Back in March, the Hot Wheels Design Team — better known collectively as @hotwheelsdreamteam on Instagram — shocked the Hot Wheels world, announcing the return of #Bugatti to the #2019 Hot Wheels mainline. Collectors had clamored for another Bugatti since the Bugatti Veyron last appeared in 2010; and […]
Every year, the folks at Hot Wheels has a few, cool surprises up their sleeves. This one is two-fold. First, starting off in the mainline this year, we were treated to a new Hot Wheels partnership with #Gumball 3000. The second was the #Promotional Vehicle that would follow: […]
Collecting Hot Wheels by casting is fun. When you assemble a “family” — comprising of multiple releases of one casting — its a cool feeling as there is a sense of accomplishment that goes along with it. Also, its fun to see how many ways one 3D object […]
Just last week I took a look at #The History of Hot Wheels II set on the OTD YouTube channel. The set itself is severely underrated as it contains eight great castings with plain decos and premium wheels. It was a #FAO Schwarz Exclusive in 1996, and isn’t […]
#Gulf Racing has been one of the hottest liveries in the diecast world as several brands (including Hot Wheels) have released their cars in that famous powder blue and orange. Collectors seem to devour these at retail as Gulf liveries never last long on the pegs. Enter Hot […]

Perhaps one of the coolest #TV & Movie Cars that Hot Wheels has come out with is the #Lamborghini Murciélago from the 2018 #Walmart Exclusive #Batman Vehicles Series. Its the car Bruce Wayne is seen driving in The Dark Knight (2008) — yes, that’s the one with the Heath […]
Just last year, the 1988 casting of the #Lamborghini Countach was revived for the Walmart Exclusive Lamborghini Series. This year, there is a new version of that famous 1980s #Countach design. For far too long, many collectors couldn’t tell where the wonky design of the original Countach casting […]
Sometimes you just know you like a new casting, right? You say to yourself, “Wow, I want to get every one of these!” upon finding that initial release. That was my sentiment in 2016 when the Hot Wheels #Renault Sport R.S. 01 made its debut, which I proceeded […]
Two weeks ago I found the 2018 #HW Exotics 5-Pack at a Target here in the United States. This came only days after these started appearing in Australia — a market that has traditionally got 5-Packs a month ahead of the U.S.. As you can see, the pack […]
