Collector and developer of Hot Wheels Collection Tracker. I catalogue castings, build the app, and write the guides that come out of the catalogue.

What I work on

I keep the catalogue behind the model pages: the 62,000 castings, their specifications and the fields that tell one release from another. I also write the guides, which exist because the catalogue can answer questions that general articles cannot — how many models actually carry a readable base code, how many Treasure Hunts were made in a given year, which castings keep coming back.

How the guides are made

Every guide on this site is generated from a query against the catalogue, and each one states the date its data was read. If a figure looks wrong, it can be checked: open the casting in the catalogue and compare the fields. That is the whole method — no anonymous sources, no numbers without a query behind them.

Guides

• Hot Wheels date codes and base codes: how to read the base
• Treasure Hunt vs Super Treasure Hunt: the difference, measured
• Fast & Furious Mix 1 (2027): the five cars, car by car
