In the second half of the last decade, Hot Wheels got all nostalgic on us by re-releasing several old track sets from the redline era. Complete with packaging art by original packaging artist Otto Kuhni, these sets were released under the Hot Wheels Classics umbrella and featured newer […]

Stars & Stripes: HIWAY HAULER 2

Now that the Stars & Stripes series has become pegwarmers in most Walmarts in the United States, most collectors have been able to get their hands on these. Assembling the blister cards to create an #American Flag mural (with two bald eagles), some collectors have even got creative […]
