Last year at this time, we were greeted with the first couple assortments of #2016 Hot Wheels in the basic line. Among those, was the #’69 Dodge Charger as part of the #HW Flames Series — the 10 vehicles in this series were voted on by collectors via a […]
There is definitely no shortage of #Muscle Cars in the Hot Wheels lineup. However, with the wealth of castings in this genre of car, there are a few castings that manage to be under-utilized. Specifically, the #Large and in Charger has only been used four times since its […]
Sometimes you buy a Hot Wheels release strictly based upon its graphic design execution — I know there are at least a few of you out there. For me, that was the case with this release of the ’12 Camaro ZL-1 from the 2013 HW Showroom / #HW Garage […]
Sometimes, all it takes is some #Spectraflame Paint and some #Real Riders to really make an #Unlicensed Hot Wheels car stand out. Such was the case this year with the Driftsta released in the #Night Burnerz Series. The Hot Wheels #Driftsta casting quietly snuck onto the scene last […]

Man, this year, Hot Wheels got it right with the #Night Burnerz Series as the whole series, up and down, is great — we may have to do a Top 10 of just this series. Six of the ten castings were #2016 New Models and one was in […]
It pains me to say, but sometimes it takes a super #Treasure Hunt release of an #Unlicensed Hot Wheels casting for collectors to take notice of it. It pains me even more to say that I dismissed the Hot Wheels Driftsta before I saw the 2016 super treasure hunt release […]
The design team at #Dodge deserves some credit as they keep churning out some great #Muscle Car models year after year. Between the #Viper, Challenger and the #Charger, #Mopar power is back! As if great design wasn’t enough, they keep finding ways to get more power out of these […]
We are coming to the end of another Hot Wheels year which means most colorways of releases for this year are out already. The ’67 Chevelle SS 396 from the HW Flames series had an interesting year as it may have set a new precedent for special cars […]
