When the team at Hot Wheels produced the #Dual Cool 5-Pack in 2005, it wasn’t their intention to have double the #Variations on the vehicles in it — let alone three different 5-Packs all together. If you were collecting back in 2005, you most likely remember this 5-Pack as […]
After a 5-year layoff it was certainly nice to see the Hot Wheels #Nissan Skyline R32 casting reemerge as part of the #Gran Turismo Series. Fans of the casting were certainly relieved as rumors of it being a #Discontinued Casting were dispelled. The surprises didn’t end there as this […]
Way back in April, after the 16th Annual Hot Wheels Nationals Convention in Indianapolis, this image surfaced as it was in the finale sneak peek slide show at the convention. The hype for this release has reached insurmountable levels as collectors have licked their chops for just under seven […]

The three cars from the Hot Wheels #Need for Speed video game collection for 2016 are finally together with the addition of the Night Burnerz: Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34). Its a collection that many collectors have been looking to complete since it was announced last November that these […]
When the Gran Turismo series was first announced, two cars stood out from the pack of 8 for me — the Jaguar XJ220 and the Nissan Skyline R32. See, both cars had not been released for 5 years and were considered to be “endangered” as far as Hot Wheels […]
