23 New Hot Wheels Collectibles That Are Coming to a Store Near You

Most of my friends typically spend most of their non-essential budget on shoes, gadgets, alcohol, or weekend-long trips to different countries. I’ve never cared much about shoes, have most of the gadgets I wanted in the first place, only drink alcohol regularly, and have already visited over 30 countries in 30 years.
  

I still engage in plenty of window shopping, looking for my next motorcycle, car and parts for my RX-7. However, all those only require part of my time for now, as my current budget is now tied up with other priorities.

That means I only spend money on purchasing new scale model cars, and one of my local shops is currently running a 30% off on select Hot Wheels vehicles. I already missed out on the ’89 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC AMG due to constantly postponing the purchase.

I might as well dive in and secure the white Ferrari 250 GTO and a few other Premium collectibles I plan to use for my future unboxing stories.

That’s a topic for another time though, as right now I just want to get you up to speed with the new Hot Wheels collectibles that are coming to a store near you. Let’s get to it!

Multipack Exclusives

Given it has been around since the 2015 HW Workshop: HW Garage mini-series, I have bought and unboxed several variations (at least in the first few years of its “career”). It was part of last year’s Hybrid Energy Silver Series set, but it has been a common sight across various multipacks. I’m a fan of the new color, but would definitely paint the wheels white.

Despite its real world status, this collectible won’t be as desirable as the Porsche 934 Turbo RSR. Sure, this model might not be as popular as it was six to seven years ago. However, it feels to get another shot at it, as it was MIA both this year and in 2024. That Motul decal is bound to increase its appeal, just like the Michelin one on the Nissan Patrol Custom from next year’s Case C will.

Bryan Zhao’s BMW 635 Csi was off to a great start in last year’s Wild Widebody mini-collection, but sort of went downhill from there. I’m aware Mattel can’t give us an accurate replica of the Jagermeister livery, but that also means collectors who are looking for authenticity won’t bother buying it in the first place. Since I’ve began paying more attention to cleaner cars, I think this new variation will be the best one yet.

Tooned F1

It’s the same approach that we’ve seen for the Mainline series, where a different livery will lead the way without any chassis adjustments. While we’re used to seeing sets of five cars, you may have noticed Racing Culture and Team Transport have shifted towards four per mix and it’s the same for Tooned F1.

Given that there are only 11 teams on the grid, I imagine each new mix will have a repeat item. That means we’ll be getting four of them throughout the year, at least if the first one performs according to plan. Right off the bat, I expect Scuderia Ferrari HP to be the first one to vanish from the pegs, despite the team’s lack of results in recent decades.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team will probably come in P2, with Oracle Red Bull Racing and Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team in last. Of course, I might be wrong as the hype could ensure people will just buy the entire set thinking it will be worth more later down the road. Time will tell.

Neon Speeders

Jun Imai’s Volkswagen T2 Pickup is first in line (#1 of 8) and I like everything about it except for the “mandatory” NS6 wheels. If you’d rather go for the Spectraflame look, there are two previous variations of if to look for. The Porsche 917 LH is the other Euro car in the mix, and it too showed up in The Hot Ones before: earlier this year in Spectraflame Apple Green and in 2025 in Spectraflame Gold.

I think it’s time this race car got a new casting, too, just so it can be on the same page with the Porsche 917K. Moving over to Japan, we have three items on the list. Both the Honda S800 Racing and the Nissan Skyline H/T 2000GT-X feel like ancient history. And I’m honestly surprised to get another Miata as last year’s Mix 2 featured the 2004 Mazda Mazdaspeed Miata.

The ‘91 has had a few good moments so far, including its Modern Classics variation and the Japanese Car Culture Themed Multipack model I unboxed not long ago. As we head on over to the USA, we’re also going on a trip down memory lane to the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. The ’71 Dodge Charger is the interesting option in my case, and I will most definitely skip the pink Javelin and the green Corvette.

Team Transport

The Lamley Group recently posted a sneak peak preview of what coming up after those two mixes, and I haven’t seen photos of these models anywhere else yet. While I ignored the First Edition release of the 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe, this new IWC-themed livery is quite spectacular (and nostalgic) and the matching-colored trailer is my only complaint. The Rally Hauler is definitely turning up the heat for its seventh variation, even though it’s rolling on the same 8-spoke wheels as always.

The Honda S2000 will be my priority though, as I’ve never seen a more spectacular take on Ryu Asada’s casting. Mixing in that carbon fiber finish with he orange paint job and the Enkei-inspired wheels makes for an impressive result and I want it asap. Even the Aero Lift feels exciting as painted wheels are becoming standard in Team Transport. I’m not that interested in the all-American Team in this mix, mainly because of the hauler.

Also, one variation of the ’69 Ford Torino Talladega is enough for me, thank you very much! The Porsche 917K is back for its second iteration ever, sporting an iconic blue and white paintjob. I just received my First Edition release a little while ago, so I’ll refrain from saying anything about it until I take it out of the blister card. Wouldn’t it have been amazing if it had the same opening feature as the Mazda 787B does? I still have more Hot Wheels news to share, and I’ll be back with the info soon!
