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.
Chances are, if you’re a Hot Wheels Collector, you’ve heard of the Pink Rear-Loading Beach Bomb before. Through various books, videos and even a guest appearance on the TV show Pawn Stars, this one Hot Wheels car is the ultimate holy grail as its is expected to be […]
The #Meyers Manx is one of those cars that screams Southern California and more importantly (in this setting), Hot Wheels. Introduced as a #2003 First Edition the Hot Wheels Meyers Manx appeared every year from 2003 until 2014, with 2011 being the lone year without a release. However, […]
One of my all-time favorite Hot Wheels castings would have to be the #’70 Dodge Charger Daytona. Newer collectors need not confuse it with the #’69 Dodge Charger Daytona that was introduced in 2013, as this casting hasn’t been produced since it was #Final Run‘d in 2003. Why […]
A couple months ago, I acquired part of a small collection that a co-worker’s husband had (see Instagram photo below the article). It mostly consisted Hot Wheels from the ’90s. While I already had most of them, purchasing them was significantly cheaper than having someone look through my collection from […]
The passing of an individual often causes many people to reflect back on that individual, the life they lived and how they affected you. Since former Hot Wheels graphics designer (turned freelance graphic designer) Wayne Scott passed away earlier this month, I had been thinking back to some […]

Rediscovering your collection is key to your longevity in Hot Wheels collecting. I’ve said it time and time again. I have personally seen many collectors come and go, as to most of those collectors, its all about obtaining the latest releases that everyone craves — which will burn […]
In all the Dodge Vipers Hot Wheels has made, the #Dodge Viper GTS reigns supreme. Sure, the #Dodge Viper RT/10 was the first one they ever produced and has that nostalgic factor, but the detail in this GTS supersedes that nostalgia. This isn’t your average mainline #Viper as this one was crafted […]
Happy Halloween! Hot Wheels has long celebrated the holiday by dressing up their repertoire of diverse castings in costumed attire for #Halloween specific series. Over the years we have seen some great releases and that continued this year with the #Hot Wheels Halloween (2016). Almost a decade ago (2007), […]
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 […]
