Newer collectors have heard of Larry Wood, but man, did they miss out knowing his presence when he was still designing for Hot Wheels at Mattel. 15 years ago, Larry dominated the Hot Wheels brand as his designs and inspiration could be seen behind many of the brand’s […]
There was a little purge in the OTD garage last weekend by getting rid of extras to make room for future purchases. In doing so — in going back through the collection — you can often find a treasured piece from years ago. I often do. The latest […]
East Coast vs West Coast. Nationals vs Convention. Spring vs Fall. Dodge vs Chevy. Us collectors love a good debate. Mark & Jennifer, the folks at Collectors Events Unlimited (CEU) know how to put on great Hot Wheels Nationals/Convention events, and they know how to pick some killer […]
I was re-organizing the collection a couple weeks ago when I came across the #Amphicar from the #2012 Hot Wheels #Boulevard line. Since I organize the majority of my loose collection by auto manufacturer now, I had to put the Amphicar aside. The 1:1 Amphicar was manufactured by […]
