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.
The Hot Wheels #Car Culture / Air-Cooled series hit stores this week, with the bulk of collectors finding them yesterday at their local Target stores — myself included. While not exclusive to Target, they certainly have the jump on the other retail stores with this line for 2017. The […]
In the Hot Wheels mainline, for every realistic car there always seems to be one that is a little wacky. Whether its of the #’Tooned variety, is strictly a “track car”, or just clearly isn’t from a licensed car manufacturer; some of these “Hot Wheels Originals” or #Unlicensed Hot […]
Translating to “The Wind” in English, #El Viento is a brand-new #2017 New Model from a brand-new Hot Wheels designer in Lindsey Lee. Lindsey was on-hand at the 30th Annual Hot Wheels Collectors Convention in LA in October signing autographs and showing off her first design to hit […]

There’s a new #Dodge #Charger in the Hot Wheels arsenal as the off-road reincarnation of the #Fast & Furious ’70 Dodge Charger, is a #2017 New Model. Straight from Furious 7 (2015), this replica of Dominic Toretto’s ride certainly does the movie car justice. In the movie, it was built […]
If you’re into Hot Wheels castings that fly below the radar, the 2015 #Hot Wheels Entertainment Line certainly had one. The ’74 Checker Taxi Cab is just one beautiful looking car. Similar to the London Taxi, the 1:1 Checker Taxi was widely known in the United States for its […]
There is definitely no shortage of #Muscle Cars in the Hot Wheels lineup. However, with the wealth of castings in this genre of car, there are a few castings that manage to be under-utilized. Specifically, the #Large and in Charger has only been used four times since its […]
It seems as though Hot Wheels has finally dipped into the video game licensing with #Gran Turismo, #FORZA Motorsport, #Super Mario and even #Minecraft. To those of us that have been clamoring for this for years, it seemed like a no-brainer. Now that the #2017 Hot Wheels have started […]
