I can't remember when I acquired this particular model. According to the Hot Weels wiki, mine is the retooled version that was released in 2014. The paint is metalflake black with 5 spoke wheels and it has orange and red flames on the side. The flames are the best part of this car for sure.<br /></div><br /><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29157583.post-61015016924110967232023-06-22T18:05:00.002-04:002023-06-22T18:06:02.000-04:00Johnny Lightning 1969 AMC AMX!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEsGVMKG_GeAN_WT7c8XQyd5zMSFgVHnW_0T9Zug4FwvP031vuHogtmsv04aOckjM90BeL44n1sXwU4t4ILUE-4UrI1-WJmbvqHsHY6lg-afxBEGM0btEwkqtA3t_9EdJEQVSO4meGs6tABAcbRwHdbwiRmxXFaH0NUzv2O9IC2yCRCACU-ibYCA/s3187/IMG_2384.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1842" data-original-width="3187" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEsGVMKG_GeAN_WT7c8XQyd5zMSFgVHnW_0T9Zug4FwvP031vuHogtmsv04aOckjM90BeL44n1sXwU4t4ILUE-4UrI1-WJmbvqHsHY6lg-afxBEGM0btEwkqtA3t_9EdJEQVSO4meGs6tABAcbRwHdbwiRmxXFaH0NUzv2O9IC2yCRCACU-ibYCA/w400-h231/IMG_2384.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf92l8zoAnEYSN3Mn0ndqiVoGmC9U8pL761vTqQ7ZWnNFNqNhXRik1XKL5GJ9q6e7-sgLyDIpq5Wtu6e8sdjz0WK0qpYZV8f9sPtGFdlV0cTelZDD6M78DuM3jecuiEU_1VXgFrMdFWIOrGpVgj1wTfyKzhutf6Pxj3s1IhXnPQwi7UkIrAkxEOw/s3311/IMG_2380.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2036" data-original-width="3311" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf92l8zoAnEYSN3Mn0ndqiVoGmC9U8pL761vTqQ7ZWnNFNqNhXRik1XKL5GJ9q6e7-sgLyDIpq5Wtu6e8sdjz0WK0qpYZV8f9sPtGFdlV0cTelZDD6M78DuM3jecuiEU_1VXgFrMdFWIOrGpVgj1wTfyKzhutf6Pxj3s1IhXnPQwi7UkIrAkxEOw/w400-h246/IMG_2380.JPG" width="400" /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf92l8zoAnEYSN3Mn0ndqiVoGmC9U8pL761vTqQ7ZWnNFNqNhXRik1XKL5GJ9q6e7-sgLyDIpq5Wtu6e8sdjz0WK0qpYZV8f9sPtGFdlV0cTelZDD6M78DuM3jecuiEU_1VXgFrMdFWIOrGpVgj1wTfyKzhutf6Pxj3s1IhXnPQwi7UkIrAkxEOw/s3311/IMG_2380.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5qmn5beCAm5uvNcwRzjyPQ_tQmz-Q2CQ_ZJRkUeS1wU83MSfPk6yQy8FjjLPMsqXM6i1q5Mn2R5t84eOPyVdiZVkmVovne8_scS-VlRqr92e8prUyA5qWttAHNui7R2r-5dqQUQb8rdnetci1sUb3bNk7uJMj1UNlyR4Xs6CzxdfYmwgCgvbkVg/s3197/IMG_2377.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1790" data-original-width="3197" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5qmn5beCAm5uvNcwRzjyPQ_tQmz-Q2CQ_ZJRkUeS1wU83MSfPk6yQy8FjjLPMsqXM6i1q5Mn2R5t84eOPyVdiZVkmVovne8_scS-VlRqr92e8prUyA5qWttAHNui7R2r-5dqQUQb8rdnetci1sUb3bNk7uJMj1UNlyR4Xs6CzxdfYmwgCgvbkVg/w400-h224/IMG_2377.JPG" width="400" /></a></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXvYLyMjXsgnsRhs-a5SNQFXqt5-mPhmRi5ZII-nJ3dpAO-AXEX3v2EWBxzLrvPbNC5dZd3BqymqlxPr5iq0Qi8A0toyCdF4NGZG7ESp93yUndLdfA14TZjFAUPLxXmIThg3ev2SYrcIbS6CGR9spj8b1Btpvu0k9qNUvyfjhyLFO1d5C8czB3Ag/s3107/IMG_2378.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1834" data-original-width="3107" height="236" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXvYLyMjXsgnsRhs-a5SNQFXqt5-mPhmRi5ZII-nJ3dpAO-AXEX3v2EWBxzLrvPbNC5dZd3BqymqlxPr5iq0Qi8A0toyCdF4NGZG7ESp93yUndLdfA14TZjFAUPLxXmIThg3ev2SYrcIbS6CGR9spj8b1Btpvu0k9qNUvyfjhyLFO1d5C8czB3Ag/w400-h236/IMG_2378.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />Today, I'm sharing one of my favourite Johnny Lightning castings, it's the 1969 AMC AMX. This model features a bright yellow paint job with black racing stripes running down the centre of the vehicle.<p></p><p>There's some nice detailing on the body such as door handles and badging. The tail lights look awesome as well. This casting comes with an opening hood.</p><p>Here's the link to other versions of this AMC AMX casting: https://jlcollector.net/963.html</p><p>My version is from the Forever 64 series, Release 16. I didn't like the original rims so I replaced them with these blacked out wheels with chromed accent ring.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29157583.post-20455140296492811932019-02-28T15:56:00.000-05:002019-02-28T15:56:38.323-05:00Johnny Lightning 1969 Ford Torino TalledegaThe Johnny Lightning Retro Release series from 2006 consisted of 4 cars: a Chevy Camaro convertible, an Olds Cutlass, a Pontiac GTO and a Ford Torino Talledega, which is the featured car of today's blog post.<br />
<br />
This large 2 door fastback coupe is long and lean. It has an opening matte black hood that exposes the car's power plant. Despite it's racing heritage, the production vehicle's engine was limited to a displacement of 305 cubic inches. Racing models were fitted with the FE 427 engine.<br />
<br />
JL did an excellent job on this casting, especially with the detailing on the front and rear of the car. Side marker lights, license plate, door handles and Ford lettering on the hood round out the exquisite details of the Talledega. The paint job is a stunning dark cherry red. <br />
<br />
Although it lacks rubber tires, the chrome spoke rims nicely complement the plastic wheels on this model.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking!<br />

