Display solution for cars with acrylic cases

I've been building up a sizable collection of premium 1:64 cars. Many of them come in acrylic box which, I've been stacking on top of each other. It became unsightly so I've been looking for a display solution while keeping those boxes.

I found this 24-slot vertical tower and it works pretty well. Swivel base allows you to view all cars.

I think you I can fit 2-3 loose cars in each slot if space is tight. A bit sticky tape/glue would keep them from sliding around.

Front-pegging stuff for the next person

I woke up early (8:30am) to hit my local Target. It didn't work out as most of it was cleaned out so I left with 2 cars I didn't already have. However, I found they were doing 20% off Hotwheels so I hit 2 more. Second one was worse but I hit the jackpot on the third. Got the 2 Jet Z (TH) and a few other cars I didn't have. I front-pegged the rest after helping a father & son with their picks.

Sadly, no prelude or the Simpsons car but I got one Dino with a torn card.

I stopped collecting Hotwheels to give room to premium brands (MiniGT, Pop Race, etc.). However, I checked Walmart's Hotwheels section today and found this guy.

There's a ton of new cars released but this one (so far) stood out to me.

What's your favorite from the last month? I'm asking bc I'd like to add some newly released HWs too. I saw some skylines, 911s, and JDMs that look pretty cool. Can't find them on pegs of course, but perhaps after some hunting.

I was planning on getting a bunch but was able to reduce the selection to just the following.

Actually, I got 3 pieces (a TOC Ferrari, a DKA GTR, and a local brand Lexus LC500 not shown) plus about 4 Tomicas (including a few premiums) throughout the trip.

Because of HEC and another expo happening during that time, I ended up preordering and ordering another ~15 cars from various sites. 😂
