When I returned from the Hot Wheels convention two weeks ago, I was proud of myself for sticking to one of my goals: fills holes in the collection without overspending. I had some good scores in the room-to-room buying, but didn’t have that huge score like I had […]
Hot Wheels of the Day Porsche 917K Real Riders RELEASE YEAR: 2005 • CASTING DESIGNER: Larry Wood In 2005, it was Kmart stores that catered to the Hot Wheels collector. There were three Kmart Collector Events a year (at the time), and #Kmart Exclusive Hot Wheels nostalgic lines. […]
Like many of you, the majority of my casting collections don’t start with the #First Edition release. I mean, it’s not much of a collection to begin with unless multiple variants are released right off the bat. My affinity for the Hot Wheels #Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 began […]

Okay, since I stated it yesterday that we couldn’t have #Mongoose without #Snake (and vice versa). Today, we have #Don Prudhomme‘s Snake Funny Car from the same 2005 #Mongoose & Snake Drag Race Set. It was Don Prudhomme’s appearance at Barrett-Jackson this last weekend here in Phoenix, that served […]

My fellow #Viper fans rejoice as there is at least one new Dodge Viper in the #2017 Hot Wheels lineup. The #’08 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR returns in a heavenly, metalflake sky blue with a familiar #Speedhunters graphics scheme. This one lands in the 2017 #Night Burnerz Series — a […]