Today's featured car is this navy blue Volkswagen Golf GTI made by Maisto. It's a 2 door cabriolet model with black soft top. This is one of the more unique castings in my diecast collection. It's 1/64 in scale and also came in a bright red colour. The headlights and emblems are detailed. Too bad the tail lights didn't get the same treatment. Enjoy the pics.</div>

Hey diecast fans, I just got back from Walmart today. While I was there, I picked up this Kid Connection Walmart Tractor Trailer for $4. I think it originally cost about $10 when it first came out.</div>

It doesn't look to shabby. The cab body is diecast, but the chassis and the trailer are entirely plastic. I tried to detach the trailer from the cab, but still haven't been successful in removing the trailer.</div>

Hey, so Hot Wheels is coming out with a new Audi Wagon casting for 2018. But Matchbox came out with the Audi Wagon casting back in 2006. The yellow one featured here is from 2010 with excellent detailling such as the headlights, taillights, front grille and licence plates. Let's hope the new Hot Wheels version will be as nice as this one.<br />

Hi there and welcome back to mytoycars.blogspot.com! My entire Matchbox diecast collection is probably less than 100 vehicles, but in my collection I have a couple of these International Armored Cars. </div>

I remember that there was this large cardboard box filled with all these loose armored cars. If I recall correctly, they were priced at 50 cents each. What's interesting is the white chassis because I don't think this model ever had a white base.</div>

I would imagine that the company would have put their own logos on these trucks to be used as giveaways or something. Do you have any of these blank promo cars in your collection?</div>

On the body, I wish JL had added fender flares, portholes and skylights to the van. These features were pretty typical of the vans back in the 70s.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">In the 1970s, some custom cars called Zingers came onto the car show circuit in a big way. These cars had huge tires and big overblown engines. Here's some more info about how they came to be:</span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">In 2003, Johnny Lightning introduced a new series also called Zingers. I'm pretty sure these car designs were influenced by the originals. I've only got a few of the JL Zingers in my collection, but not to worry, Johnny Lightning is still banging them out in 2018. You can find the <a href="http://www.jlcollector.net/sfzing.html" target="_blank">complete list of Zingers</a> at jlcollector.net. This sweet black and gray Chevy Malibu Zinger is one of my favourites.</span></div>

