Enter the #Subaru Impreza — a casting that appeared in a little known series (at the time) called the #FIA World Rally Championship Series (WRC) which was a subset of the #Hot Wheels Racing line in 2004. I don’t believe the series hit any of the big box […]
Some collectors lately are loving to hate Hot Wheels. For the very reason that Hot Wheels were bought for them as kids — $1 toy car — it seems as though in the world of social media, some collectors fail to understand that through 50 years, that remarkably […]
The first #HW Race Team (2017) series car has shown up! Appearing in the 2017 mainline “J” case assortments, the #’12 Ford Fiesta comes sporting a #Hot Wheels Race Team #14 Rally El Segundo deco. The car-specific/unique background graphics have carried over from the #HW Race Team (2016), which […]
The two week jump that Target got to distribute the Hot Wheels #Car Culture / Air-Cooled series is over and collectors have started finding this series at other retailers. While it seems the VWs are a popular commodity as I haven’t seen the Beetle and the Squareback yet, this #VW […]
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 […]

The #Hot Wheels Entertainment Line #FORZA Motorsport mix may very well be the best wave from the 4-year-old line yet! With the line back for its 5th year in 2017, it will carry a new name as it will now be known as the “Replica Entertainment” line — and […]
How many times must we say it? Given the right graphics treatment, some of these less-than-popular #Unlicensed Hot Wheels can really stand out! After multiple colorway releases in the 2014 & 2015 mainline and a less-than-stellar Snow Stormers 5-Pack release earlier this year, the #Dune Crusher was released […]
When Hot Wheels first released the Subaru Impreza casting in 2004, it was the first ever Hot Wheels #Subaru. Released in Hot Wheels Racing’s World Rally Championship 4-car series, the casting, nor the series weren’t entirely popular. 12 years later the tide has changed as collectors have been paying […]
Fresh off the pegs of my local Target is the Volkswagen SP2 from the 2016 Hot Wheels Retro Style Series. This isn’t Target’s first rodeo with retro Hot Wheels products as they took on several retro-branded products from 2006 to 2007. The first go-’round included vehicles and track sets based […]
