Like you, I often see other collectors selling Hot Wheels via their social media outlets, on eBay, or at in-person events. I come across listings & prices that seem absurd — and in most cases, they are. Regretfully, I spend a lot of time looking these items up […]
If collecting Hot Wheels has taught me anything, it’s the importance of diversity. Diversity sparks creativity; creativity fuels culture. Without it, I honestly believe there would be no car culture, and certainly no Hot Wheels. For a long period of time, Hot Wheels reflected California’s custom car culture. […]
A couple weeks ago, I published an article on HotWheelsCollectors.com — exclusively for Red Line Club members — that explained where the Hot Wheels Race Team originated, in addition to including some interesting collections within the segment that seemingly has no bounds. Under the section titled, “The Hot […]
Sitting in one of my many piles of things to share with you was the #2020 Collector Edition: #Volkswagen Sunagon. I received it a little ways back from another collector as these were available at the first (and only) Legends Tour event for 2020 — as well as […]
Last week I was able to add the #Pop Culture / The Beatles series release of the #Custom GMC Panel Van. Its all-white body with blue brush guard, and graphics from the 1965 Beatles album Help! had me reminiscing about the days of the casting as the A-Team […]

The other day I was filling my 108-count Acrylic Display Case with my Hot Wheels Custom ’77 Dodge Van collection and noticed I had still yet to open two releases: the “Mummy Marauders” Color Shifters Creatures release and the 2015 Super #Treasure Hunt. I had planned to do […]
The Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary celebration is coming to a close as the #2019 Hot Wheels have just started showing up at retail. Among those 2019 releases is the brand-new, #Super Chromes #Custom ’77 Dodge Van. As of the last few years, any time a vehicle is “chromed” […]
From a collector’s standpoint, the focus of the 2018 #Walmart Exclusive, #MOPAR Series is on the all-metal, ’70 Dodge Power Wagon. Its a great truck casting that I admit buying my fair share of when I saw a couple sets on the pegs one night. The other casting […]
