These releases are exclusive to Hot Wheels 5-Packs.
Ask any Hot Wheels Race Team collector and I’m sure their requirements as to what their race team collection involves, vary. Currently, my #Hot Wheels Race Team collection are all blue with Hot Wheels are their primary sponsor, meaning the flame logo definitely dominates the piece. While this definition […]
It seems as though the Hot Wheels #Ford Escort Rally casting has undergone a little bit of a face-lift for 2017. First introduced in 1998, the Escort Rally’s top-mounted plastic spoiler has been moved to the trunk, and is now cast as part of the metal body for this […]
Back in July, I was walking through a small toy store in La Jolla, California and noticed a couple new 5-Packs that I had not seen before. Of course, the one car that stood out to me was the bright orange #Scion xB. Being a collector of this […]
After a 5-year layoff it was certainly nice to see the Hot Wheels #Nissan Skyline R32 casting reemerge as part of the #Gran Turismo Series. Fans of the casting were certainly relieved as rumors of it being a #Discontinued Casting were dispelled. The surprises didn’t end there as this […]

A true sign that the #2016 Hot Wheels have been some of the best yet? This release of the Custom ’62 Chevy Truck in the brand-new HW Flames 5-Pack. Really, the whole 5-Pack is great … well, aside from the Chrysler Pronto. But I digress. This #Lowered Truck […]
