PostHeaderIcon Vintage Hot Wheels

Hot Wheels is a brand of die cast toy car, introduced by American toymaker Mattel in 1968. It was the primary competitor of Johnny Lightning and Matchbox until 1996, when Mattel acquired rights to the Matchbox brand from Tyco.

The original, and now famous, Hot Wheels logo was designed by California artist Rick Irons, who at that time worked for Mattel.

Models

Hot Wheels are die-cast model vehicles manufactured by Mattel and were introduced in 1968. Originally the cars and trucks were manufactured to approximately 1:64 scale and designed to be used on associated Hot Wheels track sets, but by 1970 a series of 1:43 scale 'Gran Toros' were introduced and more recently a range of highly detailed adult collector vehicles, including replicas of Formula One and NASCAR cars, have found success. However the brand remains most famous for the small scale free-rolling models of custom hot rods and muscle cars it has produced since the range first appeared. Today, there are roughly 10,000 different models of Hot Wheel Cars.

The Hot Wheels product line has also included various tracks, accessories, and other kinds of vehicles such as 'Sizzlers' rechargeable electric cars, 'Hot Line' trains, 'R-R-Rumblers' motorcycles and 'Hot Birds' airplanes.

This was not at all what I thought it would be. Bought for a cat toy. Worked about 5 minutes and hasn't worked since. Don't waste money on this product.

The Happy Hamster Wheel Runner was a Christmas toy that arrived broken, and in all the chaos of four grandkids opening gifts on Christmas Day, the box unfortunately was thrown out. Grandpa tried to soder the broken wires but was unsuccessful, so we never even got to try the happy little hamster on his wheel! We also couldn't send the happy little thing back for refund because we had tossed out the box! Better luck next time!

I bought 4 of these hamster toys for Christmas presents. My son received one and is pretty rough with it and it's still holding up great! It's like having a pet without the mess and loads of fun. My son is 19 months old so he only gets to play with it when I'm watching but again, he throws it around, etc. and it's very durable!!!

Purchased as a Christmas gift for young boy. He was so excited when he opened it he ignored all the other gifts. What cheap entertainment!! Well worth the money.

My daughters were asking for 'Zhu Zhu Pets' for Christmas and I wasn't going to pay higher than MSRP, so this made a great substitute and they were very happy. Be careful if your child has long hair; it will get stuck in the wheels if they get too close.

GE 15707 Incandescent Plant Light GE 15707 Incandescent Plant Light

During the winter, the plants don't receive enough sunlight. I wanted my plants to remain healthy during that time so I decided to purchase the light. I keep it on for aproximately 6-8 hours a day to maintain a healthy root system for the plants and so far it is working.

Purchased this light for one of my plants that I put in a dark corner. Hung the light on the wall, which is not noticeable, ran the light a couple of hours a day, the plant is doing better than the same plant that gets sunlight for eight hours a day. Best plant light I have to date.

I purchased this light because my home does not get any light and I received a plant from a funeral which I wanted to keep. As it turns out, the plant doesn't need much light. It's doing good on it's own so I don't use the light.

I have been looking in the stores for two years for these to replace the ones that i have had for eight years. Great product.

Reviews

I bought two units for my 6 and 4 year old boys and they love the radio. It has certianly helped us from calling them over 10 times in the mornning to get up and get ready for school. The radio is loud and clear and the easily picks up radio the most common radio stations. The volume is very high and that helps alot. I also like the night light althought it could be a little brighter. In any case, this is a very good unit for kids. I recommend it.

I bought this for my grandson's 8th birthday. He loves hot wheels and he LOVES this alarm clock. He likes that it's digital,so he knows the exact time. He really likes the screeching wheels alarm sound. I think most young boys would think this is a great way to wake up. Grandma of 14.

When my grandson opened his birthday present, he was so excited and so thrilled. He wanted is very own alarm clock and radio, and this just made his day. He wanted to be able to use it to get up on his own in the mornings. He's 6 years old, and to see his face was priceless. I got a kick out of the alarm; it's pretty cute. It sure would get me out of bed too. It's easy to use and he was able to use it too. We have to help him set the alarm, but it's easy otherwise. The radio has good sound clarity, and the nightlight isn't too bright. It's unusual and a great idea! I'm glad I found it for him!

