Hot Wheels of the Day Renault 5 Turbo Car Culture / Modern Classics RELEASE YEAR: 2017 Bring back the #Renault 5 Turbo! I’ve developed a little but of an affinity for the car after recently playing a racing game, and then subsequently seeing a 1:1 on the road. […]
Ask any collector for a top 10 list of Red Line Club (#RLC) releases and I’m almost certain this #’01 Mini Cooper doesn’t show up. That mostly speaks to the hundreds of awesome cars the club has released on HWC over the last 20 years, but in a […]

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 […]