Here's the latest M2 Machines set that I found at Walmart. It's the Auto Japan series. Looks like M2 Machines wants to cash in on the recent success of Hot Wheels Japan Historics series. This Walmart exclusive series features three different Nissan models, adorned both as daily drivers and race versions, for a total of 6 cars in this set.<br />

The first pairing is called the 1970 Nissan Fairlady Z Z432. The race version is dark green and the stock version is yellow. The stock yellow version has bumpers and should have silver rims and wheel covers, not the black race rims. According to people who have opened this model, the mirrors are really flimsy and fall off quite easily. <br />

These models were priced at just under $10 CDN each, which makes them quite expensive. I recall that the Hot Wheels Japan Historics retailed at about $5.99 each and those flew off the shelves.

After Johnny Lightning was sold to Tomy, it was only a matter of time before the brand declined in quality and offerings. Towards the end of 2011, two box sets were my last purchases of Johnny Lightning die-cast. It wasn't long afterwards that production stopped entirely.</div>

I found these Pony Power Garage sets on ebay. Each box set included two cars, a collector card, a pair of ramps, a car cover, two sets of rubber wheels and rims, and a tool shelf. The extra tires and rims are nice for guys like me who like to switch out the wheels. The ramps and tool chest make nice diorama pieces. Not sure if I'd ever use the car cover, though.</div>

In this box set, it comes with a yellow 1970 Dodge Challenger and a gold 1965 Ford Mustang fastback. The Challenger is adorned with Rallye rims and Goodyear tires. The Mustang has chrome mag rims on rubber whitewall tires. Both cars sport opening hoods for easy access to the engine compartment.<br />

This set includes a blue 1970 Plymouth Barracuda and a black 1969 Chevy Camaro. Both vehicles have rubber tires, chrome rims and feature opening hoods. With the purchase of these box sets, my collecting of Johnny Lightning die-cast came to a close after eleven years.

I was pleasantly surprised when Johnny Lightning came out with this new VW Samba Van casting back in 2002. Because it was a new model, it was really hard to find on the shelves. I remember finding the first issue, only to realize that it came on a generic Canadian card, and not the regular issue card found in the U.S.</div>

The next four corvettes are from the Rebel Rod series issued in 2002. With each Rebel Rods series, the car came in different colours: R1 was white, R2 was blue, R3 was green and R4 was yellow. The cars also had two wheel variations, one with plastic tires and the other with rubber tires. I only obtained three of the four colours and most with the rubber tire option. A notable bonus with the Rebel Rod series is the racing decal sheet that is included with each car.</div>

While I normally post pictures of my loose (non-packaged) Johnny Lightning cars, there are a lot more in my collection that are still in package. In fact, I would say the ratio of loose vs packaged cars I have is about 20% to 80%. So there's a lot of cars that I have yet to take pictures of. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's easy to keep all of my packaged cars in big cardboard boxes, while the loose ones are in some old Plano 48 car cases. But I ran out of the Plano cases a long time ago, so I don't plan on freeing any more cars unless I can somehow store the loose cars effectively.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

So I learned something new today. Here I thought that this casting was a Ford Econoline van, when in fact it is called the Ford Falcon Club Wagon. The difference between the two is that the Econoline was the cargo panel van whereas the Falcon Club wagon was an eight passenger window van.</div>

Unlike other M2 Machines, this casting doesn't have any opening doors which is a shame as it would have been nice if the side doors had opened up to reveal the interior.</div>

