Posted on by jtl46

Obviously I don't know the sales and revenue numbers, but let's ask that question in the title from a collector perspective. Entertainment and Pop Culture have lasted longer, and thankfully done well, but Car Culture seems to be on a different level entirely. For those that have collected for at least the last 15 years … Continue reading Hot Wheels Car Culture enters its FIFTH year with Door Slammers.

Preview: Two new Squarebody Chevys, the brand new Ford F-150 and Auto World Premium Release 4

Posted on by jtl46

Auto World is killing it. Truly hitting its stride. Releases are still sparse, which I actually like, giving AW collectors time to appreciate each one. This is the fourth of 2019, and like they've been doing lately, another home run. Release 4 marks the debut of the massive Ford F-150, the largest AW to date. … Continue reading Preview: Two new Squarebody Chevys, the brand new Ford F-150 and Auto World Premium Release 4 →

Slammed Nissans, California’d Beetles, new and old Muscle, and a long awaited Toyota. Hot Wheels Cruise Boulevard marks four years of Car Culture.

Posted on by jtl46

Man this feels nostalgic. Not the slammed Nissan Hardbody, or the classic Chevelle, or any car in this set. Each feels actually quite new. I'm doing a photo feature and write-up.

While a Donk is technically a 70’s era Caprice or Impala, the term has come to loosely refer to plethora of … Continue reading Saturday Showcase: The forgotten Donks of 2006 Hot Wheels Hi-Rakers →

Posted on by jtl46

I've been surprised to hear a few of you complaining that the Fast & Furious Premium set is a little played out. What is more surprising is that I am going to be the one countering, especially considering my opinion on Fast & Furious. I don't hate the Fast & Furious movies. I actually have … Continue reading Showcase: Hot Wheels Premium Fast & Furious Off-Road →

Saturday Showcase: Collecting the Hot Wheels Behemoth Rigs

Posted on by jtl46

It isn't something you think of too much when someone mentions Hot Wheels. The world of fast cars usually doesn't have space for the big rigs, unless of course they are there to transport the fast cars around. But Hot Wheels has done some big rigs, and done them very well. Awhile ago I decided … Continue reading Saturday Showcase: Collecting the Hot Wheels Behemoth Rigs →
