If collecting Hot Wheels has taught me anything, it’s the importance of diversity. Diversity sparks creativity; creativity fuels culture. Without it, I honestly believe there would be no car culture, and certainly no Hot Wheels. For a long period of time, Hot Wheels reflected California’s custom car culture. […]
When the Hot Wheels #’67 Dodge Charger made its debut at the end of 2000 — as part of the #2000 First Editions — the team at Hot Wheels clearly had lofty expectations as to how it would fare with collectors. The next year it was slotted as […]
As a child of the 1980s, I was born into the Hot Wheels #Real Riders era by default. Many of my favorite childhood cars had them. See Real Riders: Jeep Scrambler. When I started collecting in the mid-1990s, Hot Wheels #Redlines had already taken off in value — […]
The #Connect Cars were released 10 years ago. So, its only fitting that I open & showcase my prized possession from the line: the North Carolina #’70 Plymouth Superbird. This car is particularly scarce due to its limited nature as it was one of the last cars to […]
The first month of #Hot Wheels iD is in the books, and we are officially two waves into this new line. I have yet to take a close look at any of the cars here on OTD, so I am giving you a dose of my favorite thus […]

If you’ve been keeping up here on OTD, you saw that there is a new #Batman Vehicles Series appearing at Walmart. Judging by the initial reaction by collectors, there isn’t much excitement over the series. Its understandable as there is only so much you can do to some […]
If you’ve been collecting since the 2000s or so, you probably remember the #100% Hot Wheels. I know I do, and the reputation that follows them: pegwarmers shelfwarmers. Its funny how collecting has shifted from 20 years ago to 10 years ago to now. Before the days of […]
From a collector’s standpoint, the focus of the 2018 #Walmart Exclusive, #MOPAR Series is on the all-metal, ’70 Dodge Power Wagon. Its a great truck casting that I admit buying my fair share of when I saw a couple sets on the pegs one night. The other casting […]
The re-introduction of the #King Kuda to the Hot Wheels mainline has been nothing short of momentous. Let that sink in: momentous. How do you ask? Well, I’ll tell you right off the bat that it doesn’t pertain to the Super #Treasure Hunt hoopla. I realize that is […]
