Some cars were born to dominate the Autobahn, some to haul groceries, and then there’s the 1995 BMW M3 LTW, a featherweight Bavarian legend that made less than 500 appearances in real life. Hot Wheels has decided that everyone deserves a taste of this unicorn, and so here comes the […]
Nemesis Prime, the dark version of Optimus Prime, has never been a popular character. It shows in the toy pricing. As far as toys go, you could say it is a “consolation prize” for not being able to score the OG. Well, guess what? Your chance at scoring this “consolation […]
Much like Hasbro and Mattel, Japanese toymaker TOMY does crowdfunding too. However, unlike the two giants that churn out collector’s toys on a regular basis, TOMY is more like a curator at a fine museum. It only does so once in a very long while, and each time it makes […]
If you are a serious collector of Hot Wheels, odds are you already have some of the original 1968 cars in your stash. But whether you do or not, as a super fan, you won’t want to miss this: the Mattel 80th Anniversary Hot Wheels Original 16 Rally Case Set. […]
I think the world’s done roasting the Tesla Cybertruck, but that doesn’t make it any less polarizing—or desirable to some. Sadly, it’s not available everywhere, and where it is, the price is steep. So for those who want one but can’t have it, the next best thing is a collectible—like […]

Call me old school, but let me tell you this: a name change to an iconic line of JDM is bad news. Just look at the GT-R under Carlos Ghosn and the Impreza-less WRX. Sure, they still have their followings, but they are never as celebrated as they used to […]
Back in the ’90s, when boy bands ruled the radio and racing sedans wore boxy suits, the Audi A4 quattro was out there not playing around. Despite rocking a humble inline-four, it clobbered the competition across Europe’s Super Touring series, thanks to its grippy all-wheel-drive and the kind of cornering […]
Attention, fans of JDM—specifically Honda and its R sports cars. Hot Wheels is prepping to release a box set featuring some of the most iconic Honda rides under its Hot Wheels Premium label. The set comes in an acrylic display box printed with three images of a Honda garage. Inside, […]
