Movie-licensed vehicles are all the rage in the Hot Wheels world today. Many collectors had begged and pleaded with Mattel for years prior to the release of what was known as the Retro Entertainment line at the time (currently known as the Entertainment line) to release specific, licensed […]
The Stars & Stripes series is one of the hottest modded series that I can remember. Exclusive to Walmart stores in the United States, this isn’t another pop-up series like the ones that have been appearing in the dump bins as of late. The Stars & Stripes are […]
Yesterday we brought you the #First Edition #Mini Cooper and talked all about what has made the casting into a Hot Wheels collector cult favorite. The good news is that 16 years later the Mini Cooper is still being released — albeit under the Morris Mini moniker. For […]
