One of the things I love about collecting Hot Wheels is being exposed to cars (and car brands) that I would never even be interested in otherwise. #Renault — the French automaker — is one of them. In recent years, I have learned more and more about their […]
Hot Wheels of the Day Lamborghini Countach 1996 Treasure Hunts RELEASE YEAR: 1996 • CASTING DESIGNER: Larry Wood Ahhhhh…. The fluorescent beauty which is an absolute pain to photograph. That is how I remember it. Most, however, know it as the #1996 Treasure Hunts #Lamborghini Countach. This thing […]
I love collecting Hot Wheels original designs like the #Mod Rod. No hype. No inflated prices. No collectors hoarding every single one off the pegs or raiding pallets. Besides the obvious, collecting #Unlicensed Hot Wheels has often exposed me to car genres I probably would have never dabbled […]
Hot Wheels of the Day ’70 Camaro Road Race Super Treasure Hunt / HW Performance Series RELEASE YEAR: 2012 • CASTING DESIGNER: Dave Weise There is a lot to love about the #’70 Camaro Road Race Super #Treasure Hunt from 2012. First things first: notice how it got […]
The new kid on the block as far as Hot Wheels product lines are concerned is the #Hot Wheels Monster Trucks (HWMT) line. Oddly enough, the end of 2022 completes the fifth year — already?!?!? — of the line. Thus far we have seen some pretty cool things […]

Hot Wheels of the Day Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 Treasure Hunts RELEASE YEAR: 2007 • CASTING DESIGNER: Alec Tam Ahhh … 2007. It was the first year #Treasure Hunts were broken into two tiers — prompting what are commonly referred to as Super Treasure Hunts. It was also […]
Randy Landrum is the Senior Pastor at Village Baptist Church in Whitehall, Ohio. He enjoys Hot Wheels cars. He enjoys collecting & customizing them. One early winter day in late 2018, he was going through some Hot Wheels he had in his kitchen and pulled out the #First […]
You always hear from collectors who went to the grocery store for “X” and found supers, or “soup”. In the back of your mind is, “yeaaaah, riiiight” or, “that never happens to me…”; well, that was me this last Sunday. Wandered into my local grocery store down the […]
Like many of you, the majority of my casting collections don’t start with the #First Edition release. I mean, it’s not much of a collection to begin with unless multiple variants are released right off the bat. My affinity for the Hot Wheels #Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 began […]
