There aren’t many older premium Hot Wheels #Lamborghinis out there. Hot Wheels and #Ferrari had a deep relationship pre-2015 before they parted ways, so not many Lambos saw the opportunity to grab the slots dedicated to exotics in premium. Granted, Hot Wheels premium was nothing like it is […]
A couple months ago, I did a feature on my expansive Dodge Charger Collection. While grabbing a few details about the #Auto Affinity / #Blvd. Bruisers Series releases, I came across this pair of #’63 Chevy Impalas — erroneously marked as a “1964 Impala” on their cards. They […]
If you’ve been collecting since the 2000s or so, you probably remember the #100% Hot Wheels. I know I do, and the reputation that follows them: pegwarmers shelfwarmers. Its funny how collecting has shifted from 20 years ago to 10 years ago to now. Before the days of […]
Here’s a Hot Wheels release you don’t see too often: the #2004 Hot Wheels #Pitpass Exclusive, #Cadillac Escalade. It served as the #Promotional Vehicle used to promote Hot Wheels and the clothing brand / online retailer, Pitpass. It was released in a similar fashion to last year’s Illest/Fatlace […]

In the early 2000s the Hot Wheels Super Van made a triumphant return as it had several premium releases from 2003 to 2008 at HotWheelsCollectors.com (#HWC) and as #Convention Exclusives. This retool was dubbed as the ’70s Van due to the Super Van name belonging to another company at the time […]
The other day, on the forums over at HotWheelsCollectors.com, a fellow collector was asking about this strange orange car they found in a Hot Wheels 9-car Gift Pack. That orange car in question was the Fast Fuse which has been a #Multi-Pack Exclusive for most of 2016, but […]
Today in the United States, we remember and honor our servicemen and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. Memorial Day in the U.S. is full of cookouts, festivals and parades to honor those individuals and it also serves as the unofficial start to summer. Hot […]
Only the designers at Hot Wheels can successfully take an ice cream truck and turn it into a hot rod! As one of #Mark Jones Designs, the Cool-One first caught the eye of collectors and kids alike when it appeared on the 2004 Hot Wheels “Hot 100” Poster […]
