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.
Hot Wheels has sure gotten it right with their #Car Culture line. This line seems to be flying off the peg hooks of retailers everywhere. Case in point, the #Car Culture / Track Day series has been out for about 2 months now, so its not entirely surprising that […]
Last year at this time, we were greeted with the first couple assortments of #2016 Hot Wheels in the basic line. Among those, was the #’69 Dodge Charger as part of the #HW Flames Series — the 10 vehicles in this series were voted on by collectors via a […]
Chances are, if you’re a collector of the Hot Wheels #Mini Cooper, this piece was (or still is) your holy grail when it comes to completing all the variants of this casting’s collection. Even back in 2002, this was not an easy car to find as it seemed to […]

The announcement of Walgreens stores in the United States getting the Halloween & #Gran Turismo Series cars along with Mini “N” Case Shippers had collectors coming down with the sickness as they made their way to the typically baron (from a Hot Wheels perspective) drugstore. Upon pilfering through those […]
The three cars from the Hot Wheels #Need for Speed video game collection for 2016 are finally together with the addition of the Night Burnerz: Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34). Its a collection that many collectors have been looking to complete since it was announced last November that these […]
One of my all-time favorite #Muscle Cars would have to be the 1969 Dodge Charger so it should come as no surprise that I collect the #’69 Dodge Charger casting from 2004 and the newer, slightly different #’69 Dodge Charger 500 casting from 2015. Fans of both ’69 […]
The year was 2003 and out of the forty-two #2003 First Editions, there weren’t many that excited the general collecting community. No rush to the pegs to hoard all of one #First Edition … it was kind of nice. Of course that was then and its 13 years later […]
