Unlicensed Hot Wheels are Hot Wheels castings that don’t require licensing agreements with automobile manufacturers. These can be fantasy vehicles and/or realistically proportioned vehicles. These are designed in-house by Hot Wheels designers.
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 Bassline AcceleRacers / Drone’d Series RELEASE YEAR: 2006 • CASTING DESIGNER: Blake Allen In 2006, the #AcceleRacers line was back for the second consecutive year. It wouldn’t, however, make it to the end. We have seen this time and time again, Hot Wheels […]

We have reached the pinnacle of Hot Wheels premium thus far. That is a fact! Collectors like to oooh and ahhh over the latest mixes of #Car Culture, #Boulevard, #Replica Entertainment, #Fast & Furious, and sometimes even #Pop Culture. New mixes sell like hot cakes, while older ones […]
