“ZAMAC” is an acronym for Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium, And Copper — the metal mixture that makes up all Hot Wheels vehicles. When Hot Wheels are unpainted, they are referred to as “ZAMAC”. In 2013, Walmart stores began carrying Walmart Exclusive “ZAMAC” editions which are unpainted variants of existing Hot Wheels mainline vehicles.

Released just last year, the #’91 GMC Syclone now has seven variants. In this family are a #Walmart Exclusive #ZAMAC, a #Target Exclusive premium, and a fresh #Kroger Exclusive in yellow. Suffice to say this little buttkicker from the ’90s may be destined for quite an epic collection […]

The latest wave of #Walmart Exclusive #ZAMACs came as part of the #2019 Hot Wheels “N” case assortment. In this three-car release, were there of the best ZAMACs all-year: #’56 Ford F-100, #’67 Chevelle SS 396 and the McLaren 720S. While the other two are certainly deserving of […]
How can a car with no #Real Riders be in the #Replica Entertainment line? Is Mattel getting cheap? Short answer: No. This was the reaction of a handful of vocal collectors across social media when it was shown that the latest iteration of the iconic DeLorean Time Machine […]
Here’s one that you have probably seen before, but have not had a chance to obtain yet: the #2018 Collector Edition #’70 Chevy Blazer. It was scheduled to be a Walmart Mail-In for earlier this year, however, the details never surfaced. This left a lot of collectors resorting […]
It may very well be the best trio released this year in the #2018 Hot Wheels mainline. The #HW Hot Trucks Series release of the #Datsun 620 started out with a bang, and momentum never really slowed down. Months before the first 2018 mainline cars were first seen, […]
