The Hot Wheels #Ferrari 599XX is nothing new to Orange Track Diecast as I love showing what is easily my favorite Hot Wheels #Ferrari casting. Previously, I had done a Casting Profile on the Ferrari 599XX but that was before…BEFORE I finally completed the collection. You see, just […]
Leave it to the team at Hot Wheels to know how to move a stagnant line. The #Mystery Models have been a #Walmart Exclusive line for a number of years now, but there has never been as must collector interest as there is now. #Mystery Models Series 1 […]
Welcome to a new segment here at Orange Track Diecast called “Casting Profile”. In each of these profiles, we will take a look at a certain Hot Wheels casting and examine its releases, value and other fun facts. I know a lot of you are going to enjoy […]
The Hot Wheels #Fast Gassin is back for 2017, however, it is in the same series as last year: the #HW City Works Series. While many collectors often dislike a casting appearing in the same segment series over and over again, this fresh Union 76 design really saves […]
At first glance, the question most collectors have been asking themselves is, “why would you pay $4 more for the same car?” I know I did. Although the Hot Wheels Ford GT LM was released in both the $1 (basic) #Gran Turismo Series and the $5 #Hot Wheels […]

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 […]
There weren’t many Hot Wheels collectors talking about the Fast Gassin when it appeared as a 2009 New Model. Sure, it was a cool little tanker truck done somewhere between art deco and Japanese bosozoku-style, but with the only actual diecast (metal) piece on the casting being the […]
There is somewhat of a mystery surrounding the Hot Wheels Ferrari F430 Challenge casting. When did it appear? Many collectors (including myself), had believed that the mystery lied within a mystery, in that the first occurrence of this challenge version occurred in the 2009 Mystery Cars — a segment […]
The Grand Finale of Ferrari 599XX in its Speed Machines run was a reflection of the cliché saying, “Saving the best for last!”. Its raw metal (unpainted) body is known as ZAMAC in the Hot Wheels world. ZAMAC is an acronym standing for the Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium, And […]
