In 2005, the Hot Wheels Switchback “switched” its black and red colors as part of its run in the 2005 mainline Twenty+ Series. Over 10 years later, the reason for this is still unclear but right away collectors noticed the “switch” as one version showed up exclusively in Canada. The […]
Arguably the most popular and iconic of all Hot Wheels is the ’67 Camaro casting. In 2007, it finished second in terms of popularity to the Volkswagen Drag Bus in a collectors poll. How can the ’67 Camaro be an all-time favorite Hot Wheels car when it wasn’t even […]
The Hot Wheels Swamp Buggy was almost the casting that never was. Originally slated to be part of the 2008 Hot Wheels Turbo Driver line (seen in a promotional shot below), the Swamp Buggy never saw retail as the line was cancelled before the Swamp Buggy “car-tridge” was […]
Possibly one of the coolest Hot Wheels cars ever made is not a car at all — its a semi-truck known as the Convoy Custom. Originally introduced in 2009 as part of the Hot Wheels Classics Series 5, this rig was an instant hit with collectors from the […]

While I admit I bought the 2016 Track Stars 5-Pack for the race team Ballistik, it was hard not to notice The Gov’ner that was also included in the 5-Pack. The Gov’ner has been a Hot Wheels collector cult-favorite for years as it is a sleek track car that […]
Heads up to all you #Hot Wheels Race Team collectors out there! Another race team car is on the loose as the 2016 Track Stars 5-Pack contains the Ballistik in that signature race team blue and featuring the #16. Originally introduced in 2002, the Hot Wheels Ballistik was […]
