These are the first edition (or first occurrence) of a particular casting. Often times (for Hot Wheels), these are found in First Editions or New Models Series, but sometimes they are found without the “first edition” designation.
There was a little purge in the OTD garage last weekend by getting rid of extras to make room for future purchases. In doing so — in going back through the collection — you can often find a treasured piece from years ago. I often do. The latest […]
The Hot Wheels #Elite 64 line has just kicked off here at the start of the #2023 Hot Wheels year. The first car is one of the most popular choices for a #Drift Car in the #’96 Toyota Chaser JZX100. Before we get to the car itself, let’s […]
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 […]
Gassers have been all the rage for the better part of the last decade in Hot Wheels collecting. The #”55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser has become one of the top 5 Hot Wheels castings of all-time, and other Chevy gassers like the #’66 Chevy Super Nova & #’64 […]

Man, oh man. The #Hot Wheels Monster Trucks line is heating up and the release that may have collectors talking the most is here: the #’83 Chevy Silverado Monster Truck! You can order these 2022 “E” cases now from Jcar Diecast before collectors hoard the Silverado at retail. […]
Caught in the last mix of the doomed #Hot Wheels iD line is the premiere of the #Automobili Pininfarina Battista. This #Electric-powered supercar has those signature Italian curves that many gasoline-fueled #Exotics from Italy have — looking sleek and fast as hell! It is just too bad collectors […]
I am a Hot Wheels enthusiast through & through — its the only diecast brand I collect. I respect older Hot Wheels, and appreciate the newer ones. Every single casting, even the ones collectors love to hate, has its place in Hot Wheels history. With that said, some […]
Hot Wheels collectors have seen a wealth of new “coke-bottle” Chargers from the late ‘60s / early ‘70s as of late. Between the sleek restomod ‘69 that debuted in the Red Line Club, and the crazy wide-body ‘68 that is in Fast & Furious premium — in addition […]
