I usually spot the upcoming Hot Wheels Boulevard series releases on eBay, new series #151 to #155 is in the chamber.
Apparently sellers in Malaysia have access to them before they ship to the North American market, because they list earlier.
The next round of Boulevards is a little underwhelming, and even completely baffling.
The Datsun Baja truck is cool, and I'll buy the whole set just because I have all 150 in the series so far.
What baffles the hell out of me is the 2021 GR Supra.
Why on gods green Earth would Hot Wheels think it was a good idea to paint a Supra what looks suspiciously like the iconic Petty Blue ???
That in itself is not so bad, had they left well enough alone, I could have accepted Petty Blue paint.
But who in the design department thought it was a brilliant idea to slap the equally iconic Richard Petty #43 on the doors and the front headlight, along with contingency decals on the front fenders, very much NASCAR-like ?????
As far as the others go, I've never heard of the Toyota Alphard, not really a fan of the Jeep , and the CC850 is meh.
At least the CC850 and the Alphard have a clean paint job..... or maybe they should have stuck a big #3 on the side of the minivan ???

I got it now.... Supra-bird, not Superbird. lol
PD's got an interesting 1/18th 2019 Raptor from Autoart, available in Agate Black, Ruby Red and drumroll.... Velocity Blue.
If this was a 2021 Gen III Velocity Blue and not a 2019 Gen II , I couldn't buy it fast enough, despite the fact it's $450.
Autoart detail is worth the money in my opinion. ( Here's your chance Trevor !!!)
Price wise you wouldn't want to buy them all, but if you found a diecast that was your exact truck or car, just once, why not.
