As if there weren’t enough Hot Wheels lines to chase these days — with subsequent #Chase pieces — the Hot Wheels team has front-loaded the 2022 #Mystery Models with some pretty desirable Hot Wheels: the #Porsche 993 GT2, #’92 BMW M3, and everyone’s favorite hype-generating money-maker, the #’71 […]
I have to say, I have really enjoyed collecting the Hot Wheels #Mystery Models since the decision was made to shift to these themed waves/mixes. Starting in 2018 we saw mixes that were similar to current segments in the mainline: HW Race Day (Series 1), HW Space (Series […]
