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.
Last October, Hot Wheels Designer Brendan Vetuskey was showing off his latest creation at the 30th Annual Hot Wheels Collectors Convention in Los Angeles. I was fortunate enough to have been there and to have been one of the first to take the #Gotta Go for a spin. […]
Just a little over a decade ago, Volkswagens were all the rage. It seemed as though whenever Hot Wheels put a new #VW out, collectors were all over it, leaving none behind. Newer collectors got a glimpse of that this year with the release of the #Volkswagen T2 […]
One of the more unique #Race Cars you’ll see debut this year from Hot Wheels is the #Porsche 962. Based off of the mid-1980s sports-prototype car made by #Porsche to replace the 956, the real car made its debut at the 1984 24 Hours of Daytona. The Hot […]

How cool is it, that even in retirement, former Hot Wheels designer Larry Wood can still design fantastic cars like this!?! One of the newest #2017 New Models is the #Surf ‘N Turf which is showing up now in the United States as part of the “J” case assortments […]
