French auto manufacturer #Renault had a racing series of its own which was last called the Eurocup Renault Mégane V6 Trophy when it folded in 2013. Originally starting in 1976, this one-make racing series was created and managed by Renault Sport; the motorsport, performance and special vehicle divisions of […]
Back when Hot Wheels was still releasing 10-packs (before they shifted to 9-packs), they released two 10-packs that contained cars that were all exclusive. Collectors had been used to the one-car exclusive in previous 10-packs and these were typically outlined in the packaging. In 2009, collectors were thrown a […]
The #Faster Than Ever cars that appeared in the Hot Wheels mainline were great for diecast racers everywhere because you could pick up a fast car for under $1. While the wheels were nothing more than a copper-chrome open-hole 5-spoke (OH5) wheel, it was the copper color that signified that […]
When Hot Wheels released the Bone Shaker in 2006, collectors went nuts over the heavily modified Model A with a skull on the front. It instantly became one of the most popular Hot Wheels of all time and became the face of the Hot Wheels brand for years to […]

The other day I was at Target, rummaging through the pegs full of old stock. I didn’t even bother to finish looking through the mainlines as it was the same old #Unlicensed Hot Wheels that I have been coming across lately. Unwilling to accept an unsuccessful visit to Target, […]
A true sign that the #2016 Hot Wheels have been some of the best yet? This release of the Custom ’62 Chevy Truck in the brand-new HW Flames 5-Pack. Really, the whole 5-Pack is great … well, aside from the Chrysler Pronto. But I digress. This #Lowered Truck […]
It feels like if Arnold Schwarzenegger had ever designed a Hot Wheels car, it would have came out like the Hot Wheels Tanknator. Its not just the name that draws the comparison as this tank on racing steroids is fast and intimidating all while offering some wholesome childhood […]
