With #2018 Hot Wheels being released left and right, its easy to look ahead at what is in-store for us collectors — especially in the #Car Culture line with the 2018 Japan Historics 2 already being released. Before we change calendars though, lets take a look at one […]
Buns of Steel … yep, there is officially a Hot Wheels car named #Buns of Steel. …What I wouldn’t give the see the look on the face of the person in Mattel’s legal department when that name came across their desk. The ‘tooned burger truck known as #Buns […]
Wooooooah! Its not what you think… we aren’t featuring Matchbox here now. Rather, there is a new #Jeep on the Hot Wheels side of the Mattel family. The #First Edition of the #’17 Jeep Wrangler appears as a #2018 New Model in the #HW Hot Trucks Series as […]
When it was revealed that Hot Wheels would be doing a series of six #Minecraft #Character Cars, collectors like myself squirmed as many had pictured blocks on wheels with “low-resolution” graphics. Leave it to the Hot Wheels Dream Team to check your reservations at the door as the […]

One of the more popular, collector-favorite Hot Wheels #Mustangs of the last 20 years has been the #’68 Mustang — or ’67 Mustang, or Custom Ford Mustang … whatever the present naming convention may be. Back in the early 2000s, it was always a harder to find car […]
Sometimes as collectors, we get too caught up in buying and selling the latest Hot Wheels releases — so much so that sometimes we forget that the Hot Wheels brand once catered to us as kids. I get that some collectors only collect the replicas of their favorite […]
