Seeing people's interest in appreciating each other's hotwheels collection (one of only things I used to collect), I figured that we should have a place where we can post just that! Any post related to hotwheels is appreciated here; posting your collection is expected. The collection don't have to be anything crazy.

Be sure to post any related content about your collection like, date of purchase, its related history and if there are some special items in your collection (I know usually collection implies only rare things, but I don't care), be sure to tell us more about it!

If you are keen on buying some collectable and want advice from the adults, post your query here.

If you have a personal story related to hotwheels, be sure to post 'em too here.

Wow this is good. I see one Rocket League car as well!
the center ones are also Hot Wheels? they look slightly bigger than the rest.

Wait here's something I found interesting about this particular model (Twin Mill™ III); it was created in 2007; or so it says on the back of my particular model. So, that means that this model wasn't made exclusively for rocket league at all, since rocket league came out in 2015! Its just a repurpose by hotwheels to cater to a wider audience while not increasing the R&D/production cost by anything!
Or rather RocketLeague adding an already popular hotwheels model in its rooster of cars for both the mutual benefit of RocketLeague and Hotwheels.

This was the reason. You can buy Hot Wheels pack from Rocket League shop. And I think even Hot Wheels released Octane.
Same way they added Batman, Justice League, Fast and Furious and some more cars for promotion.

Not into RL, but used to have Hotwheels cars & 1 track set during school time. Not sure where those are anymore.
