Spectrafrost first appeared in the Cool Classics line in 2013 and continued until the line was discontinued in 2014. Since the finish closely resembles that of satin based paints, collectors have started using the term as a synonym for all satin Hot Wheels cars.
When I returned from the Hot Wheels convention two weeks ago, I was proud of myself for sticking to one of my goals: fills holes in the collection without overspending. I had some good scores in the room-to-room buying, but didn’t have that huge score like I had […]
The #Hot Wheels Cool Classics came and went. For as long as Series 1 (2013) seemed to hang on the pegs, Series 2 (2014) — with a more diverse casting selection — didn’t stand much of a chance. The Cool Classics introduced us to the #Retro Slot Wheels […]
Have you ever been infatuated with a #Multi-Pack Exclusive car? I’m sure you have… Doesn’t it always seem to be in a Hot Wheels 9-Pack or 20-Pack where you don’t want ANY of the other cars? Ugh… Sometimes if you’re lucky, someone online will have the car for […]
The #’70 Chevy Chevelle SS is back again for 2017 in what has become one of my favorite segments, the #Night Burnerz Series. Hot Wheels vaguely describes the lineup of cars as “Super speeders designed for night driving”, but to me, this series is the epitome of the […]
Back when Hot Wheels was still releasing 10-packs (before they shifted to 9-packs), they released two 10-packs that contained cars that were all exclusive. Collectors had been used to the one-car exclusive in previous 10-packs and these were typically outlined in the packaging. In 2009, collectors were thrown a […]
We’ve reach the summit of #Night Breed Week here at Diecast Motorsports. This series has been great and has spawned several other future ideas. We conclude #Night Breed Week with the car I feel is the pinnacle of the Night Breed 5-Pack, the Toyota Celica. I eluded to […]
Here we are in day 4 of #Night Breed Week and we have an unlicensed Hot Wheels casting named, Flight ’03. While I’m the first to admit that I don’t know much about this casting, Please allow for me to point a few things out. First, the Flight […]
Ahhhh, the Ford Focus–the lone-wolf of the Night Breed 5-Pack. While its seemingly unclear of the Hot Wheels Marketing Department’s intentions behind including this pro-stock car in a 5-Pack with 4 other tuner-style cars, it does look great in that Spectrafrost Red. It looks so good that we […]
The second car in our #Night Breed Week-long series is the 24/Seven. An unlicensed Hot Wheels casting designed by Dave Weise that takes some strong design cues from a 1990s Mazda RX-7. It is believed the “Seven” in the second-half of the name is a nod to the […]
The Night Breed 5-Pack has to be one of the coolest Hot Wheels 5-Packs to ever hit the shelves. This 5-Pack was released in 2004 and contained 4 tuner cars and 1 pro-stock car. The best aspect: the cars featured the satin paint known as Spectrafrost before it was termed, “Spectrafrost”. […]
