With Japan Historics 2 hitting retail already, it almost feels like the time to shine (on the pegs) for the #Car Culture / Cars & Donuts series was cut short. Heck, I know several collectors that haven’t even seen the series pegged yet. It is rather unfortunate that […]
Just three months ago, Hot Wheels collectors from around the world converged upon Los Angeles for the #31st Annual Collectors Convention. There collectors were treated to a series of collector- & kid-oriented events, sneak peeks from Mattel and a variety of exclusive #Convention Vehicles. With the recent success […]
With #2018 Hot Wheels being released left and right, its easy to look ahead at what is in-store for us collectors — especially in the #Car Culture line with the 2018 Japan Historics 2 already being released. Before we change calendars though, lets take a look at one […]
Around this time last year, collectors were occupied with trying to track down the #2017 Hot Wheels “C” case assortments at their retail establishment of choice.

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 […]
