I stopped over at Target today and I was very excited about a couple things that I found. First I found the new Captain America Civil War 5-Pack of Hot Wheels cars. The new individual cars were not out but this 5-pack is great with an exclusive Battle Damaged War Machine car inside. The rest of the cars except for Iron Man have been recolored. Iron Man has been redesigned. It makes sense because Tony Stark is always creating and recreating himself and his armor. The character vehicles in the set are Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Iron Man and Battle Damaged War Machine.
I also found an amazing find. Hot Wheels has re-released some classic cars and playsets. The re-released the classic STo & Go playset. I actually got giddy when I saw it because this was something that I had as a kid and I loved it. The classic was from 1979 and it was awesome. I cannot wait to open this one. I just ran out of time today so I wasn’t able to open it for the vlog. I do mention it in today’s vlog, though.
Our very first interview during the #AvengersEvent press junket was with Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) and Cobie Smulders (Agent Maria Hill).

There was a lot of character development for Hawkeye in this movie including something that I wanted to ask him about right away, but it is a spoiler and so I’ll have to leave that question for the spoiler episode of Dad.FM podcast that I did.
Each time I hear people talk about the movie and the female characters they always mention Black Widow and Scarlet Witch but they don’t mention Maria Hill as much. Maria Hill certainly is a strong female character in the movies and she also shows up in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. once in a while. It think that it is because she isn’t in the movies as much as the other characters and there hasn’t been much of a story around her so far. The first question that I can talk about was for Cobie.
