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.
The year was 2003 and out of the forty-two #2003 First Editions, there weren’t many that excited the general collecting community. No rush to the pegs to hoard all of one #First Edition … it was kind of nice. Of course that was then and its 13 years later […]
Showcasing unannounced, hidden series here at Orange Track Diecast seems to be the motif of this week. This time we are looking at the #Chinese New Year Hot Wheels as we are at the half-way point of the Year of the Monkey. The Year of the Monkey started on February 8th […]
Sometimes its the little things that pique your interest when it comes to collecting diecast and more specifically, #Unlicensed Hot Wheels. Sure, a roller coaster Hot Wheels car is cool but since it wasn’t feasible to feature the whole train inside a Hot Wheels mainline blister, some sort […]

Not to be confused with #Treasure Hunts, these Scavenger Hunt vehicles are usually tied into a promotion at Kroger stores and its subsidiaries. Packaged in the normal mainline cases, these cars are not tied […]
Life on the farm tends to be a slow, monotonous life-style. But what if your farm had a drag-racing tractor? Well, that may speed things up a bit! Thats exactly what the Hot Wheels Dragtor is … a drag-racing tractor. From the mind of Hot Wheels designer (and […]
Now that the Stars & Stripes series has become pegwarmers in most Walmarts in the United States, most collectors have been able to get their hands on these. Assembling the blister cards to create an #American Flag mural (with two bald eagles), some collectors have even got creative […]
