It's hard to imagine the 2025 F1 season is nearly over with just two races remaining in Brazil and Las Vegas respectively. Even with the end of the 2025 season upon us, only just now are the 1/64 Premium F1 Hot Wheels from the 2024 season just hitting store shelves. With the astonishing growth in popularity of the sport, F1 products like this which were once nonexistent are now becoming far more commonplace. This new premium product demonstrates the awesome casting capabilities of Mattel, but it also makes some sacrifices for the sake of cost, for more...

Taking a quick stroll past the cash register at the grocery store is always a bit whimsical when you're lucky enough to find a good casting on a mainline Hot Wheels car. Even at around $2 USD, it still feels like you're getting more than your money's worth if there's something on the pegs that's of any interest. 

Toyota Supra's little brother, the GR86 is fun and exciting. When Toyota and Subaru got together to collaborate on a this little 2+2 sports car, the GR86 (Toyota) and the BRZ (Subaru), was born. 

The car hit the market in 2012, and is still in production with heightened popularity still in 2025. While the re-born Supra has suffered criticism for it really being a BMW Z4, the GR86 has held the true adoration of Toyota loyalists. For a closer look at this HW version, read on...

I was recently able to secure a pair of Premium Hot Wheels from the Japan Historic line. These are two of five cars featured in series 4. Both of these cars will soon be up for a closer review, but they really are very nice in hand, and they deserve to showcased before being opened. 

This was a very enjoyable pair to photograph, and both are solid castings. For a closer look at the Nissan Fairlady Z, and the 1972 Toyota Corolla, Read on...

Between 2020 and 2023, the Corvette C8.R entered 57 World Endurance Championship races. Of those races, the car claimed 22 wins, 50 podiums, and 23 pole awards. The car has been piloted by racing legends such as Jordan Taylor, Nick Tandy, Antonio García, and Nick Catsburg. 

Now, gladly enough, the C8.R is featured in the Hot Wheels 2024 Premium lineup of 'Race Day.' The race car is number 2 of 5, and is probably the second best of the bunch. There's lots to like about this casting. For more, read on.

Finding 'real' cars in the Hot Wheels mainline of distribution can be difficult at times. Gladly a local restock was flush with recognizable autos. 

The J-Imports, or Japanese Imports line has been a personal favorite of mine recently. sports cars, drifters, tuners, and hot hatchbacks have all been featured and today, I'm taking a look a really clean looking Subaru WRX STI. The car comes in a galaxy gray base coat with gold chrome rims and also features some subtle decals. Gladly, the car has printed on head lamps, and even better, side mirrors. For the full overview, read on...

It works out perfectly that my renewed interest in collecting Hot Wheels coincides with the sporty new line, Ultra Hots. Hot Wheels has used this line name before (2006 and 2007) but this line is not related to the one designed by Larry Wood. 

This special set is steeped in retro goodness. Classic cars, old-school base paint coats, and nostalgic details like those three pronged rims call to anyone who is motivated by nostalgia. Hot Wheels also incorporated the old logo and also used card art that depicts cars in motion. This line is meant to make you feel like a kid collecting in the early 80's again. And it does...
