My Internet has been crappy all around (phone & PC), here, there, working, not working. If you want updates on my speculative fiction releases, like August, like September, there will be a LOT of new stories coming October 2026.

This next CASE N in #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys celebrates "World Mental Health Day" for women. It's called CIRCLE TRACKER. And it's got a nifty design/concept to it. #DiecastPhotography #CarPhotography #ToyPhotography #WorldMentalHealthDay

CASE N continues in #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. This next one is the 96 CHEVROLET IMPALA SS. I've collected Impalas galore, but never this one. It's okay. The flames and color scheme seem bizarre. #DiecastPhotography #CarPhotography #ToyPhotography

CASE N highlights briefly today in #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. These are all Mainlines I've NEVER collected for before. New to me. Here we have an unusual trophy racer called GO-REALLA-FAST. And honestly, it's got a nice base. #DiecastPhotography #CarPhotography #ToyPhotography

When you want to get some game time in, or go out hunting for toys, or exercise... But you can't. Because you get swamped with writing, and edits, and updating websites and webpages, because you are your own marketer in 2026. Sigh. #WritingCommunity #amwriting #writing #publishing #editing

Had a mild flood in the middle of the night. From this bad weather. I had to put up these foam things with spray glue. Damaged storage boxes (they're in the trash now, shoes are there instead). Thank God my video games, consoles, comic books, and Hot Wheels are in the other room. #flooding

Last one for now, in CASE N, and #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. The late-in-the-year recolor of TOONED Purple Passion. A car that makes a Mainline Staple into a cartoon-shaped funny vehicle. #DiecastPhotography #CarPhotography #ToyPhotography

CASE N highlights continues in #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. This one is a recolor in the 85 HONDA TURBO II. This would be my fourth little guy. Told you I needed more Honda storage. #DiecastPhotography #CarPhotography #ToyPhotography

Level 191 #EldenRing. And I'm lost trying to find the Path to the Haligtree and Malenia. I just played this game four years ago yet I've forgotten certain hidden areas. #NintendoSwitch2

So I decided it's about time to start cashing in on HALF my PS1 collection. I'm getting older, can't take this with me. You know, keep the Final Fantasy fare and Survival Horror stuff, my college days essentials, but unload the rest. #PS1 #PlayStation #gaming #purging

CASE N again in #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. The 23 RAM 1500 returns to Mainline this year. But blue with a dirt track style logo. Here's a red one next to it. I could have sworn I owned 4 or 5 of these. Will look for them. #DiecastPhotography #CarPhotography #ToyPhotography

Good morning! Here are some CASE N highlights to brighten this stormy day. In #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. New this year is the 1930s MICKEY MOUSE CAR. Gorgeous contraption, well designed, and surprise, good diecast too. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography #MickeyMouse

For a limited time, you can download Future Syndicate II for just $2 at books2read.com/b/bzq9jj Many would like to think that as our species evolves, crime will disappear, but most know this is not true. Crime has always been with us, and it always will. #scifi #sciencefiction #books #crimefiction

The cover for Future Syndicate II. The cover features the barrel of a smoking gun.

Many would like to think that as our species evolves, crime will disappear, but most know this is not true. Crime has always been with us, and it always will. Future Syndicate II features stories told from the point of view of the criminals, sometimes bad people, sometimes people forced to make bad decisions, but always, in the eyes of society, criminals.

I finished the Ranni the Witch Questline yesterday. In #EldenRing. Level 181. Defeated Astel of the Void. Here's where I'm at now. Soon, soon I will enter the Shadow Realm. Few more spots to do first. #NintendoSwitch2

Lawrence Dagstine @lawrencedagstine.com · 25/09/2026

Last CASE N for today. In #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. The Morgan Super 3 in yellow (recolor). This is a go cart racer (a rather retro-futuristic one) that debuted in 2025. Would love to know the history behind this vehicle. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography #MorganSuper3

Lawrence Dagstine @lawrencedagstine.com · 25/09/2026

CASE N highlights continue in #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. Here we have the white "recolor" in the 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone. And that makes THREE. This year they did it right. Yes, it is a potential for Top 10 next month. #DiecastPhotography #CarPhotography #ToyPhotography

CASE N highlights in #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. What looks at first like a chunky bat vehicle, is actually TWO pieces in one. Underneath the shielding is Michael Keaton's Batmobile. Awesome. Mattel thinking outside the box. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography

CASE N highlights in #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. I've been collecting Formula 1/Stock Race Cars about 2 yrs now. Now #Ferrari enters that fold, and dominating, with the FERRARI F2004. In red. New for 2026. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography #racecars

Last two today. Then game time. CASE N highlights in #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. I love this beach camper/beach comber in Mainline. And that's Surf N Turf. I have a ton of these (count, eight!). But I especially love this year's for the wood grain paneling #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography

Lawrence Dagstine @lawrencedagstine.com · 24/09/2026

Got this for $20.00 because the box is damaged. Figure is fine. Normally I don't collect the small ones anymore, but I couldn't pass up on this big one. Will make a nice shelf warmer, along with the other statues. #Mario #SuperMarioGalaxy #Amiibo #Nintendo #NintendoSwitch2

Interesting fact of the day: 60% of adults now buy most of the toys on the market, from games to action figures to cars to Barbie and Pokemon in-between. Only 40% of kids or parents buy FOR their kids in 2026. Another reason for this is because people are having LESS kids. #toys #collectibles

Lawrence Dagstine @lawrencedagstine.com · 24/09/2026

Just one CASE N highlight this morning; maybe another later. In #HotWheels, #Diecast, #Cars, #Toys. Just started collecting for this series two years ago. The 76 CHEVY CHEVETTE. Here we have a greenish gold recolor. #DiecastPhotography #ToyPhotography #CarPhotography
