One of the most common Hot Wheels wheel types of all-time, the 5SP wheel has been used since 1995.
This is one of those cars in my collection that is nothing special. The release is not highly coveted and I don’t collect the casting. Still, I love it! Why? I can’t explain… nor should I have to. The #2011 Hot Wheels #Cars of the Decades #’86 Monte […]
If collecting Hot Wheels has taught me anything, it’s the importance of diversity. Diversity sparks creativity; creativity fuels culture. Without it, I honestly believe there would be no car culture, and certainly no Hot Wheels. For a long period of time, Hot Wheels reflected California’s custom car culture. […]
The Dodge FREAKIN’ Viper! Oooh yes. This is the car I wanted as a child, and still want to this day. Back in 1992, when the Dodge Viper hit showrooms across the US, I used to make my parents drive past a certain Dodge dealership any chance we […]
14 years before Hot Wheels even came into existence, Mattel released its first car: the Mattel “Dream” Car. Sold in 1953 for $1.98 the 1:24 scale “Dream” Car was Mattel founder, Elliot Handler’s vision of the future of the automobile. The Hot Wheels #Mattel Dream Mobile celebrates that […]
How many Hot Wheels collectors know the story behind the #2009 Treasure Hunts: #’57 Plymouth Fury? I vaguely remembered it being based on Hot Wheels Designer, Brendon Vetuskey‘s real car at the time. So recently, I had a chance to catch up with Brendon and talk to him […]
File this under: straight-wacky. The brand-new, Hot Wheels #RV There Yet has just been released and it already has the collectors talking. This wacky car & camper combo is truly unique. It features a cartoony hatchback with an equally cartoony camper on back — hence why it is […]
The #Connect Cars were released 10 years ago. So, its only fitting that I open & showcase my prized possession from the line: the North Carolina #’70 Plymouth Superbird. This car is particularly scarce due to its limited nature as it was one of the last cars to […]
The latest wave of #Walmart Exclusive #ZAMACs came as part of the #2019 Hot Wheels “N” case assortment. In this three-car release, were there of the best ZAMACs all-year: #’56 Ford F-100, #’67 Chevelle SS 396 and the McLaren 720S. While the other two are certainly deserving of […]
This is so cool… I have been hitting up local GameStops for the last week or so, in search of one of the latest Hot Wheels series to hit the pegs: #Satin & Chrome. I had mild success in finding the ’71 Datsun 510 Wagon, ’63 Chevy II […]
With the overwhelming popularity of the #’55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser — and other #Gassers — among Hot Wheels collectors, you knew it was only a matter of time before Hot Wheels introduced a new gasser into the mix. Enter the #’64 Nova Wagon Gasser. Just like the […]
