The Morris Mini — which I still affectionately refer to as the “Mini Cooper” since that was it’s original name — is a #Treasure Hunt once again! This stout racer originally debuted in the series back in 2002, before returning in the anniversary year of 2005, as a […]
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 […]

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 […]
