Hot Wheels 2010 Kmart and TRU Exclusive

Collecting Hot Wheels can be very expensive when you started to purchased convention car, RLC and exclusive cars.. But then, this is very addictive...

Below are some of the exclusive selection I manage to get this year..

Some history on those cars..
"Back in September 1969, John DeLorean himself announced the ’70 Monte Carlo™, a sweet coupe originally launched as Chevrolet's® counterpart to the then-new Pontiac Grand Prix. Following an initial rocky start in production, the car went on to become a solid seller. Now, getting back to the future… 2009, that is, when the Hot Wheels® ’70 Monte Carlo™ made its debut in that year’s Hot Wheels® Classics series. Now, it’s here once again, dressed in a bold blue base just for this Toys ‘R’ Us promotion! Topped with double white stripes and groovy swirls, it sports the classic Hot Wheels® logo and a number “2” deco, all rolling on five-spoke Real Rider® wheels with white stripes."

Given to me as a gift from a seller in the states, first look and I was really surprised on the beauty of the car..


What a beauty..


Later, Mattel decided to release Thunder Roller for the Kmart Promotion..
"The Thunder Roller® debuted back in 1983 in the Workhorses lineup, a design from Mr. Hot Wheels® himself, Larry Wood. It was issued only a few times in the '90s, then was out of sight until 2004, when it was chosen as the very first sELECTIONs™ model. It’s back once again, with a bold blue finish featuring a number 3 deco (signifying that it’s the third of four mail-in cars this year), and authentic Hot Wheels® logo, die-cast chassis and body, and riding on Real Riders® wheels."

Got this during a purchased made from US for some Hot Wheels Delivery and Garage Series..
