Some Hot Wheels collectors believe that the Hot Wheels #Pop Culture line has gotten stale with repetitive themes plastered all over the sides of repeat castings. While that may be true to some extent, its the new, one-off series that are the real test. The freshly released, #MAD […]
It was such a pleasant surprise to see the #Track Trucks line return to retail as this line had primarily been released internationally upon its debut in 2015. Two years later, the line that featured the a Custom Volkswagen Hauler — reminiscent of the #Volkswagen Drag Bus — […]
One of the more recent castings that I have started collecting is the Hot Wheels #Turbine Time. Designed by Larry Wood and first released in 2015, this truck with a wind-powered #Jet Engine has seen five releases for a cumulative seven colorways, in just three years — with […]
