Real Riders are synthetic plastic tires that are made to look and feel like rubber. They were developed by Hot Wheels designers Bob Rosas and Larry Wood. They were first released in 1983 and continue to be released to this day.
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, […]
Unlike a lot of other collectors, I never grew up around cool cars. When I started collecting in the mid ’90s, my parents owned a Ford Taurus and a Ford Aerostar, and cars were a method of getting from Point A to Point B. As I got older, […]
There is a new bad-ass casting in the Hot Wheels lineup and it has gotten paired with arguably the most bad-ass bounty hunter of all-time, #Boba Fett. The Hot Wheels #’60s Ford Econoline Pickup makes is #First Edition debut as part of the #2017 Hot Wheels #Pop Culture […]

The Hot Wheels #Car Culture / Race Day series started hitting Target at the beginning of the month and it has already begun showing up and the other retailers that carry the line. Noticeably, the car that appears to be a must have (out of the 5-car series) […]
One of the more underrated castings in the Hot Wheels arsenal (of thousands of castings), is the #’67 Ford Bronco. The #First Edition of it — as its only release to this day — came as part of the #Hot Wheels Entertainment Line in 2014. Representing the #Bronco […]
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 […]
If you could sum up modern day Hot Wheels collecting in a nut-shell, one could argue its like keeping up with the Joneses. You’re buying the latest cars, keeping up with the assortments, tracking others’ finds online, and of course, hunting for the #Treasure Hunts — whether to […]
