I was in Target tonight before work, checking out the toys as I am apt to do. I’m always on the hunt for new Star Wars Hot Wheels vehicles. Tonight I found the BB-8 one from the upcoming Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens. I have been looking for this one ever since I heard it was going to be released. I’m very excited that I now have it. This completes all the ones that I know of so far. I’m hoping for more of them when the movie is released.
In order to keep my Star Wars vehicles organized and in good condition I could leave them in the packages, which would take up a lot of space, they do already as I have not opened any of them, yet. Or I could put them in a collectors case. I have been looking at the Neat-Oh Star Wars collectors tin ever since I first saw it come out. It had been $12.99 and I wasn’t ready to buy it, however it was on sale for $9.99 today so I picked one up. I checked out the Neat-Oh site and there is going to be an Episode 7 themed tin to be released as well. I may have to get one of those, too.
I am actually unsure as to how many Hot Wheels Star Wars vehicles I own. I’ve been picking them up for months and putting them aside to open later or display or something. So they are in boxes in my closet of my office along with a ton of Marvel character themed ones. I know that I can consolidate these down to a couple of cases if I just put them in those.
The BB-8 Hot Wheels character vehicle was one of the first I saw online and I look for it on every trip. I was shocked and excited to finally see it. I almost didn’t think it was real. I keep seeing orange on a small vehicle and it ends up being Chopper from Star Wars Rebels, which I already have. But now I have the actual BB-8 car. It is so tiny and cool.
And, speaking of cool, I saw this Backdrafter vehicle for $0.99 and had to pick it up. Such a cool looking vehicle. Like an insane race car fire engine.
