We’re only in January, yet we’ve been graced with several #Hot Wheels Race Team vehicles for 2016 — two of which, have come via 5-Packs. This #Hollowback, along with the Ballistik from the Track Stars 5-Pack have been great surprises, and both have worn the #16 for 2016. While the […]
The Team Hot Wheels X-pandables were a line of snap-on additives for Hot Wheels cars. They were released in 2012 and only had three releases in the entire line — Land, Street & Snow. As the backstory goes, these X-pandables were: Developed at the Hot Wheels Test Facility […]
In 2005, the Hot Wheels Switchback “switched” its black and red colors as part of its run in the 2005 mainline Twenty+ Series. Over 10 years later, the reason for this is still unclear but right away collectors noticed the “switch” as one version showed up exclusively in Canada. The […]

Today we are throwing it all the way back today to 1989 — the reemergence of the modern day Batman and the best Batmobile of all! …Granted, “my Batman” was Michael Keaton (given my age). Check out the “Batman Scene” below (from the movie Neighbors) to see what […]
