One of the issues Hot Wheels collectors have had with the #Walmart Exclusive, Themed Assortment #Fast & Furious cars is that a lot of them have been repeat releases over the years. Sure, Hot Wheels has changed up a wheel style here and there, but for the most […]
If there was ever a Cinderella of a Hot Wheels casting, it would be the #Datsun Bluebird 510. Designed by former Hot Wheels Designer, Jun Imai, the 510 made its debut in the mainline as part of the 2009 New Models. Its initial three colorways (blue, black, and […]
