2019 marks the 10th anniversary of the #Datsun Bluebird 510 casting. Back in 2009, I don’t think even the savviest of #JDM enthusiasts could have predicted the meteoric rise of the #510 in the Hot Wheels collecting world. Now, its seemingly an event every time one is released, […]
Merry Christmas!!! Hot Wheels Red Line Club (RLC) members should have gotten their “gift” in time for Christmas as the 2018 #RLC Holiday Car #Texas Drive ‘Em that sold December 4th on HotWheelsCollectors.com (HWC), shipped out in time for collectors to put it under the tree. However, many […]
Since I laid eyes on the Hot Wheels #Muscle Bound, I knew it was a must-have for the collection. Prior articles on OTD would suggest I was drawn to the killer #Shark Face Nose Art graphics done by Hot Wheels Graphic Designer, Leeway Chang. But that is only […]
Last week Saturday I was showing off my Hot Wheels ’55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser collection on Instagram. Unbeknownst to me, the casting’s latest edition was being handed out at the El Segundo Mattel Employee Association’s (MEA) annual dinner dance. The #MEA Dinner Dance cars are nothing new […]

After a 4-year hiatus, the #Custom Volkswagen Beetle is back in the mainline as part of the #2019 Hot Wheels #Volkswagen Series. This time however, we get the retooled version of the casting with roof rack and a plastic base. If you remember, the change to this casting […]
When you think Hot Wheels has thought of everything, you often wonder, “what will they think of next?” A wheelchair? Sure, why not. This brand-new casting is called the #Wheelie Chair and this #First Edition release features a licensed deco for extreme wheelchair athlete, Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham. Check […]
If you’ve been collecting since the 2000s or so, you probably remember the #100% Hot Wheels. I know I do, and the reputation that follows them: pegwarmers shelfwarmers. Its funny how collecting has shifted from 20 years ago to 10 years ago to now. Before the days of […]
