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.
#VW Hot Wheels have always been a hit with collectors. The original 16 in 1968 had the Custom Volkswagen, and in ’69 came the Beach Bomb. Those two were the Volkswagen castings to have for many years. That all changed in 1996 however, when the VW Bus was […]
The #2020 Hot Wheels have started to appear, but before we totally move on from 2019, we need to look at the last #2019 New Model: the #Mod Rod. This modern, modified hot rod — hence the name “Mod Rod” — is a super slick Hot Wheels original […]

When Hot Wheels makes mini-vans, they make them cool. This wave of modern #Vans differs from the paneled vans of years past. Rather, today’s Hot Wheels vans are either slammed, racing vehicles like the ’14 Honda Odyssey OR they are heavily-modded, 4×4 #Off-Road Vehicles. The #2019 New Models […]
Lately, the Red Line Club (RLC) has been one-upping itself. #Spectraflame Paint has always been a part of the online club that has spanned two decades, but since last year, there has been a focus on increasing the details, and adding at least one #Opening Feature to all […]
The #Pizza Planet Truck is one of the most popular animated vehicles of all-time, and yet I would be surprised if its total screen time more than a couple minutes. Its one of the many reoccurring “easter eggs” to appear Disney Pixar movies — and this one has […]
