Today's #DeskCar is the #diecast #Matchbox MB299 Mack Auxiliary Power Truck from the 1-75 1996 release. It is also a member of the Final Responders in #Gaslands . I think the bits on top are floodlights, I think the front one will stay as a light, but the rear one will be a turreted rocket launcher.

This was really fun to put together. It was cool using pieces that are not familiar to me like Lego are. I'm not a car guy, but I love this Hot Wheels casting. I do wish it had actual metal parts, though. The hubcaps should have at least been chromed

Today's #DeskCar is the Matchbox MB299 Ambulance from the 1999 5-Pack Survival set. This will be part of a #Gaslands Highway Patrol team, Final Responders. I'll paint the team all-white with big red Xs, instead of the Red Cross.
They're the opposite of "Search & Rescue", I guess "Search & Destroy"

My good friend surprised me with these awesome gift cars.
There's Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Maisto and unbranded #diecast.
I especially like the Chevy Camaro Concept and the Porsche 365A Outlaw

Lucky #diecast find today, the Hot Wheels Custom '68 Camaro from the Purple and Gold Anniversary series.
Almost bought this at the meet, but found this in the supermarket shipper amongst the five cars for $5 sale

Today's #DeskCar is the Hot Wheels '65 Mercury Comet Cyclone from the 2025 HW Gassers 5-Pack. This is my favorite of all the gasser-type #diecast cars I have. Like the other gassers, this will be part of the #Slime team, Gas-Painz.
My daughter helped me pick the name "SBD" for this one.

Supermarket #diecast finds tonight. I don't find Matchbox very often around here. I was super happy to find the UPS Express Delivery. The others were just bonus!

Today's #DeskCar is a repeat from six months ago, but I did take the photo from a different angle. This is Hot Wheels '57 Chevy Bel-Air Gasser from the HW Reverse Rake mini collection and will be part of my second Slime team, Gas-Painz.
This one will be named "Cheese"

WIP added rocket launcher system to this Matchbox Mini Van. Inspired by the weapons platform of the German Wurfrahmen 40 from WWII.
I'll paint the translucent Lego bits to match the olive drab casings.

Not being at my hobby desk means you all are subjected to my ramblings.
Some of my Pluribus theories:
- The hive controls the hive, not ETs
- Dead doesn't mean gone and they're not dead
- Cut Carol some slack, it's only been FOUR DAYS
Anyone else watching this fantastic series?

Some thoughts on the #diecast hobby, particularly #HotWheels. There's been a bit of a thing between two content creators that I follow about being negative about the hobby, in particular complaints about how Mattel handles things like their #RLC releases.

Out of 225 #diecast cars that I have identified as Gaslands Roadshow Live, Monster High Derby, MLP Racing Circuit, and Friends & Family gift cars, I have completed 104 of them
If I lock this list down, it'll take me about a year to finish the rest. What am I going to do with the other 500ish?

It's to about a full year in #Gaslands for me and I'm starting to feel that pull to start a different hobby. I get super obsessed with something and stick to it for a while, but then eventually switch to something else.
The previous cycle was 28mm minis. That lasted a number of years.

Today's #DeskCar is the Hot Wheels RD-06 from the 2025 HW Designed By series. This car that introduced me to AcceleRacers and the realization that I had other racing drones in my collection. This one is going to be Idris for #Gaslands. I've got another pair that will be #MonsterHigh cars.

WIP added a foldout mine dropper in the trunk of the Matchbox Mercury Cougar Villager wagon. It doesn't quite close all the way for a variety of reasons. But, it's not like I'm looking out for the resale value of the car.
