While Mattel and Ferrari are still at a standoff in terms of their licensing agreement that ended in 2015, we look at a Ferrari model that was recently introduced–the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. A new model for 2013, this Ferrari was introduced as part of the All Stars Series. […]
Sometimes, if we aren’t paying attention, Hot Wheels will release vehicles exclusively in international markets. These often can be hard to find unless you have a good trade partner in that country. More often than not, they are looking for Hot Wheels that are exclusive to U.S. stores […]
Red is the color of passion and it also demands attention. Often the color of extroverts, it is only fitting that sports cars typically wear red. The Hot Wheels Dodge Viper RT/10 was introduced in red in 1993 just like its 1:1 scale counterpart. As one of the most beautifully-styled […]

The reason I love Hot Wheels over other brands is that the Hot Wheels brand sticks to the branding effort they set back in 1968, making “California Custom Miniature Cars”. This is achieved by customizing the appearance of the vehicles with paint, graphics, stance, body kits, or just […]
Rarely, and I mean, RARELY do I ever come across a Hot Wheels release that I have never seen before. So when I saw one of these pop up for sale this week, I jumped all over the sale. Being a collector for 20 years now, I realize this […]
Another one of those former AcceleRacers castings, the Piledriver originated in the Metal Maniacs segment of that line. Driven by Deezel “Porkchop” Riggs in the cartoon, it is named after the wrestling move of the same name (according to the Hot Wheels Wiki). It has a V10 engine along […]
