In today’s Hot Wheels landscape, it seems as though every line or series has some sort of #Chase piece in it — whether its produced that way or not. Even when there isn’t meant to be a chase piece, collectors/profiteers/etc. find a way to make one. This has been […]
After a 5-year layoff it was certainly nice to see the Hot Wheels #Nissan Skyline R32 casting reemerge as part of the #Gran Turismo Series. Fans of the casting were certainly relieved as rumors of it being a #Discontinued Casting were dispelled. The surprises didn’t end there as this […]
This isn’t the first time we have featured the #Nissan Hardbody Truck here as we took a look at the 1997 Blue Streak series release last year. Much to the point of that article, its surprising that this casting isn’t more popular given the vaulted prices in the […]
Last week Friday, #30th Annual Collectors Convention goers we speculating what the #RLC Party Exclusive would be at the #RLC party that evening.

The Datsun Bluebird 510 might have been known to be the “poor man’s BMW” but it is certainly the rich man’s Hot Wheel — with this release being the crown jewel of modern day Hot Wheels collecting. Yeah, I went there. With prices soaring to the $200 range […]
2011 was the last year before Super Treasure Hunts went into hiding…also known as the “green stripe removal of 2012”. In the 5 years prior (2007-2011), the 2-tier Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt system consisted of 12 to 15 castings that each had a Regular Treasure Hunt and a […]
There is a lady taking Hot Wheels by storm in 2016…a “Fairlady” some will say. When Hot Wheels designer Jun Imai teased collectors with some photos of his real 1:1 1974 Nissan 260Z project car in October 2013, many of those collectors started to drool because they knew there was a […]
