The 2014 High-Speed Wheels Track Stars came and went as the line never hit big box stores here in the United States. Found mostly at Hobby Stores, smaller retailers and even among the few cars hanging at Kohl’s department stores, this series had my eye from the beginning. […]
We’re only in January, yet we’ve been graced with several #Hot Wheels Race Team vehicles for 2016 — two of which, have come via 5-Packs. This #Hollowback, along with the Ballistik from the Track Stars 5-Pack have been great surprises, and both have worn the #16 for 2016. While the […]
While I admit I bought the 2016 Track Stars 5-Pack for the race team Ballistik, it was hard not to notice The Gov’ner that was also included in the 5-Pack. The Gov’ner has been a Hot Wheels collector cult-favorite for years as it is a sleek track car that […]
Heads up to all you #Hot Wheels Race Team collectors out there! Another race team car is on the loose as the 2016 Track Stars 5-Pack contains the Ballistik in that signature race team blue and featuring the #16. Originally introduced in 2002, the Hot Wheels Ballistik was […]

The Thunder Trucks 4-Pack was one of those sets that seem to be on the shelf forever and you keep telling yourself that you will pick it up the “next time”. Then one day you go to buy and its finally sold out. Originally released in 1996, I […]
Another one of those former AcceleRacers castings, the Piledriver originated in the Metal Maniacs segment of that line. Driven by Deezel “Porkchop” Riggs in the cartoon, it is named after the wrestling move of the same name (according to the Hot Wheels Wiki). It has a V10 engine along […]

The ’81 DeLorean DMC-12 is strongly considered as a car that was ahead of its time. This sport-tuned sports car with stainless steel body and gull-wing doors is one vehicle that still captures stares on the road. The Hot Wheels ’81 DeLorean DMC-12 is no different. Since its […]
