In what can pretty much be called the most successful #Mail-In in Hot Wheels history, the #Datsun Bluebird 510 had some collectors buying mainline cars by the thousands. Since this #2017 Collector Edition was revealed, collectors had been eagerly awaiting the promotional period that started on February 12, […]
Rounding out the #2016 Treasure Hunts as the “Q” case (or last assortment) Super TH, the #Carbonic has drawn mixed reviews. Some have called it the “Worst Super of 2016” while others hold it in a higher regard. Was it the casting that had people hating on it? […]
“Its finally here!” That is what Red Line Club (RLC) members have been saying this last week as their 2014/2015 #RLC Rewards car finally showed up after 470+ days. Originally ordered the week of November 24, 2015, this release was made-to-order after RLC members cashed in their priority […]
There was only a 5-year span (2007-2011) in which we got regular and super #Treasure Hunts (TH/$TH) of the same casting. This began when Hot Wheels went to the 2-tier TH system in 2007 and ended in 2012 when super Treasure Hunts became hidden in the various segment […]
The #RLC #sELECTIONs series is a rather unique concept in the diecast world. In 2004, the idea was launched (to coincide with the United States’ Presidential Election that year) to have the collectors “design” a series of Red Line Club vehicles. Collectors were able to vote for a casting (from […]
Sometimes, all it takes is some #Spectraflame Paint and some #Real Riders to really make an #Unlicensed Hot Wheels car stand out. Such was the case this year with the Driftsta released in the #Night Burnerz Series. The Hot Wheels #Driftsta casting quietly snuck onto the scene last […]
Last week Friday, #30th Annual Collectors Convention goers we speculating what the #RLC Party Exclusive would be at the #RLC party that evening. Around midday, news broke (for RLC members only) that the traditional HotWheelsCollectors.com sneak peek was up and it was what many collectors had already speculated, the […]
As an editor (moderator) over at HotWheelsCollectors.com (HWC), I often see collectors clamoring for the Red Line Club (RLC) of years’ past — often referring to the beginning as the “glory years”. Well, I can recall those years pretty vividly and they weren’t as seamless as most can […]
How often does one of your favorite Hot Wheels castings become popular, then hoarded, making it hard to find at times? That was the #Ferrari 599XX for me! Sure, its a beautifully designed #Exotic #Race Car, so I don’t mind that other collectors share my liking of it. […]
The Hot Wheels Hi-Tailer Hauler is one of those classic Hot Wheels castings that anybody who grew up in the late ’70s and early ’80s remembers. It should come of no surprise that the great Larry Wood designed this unique truck with the two motorcycles in the back. Based […]
