One of the more recent castings that I have started collecting is the Hot Wheels #Turbine Time. Designed by Larry Wood and first released in 2015, this truck with a wind-powered #Jet Engine has seen five releases for a cumulative seven colorways, in just three years — with […]
As a collector of Hot Wheels for over 20 years, its easy to look back and reminisce how the hobby has changed — and how is hasn’t — over that time period. It seems like just yesterday I was writing down my cars that I had accumulated in […]
You have to give it up to the person who came up with the #Target Exclusive #Retro Style Series, as this series has been full of classic castings (mixed with modern ones) complete with some retro style graphics. Although the series retails for $1.29 at Target stores here in […]
With all the hype #Gassers get these days, its surprising the #Morris Wagon doesn’t get much attention. Maybe its because the casting hasn’t been released since 2013 and/or maybe its because its a British car, but that shouldn’t stop you from taking a second look at its #2001 […]
One of — if not the most — iconic Hot Wheels casting, the #’67 Camaro, is back in the mainline in a familiar spot — as a #Treasure Hunt. After gracing the TH series in ’95, ’05, & ’13, the #2017 Treasure Hunts rendition features some all-too-familiar graphics. […]

Some collectors lately are loving to hate Hot Wheels. For the very reason that Hot Wheels were bought for them as kids — $1 toy car — it seems as though in the world of social media, some collectors fail to understand that through 50 years, that remarkably […]
The #Meyers Manx is one of those cars that screams Southern California and more importantly (in this setting), Hot Wheels. Introduced as a #2003 First Edition the Hot Wheels Meyers Manx appeared every year from 2003 until 2014, with 2011 being the lone year without a release. However, […]
One of my all-time favorite Hot Wheels castings would have to be the #’70 Dodge Charger Daytona. Newer collectors need not confuse it with the #’69 Dodge Charger Daytona that was introduced in 2013, as this casting hasn’t been produced since it was #Final Run‘d in 2003. Why […]
Last October, Hot Wheels Designer Brendan Vetuskey was showing off his latest creation at the 30th Annual Hot Wheels Collectors Convention in Los Angeles. I was fortunate enough to have been there and to have been one of the first to take the #Gotta Go for a spin. […]