Well, I actually posted a +ve review earlier about my purchase regarding this Hot Wheels Radio clock. I don't know why Amazon is asking me again to do it. This time I'll kep it short. It was a great buy. Highly Recommended

We purchased this for our son's 7th birthday and he loved it. Six months later and he has had no problems with it. One of the best features, is the volume of the alarm can be customized. He likes it as loud as it will go and it is LOUD! It easily awakens me in our downstairs bedroom. If I sleep through my alarm, guaranteed I will be peeling myself off the ceiling! Operation is very simple and he sets it himself. Great choice for the car crazy little guy.

My 5-year old boy has watched this DVD every day since receiving it on Christmas. If you're boy is into Hot Wheels, this is a must have DVD.

Ordered without issue, received in good condition and played just fine in DVD Player. I'd order from them again.

My son loves his Hot Wheels Stunt Track Challenge PC game. He's been collecting Hot Wheels cars. Then we discovered Hot Wheels Dot Com. We have found these resources to be exciting, age appropriate, and very well done. Then we rented an Acceleracers DVD. My son was blown away by the story and, of course, all the action. My wife and I were surprised to find the plot intriguing. Since then we bought all of the Acceleracers DVDs. They are great family fun and, in particular, our 6 year old son LOVES them. The Hot Wheels people have created a high quality video series that the whole family can enjoy. AAA Recommended. JKT

MY NEPHEW WAS 4 WHEN WE 1ST WATCHED THIS MOVIE TOGETHER, HIS EYES WERE GLUED TO THE THE TUBE AS THESE CARS WERE ZOOMING AROUND. IM NOT SURE HE CARED ALOT ABOUT THE PLOT. HE CERTAINLY LOVES HOTWHEELS CARS AND THIS MOVIE HAS BEEN VIEWED SEVERAL TIMES BY HIM. HES MY LITTLE EXPERT ON KIDS STUFF AND THIS MOVIE HE LIKED QUITE ABIT. I SEEN THE OTHER HOT WHEELS MOVIES THIS ONE CERTAINLY WAS THE BEST ONE. IT HAS ALOT OF HIGH SPEED ACTION THAT I MUST ADMIT LOOKED PRETTY GOOD TO ME AS WELL. THAN AGAIN I HAD HOTWHEELS TOO AS A KID :)

Our grandson watches this movie continusly We really like it to. I think any one that likes cars will like this one.

Reviews

My son is 10 years old and has owned and loved Hot Wheels since he was a year old. He loved the Acceleracer series and he LOVES the Battle Force Five series. The Hot Wheels series is a good show - certainly a lot better than some of the cartoons that are out there today that are totally off the wall. Thanks Hot Wheels!!!

My boys are 2 and 7 and they are both Hot Wheels fanatics! They love the cars, the tracks, the clothing, anything they can get their hands on. Everyone in our family loves the Acceleracers Hot Wheels movies, and the Battle Force 6 series is another winner. We don't have Cartoon Network, so we learned of the show when my son received the first episode with a toy car. He loved it and watched it over and over. I was so excited when I heard that more episodes were available on DVD and we all love these as well! Great characters, cool cars, exciting adventures!

My grandson absolutely loves Hot Wheels. It started when we found the Acceleracers but when they came out with Battle Force 5, it was even better. Now he can watch episodes all the time and he does have his fave's. I actually love them too.

My son LOVES all these episodes- we have them all saved on our DVR- I am so glad they are coming out on DVD I can't wait to get them all. He watches them everyday and they are good enough for my husband and I to get into them too.

Bought this for my boys for their birthdays (ages 8 & 5) & they love every one of the movies; they've watched them several times each! If your child loves Hot Wheels, they'll love this box set. A great value, too.

I bought this set for my 5 year old son 2 years ago for Christmas. I have 4 boys ages 5-11 and they all still watch them after two years (WAY more than any other movies we own). I only wish I could find another collection they loved this much. I honestly cannot believe these dvd's are not worn out from how much they have been played. I cannot imagine a boy not loving these movies.

Grew up with Hotwheels and even though I purchased the box set for my son, I enjoy watching just as much as he does. Good story lines, cool cars, and the concept of the racing realms all fit together. DVDs come with extras that add to stories and characters. Still a fan...

The seriers is great. My son loves them and has finally seen the whole set. But when it came time for the extras...it wasn't compatable with my brand new computer. It needs some sort of decoder to access the rest of the special features so it's a little dissapointing. Other than that the set is great.

What a great purchase for the money! I sure wish I would've purchased this sooner! My seven year old son and five year old daughter can't get enough. They both get down on the floor and act out the scenes with their Hot Wheels while watching the movie. The hours of entertainment is priceless. I definitely would recommend this boxed set.

