Hot Wheels cars have been around since 1968 and feature a wide-array of licensed and unlicensed vehicles.
Hot Wheels and #Star Wars had long been in the toy business with merchandise as far back as the ’60s and ’70s respectively. The marriage did not occur until 2014 though as Lucasfilm had previous licensing agreements with Kenner and Hasbro, but not Mattel. It wasn’t until Disney bought Lucasfilm […]
When Hot Wheels first released the Subaru Impreza casting in 2004, it was the first ever Hot Wheels #Subaru. Released in Hot Wheels Racing’s World Rally Championship 4-car series, the casting, nor the series weren’t entirely popular. 12 years later the tide has changed as collectors have been paying […]
Celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year is one of, if not the most popular Hot Wheels vehicle of all time. Picked as the #1 Hot Wheel of all-time in 2008 for Hot Wheels 40th Anniversary, the Volkswagen Drag Bus (or VW Bus) continues to be a collector favorite. As the […]

Collectors have been flocking to Target for the better part of two weeks now and have been picking up the Hot Wheels Retro Style Series. The good new for collectors is that there isn’t one car that seems to be hoarded — which seems rare for a specialty […]
When I first started this blog nearly a year ago, I never thought I would feature any release of the Hot Wheels Power Pipes casting. I have never liked it and to be frank, I can’t believe its still being produced 21 years after its initial release in […]
Fresh off the pegs of my local Target is the Volkswagen SP2 from the 2016 Hot Wheels Retro Style Series. This isn’t Target’s first rodeo with retro Hot Wheels products as they took on several retro-branded products from 2006 to 2007. The first go-’round included vehicles and track sets based […]
Don’t let the orange paint, realistic proportions and industrial graphics throw you off. This is not a Matchbox truck, this is a Hot Wheels truck.
