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.
So how many of you out there collect Hot Wheels by the casting? When I first started collecting, I was a cardboard completest, buying anything and everything to complete the numbers on the blister cards — the more extreme version a cardboard collector. While that persisted for a couple decades, […]
Is it a distant relative of the Hot Wheels Farbs? Is it Matchbox-inspired? Or is it derived from an old Japanese toy? Well, back in early January, when Hot Wheels designer, Ryu Asada, posted this car on his Instagram account, I immediately thought this could be a modern-day, mainline Farb — […]
The #Baja Hauler is one of the newest Hot Wheels to date. It just started to show up at retail here in the United States as part of the “H” case assortments. At first glance, this #Unlicensed Hot Wheels truck is definitely some sort of #Off-Road Vehicle, then […]
While it may have been Baze Malbus that had me wanting to buy this #Hot Wheels Character Cars / #Star Wars #Rogue One 5-Pack, it was the #Captain Cassian Andor casting that sealed the deal. This car that resembles a new #Camaro in the front, mixed with the […]
Hot Wheels has so many #Dodge #Charger castings that it can be a daunting task just to keep them all straight. Heck, if you’re looking just by name/year, there are five 1970 Charger castings, but each are vastly different. In what has been commonly called the #Blown Engine […]

There is a new 5-Pack of #Hot Wheels Character Cars that just started hitting Target stores last week. Its the #Star Wars #Rogue One 5-Pack and it contains some pretty good looking Character Cars that haven’t been widely released as singles yet. Aside from the Jyn Erso vehicle, the […]
Here it is, “The Midas Monkey”, which was long awaited by Hot Wheels collectors after appearing in a 2015 episode of Fast N’ Loud on Discovery Channel. In the episode, the guys at Gas Monkey Garage built the real 1:1 version of this ’68 Corvette in an attempt to impress […]
We have a tank! All apologies to the #Tanknator aside, this is the first realistic tank released in a Hot Wheels line since 1997 when we saw the last releases of the Command Tank and Tough Customer tank castings. The #UNSC Scorpion is a brand-new, #First Edition tank […]
Talk about getting enough diecast for your money! The brand-new Hot Wheels #K-2SO from the 2017 #Star Wars #Character Cars line has to be one of the heaviest, and longest Hot Wheels vehicles released in recent memory. At 96g it vastly outweighs the Hulkbuster Iron Man (62g), another […]
