The #Pizza Planet Truck is one of the most popular animated vehicles of all-time, and yet I would be surprised if its total screen time more than a couple minutes. Its one of the many reoccurring “easter eggs” to appear Disney Pixar movies — and this one has […]
#Volkswagen fans rejoice! … there is a new #Beetle in the Hot Wheels mainline. The brand-new, #’49 Volkswagen Beetle Pickup casting made its debut as part of the #2019 Hot Wheels “B” case assortments and it does not disappoint. Much to the acclaim of Hot Wheels collectors, the […]
The #2018 Hot Wheels #Car Culture / Shop Trucks hit retail a couple weeks ago and the latest #Car Culture installment did not disappoint. Collectors have been gravitating towards all five trucks in the series as they are all done so nicely. In most cases however, the ’83 […]

Since Mattel bought Matchbox in 1997, Hot Wheels and Matchbox have diverged in brand direction. Matchbox focuses on regular, everyday vehicles while Hot Wheels […]
