And what a lineup it was. Hot Wheels chief designer Ronald Wong went to great lengths to ensure that we had some real treats to collect in 2025.

This year it’s official: Hot Wheels is delivering the first Ferrari models to the shops and they are proving very popular. Unfortunately a little too big for collectors, because the new mainline models in particular are a favourite with scalpers. Exactly the people who profit from the most popular Hot Wheels models. In other words: taking absolutely every model from the shop and offering it online at a higher price. As a result, many collectors like us are left empty-handed and find practically all the current mainline models on the shelves except for the Ferraris. This started with the SF90, the first mainline model from Hot Wheels, and continued with…
