I can’t say that I’ve ever led with a base shot before but this one carries some historical significance pertaining to Hot Wheels. If you examine the base of this #Surf’s Up 5-Pack release of the #’64 Chevy Nova Station Wagon you’ll notice there is a new country […]
The odd duck of the 2017 #Walmart Exclusive, #Hot Wheels Racing Circuit series is certainly the #Deora II. In a series where 9 of the 10 vehicles are American (Chevy/Ford/Buick/Pontiac) #Muscle Cars, this #Unlicensed Hot Wheels “surf truck” casting definitely stands out. Now, I know there were certainly […]
The #Former AcceleRacers continue to be released in the Hot Wheels mainline 10 years after they first infiltrated it. After the demise of the #AcceleRacers line in 2006, these 36 vehicles found their way into several Hot Wheels lines which (for fans of the castings) was a rather fortunate move […]

Is it just me, or do regular #Treasure Hunts seem to be more plentiful this year? I have found a couple dozen of these in the last couple months which has to be a new record for me with regular treasure hunts. It was weird… I left all but […]
Happy New Year! Over the years, the #Carbonator has become the unofficial Hot Wheels car of the new year. Since 2012, this multi-purpose casting has been used to ring in the new year. From 2012 to 2016 it was a #Chase piece included with the #Walmart Exclusive specialty lines (Cars […]
