The Hot Wheels #Car Culture / Air-Cooled series hit stores this week, with the bulk of collectors finding them yesterday at their local Target stores — myself included. While not exclusive to Target, they certainly have the jump on the other retail stores with this line for 2017. The […]
Okay, since I stated it yesterday that we couldn’t have #Mongoose without #Snake (and vice versa). Today, we have #Don Prudhomme‘s Snake Funny Car from the same 2005 #Mongoose & Snake Drag Race Set. It was Don Prudhomme’s appearance at Barrett-Jackson this last weekend here in Phoenix, that served […]
Arguably the most famous rivalry in racing history was #Snake & Mongoose. Their story, which can be seen in the 2013 movie titled, Snake & Mongoose, is unique in the diecast world as its weaved within that of the history of Hot Wheels itself. The movie was incredibly entertaining — […]
When the Hot Wheels #C-3PO character car casting was first released in 2015, collectors scooped up any and every one they could find due to its close resemblance to the Hot Wheels #Volkswagen Drag Bus. Two years later, that demand no longer exists as these are currently hanging at […]

Currently, my #Hot Wheels Race Team collection are all blue with Hot Wheels are their primary sponsor, meaning the flame logo definitely dominates the piece. While this definition […]
In all the Dodge Vipers Hot Wheels has made, the #Dodge Viper GTS reigns supreme. Sure, the #Dodge Viper RT/10 was the first one they ever produced and has that nostalgic factor, but the detail in this GTS supersedes that nostalgia. This isn’t your average mainline #Viper as this one was crafted […]
The #RLC #sELECTIONs series is a rather unique concept in the diecast world. In 2004, the idea was launched (to coincide with the United States’ Presidential Election that year) to have the collectors “design” a series of Red Line Club vehicles. Collectors were able to vote for a casting (from […]
