This isn’t the first time we have featured the #Nissan Hardbody Truck here as we took a look at the 1997 Blue Streak series release last year. Much to the point of that article, its surprising that this casting isn’t more popular given the vaulted prices in the […]
Last week Friday, #30th Annual Collectors Convention goers we speculating what the #RLC Party Exclusive would be at the #RLC party that evening. Around midday, news broke (for RLC members only) that the traditional HotWheelsCollectors.com sneak peek was up and it was what many collectors had already speculated, the […]
The new millennium brought change with it to the Hot Wheels world as the first #Tuner, the #Sho-Stopper, was introduced as part of the #2000 First Editions. A year later, the gates of tuner culture had been opened as we started seeing our first licensed tuners come through […]
The three cars from the Hot Wheels #Need for Speed video game collection for 2016 are finally together with the addition of the Night Burnerz: Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34). Its a collection that many collectors have been looking to complete since it was announced last November that these […]

Collectors had been used to the one-car exclusive in previous 10-packs and these were typically outlined in the packaging. In 2009, collectors were thrown a […]
The Datsun Bluebird 510 might have been known to be the “poor man’s BMW” but it is certainly the rich man’s Hot Wheel — with this release being the crown jewel of modern day Hot Wheels collecting. Yeah, I went there. With prices soaring to the $200 range […]
When Hot Wheels first started to dabble in the #Tuners and #JDM cars in the early 2000s, the Toyota Celica was among the very first. While some collectors (at the time) were disappointed the Celica didn’t come more stock, most came around when they realized the Hot Wheels […]
