About this deal

Similar to #32 above. I like the #55, but the colors are a little bland, and number 55 spitting flames has always given me the heebie-jeebies because it looks like intestines in a Dr Suess book blowing flames. Dark & Light Blue Stripes on Sides, Yellow Stripes on Hood, Blue & White 'Goobers' with Red Nestle Logo on sides. According to a History Channel video and 2018 card description, the HW50 Concept toy is a reference point to making a full-scale version in collaboration with Bisimoto using Dodge Viper underpinnings. It was slated to be shown at SEMA 2018; the model was never completed and all references pointing to this vehicle removed.

This one pairs well with the Isky model from 2014, and it looks awesome. There are just a few more exciting. This one is what we can call a postponed release. The distribution started with the Miami Legends event, but then Covid happened, the Legends Tour was cancelled for 2020, and this model sits in limbo. Whether or not Hot Wheels will hold onto it for whenever the Tour starts up again, or if they will repurpose it in another way remains to be seen. But there are a few out there now, and more are coming, whenever that will be. Hot Wheels Colour Shifters Colour Splash Science Lab Playset, Argos . Find crazy colour changing experiments getting out of control and have loads of mad fun with this playset. Kids will surely enjoy the thrill of escaping from the mad scientist’s lab. This set features one colour shifters car and three colour changing zones. This is everything cool about the Gasser loaded into one model. The bright gold reminds me of the Candy Striper’s standout pink, the deco says racing like a Gasser should, Mooneyes, some of the fonts look handpainted, and it is the best 50th Anniversary Model Mattel made. Part classy, part raw gasser, totally significant. It’d be Top 3 if is wasn’t for the incredible good looks of… Before I start, wanna know what the designer of the Hot Wheels ’55 Bel Air Gasser, and who has a real one he is working on in his garage, Brendon Vetuskey thinks? He gave me his Top 3 releases. From Brendon:And because it is a Gasser, and Gassers were known to be homemade dragsters in whatever deco the racer wanted, the casting is basically a blank canvas for Hot Wheels graphic designers. There is no deco too ugly or outlandish to work. Honestly, the more restrained, the less it works.

The card art was part of the deal, and the model by itself is a beautiful. But in the Gasser catalog there are four above it. Those four are riding on the Candy Striper’s coattails, but they have moved on. Aaarrggghhhh this was a big mistake. How could this beauty be number 21? I really like this model, but then again if I didn’t like the Gasser I wouldn’t be collecting all of them. Love the color, the deco, don’t like the 5-spoke front wheel, and wish it was the new casting. Awesome cars start with epic ideas! Built to launch the next 50 years of amazing Hot Wheels cars, HW50 Concept is the 1:64 scale research and development vehicle used to create the mind-blowing full-size HW50 ultra-modern hot rod! That’s the list. All 33 releases ranked. I want to know what you think. I want you to tell me how wrong you think I am, even though you are wrong. You are here, so let’s rank this thing. No Lamley long-winded monologues on why this model is such a big deal. You know it is, that is why you are here reading this. Hot Wheels will not a skip a year with at least one (or more or many more) releases of the collector favorite.

The perfect Hot Wheels Gasser. The best wheels on any ’55, even if the spokes on the front don’t make sense. The Flying Tiger bomber look is rad on any car, and in spectra flame olive is just amazing. The placement of the Mooneyes logo is goofy as shit, and I love it. It is a mashup of classy and classic. Aesthetically it is the best Gasser Hot Wheels has done. My guess is many of you think this is too high. Are those windows odd? Yep. Is the color combo disturbing? You bet. Is it ugly? Beautifully ugly. It makes no sense as a car, it makes perfect sense as a gasser. I could put it higher but there are better versions. The wrongness of this one makes me happy for all the right reasons. HW Logo 'Fifty' & X on front, 'HOTWHEELS' & circle 50 on top. 'HOT' on sides with white pin striping top & sides. I also like the new release that Van worked on which is exclusive to the display case. The bold Hot Wheels logo and flames look good, it has a great color contrast and really grabs your attention from across the room. It just looks good. Hot Wheels 10 in 1 Playset, Argos. This awesome set includes one die-cast car and ten outrageous configurations that allows kids to play at their own pacing and creative terms. This allows kids to redesign their own course. It’s that easy to assemble.

In 2018, Hot Wheels celebrated its 50th Anniversary. To celebrate, they released the following series: The first and only tie. I said these next few models go classy or sloppy (good sloppy). These are WAY classy, and in spectra flame with classic ’55 Chevy trim these don’t look like any other ’55 Gassers. Not much different between the two, so let’s put them together. Of course, there is a third, coming soon. Whaaaaaaa?? Not Number 1? Not Top 3? Is this to just get us worked up so we will look at your stupid ranking?”Hot Wheels also held the ' Hot Wheels Legends 50th Anniversary Tour' where the Hot Wheels team travelled to several states in the USA to hold real-life car shows to find the next car to be 'immortalized as a Hot Wheels Die Cast'. The flames will always work, but this one is also bland, and following the New Model, Super TH, and Candy Striper, this one was totally forgettable. Wheels win on this one. Color is great, TRI-ME is a cool theme, deco looks sloppy enough, but the wheels win. Ok I think I bit off more than I can chew. Only at number 24 and I feel like I am supposed to put up Gassers I don’t like. I like this one a ton, but it is the second of three colors of the debut release and definitely the most forgettable. Still, the handpainted style of the graphics is spot on. They just look better on the other two. On the 11th of December 2018, Hot Wheels also released the '50 th Anniversary Master Set' which included all the 50 th Anniversary 'collections' in one large case. This set was exclusive to HotWheelsCollectors.com and was limited to 1,250 pieces.
