I was looking for some Hot Wheels to buy as Christmas gifts for my nephews when I saw this ’70 Dodge Charger (not to be confused with the ’70 Dodge Charger R/T) from the movie Furious 7. It’s a good thing my nephews seem to prefer modern supercars; this one goes to the collection that I and my wife have.

Fangula
This Hot Wheels Fangula looks really nice in matte black. I’m not really into pinstripes, but the design on the side (with the circle flame logo in red) looks nice.
The Philippines in 1598
Swann Galleries sold this double-page engraved map of the islands of Southeast Asia last December 8, 2016. Lot 70 was a copy of Petrus Placius’s Insulae Moluccae Celeberrimae printed in 1598. What interested me the most is the fact that the Philippines is represented with Luzon and Visayas in blue and Mindanao in red, implying that Mindanao is a separate entity from the rest of the Philippines.
K.I.T.T.
I recently bought another Hot Wheels K.I.T.T.. (My earlier one was from 2012. I also have a Super Pursuit Mode version of it.) Although this mainline casting was first made in 2012, the base of this recent model has a copyright year of 2016.