My hotflashes and night sweats were so bad, that they were actually debilitating. I started doing some research and the black cohash seemed to be a common recommendation. I went to the Whole Foods market and this product was suggested to me. It had the black cohash as well as some other healthy ingredients. It took a week to start working but it was so worth it, after about 3 days I noticed the hot flashes were starting to be less frequent, but I still had the night sweats, after 7 days the hot flashes dissapeared and I had a couple of night sweats, its been over 3 weeks now, and I feel so good, no hot flashes or night sweats. I even cut back on the dosage originally it was 2 a day,(they are nice small gel caps) but now I just take one a day and I still get the same results. The price on Amazon is terrific. I paid over $20.00 for a 30 day supply at Whole foods, but on Amazon I got a 3 month supply for only a couple of dollars more. Highly recommend.

After taking these a few day I noticed a reduction in hot flashes, felt better overall. Great product!

Estroton, Supercritical Hormonal Balance, is a wonderful product. There are no hormones in it, just vitimins and herbs to help a woman's body get in balance naturally. I have only been taking them for 2-1/2 months and I have found three significant improvements. I am 47 and my cycles had become sparse and random. I have had two cycles now that make me think that my hormones are getting in balance. Also my labido and sex desire (which are two different things, I found out) increased after about a month and has continued to keep me desiring sexual activity 2 to 4 times per week. The most bizarre change is my breast enhancement. I have been a 34-barely A for at least 20 years. In the past two months, I have grown to a 36-B (which was my size before I had children). Anyway, I hope to keep taking Estrotone until I die! (In addition to taking Estrotone, I exercise regularly and drink a lot of water, which I believe helps the Estrotone to move through my body more efficiently.)

I purchased this radio/CD player for a delightfully intelligent four year old boy. He loves it and protects it from his younger brothers. He listens to music and stories on CD and can tune into acceptable radio stations. His mother is also very pleased with the product. Be aware, though, the item is too large and heavy for a small child to carry around. Until a child is about eight years old, this item is better left on a shelf or carried by an adult. The batteries last longer than I expected them to. It can also be used on a special cord plugged into the cigarette ligher/electronics port in a car. The special cord must be purchased separately.

to whomever, I received a defective HW Hotwheels Boombox and had to send it back. The replacement was defective but better than the original. I was outraged when I had to pay the return postage before I could close the deal. The postage was $13.50. To send the second boom box back would have cost me an additional $13.50. I'll never deal with that company again. Am I wrong in assuming that I was not obligated to pay the return postage? Regards. Joe Chilbert

My son loves his new hot wheels radio that he is in his room all day listening to it!

This Emerson Hot Wheel Boombox is great in looks and sound. Love those subwoofer speakers! This will be a collectors item in the future. Twist the ENGINE START key and a voice will announce phrases,to start your day at the races. Anyone who is into CARS or RACING will love this boombox. AC or battery operation. AM-FM radio and CD. Got it at a great price on Amazon.com.

I gave this to my grandson for his 5th birthday. He LOVED it. It was easy for him to operate and it is just as cute as can be. We put it on the nightstand that night and he stayed awake all night "looking at it". It was his favorite gift. The perfect boy gift...for boys of all ages that love music and hotrods.

My 7 year-old boy loves to play this game. He gets excited with every new level he reaches. He comes running into the next room to tell us what he just accomplished.

I'm 9 & I love this game so much . Once I start I can't stop. So many cars. So many weapons BOOM!! You can choose LOTS of tracks with 4 zones. #1 Bedroom #2 Minigolf #3 Attic #4 Bowling alley WOW!!

The Easter Bunny brought this game and I have an extremely disappointed son. Our video card apparently doesn't support Pixel Shader 2.0, and it won't even try to install :( I can't fairly rate how fun it is since we cannot install it. I wish the requirements had been more descriptive.

I really enjoy playing this game. There are many different Hot Wheels cars to use and many different events and tracks. Graphics are also a plus. Worth the money!

My 5 and 6 year old love this game. They have unlocked a lot of the unlockables and can also play head to head. No real violence is included (they can "shoot" stuff at other cars, but they just bounce around). I have played it with the kids and it is fun. It is not too easy for an adult, as evidenced by the fact that I have been gaming for 20 some odd years and I need to build up some skill to compete with them. For what it's worth, Mario Kart Wii was reported as one of the best games for the Wii. My kids play this far more than that.
