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 […]
The Morris Mini — which I still affectionately refer to as the “Mini Cooper” since that was it’s original name — is a #Treasure Hunt once again! This stout racer originally debuted in the series back in 2002, before returning in the anniversary year of 2005, as a […]

The #2021 Hot Wheels “A” cases have officially landed at retail in the United States. Over the weekend, collectors started to ring in the “Hot Wheels New Year” as many posted their finds from Target and Walmart. I was among those collectors as I was shocked to find […]
The year was 2012. The world was supposed to end — again. Instead, it was the year Hot Wheels introduced the “secret” super treasure hunts. As it stands, it was the only year (after the super TH was introduced in 2007) that had a #Treasure Hunt series, but […]
