How about that Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary? Seems to be flying by, huh? Its officially June now and #2018 Hot Wheels “L” cases have actually started to hit retail in the United States. Its easy to be overwhelmed by all the new product Hot Wheels is delivering between […]
Those Italians — they get all the good stuff! — said no Hot Wheels collector ever. So needless to say, it was a little surprising to see this #International Release of the #Pass’n Gasser end up being sold exclusively at retail in Italy. According to Italian collector @bellottsdiecast on […]
Two weeks ago I found the 2018 #HW Exotics 5-Pack at a Target here in the United States. This came only days after these started appearing in Australia — a market that has traditionally got 5-Packs a month ahead of the U.S.. As you can see, the pack […]
Some collectors love to hate on #Unlicensed Hot Wheels cars like the plague that affects them from obtaining the latest licensed vehicles. I, for one, am not one of said collectors as I think these “fantasy cars” showcase the designers’ imagination and skill set far more than replicating, […]

Considering the fact that the Candy Striper Gasser sells for close to $500 and other versions of the #’55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser sell for a good chunk of change, its practically a steal if you can find even a basic level version of the casting for $1. […]
The Hot Wheels #Car Culture / Cargo Carriers series has been out for almost two months now and as much as I’ve heard collectors rave about the other castings in this series, I feel like I’ve heard the least about the #Volkswagen Sunagon. That certainly comes as a […]
Don’t you just love it when one of your favorite Hot Wheels castings returns? I’m sure you do, because its more-than-likely a favorite casting because you can’t get enough of it. Well, over long periods of time — over a 5-year absence (at minimum) — the tools used […]
