Steve Vandervate, known by “HWCVAN” or “Van” to most collectors, is one of the main Graphic Designers for Hot Wheels as he designs graphics for all premium level lines (HWC/RLC, Conventions/Events, Pop Culture, Car Culture, and Entertainment lines) as well as some vehicles in the themed and basic assortments.
The last series of the #2019 Hot Wheels #Car Culture line is here: Cruise Boulevard. The Car Culture / Cruise Boulevard series consists of five customized vehicles that you could expect to see driving down your local “main drag” any night of the week. Ford, Chevy, VW, Nissan, […]
Hot Wheels #Car Culture / Team Transport is really hitting its stride — you can tell. The first several cases were loaded up with collector-favorite cars being hauled by some pretty cool, new trucks. Collectors have responded well to the line. Now, we are starting to see the […]
The reason the Hot Wheels #Car Culture line has been such a success is the fact that each wave targets a certain aspect of real-life car culture — hence the name. The car selection has been fantastic, the move to full-detail has proven to be well worth it, […]
When I posted that Amazon had Hot Wheels #Car Culture / Team Transport MIX E available this last Monday, I did not think they would be on my doorstep by the end of the week. But alas, they were! Fortunately, I did not have to order a whole […]
The #Connect Cars were released 10 years ago. So, its only fitting that I open & showcase my prized possession from the line: the North Carolina #’70 Plymouth Superbird. This car is particularly scarce due to its limited nature as it was one of the last cars to […]

Another wave of Hot Wheels #Car Culture has dropped, and this time its the #Tuners turn. Import tuning really took off in the 1990s in America as it was the latest generation’s hot rod culture. It was the one time the Hot Wheels brand was behind the curve […]
Lately, the Red Line Club (RLC) has been one-upping itself. #Spectraflame Paint has always been a part of the online club that has spanned two decades, but since last year, there has been a focus on increasing the details, and adding at least one #Opening Feature to all […]
The first #Mail-In promotion for 2019 is almost over (ends June 5th). Its kind of crazy considering we are over half-way through the Hot Wheels year already, and have only had one mail-in promotion. That shouldn’t surprise anyone though; as we were in a similar situation last year. […]
A car that had been at the top of many collector “wish lists” for years, the #Nissan Skyline Silhouette finally makes its Hot Wheels debut. Its been a long time coming, and it appears it may have been difficult for Hot Wheels to produce. But that doesn’t really […]
