to find. One per stock-filled store. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #Tots #CarPhotography #Cars #DodgeViper

Next #HotWheels - #diecast is the 2026 Chevy Silverado - the Black Widow Silverado! And it's a contender, like most. This one has an interesting candy-comic like wrapper look this time around. And, as you can see, I have tons #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #Toys #CarPhotography #Cars #Silverado

Hello #HotWheels - #diecast collectors. First car I'm showcasing for today in mainline is the 2026 Raijin Express. This big truck has been away last couple of years; I have a 56th anniversary pearl-chrome Chase version. And Feline Lucky is on the side of it. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #Cars

More Christmas Cars. In #HotWheels, #diecast. CASE A and B 2026. And a car from 2001 off a guy on the street. Also found the Black Widow Silverado and Dodge Viper "white" treasure hunt. I'll go over these here over the next two weeks. #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography

Merry Xmas. In #Retrogaming. The year is 1990. Xmas Eve. I would go out in a blizzard with the flu, buy two NES games with my Christmas money. Mega Man 3 & Castlevania 3 Dracula's Curse. I would stay up all night playing these titles, thru Xmas Day. Those games would remain with me for LIFE. #NES

XMAS CARS: Next #Matchbox is another yellow-boxed collectors'. New for 2026, the 1973 BMW 3.0. Hood opens up but doesn't "stay up." Could double for a sports car/racer. I don't have any white BMWs, and found this color scheme to be a must-have #diecast #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #Toys #Cars

XMAS CARS: Today we're doing #Matchbox - Matchbox Collectors! With the classic yellow box. We have the 1959 Cadillac Coupe De Ville. It's a slick ride. Open-up doors on both sides. A chunky, weighty piece of #diecast. #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography #HotWheels

Anybody here remember these action figures which came out between 1978 and 1981? The Adventure People by Fisher Price. I have a few, such as the nurse and fire chief. They were toys of characters with real life rescue jobs and other intriguing careers. #Toys #ToyPhotography #ActionFigures #Retro

I probably won't get to finish Metroid Prime 4 till January. So here is a Late Holidays list of what video games I DID pass (complete) in 2025. #GamingCommunity #Gaming #PassedVideoGames #VideoGames #GameSky #PlayStation #NintendoSwitch #NintendoSwitch2

Borderlands 4 is PASSED. Excellent! The second best Borderlands game after Number 2 (2012). #Borderlands4 took me 100 hours over 9 Live Streams, with roughly 70% Side Quests completed. Story completed. And level-capped Vex at 50. I recommend. Still surprised the GOTY Awards didn't give this a nod.

XMAS CARS: Case B and New for 2026 in #HotWheels - #diecast, a car that resembles a tiny compact Honda called... Drift Box. Cute car. Be interesting to see what variations they come up with for this over the next year. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #Toys #CarPhotography #cars #Matchbox
December 18, 2025 at 7:25 PM
XMAS CARS: You just saw the debut #HotWheels - #Diecast of Braille Twin Mill in silver. From three years ago. A car for the blind. Now enter CASE B. The 2026 Braille Twin Mill in GOLD with black tattooing. Now in Mainline. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #Toys #CarPhotography #Cars #Matchbox
December 18, 2025 at 7:21 PM
XMAS CARS: Today's #HotWheels - #diecast is a chunky variation on Twin Mill, called BRAILLE TWIN MILL. This 2023 debut racer was made for the blind. Yes, a car for people with eyesight disabilities. Here it is in heavy silver. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography #Matchbox
December 18, 2025 at 7:18 PM
XMAS CARS: Next CASE B 2026 #HotWheels - #diecast is the 1947 Chevy Fleetline. Another class act like the Purple Passion. I only have one other Fleetline, a treasure hunt (pic shown), but this particular cast I like this year. #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography #Chevy
December 17, 2025 at 5:38 PM
XMAS CARS: This next #HotWheels - #diecast is CASE B and that's the 2026 Purple Passion. Purple Passion is always a class act; I liked last year's better. This time they went with a pink and gray look. The bottom of the car is white. #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography
December 17, 2025 at 5:21 PM
XMAS CARS: Mattel did it again. Today's #HotWheels - #diecast is a TOP 10 contender, a fantasy car, and it's 2026 Roller Toaster. I have FOUR Roller Toasters, but this one wins for design: A 1960s RETRO "I Dream of Jeannie" aesthetic. #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography

$70.00+ tax for a digital code in a case? Are you effing kidding me? Not even a Key Card? I wanted this. Hard pass. #Batman #BatmanLegacyOfTheDarkKnight #BatmanLEGO
December 17, 2025 at 4:25 AM
XMAS CARS: Last for today. The 2026 Cupra E-Racer. With the word Cupra emblazoned all over it. Pleasant.. Nothing to write home about, but still better than previous years' Cupras. Not sure if CASE A or B. #HotWheels #Matchbox #Diecast #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography
December 16, 2025 at 6:48 PM
XMAS CARS: Next up and also newly modeled for 2026, is the 1970 Dodge Hemi Challenger. I have a few Hemis. But this one is gorgeous in GOLD with the number 70 emblazoned on it. CASE B here! #HotWheels #Diecast #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography
December 16, 2025 at 6:04 PM
XMAS CARS: New for 2026 is the Dodge Charger Daytona. I finally have it. It's a nice looking racer, and this is a really good, heavy piece of diecast. A welcome addition to my Dodge Collection, and a Top 10 contender #HotWheels #Diecast #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography
