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.
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 […]
Unlike a lot of other collectors, I never grew up around cool cars. When I started collecting in the mid ’90s, my parents owned a Ford Taurus and a Ford Aerostar, and cars were a method of getting from Point A to Point B. As I got older, […]
There is a new bad-ass casting in the Hot Wheels lineup and it has gotten paired with arguably the most bad-ass bounty hunter of all-time, #Boba Fett. The Hot Wheels #’60s Ford Econoline Pickup makes is #First Edition debut as part of the #2017 Hot Wheels #Pop Culture […]
Back in February, Hot Wheels released the 6-car, #Looney Tunes #Character Cars series. It was a series that contained the Tasmanian Devil, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Wile E. Coyote, Road Runner and #Marvin the Martian. Despite being the #First Edition of this brand-new Marvin the Martian casting, there […]
Enter the #Subaru Impreza — a casting that appeared in a little known series (at the time) called the #FIA World Rally Championship Series (WRC) which was a subset of the #Hot Wheels Racing line in 2004. I don’t believe the series hit any of the big box […]
One of the more interesting Hot Wheels releases of the mid-2000s was the #2006 First Editions #Nissan 350Z. At the time, #JDM wasn’t was it is today (in the hobby) and some Hot Wheels collectors even questioned the release of “another Z, but with wing and body kit”. […]
With all the hype #Gassers get these days, its surprising the #Morris Wagon doesn’t get much attention. Maybe its because the casting hasn’t been released since 2013 and/or maybe its because its a British car, but that shouldn’t stop you from taking a second look at its #2001 […]
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 […]
We have all heard of #Muscle Cars, but Muscle Trucks? That is a new one for me but a quick google search for “muscle trucks” reveals it to be kind of a loose category for any high-powered truck. So leave it to the team at Hot Wheels to […]
Chances are, you’ve seen the brand-new #Mazda REPU at retail already as it was released earlier last month in the #2017 Hot Wheels “M” case assortments. To some, it may just be “another light truck”, but to others its the world’s first and only Rotary Engine Pick Up […]
