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.
File this one under one of the more “unique” Hot Wheels out there as the #Grumobile isn’t your typical car. As seen in the animated movie, Despicable Me (2010), the Grumobile was the vehicle of choice by super-villain-protagonist, Gru. In the movie, Gru drove this spaceship-looking vehicle down […]
One of the coolest Hot Wheels #Character Cars out there is the #Hulkbuster Iron Man. It made its debut in 2015 and was even upgraded so it could be released as a Red Line Club piece — #Spectraflame Paint, #Real Riders and a metal base, the works! It […]
Just last year, the 1988 casting of the #Lamborghini Countach was revived for the Walmart Exclusive Lamborghini Series. This year, there is a new version of that famous 1980s #Countach design. For far too long, many collectors couldn’t tell where the wonky design of the original Countach casting […]
Teased last year at San Diego Comic Con, the Hot Wheels #Replica Entertainment / #Marvel mix finally hit stores one year later and collectors have been digging this quirky series based off of vehicles from various Marvel comics. The series featured three modified “new tools”, one casting making […]
Hard to believe that up until now, the most current Hot Wheels Chevy #Silverado casting we had was over a decade old. Granted, in the last decade, the design of the Silverado hasn’t changed much. Enter the #’19 Chevy Silverado Trail Boss LT. Its more aggressive front-end styling […]
What do you think of the new, Hot Wheels #Replica Entertainment / #Marvel series? For me, it was my favorite Replica Entertainment series of the year. We saw three modified “new” tools (#Punisher Van, Deadpool’s Chimichanga Truck & Ghost Rider Charger), one made its retail debut (Spider-Mobile), and […]
The Hot Wheels #Car Culture / Team Transport line has brought us a series of firsts. In addition to it being a new line at a pricepoint we haven’t seen before ($12.99 in the U.S.), all the transporters are new castings. Also, this line marks the debut of […]
Every year a new Hot Wheels model sneaks up on you as a collector and you manage to fall in love with another Hot Wheels casting. For me, that model is the #2018 New Model #’87 Dodge D100 from the #HW Hot Trucks Series. When it was first […]
Have you heard? 2018 is the last year for Hot Wheels and #Monster Jam. Starting in the 2019 model year, Monster Jam will be produced by a Canadian toy and entertainment company called, Spin Master. This is obviously a blow to those of us who collect Hot Wheels […]
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) comes out today. And while I’m not sure I can stomach another Jurassic Park/World movie of rehashed storylines playing out, what I can get behind are the brand-new dinosaur #Character Cars from Hot Wheels. They are the dinosaurs from #Jurassic World imagined as […]
