One of my favorite #Treasure Hunt / Super Treasure Hunt combos would have to be the #’70 Plymouth Roadrunner from 2008. A quick look at the regular and the super, and it doesn’t feel like you are necessarily getting a consolation prize with the regular — but man, […]
Ooooooh, the #Cop Rods… if you’ve been collecting for the last 18 years or so, chances are you remember the original Cop Rods which were released in 1999 as a #K•B Toys Exclusive. This series, in which most of the vehicles had #Real Riders and all wore authentic […]
The reason I started this site nearly two years ago was to #Showcase my collection. But that wasn’t it … it was also about sharing #News and telling cool stories about Hot Wheels, all while injecting personal experiences from my 20+ years of collecting on occasion. Every so often, I don’t have […]

Since Mattel obtained the #Batmobile license from DC Comics in 2004, Hot Wheels has manufactured just about every incarnation of the Batmobile. Many Batman fans and collectors refer to certain Batmobiles as “The Keaton Batmobile” or the “TV Series Batmobile” or even by using the year in which […]
Quick! Get into the #Deora II and lets take a trip back to the early days of the Red Line Club (RLC) over at HotWheelsCollectors.com (HWC). HWC was launched on July 29, 2001 by Mattel/Hot Wheels as a place to have collectors share everything Hot Wheels and as a place […]
Arguably the most popular and iconic of all Hot Wheels is the ’67 Camaro casting. In 2007, it finished second in terms of popularity to the Volkswagen Drag Bus in a collectors poll. How can the ’67 Camaro be an all-time favorite Hot Wheels car when it wasn’t even […]
