COMPLETE COLLECTION of the Hot Wheels Ferrari 599XX

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 […]

HW City Works: FAST GASSIN

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 […]
