Matchbox Haunted Castle Adventure Set (Mini Playset)
This is one set that I had in my collection just because of the model that came with it. Watch the video and find out why =) Matchbox Car Wach Mini Playset http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqSqNqPMJzk Matchbox Shark Pier Mini Playset http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZcvi7d26fw Matchbox Bank Alarm Mini Playset http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur9PWnNNQbY

Matchbox Constructions Zone Playset Product Demonstration (2009?)
Not one of Matchbox's finer moments. Maybe I wasn't operating the crane correctly but as you can see, I tried different settings and I got frustrated with the operation. And I'm an old guy! I can't image how a kid would be able to have fun with it.

Hot Wheels Color (Shape) Shifters
This is NOT how you test the color shifting abilities!

Matchbox Cliff Hanger Fire Station Review
This may be the most expensive Matchbox Cliff Hanger playset but it is definitely the best one! Kids love Fire Stations! The ability for the playset to be set on a table, attached to a shelf, or even the edge of a door is very creative!

Random Loose Cars Box 1 (Blackwalls Hot Ones Ultra Hots)
Many of you have toy boxes piles with your toy cars. Well, I have a lot of loose cars in boxes too and they are not organized. When I go to make a video, I have Jammers cases so that I can be organized but in these older boxes, I haven't sorted the cars yet. What happens is that I can't find the cars and then I forget that I had already bought it and I wind up spending more money on duplicates! I should have put this link at the end of the video since I showed an old price guide: Hot Wheels Price Guides http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0371bMAah9E Nascar Hot Wheels (Multi-Purpose Tee'd Off) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVhWa9Ytm6g Hot Wheels Sealed Cases Playlist http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL17BA20836C472FDE&feature=view_all

Hot Wheels 4-Lane Elimination Race Review
This affordable track set was around again for the 2012 holiday season. Big Lots and pharmacies got the basic track set for around $30 but Target had this special bundle for just under $40.

Matchbox Adventure Links Service Center
It is nice to see Mattel's Matchbox division getting some playsets that make sense for all of their vehicles that we would normally see around town. Actual city streets and scenes for our utility vehicles, tow trucks, police and fire vehicles!

Matchbox 2012 Jungle Adventure 5-Pack With Swamp Raider!
For the earlier part of this century, Matchbox would use certain models exclusively in playsets. One of them was the Swamp Raider. The dirt track used in this display can be seen in my MXS Dirt Track by Jakks Pacific video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v1Q80aqF1k

Hot Wheels Trackin Trucks! Track Loop Testing!
These new sets appeared right after Christmas 2012. They cost around $5 USD. I got mine at Walmart but I would expect them to be available at other stores. They remind me of the Truckin' Transporters. As for whether these work in the Boosters, anytime you have a model where there is no fender protection on the wheels, you should NOT put it through the Boosters.

2013 Matchbox Police And EMT 5-Packs
When Mattel stated that we would start seeing some 5-pack models appear as singles, that was an understatement! The models shown in the Police 5-pack are the Lamborghini Gallardo Police (single), Shelby GT500 (single), Subaru Impreza WRX Police Car (single), Frost Fighter (single), and Swat Truck (single). The EMT 5-pack contains the Ford Explorer Fire Chief (single), International Pumper (Single), Denis Sabre Ladder Rescue, Highway Pumper, and '04 Metro Ambulance (single). The video links shown at the end are the USA Toys R Us Mega 60-pack collection http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGzKy9iaoG8 Build Your Own Police Force http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWj0MxxNrEg

Slash 4x4 Water Action
To answer some of the questions in the comments: ***The Traxxas Slash is waterproof*** 1) This was taken at Pipal Park in Omaha, Nebraska. 2) I am driving my Traxxas Slash VXL 4x4 1/10 scale short course truck. 3) This is a water fountain that had recently been shut off for winter. Not a public urinal. 4) No, this is not a real truck. 5) Yes it is battery powered. At the time I was running 8.4 volt NiMh battery but have since changed to a 7.4 volt LiPo which can be seen in my later videos.
