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 […]
We are in the midst of the holiday season and, for me, it’s a great time to reminisce. Reminisce about years past, reminisce about the past year. The same goes for my collection. It is a great time to look back at what you’ve accumulated in the last […]
Its almost been 20 years since we’ve seen a #Unimog in the Hot Wheels mainline! Can you believe that?!?!? Well, I am pleased to say that the void is over as the brand-new, #Mercedes-Benz Unimog 1300 is a #2019 New Model. Gone is the military-style — complete with […]
After 14 months of waiting, the 2017 #RLC #sELECTIONs #’66 Chevy Super Nova is here! For folks to think that is an absurd amount of time to wait for a Hot Wheels car that you ordered, hear me out. The RLC sELECTIONs are made to order — yes, […]
After not appearing since 2015, the Hot Wheels #Pass’n Gasser is back with (at least) two releases for 2018. The hunt is still on for the #Mystery Models release as I have yet to find that, but I do have that other #2018 Hot Wheels release for you: […]

A couple weeks ago when we showcased the HW Digital Circuit: Tour de Fast, we mentioned how there are now #Chase cars in the mainline past the usual #Treasure Hunts. We also mentioned that these new “chase” cars appear to be limited to the #HW Digital Circuit (2017) […]
The two week jump that Target got to distribute the Hot Wheels #Car Culture / Air-Cooled series is over and collectors have started finding this series at other retailers. While it seems the VWs are a popular commodity as I haven’t seen the Beetle and the Squareback yet, this #VW […]
There was only a 5-year span (2007-2011) in which we got regular and super #Treasure Hunts (TH/$TH) of the same casting. This began when Hot Wheels went to the 2-tier TH system in 2007 and ended in 2012 when super Treasure Hunts became hidden in the various segment […]
Chances are, you’ve seen at least one of the many “unboxing videos” done by collectors where they open up factory-sealed cases and show you whats inside. There have been so many of these and everyone seems to like them that collectors have even expanded these unboxing videos to boxes […]
