One of the most common Hot Wheels wheel types of all-time, the 5SP wheel has been used since 1995.
There weren’t many Hot Wheels collectors talking about the Fast Gassin when it appeared as a 2009 New Model. Sure, it was a cool little tanker truck done somewhere between art deco and Japanese bosozoku-style, but with the only actual diecast (metal) piece on the casting being the […]
The #Hot Wheels Characters continue to roll off the plant assembly line at Mattel’s Hot Wheels factory in Thailand. It seems like more and more collectors are collecting these castings by the day. Novelty lies in several of these as they are just wacky as they really embody […]
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 […]
Back in the late 1960s two great things were established: Hot Wheels, and Chevrolet’s Central Office Production Order (COPO).

If you’re a fan of #First Edition Hot Wheels castings, the #2004 First Editions were great because the series featured 100 brand-new castings — well, 101 if you count the mail-in Volkswagen Drag Truck. Even if you weren’t a fan of the ‘Tooned, Blings, Hardnoze, Fatbax and Crooze castings, […]

Collectors have been flocking to Target for the better part of two weeks now and have been picking up the Hot Wheels Retro Style Series. The good new for collectors is that there isn’t one car that seems to be hoarded — which seems rare for a specialty […]
When I first started this blog nearly a year ago, I never thought I would feature any release of the Hot Wheels Power Pipes casting. I have never liked it and to be frank, I can’t believe its still being produced 21 years after its initial release in […]
Fresh off the pegs of my local Target is the Volkswagen SP2 from the 2016 Hot Wheels Retro Style Series. This isn’t Target’s first rodeo with retro Hot Wheels products as they took on several retro-branded products from 2006 to 2007. The first go-’round included vehicles and track sets based […]
Don’t let the orange paint, realistic proportions and industrial graphics throw you off. This is not a Matchbox truck, this is a Hot Wheels truck.
