These releases of castings all feature an opening feature.
Just three months ago, Hot Wheels collectors from around the world converged upon Los Angeles for the #31st Annual Collectors Convention. There collectors were treated to a series of collector- & kid-oriented events, sneak peeks from Mattel and a variety of exclusive #Convention Vehicles. With the recent success […]
One of the more popular, collector-favorite Hot Wheels #Mustangs of the last 20 years has been the #’68 Mustang — or ’67 Mustang, or Custom Ford Mustang … whatever the present naming convention may be. Back in the early 2000s, it was always a harder to find car […]
Sometimes as collectors, we get too caught up in buying and selling the latest Hot Wheels releases — so much so that sometimes we forget that the Hot Wheels brand once catered to us as kids. I get that some collectors only collect the replicas of their favorite […]
As a collector of Hot Wheels for over 20 years, its easy to look back and reminisce how the hobby has changed — and how is hasn’t — over that time period. It seems like just yesterday I was writing down my cars that I had accumulated in […]

The #Baja Hauler is one of the newest Hot Wheels to date. It just started to show up at retail here in the United States as part of the “H” case assortments. At first glance, this #Unlicensed Hot Wheels truck is definitely some sort of #Off-Road Vehicle, then […]
Okay, since I stated it yesterday that we couldn’t have #Mongoose without #Snake (and vice versa). Today, we have #Don Prudhomme‘s Snake Funny Car from the same 2005 #Mongoose & Snake Drag Race Set. It was Don Prudhomme’s appearance at Barrett-Jackson this last weekend here in Phoenix, that served […]
