Collections

Inspired by Robb Knight's collection page, I've created my own for my small but growing collection of model cars.

Cars

Make ID HKG40
Make Hot Wheels
Casting '73 Honda Civic Custom
Series HW J-Imports
Year 2023
Notes

The orange colour with the black hood does stand out. The car also has a plastic spoiler with front and rear decals. The front license plate reads 'Honda' and the read 'HotWheels'. The model also has a lowered suspension adding to it's modified look.

Make Hot Wheels
Casting '81 DeLorean DMC-12
Series HW: The '80s
Year 2023
Notes

The matte blue paint with stripes look really good. After collecting the Back to the Future DeLorean, this was an obvious choice once I saw it in store.


Make ID HKG48
Make Hot Wheels
Casting Alfa Romeo GTV6 3.0
Series Retro Racers
Year 2023
Notes

New casting in 2023, this is their first variant released. Red base with Alfa Romeo, brembo, momo, Agip, Hot Wheels and HWGRFX decals on each side. Front headlights are and side indicator decals are present. Both front windows are left open. I like the wheel type with this design.


Make ID HKG47
Make Hot Wheels
Casting Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution
Series Mud Studs
Year 2023
Notes

Base white with Ralliart and Evolution decals on both sides. The headlights are painted with the Mitsubishi logo on teh front. The red based comes up to make part of the grill on the front. A steering wheel can be seen on the right hand side. Black plastic is sued on the front and rear bumpers as well ass the rear spare wheel. I really like the way the Pajero looks in real life and the model does a goot job of replicating that, although I feel the spolers could be larger. Unfortunately the paint seems to be peeling off, white paint chips from the left mirror, spoiler and right rear window panel have fallen off.

Casting '15 Dodge Charger SRT
Series HW First Response Mini Collection (2024)

Make ID HKG48
Make Hot Wheels
Casting Alfa Romeo GTV6 3.0
Series Factory Fresh
Year 2024
Notes

Light gray base with red and black stripes on the side. The side indicators and front headlights are painted on. The front windows are left open. Now I have two of these castings. I'm a bit annoyed with myself I saw a third variant at Wibra shortly after but didn't purchase it thinking it was one the existing variants I had. It was from the Retro Racing series with a white base which I don't yet have, maybe I'll cross paths with it later

Make Hot Wheels
Casting Back to the Future Time Machine - Hover Mode
Series HW Screen Time
Year 2024
Notes

Saw this on the peg and had to pick it up, the first Hot Wheels car I've picked up since I restart my car collection. Appreciate the wire decals on the side and read and the interior visible through the clear plastic screens.


Make ID 280A
Make Majorette
Casting Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC
Series WRC Cars
Year 2023
Notes

Good amount of decals with the design and sponsors. Front plastic headlights with WRC Hyundai painted on the windshield. The front side windows have the opening edged into the plastic. The roll cage is also visible on the inside. Rubber tires and a nice hefty metal spoiler. I bought this over Amazon where you cannot choose the exact car but just the series. I was secretly hoping for the Toyota Yaris but I think Thierry Neuville is an interesting driver so this works too.

Year 2023
Notes

Painted in the well known Toyota Gazoo Racing colours. Front headlights are plastic. Comes with a stiff suspension. I like the details on each of the tyres, it reads 'MAJORETTE'. The back license plate is extruded and holds the clasp for the base. This car was seen racing at the Nürburgring.

Make Majorette
Casting Toyota GRMN Yaris
Series Toyota Racing 5 Pieces Giftpack
Year 2023
Notes

Black with decals on four sides. Plastic is used for the headlights. Comes with suspension. I like the red accented wheels that goes along with the rest of the car and matte black paint. This is the only matte paint job in the racing collection. Both side doors don't have windows as they open up. This is definitely my favourite car from the set. These five are the first Majorette cars in my collection, my wife saw me staring at them and ended up buying it for me and I'm thankful she did! 😄

The car is a very nice blue colour, it sports decals on the front and back. I think the addition of the sunroof is nice and I am a fan of the all black wheels. Speaking of wheels the car rolls really well.

Make ID MB1361
Make MatchBox
Casting 2022 Renault Twizy
Series MBX Metro
Year 2023
Notes

Base code is S16. An interesting car to see driving around in real life and an interesting car to have sitting on my desk as well. It's one of the first cars I picked up that restarted by car collection. It bothers me a bit that the size of this model doesn't sit well in regards to scale of other MatchBox cars (it's bigger), regardless it's nice to look at. It's also my cats favourite car to play with and push around so it's already gotten some scratches.


Make ID MB1249

Casting MBX Mini Cargo Truck
Series MBX Airways
Year 2023
Notes

Not my usual pick it was an interesting car to view so I picked it up. The decals are visible on the front sides and but not the rear.

Make MatchBox
Casting MBX Mini Cargo Truck
Series MBX Airways
Year 2023
Notes

The words on the side read 'We Treat Your Luggage As If It was Our Own!', if only every airlines did the same. Not a usual pick for me but it was one of the first cars I bought after restarting my collection and was still trying to find out what I wanted to collect


Make ID MB1251
Make MatchBox
Casting Road Stripe King
Series INC Construction
Year 2023
Notes

Not my usual pick, the windows are greyed out.


Picutre of Siku Postwagen model
Make ID 1085
Make Siku
Casting Postwagen
Series None
Year None
Notes

DHL logo, phone number, west and slogan on either side. Also comes with front and read light decals. Not a licensed vehicle make, although they do have a higher priced Mercedes-Benz Sprinter model on their site, but that isn't this. This is a very nice model though, with a lot of details in the casting. The interior is reused from another van as you can see the passenger seats in the back which a 'postwagen' wouldn't have.
