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.
Its always great when a Hot Wheels casting has an origin story. No, it may not be as good as Wolverine from X-Men, but it definitely is noteworthy. As of late, Mattel has had a continued presence at the SEMA Show every year in Las Vegas. Back in 2013, […]
A car built for racing in both real life and in Hot Wheels scale, the ’15 Jaguar F-Type Project 7 is one of the world’s more limited cars with only 250 made. According to the back of its Hot Wheels casting’s 2015 blister card its a two-seat roadster powered by a […]
No, its not a Treasure Hunt! Okay, so since we have cleared that up, let me explain why I led with that. See that black, circular “flame logo” on the side of the van? This logo has long been circulating in the Hot Wheels Graphics Department. It has […]

Fast. Furious. Ford Escort. Those words did not really go together until Fast & Furious 6 introduced us to the ’70 Ford Escort RS1600. Growing up, if you knew someone with a Ford Escort they could care less about the performance of their vehicle as the name “Escort” was […]
While Mattel and Ferrari are still at a standoff in terms of their licensing agreement that ended in 2015, we look at a Ferrari model that was recently introduced–the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. A new model for 2013, this Ferrari was introduced as part of the All Stars Series. […]
