As Hot Wheels designer, Phil Riehlman broke onto the scene in 1993 when he re-designed the Twin Mill and the Silhouette (along with Bruce Baur). His “big break” came in 1996 when his VW Bus casting became an instant hit with collectors and as a promotional piece. Phil continues to design Hot Wheels to this day.
The #Meyers Manx is one of those cars that screams Southern California and more importantly (in this setting), Hot Wheels. Introduced as a #2003 First Edition the Hot Wheels Meyers Manx appeared every year from 2003 until 2014, with 2011 being the lone year without a release. However, […]
Just a little over a decade ago, Volkswagens were all the rage. It seemed as though whenever Hot Wheels put a new #VW out, collectors were all over it, leaving none behind. Newer collectors got a glimpse of that this year with the release of the #Volkswagen T2 […]
Whether you love them, hate them, or fall somewhere in-between, the Hot Wheels #Character Cars are here to stay. When these first hit the pegs a couple years ago, traditional collectors were enraged that Hot Wheels would even do such a thing. Four years later, its almost like […]
The ’90s called, they want their Hot Wheels back! Haha! All joking aside (since April Fool’s Day was yesterday), the newest #2017 Hot Wheels #Treasure Hunts is the #Fandango and its been showing up as part of the “H” case assortments. This ’90s-inspired graphic art scheme appeared last […]
Not sure if the special golden #Chase cars have you buying vehicles from the #Mystery Models baggie cars, but there are certainly a few collectors/profiteers snatching them up looking to make a quick buck. For the most part, I have been leaving the ones I find behind as […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! We are all here because we share one thing in common: our love & passion for collecting toy cars. Taking it a step further, one car I have always loved — through several generations — is the #Dodge #Viper. I have a good majority of […]
The #RLC #sELECTIONs series is a rather unique concept in the diecast world. In 2004, the idea was launched (to coincide with the United States’ Presidential Election that year) to have the collectors “design” a series of Red Line Club vehicles. Collectors were able to vote for a casting (from […]
As a Hot Wheels collector who is budget savvy, I love hunting older releases online. Often collectors completely dismiss some cool pieces that are several years old in favor of adding the latest Treasure Hunts to their collection. With almost 50 years of Hot Wheels vehicles, I can guarantee there are cool […]
It seems as though the Hot Wheels #Ford Escort Rally casting has undergone a little bit of a face-lift for 2017. First introduced in 1998, the Escort Rally’s top-mounted plastic spoiler has been moved to the trunk, and is now cast as part of the metal body for this […]
With it being the holiday season (and officially being winter now in the northern hemisphere), those folks at Mattel really know how to bring the holiday cheer — I mean, they’re in the toy business after all. The snow has blanketed much of the country and gone are the […]
