Hot Wheels of the Day Shelby Cobra 427 S/C Mainline / Real Riders RELEASE YEAR: 1983 • CASTING DESIGNER: Larry Wood The #Shelby Cobra 427 S/C is one of those classic Hot Wheels that has ranked up there with the most desirable castings for decades. And, even with […]
To long-time members of the Red Line Club, the #HWC Series 8: #Sugar Caddy represents some pretty heavy RLC anguish. Sound familiar? Given the stress of yesterday’s sale, I thought it would be fitting to look at a car that lives deep within HWC lore. In 2009, the […]
As a child of the 1980s, I was born into the Hot Wheels #Real Riders era by default. Many of my favorite childhood cars had them. See Real Riders: Jeep Scrambler. When I started collecting in the mid-1990s, Hot Wheels #Redlines had already taken off in value — […]
Remember this guy? This spectraflame blue #Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) was released less than 6 months ago on HotWheelsCollectors.com exclusively to Red Line Club (RLC) members. The one-time run of 12,500 pieces cost RLC members $19.99 (plus shipping & tax) on sale day. The car sold out that […]

The evolution of the Red Line Club continues with another casting getting the #Opening Feature treatment: the #Custom ’72 Datsun 240Z. If you recall, this casting made its debut just two years ago in the mainline as part of the 2017 Factory Fresh series. The FuguZ was tied […]
The 2019 #RLC Membership #Custom Camaro is here! Decked out in #Spectraflame Black, this Custom Camaro (casting-wise) resembles the very first RLC Membership car, the #’67 Camaro. As a RLC Member since that inaugural year in 2002, I’ve been along for the ride; and while its sure been […]
