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.
Something can be said when a brand continues to evolve, yet it remains true to the concepts that were set forth early on. The #’20 Jeep Gladiator is a brand-new casting design by Hot Wheels Designer, Ryu Asada. Its boxy form represents the new pickup truck by #Jeep […]
The Hot Wheels #Loco Motorin’ had quite the debut. No one would have thought that an #Unlicensed Hot Wheels train car would have flown off the pegs — yet, here we are — the Loco Motorin’ has been sought after by collectors in the last several weeks since […]
14 years before Hot Wheels even came into existence, Mattel released its first car: the Mattel “Dream” Car. Sold in 1953 for $1.98 the 1:24 scale “Dream” Car was Mattel founder, Elliot Handler’s vision of the future of the automobile. The Hot Wheels #Mattel Dream Mobile celebrates that […]

#Hot Wheels iD evolved the common Hot Wheels car. In 2019, 51 castings were designed to incorporate a near-field communication (NFC) chip that sends data to your phone, Smart Track and/or Portal. This makes for some cool data usage as you are able to play with your car […]
Today is the day that I quit collecting Hot Wheels. Say Whaaaat? Let me rephrase that: Today is the day I was supposed to quit collecting Hot Wheels. See, back in the ’90s, when I started collecting Hot Wheels, I recall saying to a friend: when Hot Wheels […]
The highly-anticipated, Frozen II (2019) movie comes out today; a long six years after the original. For most kids these days, that was a lifetime ago. Take, for instance, my daughter: she wasn’t even born when the first movie came out. Now at 5-years-old is a self-proclaimed Elsa […]
File this under: straight-wacky. The brand-new, Hot Wheels #RV There Yet has just been released and it already has the collectors talking. This wacky car & camper combo is truly unique. It features a cartoony hatchback with an equally cartoony camper on back — hence why it is […]
