These castings have been discontinued. Though some have not been officially retired, our rule-of-thumb is that if a casting has not been used in the last 5 years, it joins the ranks of our discontinued castings. Like all rules, there are exceptions to it.
I was re-organizing the collection a couple weeks ago when I came across the #Amphicar from the #2012 Hot Wheels #Boulevard line. Since I organize the majority of my loose collection by auto manufacturer now, I had to put the Amphicar aside. The 1:1 Amphicar was manufactured by […]

Ask any collector for a top 10 list of Red Line Club (#RLC) releases and I’m almost certain this #’01 Mini Cooper doesn’t show up. That mostly speaks to the hundreds of awesome cars the club has released on HWC over the last 20 years, but in a […]
#Replica Entertainment has produced some stellar recreations of #TV & Movie Cars since the line’s inception in 2013 as the “Retro Entertainment” line. In 2016 though, the line made a momentary shift to also include vehicles from popular racing videos games. The last two mixes for the year […]

When the Hot Wheels #’67 Dodge Charger made its debut at the end of 2000 — as part of the #2000 First Editions — the team at Hot Wheels clearly had lofty expectations as to how it would fare with collectors. The next year it was slotted as […]
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 […]
To long-time members of the Red Line Club, the #HWC Series 8: #Sugar Caddy represents some pretty heavy RLC anguish. Sound familiar? Given the stress of yesterday’s sale, I thought it would be fitting to look at a car that lives deep within HWC lore. In 2009, the […]
As a child of the 1980s, I was born into the Hot Wheels #Real Riders era by default. Many of my favorite childhood cars had them. See Real Riders: Jeep Scrambler. When I started collecting in the mid-1990s, Hot Wheels #Redlines had already taken off in value — […]
