Hi all and welcome to our new domain address.  We hope to improve the site and add even more in which you may be interested.  Two of our new page debuts are Real Cars by Big Arv and What's Buggin' JP.  Make sure to check them out.  Big Arv talks about the Heinz Phantom Corsair on which the Hot Wheels Phantom Corsair is based.  JP is on a mission to find out exactly what goes on in the toy stores in regards to stocking new inventory.

A lot of our pages aren't finished yet but I am working as fast as I can.  I will be working backwards in the Hot Wheels Collector Number pages starting with page 850.  The pages will be finished as soon as possible.  The other pages will be done in the order in which we feel you, our visitors and friends, usually look at them.  I have tons of new Racing Champions information to post from WD60 and am hoping to whip the Matchbox and Playing Mantis/Johnny Lightning pages into shape.  Remember I work alone so this will take some time.  I will start each day updating News, Townhall, Ads and the new Trivia, Quotes & Jokes page.  Then I will work on completing the remainder of the pages.

A lot of the links will lead to an incomplete page for a while.  I will post a date as they become active.  Bear with me and if you have any suggestions please send them to us.  You will notice we have a new email address but the old one will still be active and I will check the mail at both addresses each day (except Sunday which I will be taking off - unless Dennis is working and then I will probably be on line).  If you wish to send email to a specific staff member please type their name in the subject box and it will be forwarded directly to them.

We hope to get a chat date set up at least once every month so you will have a chance to chat with the staff if you wish.  The dates will be posted on the Chat Sites page.

We would like to hear from more of our visitors as to how collecting is in their area, whether you are in Europe, Asia, North or South America, etc.  If you specialize in any one area of collecting and have information that would improve the picture or collector number pages please send it to us.  We would like to have a history on all the off shoots of Hot Wheels - Zowees, Crack Ups, Rrrumblers, etc.  If you know about any die cast cars produced that we don't have on the site please let us know.

We hope also to go to the larger size die cast.  One thing about posting the history/photo information is that once it is done it doesn't take much updating.  So if you collect Maisto, Ertl, Road Champs or whatever and want to share information about those cars we would love to hear from you.  If you have pictures please let me know before you send them.  I don't want to get backed up too far.  :-)

So come on in, look around and let us hear from you.  Our visitors/friends are how we keep others informed as to what is showing up where in the world.  Good luck to all of you in obtaining some of the new 99 First Editions or series cars in Johnny Lightning, Matchbox and Racing Champions.  Trish
