The Hot Wheels 2024 E case has arrived and we have a review of it for you!

The first car we have to look at is a beautiful Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe in Gulf Livery. The car has some great details and sponsorships but it would’ve been amazing to see this get the Super Treasure Hunt treatment like the Glory Chaser from last year. The next car is your regular Treasure Hunt, the Batman Forever Batmobile! This car looks like Mr. Freeze got to it with icy blue rims and windows. The TH logo is actually featured on the far side of the car on the window. We used a flashlight to check it out as the blue reflects well. Overall, a great treasure hunt. Next up is our potential Super Treasure Hunt in the 60’s Fiat 5000 Modification. This car is packed full of Italian inspired racing livery and the exposed engine on the rear of the car is a great touch. The car looks much better in Spectraflame Gold, but even in yellow the car has a good vibe. The fourth car in our lineup is a new casting, the Cadillac Project GTP Hypercar. This car features a nice matte black paint and gold rims. It is exciting to see Hot Wheels branching off into these kinds of race vehicles. The final car in our first half of the review is the 91 Mazda MX-5 Miata. The chrome 5 spokes and red interior give this car a nice touch. The additional taillight details also make it better than the seafoam green Miata from earlier this year.

The first car in the 2nd half of our case review is the Pontiac Aztek. An odd choice of casting and we think this livery would look better on a myriad of other castings. However, amongst the icy blue paint and various parts sponsorships is an easter egg. If you take a peek at the back window of the SUV you will notice a hat and pair of glasses reminiscent of Heisenberg himself. Next up we have a ’57 chevy in a black and white lettering livery that we’ve seen on other castings in the past. This car looks great with white rims and white interior and is sure to be a hit with a variety of collectors. Sticking with the black and white theme we have a Mustang Funny Car from the Hot Wheels Art Car Series. The Dragon and flame on the side of the car look great and are reminiscent of tattoo art. The 4th car we have is another Art Car in the ’70 Dodge Charger R/T. This Charger also comes in a semi-familiar comic book style livery. The 2 colored tires work well with this car and the comic book livery isn’t completely over the top. The last car we will be looking at is the Custom ’72 Chevy Luv. This truck features lots of chrome on the rims, bumper, bed, and interior. The cutout in the hood and full Chevrolet lettering on the tailgate are great touches.

Overall the E case is decent for new cars. From an investment standpoint the best cars to look for will be the Fiat super and the Gulf Daytona. Also included are the civics and the Godzilla Skyline from the D case. Picking up these will be a good investment or possible trade bait.

The 2024 Hot Wheels D Case is here and we have a review of some of the highlights you should be looking for!

The Hot Wheels D case has a ton to offer! The first car on our list is the Nissan GT-R R33 featuring the Godzilla graphic! The car comes in a white paint scheme and while it would’ve been nice to see more detailing on the headlights, the Godzilla graphic and GT-R badge on the rear make up for it. Overall a great car and definitely going to be a hard car to pass on.

The next car on our list is the regular treasure hunt for the series, the Custom ’53 Chevy. This car features a nice lavender paint job with purple pinstripe detailing throughout. A treasure hunt flam can be seen toward the front of the vehicle. The purple windows and translucent purple hood are also great touches. A white top is the final detail that gives this car an awesome aesthetic. Don’t expect to see this car lying around as a peg warmer.

The third vehicle we have is the potential super for the case in the ’89 Mercedes 560. This car is complete with Headlight and taillight detailing. Mercedes, AMG, and 560 badging grace the rear as well. For a mainline this car checks a ton of boxes and looks great, but not quite as good as the Spectraflame Red Super variant. The spectra flame paint pops but the car maintains all the other details from its non super version. A treasure hunt logo is placed on the rear and the wheels are swapped for red 5 spokes. This car has all the makings of potential Super of the Year.

The final car for the first half of the D case is the ’92 Honda Civic EG. While the car is empty on the back, the headlight details, Honda graphics, and Kanji help push this car ahead of some others. Wheel choice is not the best here in our opinion, but with a wheels swap this car is going to be a great custom!

Continuing with some JDM cars, the second half of the case features another civic. The ’73 Honda Civic custom features a yellow paint job and some decent racing graphics from Motul and Bridgestone. This car is lacking a little on light details but the car has a good look to it and will be a good find.

Next, the Mazda RX-7 makes a return but this time features the Police and Kanji combo we’ve seen grace other JDM models. The gold rims on this car really help it stand out but other than that the car is pretty bland. Still a great car and casting.

Moving on to some American muscle we have the ’67 Camaro in a blueprint livery we have seen before. Personally, I think this car has been done really well. It wasn’t until I took a closer look that I noticed the 67 Camaro silhouette on the side of the car. The car also features a top down view of the front and rear of the car placed on the top of the hood. The car is done well and Camaro collectors will surely be looking for this car.

Another American vehicle comes in the D case. This time it’s the ’67 Chevy  C10. This truck is part of the Hot Wheels Art Cars series and features some interesting Hot Wheels graphics. The chrome grill looks good but the best feature has to be the wider rear tires that give this truck such an aggressive look.

The Final highlight of the D case is the Pagani Zonda R. The red paint looks nice partnered with some subtle gold pinstriping and gold rims. A Pagani logo is place on top of the spoiler. This car is simple and clean and will be a good pick up.

Overall the D Case has some nice cars worth picking up. From an investment perspective, the best cars to look out for are the Godzilla Skyline, Super and regular versions of the Mercedes 560, RX-7, C10, and Red EG Civic. These cars will offer your best return on investment. Expect to see the Super go for around $75 once they hit the market and prices settle. The Godzilla R33 has seen sales of nearly $30 but if you’re patient you can expect to pay around $5-10 for this car.
