I admit that I have a certain affinity for the larger Hot Wheels #Character Cars, which are mostly the characters which have been represented as trucks in this line. One of the latest of said trucks is #Thanos, the latest, super-villain from Marvel’s #Avengers franchise. With the movie […]
Enough can’t be said about how great of a tribute to the Hot Wheels #50th Anniversary that the #HW 50th Originals Collection is. As I stated the other day, the five cars chosen for this series are all modern castings that resemble five of the original 16 Hot […]
Whats to not like about the #HW 50th Originals Collection? Classic all-metal castings, #Spectraflame Paint, and #Redlines… these scream nostalgia. The intent of the series was to place five neo-castings that resembled five of the Original 16 castings, and place them in “Replica Redline” packaging. While these will […]
The small, but mighty Hot Wheels #’85 Honda City Turbo II made its #First Edition appearance earlier this year as part of the #2018 Hot Wheels “C” case assortment. Its a car that the team of Hot Wheels designers — mostly Jun Imai & Ryu Asada — had […]
Pinch me. Is there really a #Land Rover in the #2018 Hot Wheels mainline? Just like #Jeep — which also reemerged in the Hot Wheels mainline this year — Land Rover vehicles have typically been reserved for the Matchbox brand over there at Mattel. Well, times, “they are […]

Just last year, Hot Wheels collectors were introduced to “Mad” Mike Whiddett, a drift car racer from New Zealand. His Mazda REPU named “PITBUL” was featured in the 2017 HW Daredevils series. It was quite the debut for the Hot Wheels #Mazda REPU casting given its extensive graphics […]
Year to year, its always fun to see what mainline series Hot Wheels collectors gravitate to. There are segments like #Muscle Mania and the #Night Burnerz that are perennially collector favorites. However, its always that new “underdog” segment that fascinates me. I have a good grasp on what […]
The #2018 Hot Wheels #Night Burnerz 5-Pack hit the pegs back in January and even after a couple months at retail here in the United States, the 5-Pack seems to be selling (for just over its retail price) online. Collectors attributed the initial surge in secondary market value […]
Last year it was the #HW Digital Circuit (2017) series that caused a whole lot of confusion in the collecting world. The lack of a mainline number in the upper-right corner, caused several collectors to mistake them for either store exclusives or treasure hunts. Once collectors learned that these […]
