The Hot Wheels 2023 P case is in and brings with it some new colors and styles that fans will enjoy. Lets go through some of the highlights:

• The 82′ Cadillac Seville is back but this time in a two tone blue colorway. We really enjoyed this casting in previous cases. While this color isn’t as simple and classy the pop of blue makes the car stand out from the crowd.
• Your regular Treasure Hunt for this case is the 2020 RAM Rebel. This is not a casting we see often but typically doesn’t stay on pegs long. The Coast Patrol graphics and vibrant red and yellow paint make this truck an excellent addition to the HW Rescue line.
• Your potential Super Treasure Hunt for the P case is the Datsun Bluebird 510 Wagon. The regular version pictured comes in a purple paint scheme with hits of white throughout. The Super version will come in Spectraflame Magenta paint and maintain the white graphics throughout. Another notable change, the Super variant of this car gives us white rims with a pink outline that make the car reminiscent of some original Red Line cars.
• The Jeep Scrambler comes in a tan base with similar colored tires. The addition of some small sand decals and the number 083 decal make this car look like its come right out of a Baja competition.
• Finally, the Ford F-150 Lightning Custom comes through with its massive front splitter and chrome accents. The lowered stance and roof scoop on the truck add to this trucks high-speed theme. The only thing we aren’t sure of is the all chrome interior that is visible through the completely clear windows.

Rounding up the P case are a few recolors of some cool cars

• The Subaru WRX STI makes a return in a dark grey paint with a mint graphic down the side. The gold rims help to tie this car together.
• The ’92 Dodge Viper RT/10 shows up in an all red paint scheme that is a classic look on this car. The decision the leave off the roof on this car helps give the car some nice summer vibes.
• The new Tesla Roadster hits the stage in a bright orange paint that compliments its “Then and Now” counterpart from previous cases.
• The new colorway of the Hummer EV takes “going green” to the next level. The all green paint scheme on this monster makes us think of “The Hulk”. The color is a nice change of pace and we are sure fans of the Hummer brand will enjoy it as well.
• Lastly,  we have the ’69 Dodge Challenger 500 that is also from the “Then and Now” series. It mimics the look of the Charger Hellcat from the previous case, and the bronze and purple combo looks just as good on this casting.

Overall,  the Hot Wheels P Case gives a few things to look for without overloading us. Here are the cars to look for from an investment stand point.

• The Datsun Wagon in its Super Variant will be a massive hit and though some listings are around $200 we expect the price to come down slightly.
• The regular Treasure Hunt RAM Rebel will also be a good pick up. Its rarity and the desirability of this casting will help push its value. Expect these to sell for around $10
• Cars like the Cadillac Seville and Dodge Viper will be sought after by fans and could have a small return on investment.

The 2023 Hot Wheels N case has arrived and it’s time for a review! The first highlight we have is a Corvette C7 Z06 Convertible in a metallic bronze that is sure to get Chevy fans excited. Next, and sticking with the Chevy theme, we have a custom ’68 Camaro that loos like it’s straight out of Mad Max. The custom hood, front splitter, and headlights make the car ready for the post-apocalypse and we love it! Your Super for this case, and a car that is going to be on a lot of peoples’ lists is the Porsche 935. This car looks great and in Spectraflame it’ll be amazing! We expect this car to do well and potentially hit the $100 mark. Next up we have a ’89 Mazda Rx-7 that our JDM fans will enjoy. The car looks great and goes to show that sometimes less is more. It’s clean without going over the top. Finally, we have a Land Rover Defender decked out in all black which always looks good.

The rest of the N case has a few gems that aren’t just carried over from previous cases. The Bugatti Bolide comes in with a French Blue and Black paint scheme that make it very recognizable as part of the Bugatti brand. The Ford Bronco R is prepared to take on some dunes as Mattel did a great job making this car look Baja ready! Next up is a recolor of the Honda CR-X with multiple tones on blue. This car looks good and is definitely giving off 80’s vibes. Back to the off-road vibes, the Porsche 928S Safari has an awesome rally look that we don’t typically see from this brand. This change of pace works and the details help out too. From an abundance of decals to the spare tire visible through the back, this car really packs a punch. Finally we have a 2020 Dodge Challenger Hellcat that our Mopar fans will enjoy. The Purple paint looks good but I especially love the small details of the car. The gold Hellcat emblem on the side looks great for being on such a small car. Overall the Hot Wheels N case may not have as many new cars, but there’s a lot to be excited about!

From an investment stand point there’s a few cars to look for. The Porsche 935 in Super form is obviously a great find, but even in the normal mainline version this car is a good grab. The Mazda RX-7 and Honda CR-X are great as JDM fans will definitely be looking for these cars. The Land Rover Defender and Corvette C7 are great cars that fans of these cars will be on the hunt for. Finally, the regular Treasure Hunt VW Golf could have some potential though the toon’d version of cars can be hit or miss. The Porsche 935 will offer your best return on investment if you’re fortunate enough to find it hanging on the pegs. The CR-X, RX-7, Corvette, and Land Rover will be decent profit or good for trades later on when they disappear from shelves. The toon’d Golf is your Treasure Hunt so even if it wouldn’t normally move off shelves quickly its rarity will absolutely help this car out.

The 2023 Hot Wheels L Case is here and we break it down for you.  We’ll start with the New Models and New to Mainlines for this case.  Being from the Fast & Furious franchise, the Tooned version of Brian O’Conner’s ’94 Toyota Supra from the original movie may be the most popular release of this mix.  The Trouble Decker is a Fraser Campbell design and is a hot-rodded version of a London Double Decker bus.  The ’65 Mercury Comet Cyclone is not entirely a New Model but it is appearing in the Mainlines for the first time and it’s also used as the Super Treasure Hunt for this mix.  Volkswagen fans are going to be excited to get their hands on the Volkswagen ID. Buzz.  Another collector favorite is the Alfa Romeo GTV6 3.0 from the Retro Racers series which is also debuting the 4SP wheel variation.  

Rounding out the rest of the case are some vehicles making their first 2023 Mainline appearance and others showing up again as recolors.  The Madfast is the regular Treasure Hunt for this case.  Other highlights include the ’07 Ford Mustang featuring a Falken livery, the Toyota Land Cruiser 80, an orange recolor of the ’73 Honda Civic Custom, and a blue recolor of the DMC Delorean.  The white version of the 1989 Batman Batmobile from the recent The Flash movie is another favorite and one of the best-looking Batmobiles, in my opinion.  

From an investment perspective, that Supra is one to hang on to.  Right now it’s been going for $20 or more on Ebay.  That will surely drop as they become more plentiful on the pegs, but don’t expect them to stay on the pegs for long.  As they dry up on the pegs, expect to see their secondary value start to rise again.  The Mercury Comet Cyclone Super Treasure Hunt will be another one that will command a premium on the secondary market.  It has recently been trading for $100-$150 on the secondary market.  I expect this one, too, will drop some as it becomes more plentiful but it will be popular with both gasser and muscle car collectors.
