A lot of collectors have been unhappy with the 2016 Treasure Hunts as this hidden series has contained many #Unlicensed Hot Wheels fantasy castings, just like the 2015 installment. As often as someone voices their displeasure with this year’s arrangement, someone almost always comes in with the old Hot Wheels […]

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 […]

It had a pedestrian reputation with Millennials who nicknamed it the “PT Loser” as it was often seen […]

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 […]
