Like many of you, the majority of my casting collections don’t start with the #First Edition release. I mean, it’s not much of a collection to begin with unless multiple variants are released right off the bat. My affinity for the Hot Wheels #Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 began […]
Oh, to be able to go back in time and scoop up all the little orange Reese’s Pieces buses from the Hershey’s Pop Culture series in 2012… That’s what collectors wish they had done 9 years ago as the once easily attainable #Volkswagen T1 Panel Bus has risen […]
Looking at what just showed up the on back of a #Team Transport flatbed: the newest addition to the Hot Wheels #’16 Ford GT Race collection. This time, this #Ford supercar from the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) is rocking a replica livery that raced in the Rolex […]
The latest #’66 Chevy Super Nova arrived a few weeks ago. That, of course, feels like months though given the state of the world and how much things have changed. Upon arrival, I immediately freed the “Tootsie Roll’r” from its Tootsie Roll package and placed it among the […]
In the last month or so my collection of the Hot Wheels #Mach Speeder doubled in size. The #Hot Wheels iD release — which was a holdover from 2019 –finally shipped from Amazon in early January. Also in early January, I found the 2020 #Mystery Models Series 1 […]

There was a time where I didn’t collect premium Hot Wheels — so, I get it. Not all collectors, collect all Hot Wheels lines. Us, as collectors, are a very diverse group ranging from all types of backgrounds and varying levels of collecting. Being as immersed in the […]
Four years have passed since we last saw the Hot Wheels #8 Crate. It sure doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that I was finding the 2016 Stars & Stripes release on the pegs. There have been several #Station Wagon castings that have been released since, […]
My #Hot Wheels iD #Rip Rod finally shipped from Amazon, and I received it yesterday. I have to admit that I’ve been quite excited to receive it as I never like leaving any loose ends to a casting collection; and this is yet another casting that I collect. […]