It shows nicely except for the paint flaw over the driver side wheel well. Kind of sucks when you consider how expensive this model is and yet the quality assurance is still lacking.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm a huge fan of semi-trailers, also known as tractor trailers, big rigs, and 18 wheelers. But most of the supposedly 1:64 scale die-cast ones are too small to be displayed with my cars. For example, long ago Matchbox came out with their Convoy and Super Rigs series. They had some really nice tractor trailers, but their scale was probably better suited to 1:87 scale cars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In 2008, Matchbox came out with a line of tractor trailers called Super Convoys, which scaled a lot better. There were several cab variants and different trailers also, which could be interchanged with each other. The cabs, for the most part were die-cast and the trailers were plastic. At the time, they were quite pricey at around $10 USD and about $12.99 CDN. I couldn't see myself paying those kind of prices, even though these trucks were really appealing to me. Toys R Us and Canadian discount department store Zellers used to carry them, but they never sold and just sat on the shelves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, in 2011, Zellers announced that they were going out of business. A lot of their merchandise got discounted during it's final days, and it was during this time, that I managed to acquire my collection of Matchbox Super Convoys at about half of their retail price. I picked up ten different tractor trailer sets, but I think Matchbox must have produced at least twenty different sets. I think some newer ones came out in 2012.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Part one of my Super Convoys post will focus on the sets with the Kenworth K100 sleeper cab. It's casting has lots of nice details. Let's take a look at one in particular. All the others are just colour variations.</div>

The chassis, front bumper, grille, step, fuel tank, tail lights, mud flaps and fifth wheel are all chrome. Details like windshield wipers, mirrors, marker lights, headlights and grab handles are all molded into the cab. The large wind deflector is also molded into the body.</div>

A closer look at the rear of the cab reveals cabling and two exhaust stacks. Now if the cab could actually flip over, to expose the engine, that would be awesome. But then the price would have been even more expensive I'm sure. The biggest letdown would be the fact that the rear wheels are not duallies. They aren't duallies on the trailers either.</div>

Pictured above is the blue colour variation. It has the UT logo on the cab doors which also matches the trailer. The Kenworth badging is clearly marked as is the US Department of Transportation (DOT) number. Fire Extinguisher Inside label is a nice touch too. </div>

As mentioned previously, the trailers are all plastic, but will hook up to any of the other Super Convoy cabs. This particular trailer is your typical cargo container. </div>

It has some nice detailing on the container walls emblazoned with the UT Universal Transportation logo. Black mudflaps are molded into the trailer frame. What's cool is that this trailer has landing struts that fold down when the trailer is detached from the cab. You can fold them up and out of the way when attaching to the cab. For extra play value, you can open the rear door. It even drops down for easy access.</div>

This next K100 cabover is the green variant. This one features a company logo called Sekandari (sounds like secondary?) Transportation and ST. There is other wording on the cab but it is hard to make out because the silver is hard to see against the green body.</div>

The matching trailer also features the company logo and name. The trailer is a open top dumper. The landing gear folds away for haulage and part of the front frame will also angle away from the dumpster so that it can be tilted backwards. The rear door swings up and out of the way.</div>

The trailer featured with this model is a water tank which is removable from it's supporting frame. Otherwise there are no logos or markings on the side of the water tank. The trailer mudflaps and taillights are molded into the frame. Foldaway landing struts on this trailer also.</div>

The next two Kenworth models seem to garner the most attention. They are both car transporters. The silver one here displays MBX Transportation. Kenworth badging and Fire extinguisher are present but DOT number is missing.</div>

The car transporter can carry up to five vehicles. One feature that has been present in all of the other trailers has been the landing struts, but of all the models that need it the most, it is missing here. Why? Makes no sense. Anyways, the transporter is nicely detailed with ladders on each side and rear ramp lowers for entry. Further, the top level will angle downwards so that cars can be driven onto the second level. Not crazy about the turquoise blue colour. Would have preferred silver or gray instead.</div>

The final version of the K100 cabover comes in black and the company logo is called Cantral Express (not Central Express - trademark issues maybe?). Kenworth badging, fire extinguisher wording is present, with extra DOT info.<br />

The car transporter is black to match the cab and is otherwise identical to the earlier turquoise one. It should be noted that the overhang of the second level just clears the wind deflector, but in doing so, makes the transporter look quite blocky.<br />

Back in 2013, I visited Osaka, Japan. I wandered into a toy store and there was this table piled high with boxes of these cars. I had never heard of the Taccar brand and wasn't sure what to make of it. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">All of the boxes looked the same, so I wasn't sure if they were all the same model or not. On the outside of the box, there were several other colour variations of the same model, in this case it's a Honda T360 delivery vehicle.</span></div>

I paid 380 yen for it (approx $4 USD). I had planned to open it that night and if it looked nice, I would return to the store the next day to pick up some more. Alas, the schedule changed and I never did get back to the toy store.</div>
