Hot Wheels 2026 Walmart Automotive Silver Series / Rally Racers “R” CASE REPORT

Here is another store exclusive #Case Report! I was able to buy a case of the #Walmart Exclusive, Themed Automotive Silver Series / Rally Racers (mix R) off of eBay for a decent price. These Themed Automotive mixes are always popular with collectors and are often challenging to find a full set of at your local Walmart. One thing to note with this case/mix: these are now being produced in Indonesia, instead of Malaysia.

#Rally Racers is a mix of 5 “Group B style” race cars featuring each car airborne on their respective card art. The ’87 Audi Quattro goes from mainline — last released as a Super Treasure Hunt — to #Silver Series in an Audi-inspired rally deco. Same goes for the Honda S800 Racing — another casting that debuted in 2024. It goes from mainline — last released as a regular Treasure Hunt — to Silver Series. The red color with racing deco pairs nice with it’s previous two releases (both in racing liveries) in yellow and orange.

I am starting to see a trend here… the #Ford Escort RS2000 goes from mainline — last released as a Super Treasure Hunt — to this Rally Racers mix. We finally get the Ford inspired racing deco this casting deserves. The tampo coverage on this one goes across the hood, roof, and truck on top to both sides — even on the front and back! This is a great example of the excellent hybrid tampo work being done at the factory in Indonesia bridging the use of tampos and direct inkjet graphics.

One of the most popular Hot Wheels castings of all-time, the #’71 Datsun 510, is slotted here and is sure to drive collectors crazy as many will grab this one for trade bait or to resell.

The only release here with a metal chassis is the Lancia Rally 037. Coming two to a case, I wouldn’t classify this as a chase. Unlike teh others in this case, this casting was designed for premium and moves to the #Silver Series here — hence the metal base.

Check out the unboxing video below as I personally unbox one of these 10-count cases on the OTD YouTube Channel within the full #Case Report that you see here.

Hot Wheels Automotive Silver Series cases (GDG44) are exclusive to Walmart in the United States and contain only 10 vehicles, unlike Hot Wheels basics cases which have 72. In this mix, you will get the case breakdown seen below which can also been seen in the unboxing video above.
