When you collect a certain Hot Wheels casting, you often find yourself buying Hot Wheels products you normally wouldn’t just to get that exclusive car. In 2007, one of my favorite castings, the #Deora II, was released as a #Playset Exclusive as part of the Octopark playset. The […]
Man, this year, Hot Wheels got it right with the #Night Burnerz Series as the whole series, up and down, is great — we may have to do a Top 10 of just this series. Six of the ten castings were #2016 New Models and one was in […]
