Pleased to announce I've received my 4th PRO CREDIT the past few years. That's all I can say at this time; more details to come in the very near future. #publishing #writing #WritingCommunity #writers #writersky #authors #authorsky #books #booksky #shortstories #fiction #speculativefiction
One more today. In #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. Mainline. The late-in-the-year recolor in the Datsun 620 pickup. And it's obvious I need more Datsun storage now. A gorgeous gleaming blue, this one. Next time you see #DiecastPhotography or #CarPhotography it'll be MY TOP 10 Mainlines for 2026.
Lawrence Dagstine@lawrencedagstine.com · 8h agoNew Hot Wheels THE HOT ONES hitting shelves. Creeping in, little by little. Some of these are weighty, dynamite casts too. I nabbed the 32 FORD & 73 HONDA CIVIC CUSTOM. Two car series I collect for. #HotWheels #Diecast #DiecastPhotography #Toys #ToyPhotography #Cars #CarPhotography #TheHotOnes
Sorry, meant to say "pegs." Not shelves.

Finally have my remaining sci-fi pulp paperbacks put away neatly (including some Doctor Who paperbacks, Andre Norton, Heinlein, Brunner, etc). By the way, if you've never read Lester Del Ray or H. Beam Piper, I highly recommend them. They were ahead of their time. #sciencefiction #speculativefiction

Elden Ring Tarnished Edition is PASSED for #NintendoSwitch2. Level 212. It is still a masterpiece, 150 bosses later, and it is a 10 out of 10. A must own (this version). And most likely my GAME OF 2026. I chose the decadent "Lord of the Frenzied Flame" ending. #EldenRing #DarkSouls #VideoGames

Stay Tuned.
Lawrence Dagstine@lawrencedagstine.com · yesterdaySo I checked out what variants & recolors, what exactly IS in Hot Wheels Case P. There are some new Zamacs, some final RED Editions. But I pretty much have the photographs of MY TOP TEN MAINLINE 2026. Any day now. These #HotWheels choices were unique for some reason, from cast to concept to style.

Only three bosses left in Elden Ring (not the DLC, the main game).
I'm still going over my TOP 10 MAINLINE for 2026. I still have five more to decide on, counting down in order. Give it about three weeks, or after CASE P.
Lawrence Dagstine@lawrencedagstine.com · 2d agoThere's not one bad #HotWheels car in this Silver Series set. I like these better than the upcoming 2027 Pantones. I happen to collect these 5 cars, and these are new "Japanese Import" vehicles for 2027 (they're still in Malaysia, haven't hit the States yet): ebay.io/m/GOy3id

Defenders Issue #103: A return to Gargoyle's hometown before he made a deal with a demon. This weird team remains one of the more interesting creations as an odd assortment with even stranger adversaries. Credit @jmdematteis.bsky.social for one of the best runs on this series! #OctCharacterCover

Have this. Graded. One of my favorite Marvel Superhero groups of all time.

Yeah. So now you are all subject to my book pictures. And my Hot Wheels pictures. And my cat pictures. This is Simba. He's 12 weeks old. He's frightened; he's hiding because everything is so new and overwhelming. #cats #kittens #OrangeCats #pets
If you're new here, WELCOME. I talk about science fiction and horror, writing and books, video games, pop culture, and Hot Wheels collecting (diecast). #WELCOME
The Old Man and the Sea. Was a beautiful day today; got seven miles in. #outdoorfitness #walking #Autumn #Waterfront
Mattel got the rights to the Super Powers Legacy line. For 2027. It was announced at New York Comic Con. Zatanna and Bane are in the debut lineup (Zatanna is Day One for me). #Mattel #Zatanna #SuperPowers #ActionFigures #Toys #ToyNews #ToySky #DCcomics
Speaking of middle of the night gaming (and like four hours a day sleep), I'm in the endgame in #EldenRing. I beat Fire Giant yesterday. It's just Shadow of the Tree Expansion bosses and the Final Game Bosses to become Elden Lord. That's it. But the Shadow Realm is hard as F. #NintendoSwitch2
TOP TEN HOT WHEELS 2026 comes after Nov. 1, fellow collectors. I didn't think Halloween writing, editing, publishing would be so busy this particular October. Been swamped. My only gaming time is middle of the night. But this gives me time to choose my ten Mainlines carefully. #HotWheels
