2020 so far has been a bummer. Unless you are talking about Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunts
Has this run of 2020 Super Treasure Hunts been the best ever? I think you can make the argument that it has. Of course we like what we like, so there is no way to prove it, but dang the first 8 Supers of 2020, marking 25 years of Treasure Hunts, have been stellar. I […]

Case Report: Hot Wheels 2020 J Case
With all the mayhem in the world, it is safe to assume the roll-out of new product from Hot Wheels and our other favorite brands might be a little sporadic. Which in some ways might be a good thing, considering toy hunting might be as “non-essential” as it gets. These things will be waiting for […]

Video overload. A&J Toys sent over both the US and International G Cases from Hot Wheels. US came first, International the day after, and I have now opened both.

The Hot Wheels 2020 L and M Case Super Treasure Hunts are…
I don’t unveil much anymore. Occasionally I get a chance to show something as yet unseen, but I have enjoyed turning Lamley into a place for features and previews. And honestly, I have no idea if these have both been leaked. Maybe they have. The Ford Galaxie has, because I got a few folks asking […]

A Tale of Two: Matchbox & Hot Wheels Nissan D21 Hardbody Pickups
Full Yin & Yang. Contrary to what some think, even with Mattel owning both brands, there is no meeting where designers for both brands get together and decide who does what model.

Lamley Awards Poll: What was the BEST Hot Wheels RLC Model in 2019?
Last poll. There has been a pretty big gap in between polls, and my plan was to actually have all the winners from the other categories already announced. But a little break from videos and other circumstances delayed that and here we are. The 2019 RLC year ended last week with the sale of the […]

The Tesla Cybertruck comes to Hot Wheels
It did seem inevitable, and Hot Wheels dropped the bomb today. Working directly with the Cybertruck designer himself, the Hot Wheels Innovation team is rolling out an extremely limited 1:10 Scale RC Cybertruck along with a 1:64 RC.
