Remember the #Mazda #Miata back in the ’90s? The Hot Wheels #Mazda MX-5 Miata came in a variety of colors — some of which were neon-colored like this 1992 mainline release. The real car always seemed to be driven by young women. I can’t for the life of […]
The Hot Wheels #’60s Fiat 500D Modificado returns for 2019 as part of the #2019 Hot Wheels #Car Culture / Gulf series. Its a casting that some considered the best new casting of 2017 — and this time, we get it in full detail! I think that was […]
Whats to not like about the #HW 50th Originals Collection? Classic all-metal castings, #Spectraflame Paint, and #Redlines… these scream nostalgia. The intent of the series was to place five neo-castings that resembled five of the Original 16 castings, and place them in “Replica Redline” packaging. While these will […]
The small, but mighty Hot Wheels #’85 Honda City Turbo II made its #First Edition appearance earlier this year as part of the #2018 Hot Wheels “C” case assortment. Its a car that the team of Hot Wheels designers — mostly Jun Imai & Ryu Asada — had […]
With Japan Historics 2 hitting retail already, it almost feels like the time to shine (on the pegs) for the #Car Culture / Cars & Donuts series was cut short. Heck, I know several collectors that haven’t even seen the series pegged yet. It is rather unfortunate that […]
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 first #HW Race Team (2017) series car has shown up! Appearing in the 2017 mainline “J” case assortments, the #’12 Ford Fiesta comes sporting a #Hot Wheels Race Team #14 Rally El Segundo deco. The car-specific/unique background graphics have carried over from the #HW Race Team (2016), which […]
In what can pretty much be called the most successful #Mail-In in Hot Wheels history, the #Datsun Bluebird 510 had some collectors buying mainline cars by the thousands. Since this #2017 Collector Edition was revealed, collectors had been eagerly awaiting the promotional period that started on February 12, […]
The Hot Wheels #Car Culture / Air-Cooled series hit stores this week, with the bulk of collectors finding them yesterday at their local Target stores — myself included. While not exclusive to Target, they certainly have the jump on the other retail stores with this line for 2017. The […]
2016 has been a great year for collecting Hot Wheels and the future continues to be bright as we inch another year closer to the 50th Anniversary in 2018. Looking back at the year, there weren’t many mainline trios as good as the #BMW 2002 from the 2016 […]
