Hot Wheels Cool Classics

After starting in 2013 as the replacement for 'The Hot Ones', Cool Classics carried on into 2014 and then hit trouble ending the year without 10 of scheduled releases. As this was not the first time that a Hot Wheels line has been cancelled without releasing everything, it came as a bit of a surprise to all that Cool Classics would actually continue in 2015 by releasing the final 10 cars to complete the 30 cars from 2014.

On seeing the first images of the "K Mix" online, I knew that I would have to get a couple of the cars but didn't quite know how. Asking around, there didn't seem to be enough interest from local collectors to assist with the left overs from a sealed case purchase and shipping just a few cars from the USA would end up being a very expensive exercise. Thankfully, one of the New Zealand Hot Wheels Facebook group members advised me that he was going to do an order and asked me if I wanted some cars - I let him know my wish list and waited.

I didn't have to wait long, less than a week later I had a message saying they had arrived and before I could get payment into his bank account, they were sitting outside my front door.

Just love the "racing" tampographs on three of the four cars, along with all of them being very nice castings. Enjoy the rest of the close up images.
