The #Hot Wheels Classics line was a roller coaster of a ride for collectors as it certainly had its highs and lows. After word got out in early 2005 that there would be a line of retro-inspired vehicles wearing #Spectraflame Paint and basic wheels with #Redlines, collector hype […]
Every summer, the biggest comic enthusiasts in the world attend the largest comic-con out there: San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). Over the years, more and more companies from varying industries have gotten involved with “the con” as it continued to grow. Just a little over a decade ago, Mattel’s […]
Here’s one for all you Hot Wheels treasure hunters out there. Surely, you remember the Matte Silver and Blue #So Plowed that came out almost a year ago in the #2017 Hot Wheels “F” case assortments, right? Not the best regular #Treasure Hunt out there, but certainly no […]
Around this time last year, collectors were occupied with trying to track down the #2017 Hot Wheels “C” case assortments at their retail establishment of choice.

The 2017 #Then and Now Series netted us Hot Wheels #Viper collectors four variants to add to our collections this year, and my-oh-my has it been fun chasing these, especially that Super #Treasure Hunt #’13 Dodge Viper SRT. Way back in May, we covered the Then and Now […]
