Trucks have long been popular in the Hot Wheels line. These days, any truck with Real Riders seems to fly off the pegs. I’m sure some people wonder why Hot Wheels trucks are so popular considering the Hot Wheels brand was built around the “fastest metal cars in […]
Walmart continues to churn out these exclusive Hot Wheels series vehicles. From the Fast & Furious cars to Avengers to even Porsche and James Bond, these lines have consisted mostly of licensed vehicles/designs and are found in exclusive dump bins at Walmart. As of late 2015 we have started to […]
Man, I sure got bit by the “gotta-have-it-nows” when I saw this truck first pop-up for sale. See, I haven’t found a Texas Drive ‘Em (TDE) at retail since I found its first Hot Wheels Classics release in a grocery store in 2009. I have scored a few of […]
Hot Wheels castings often drive off into the sunset without warning. The Bad Mudder’s lone release (as a 1998 First Edition, shown below) came and went but it wasn’t until a couple years that the rumors started to swirl in regards to its demise. In the world of […]

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 […]
You know that saying, “everything is bigger in Texas”? While that may not be true for everything, Texans do take a general pride in that statement and the notion of it holds true. On Saturday, I was driving through Scottsdale (Ariz.) on the 101 and saw a Ford […]
