After taking a week off while our friends on the East Coast dealt with Sandy, we are back to the voting. Only a few more categories to go, including the big one - 2012 Hot Wheels Model of the Year.
But before we get to that, how about one of the most subjective categories there is - your Top 3 Hot Wheels variations for 2012.
Obviously you know what I mean by subjective. First of all, not everyone collects variations, or even cares. Second, asking for someone's Top 3 variations can mean a lot of things, so I am leaving that up to you. Maybe your three are those you percieved to be the most rare, maybe those you percieve to be the most sought-after or valuable. Or maybe it is a vari that makes the model look better. Could it be the 3 best variations you found? It could be all of those things.
So I am deliberately leaving it open to your interpretation.
Give me your Top 3, and if you feel so inclined, maybe a sentence or two on why you chose those three. Remember, you can vote one of three ways:
- Leave a response right here on the blog.
- Leave your choices over on our Facebook Page.
- Or email your Top 3 to lamleygroup@gmail.com.
And to help, here is a list of the hardest-to-find variations of 2012, compiled to HWC's own 1.eyed.jack:
