Got this haul a week ago...oops.

 I found the new Mini Racers Hot Rod Mater 15-pack a little over a week ago...and never posted it here....This pack is great, it had six minis that I didn't have before (the non-metallic Sterling, Flip, Buck, Artist Ramone, Todd, and of course, Hot Rod Mater himself.) I love seeing new minis from Cars 2, and new Mater variants, so this pack is definitely a win in my book!

Long Awaited Minis Haul!

 I just found these Mini 3-Packs at Target, I had no idea that they were even out in the U.S.! This latest wave of mini 3-packs has some great new releases, most notably Lizzie, who finally got a Mini Racer after four years of waiting! There's also the Racing Red 3-pack with 3 new releases! I always think it's so cool whenever they make Mini versions of cars that were originally made for the 1:55 scale line, like these or the XRS Minis from a few years back. I hope that the other three Racing Red cars (Francesco, Cruz, and Jackson) are made as well, maybe as their own 3-Pack? Then, finally, there's the Dusty Rust-eze, Lightning, and Mater 3-Pack, easily the weakest one in my opinion. Mater being included instead of Rusty is really unfortunate and a really cheap move in my opinion. Despite this, the mini for Dusty looks great! All in all, I'm really excited to have these new minis, and I can't wait to see what minis are made next, as the new releases are always big surprises for me!

Joe Don Jackson Haul!

 ...What? Having a clever name for every haul is difficult. 

Recently picked up Joe Don Jackson, another car that I missed out on earlier in the year. He definitely isn't my favorite of the legends, but he definitely is a unique one!

New Haul: Better Late Than Never!

 I picked up Robert Jamjones here last week, a great 2021 release that I really wanted to get. I was starting to get concerned that I wouldn't be able to find him in a store, since he's been out for a while know and I hadn't seen him, but I was able to find him at Target!

New Mini Pack Haul!

 I was really shocked to see that a local toy store by me has started selling the new mini racer 10-packs, which aren't sold in stores in my area. I picked up this one for the exclusive Radiator Springs Ramone (which is one of my favorite Ramone paint jobs) and I also got it for the Fillmore mini, who I did not have yet. The rest of the minis are going to be made into a bunch of different customs that I've been wanting to make.

Very Mediocre 2-Pack Haul

 Meh.

No, but really, there isn't much to say about this 2-pack that I picked up at Target today. I've been very disappointed with the 2021 2-packs, as none of them have that many interesting rereleases like the 2-packs of other recent years. Out of all of the 2021 2-packs, there is only one new release exclusive to a 2-pack: Double-Clutch Daley. I really hope that next year's 2-packs are better, but until then, this is probably going to be the last 2-pack I'll buy for the year, as it's the only one with a car in it that I don't have: Okuni. Despite Shigeko and Okuni having been rereleased several times throughout the years, I actually never got Okuni until now, so it's nice to finally have her. I did, however, have Shigeko, so I'm not quote sure what I'll do with her. Even though this 2-pack had a car I was missing, it still isn't all that interesting to me, as this same 2-pack was released back in 2016. I really would've preferred to see Tamiko in this 2-pack instead of Shigeko, but, whatever.... Let me know your thoughts on this 2-pack (and 2021 2-packs in general) in the comments!

New Target Haul!

 I did not expect to find the latest wave of singles so soon, but I'm very glad I did! I just picked up Nick Shift, Clovis Rider, Racing Red Francesco, and Rusty Cornfuel at Target, four great releases that I'm happy to have found! I've been wanting Nick Shift for a long time, Racing Red Francesco has been one of my most anticipated 2021 releases, Clovis is way cooler than I first thought (I didn't like him much at first), and Rusty Cornfuel is another very nice piston cup racer that I was missing. Let me know what you think about these guys in the comments!
