Six years ago, I shared by my collection of the Hot Wheels #Lamborghini Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo. It is — and continues to be — one of my smaller casting collections, but that shouldn’t take away from how nice this Lamborghini casting is. Now, I finally provide […]
The #Muscle Bound is a Hot Wheels casting I’ve been draw to since its debut in 2019. Sure, that amazing deco on the first release had something to do with it, but six variants in, I’m still digging it! This futuristic muscle car has the lines, the attitude, […]
One of the things I love about collecting Hot Wheels is being exposed to cars (and car brands) that I would never even be interested in otherwise. #Renault — the French automaker — is one of them. In recent years, I have learned more and more about their […]

This spectraflame purple HELLEPHANT beast is technically the 2nd release of this restomod ’69 Charger casting, but 3rd in-hand as collectors received the orange convention release […]
At this point, not much more can be said about the #Datsun Bluebird 510. The once-peg-warmer, is now one of the most sought-after Hot Wheels castings in the 54-year history of the brand. Every release of it is an event from the initial shots of the upcoming model […]
