Hot Wheels of the Day ’17 Ford F-150 Raptor 2021 Collector Edition (Dollar General Mail-In Promotion) RELEASE YEAR: 2021 • CASTING DESIGNER: Ryu Asada With an already impressive family of the Hot Wheels #’17 Ford F-150 Raptor, the collection grew by a couple more in 2021. One of […]
Sitting in one of my many piles of things to share with you was the #2020 Collector Edition: #Volkswagen Sunagon. I received it a little ways back from another collector as these were available at the first (and only) Legends Tour event for 2020 — as well as […]
Leave it to the team at Hot Wheels to know how to move a stagnant line. The #Mystery Models have been a #Walmart Exclusive line for a number of years now, but there has never been as must collector interest as there is now. #Mystery Models Series 1 […]
