The Toyota Supra that defined The Fast and the Furious movie franchise finally made it to the Hot Wheels mainline in 2013. Fans of the franchise and Hot Wheels were enamored for two reasons: one, the Supra and the ’70 Dodge Charger from the first movie were finally released, […]
Being mid-December, we are deep in the holiday season and if you’re like me, you could already use a break. While this Hot Wheels #Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7 may belong to the 2006 Holiday Hot Rods, its removal from the packaging generates another identity. The #Holiday Hot Rods […]
2011 was the last year before Super Treasure Hunts went into hiding…also known as the “green stripe removal of 2012”. In the 5 years prior (2007-2011), the 2-tier Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt system consisted of 12 to 15 castings that each had a Regular Treasure Hunt and a […]
There is a lady taking Hot Wheels by storm in 2016…a “Fairlady” some will say. When Hot Wheels designer Jun Imai teased collectors with some photos of his real 1:1 1974 Nissan 260Z project car in October 2013, many of those collectors started to drool because they knew there was a […]
In the latest mix of Redline cars from the Hot Wheels #Heritage line came the Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R which is based off of a C110 Skyline that Datsun/Nissan produced from 1972 to 1977. The GT-R run of the C110 Skyline didn’t even make it a full calendar year before […]

The Night Breed 5-Pack has to be one of the coolest Hot Wheels 5-Packs to ever hit the shelves. This 5-Pack was released in 2004 and contained 4 tuner cars and 1 pro-stock car. The best aspect: the cars featured the satin paint known as Spectrafrost before it was termed, “Spectrafrost”. […]
The long awaited Toyota Supra was finally released in the 2013 Hot Wheels mainline. Hot Wheels released the Fat Bax Toyota Supra way back in 2004 but never a realistic ’90s version of the Supra. The casting itself is based off of a customized version of the ’94 Toyota Supra and […]
The Hot Wheels Nissan Skyline R32 first appeared in 2002 and some of the subsequent releases have been known to capture high-dollar prices on the secondary market. Sure, some of you may point to the more recent Hot Wheels JDM craze for the reason the prices are so […]
In today’s world of Hot Wheels collecting, Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) and Lifted Trucks are in. So its a little surprising that we have not seen any reemergence of the Nissan Hardbody/Truck.
