Adding a #Toy Fair model is often the crowning achievement in any Hot Wheels casting collection. There is typically only one Hot Wheels Toy Fair release per year and, since this is an internal event at Mattel for vendors & employees, these can sell for quite a lot […]
When I returned from the Hot Wheels convention two weeks ago, I was proud of myself for sticking to one of my goals: fills holes in the collection without overspending. I had some good scores in the room-to-room buying, but didn’t have that huge score like I had […]
Collectors have begun receiving the 2021 RLC sELECTIONs: #’69 Dodge Charger R/T and the response on social media has been overly positive. 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 […]

I’ve found myself collecting more and more #Hot Wheels Monster Trucks (HWMT) lately thanks to the unique castings the line offers. When Hot Wheels and Monster Jam split in the summer of 2018, I thought there was no way a line of mostly unlicensed trucks could survive. Yet […]
You always hear from collectors who went to the grocery store for “X” and found supers, or “soup”. In the back of your mind is, “yeaaaah, riiiight” or, “that never happens to me…”; well, that was me this last Sunday. Wandered into my local grocery store down the […]
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 […]
