The first 2019 wave of Lionel Authentics is primarily Darlington Throwback cars. I plan on getting the Kevin Harvick Hunt Bros Pizza car

I started cleaning my attic room today, and I unearthed all of my old Winners Circle plastic hoods. I thought they were long gone. I don't know what I'm going to do with them

I collected most of the first half of 2018 waves but stopped for a while just mildly got back into it today and picked up the bushs 37 and Elliot hooters wave 12 I most likely will never see the Denny at retail but anyway the few I regret not getting in the mean time of not collecting was definitely any MMs Kyle Busch (just a fan of his sponsor not so much him lol) and the Hellman’s dale jr

It's been a while since I've been here, but I've recently picked up the 18 and 9 from last season's Darlington race (HUGE fan of the Skittles scheme, had to have it) and I've since amassed quite the collection of 1/64 Hooters cars. I'm led to believe Biffle's doesn't exist, because I've looked everywhere and couldn't find one. Sidenote, a lot of Bodine 11 cars I bought came with a Kulwicki promo card thing where he's surrounded by funky hawt '90s Hooters Girls with the Winston Cup trophy in it and couldn't help but wonder if any of those got signed due to his untimely passing.

They didn't make the 1 64 of that Biffle Hooters car. Only the 1 24. If you fancy customizing one. Pattos Place has the decals and you can make your own. I have been wanting to make one.

I didn't want to have to bite the bullet and buy a custom job, but I may have to!

Has anyone found Wave 2 of the 2019 Authentics? I've been looking because I need KB's Chicagoland Win but nobody around here has 'em.

I saw that Kyle Busch yesterday at Walmart Hopefully that means they're getting into more stores and I'll find one soon-ish. Seems like they've been slowly trickling into stores based off more popping up on eBay. They've got some work to do on their distribution.

I love the aesthetics of these cars but unfortunately they don't sell them on this side of the pond.

The last NASCAR I bought was the 2019 Ricky Stenhouse Jr Fifth Third Bank Mustang. I hate having to buy all new Mustang bodied cars since my Fusions are out of date. Like yearly Monster Jam paint scheme changes these are the same problems that NASCAR Collectors face.

Speaking of NASCAR diecast, I haven't been getting any new hats. A few weeks ago I got 2 Chase Elliot NAPA hats from a friend on Twitter for free since my Local NAPA dealer doesn't participate in the hat promotions anymore. One of the hats was an Under Armour hat from when he drove the 24 car in his Rookie year which makes my first official Under Armour item that I own.
I have to get all my 1:64's organized in the storage containers again. I put a bunch of them on display in front of my Lego Architecture sets in my attic since they stop them from rolling off the shelf. I mostly put my Tide cars, Richard Petty Cars, and other vintage NASCAR's from the 80s to the 90s. I have so many cars it's not even funny.

It's not even on TV over here (sadly) so I can understand why. I'm sure I had one diecast nascar growing up but as I was a kid at the time it was well used.

Like yearly Monster Jam paint scheme changes these are the same problems that NASCAR Collectors face. I don't update often, it's usually I'm content with one number. Like up until a few weeks ago the last Discount Tire 22 I bought was in 2012, I finally updated to a 2016.

I was at Walmart the other day and I saw the Denny Hamlin Darlington Xfinity car. I would have bought it but it had a nick on the hood. I still can't find the Kevin Harvick Hunt Bros Pizza Darlington throwback

I was at Walmart today and I stumbled across that Menard's truck. I didn't buy it. Something was off about the rear wheel. It didn't look like it would roll right. Xfinity cars have been lacking QC.

My store has the throwback 18 Skittles hauler and it's the first time I've seriously considered getting one, even though I'm fairly certain they didn't reskin their semi and trailer for those two races.
