Lately collectors have been chasing many cars from the Hot Wheels Entertainment line, especially the #Need for Speed Koenigsegg Agera R. While there have been quite a few gems found in that line, sometimes some real nice licensed #TV & Movie Cars can be found in the mainline […]
To many Hot Wheels enthusiasts, the #AcceleRacers of 2005 always played second fiddle to the series they followed up: the 2003 #Highway 35 World Race cars. The belief behind this is that the HWY35 series contained some castings that were licensed favorites; they also contained fusion graphics and […]
Back in the late 1960s two great things were established: Hot Wheels, and Chevrolet’s Central Office Production Order (COPO). COPO was Chevrolet’s special order system that was notoriously used by dealers to build high-performance cars that were one-of-a-kind. These COPO vehicles were stacked and were mostly used to […]

Turns out the Custom Volkswagen Beetle from the newly released Volkswagen 5-Pack wasn’t the only variation found in the pack. While it was surely the most noticeable, the Volkswagen Type 181 from that same 5-Pack received a more subtle casting modification. The VW Type 181 on the left […]
Hot Wheels 5-Packs don’t usually garner too much attention but every so often one comes around that has the collectors talking. The 2016 Volkswagen 5-Pack has managed to do so as it came with 5 #VW castings, which were welcomed by collectors after a slew of 5-packs that […]

Its been about 6 years of #Hot Wheels Characters now, and among these character-inspired fantasy cars, collectors have found a few gems. Back in 2010, when the Toy Story Characters line was first released (followed shortly by the Muppets), “traditional” collectors sobbed as they thought these fantasy cars were “junk”. Clearly […]
