Rarely does a Hot Wheels mainline car debut in limited edition form. Only a couple vehicles have debuted in the mainline with Super Treasure Hunt counterparts which — off the top of my head — are the Toyota 2000GT in 2013, and the #’17 Ford GT in 2016. […]
Here is a Hot Wheels casting that I’ve been wanting to showcase for you guys since I first laid eyes on it back in October: the #Manga Tuner. For once though, it is not because I am a huge fan of the casting, its roots, or even its […]
When you think Hot Wheels has thought of everything, you often wonder, “what will they think of next?” A wheelchair? Sure, why not. This brand-new casting is called the #Wheelie Chair and this #First Edition release features a licensed deco for extreme wheelchair athlete, Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham. Check […]
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 […]
Do you ever buy a release solely because of its graphics or color combination? I know I do. Even before my days as a graphic designer, I had admired car art. Its one of several factors that got me into collecting Hot Wheels at a very young age. […]

Year to year, its always fun to see what mainline series Hot Wheels collectors gravitate to. There are segments like #Muscle Mania and the #Night Burnerz that are perennially collector favorites. However, its always that new “underdog” segment that fascinates me. I have a good grasp on what […]
The #2018 Hot Wheels #Night Burnerz 5-Pack hit the pegs back in January and even after a couple months at retail here in the United States, the 5-Pack seems to be selling (for just over its retail price) online. Collectors attributed the initial surge in secondary market value […]
Around this time last year, collectors were occupied with trying to track down the #2017 Hot Wheels “C” case assortments at their retail establishment of choice. In that assortment was the #Holiday Racers #16 Angels which sported “HAPPY HOLIDAYS” graphics for Christmas 2016. Just like this year’s Screamliner, […]
Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) hits theaters worldwide today and with that comes the annual inundation of toys licensed by the #Star Wars movie franchise. While the Hot Wheels aisle has already been laden with Star Wars vehicles — Carships, Starships, Character Cars and Pop Culture — […]
