One Hit Wonders: 10 Must-Have Hot Wheels Castings that were only used once. 

Loved this viewer request! This is Part 1 of 3! Which models do you want?

I have the TT RS from Speed Machines, another one and done casting. I had the orange one growing up, lost that one. I later found a mint silver one at a flea market last summer for $2. Quite a steal considering how much they go for these days.

I got the MC12 both FTE and First variation 10 spokes and I got the Hot Wheels Elite 1/18. I also have 2 Quattroportes . The MC-12 is my favorite car of all time so I'm very grateful to have it in a model format

Love it. The vector was all over car magazines when I was a kid just getting into hot wheels. It was the future of supercars and it never came to fruition. Would love to see it come back… While it would look great in the way it would look wicked in black

There are many Hollywood based castings that we'll probably never see in any other forms (Simpsons cars, 101 Dalmations, Jetsons, red Grease Lightning car, etc) . There are many 70's and 80's castings also that were done 1 time in 1 color and never returned again. Hopefully you touch on some of those

that TTRS casting is epic，so sad didn't buy one 7 years ago，wish it could be released one day in the current premium series

My all time favorite video of yours was the original version of this. Vector W8* has always been one of my favorite cars IRL and I'm glad to own the Hot Wheels version. One-and-dones (or two-and-dones) are some of the coolest to have to have in a collection, I usually deliberately go after them for that very reason. DB4 Zagato, LaFerrari*, MC12*, NFS Mustang*, Audi TTS, Murcielago SV*, 250 California, Mini Countryman, Mustang II, Vector M12*... the list just goes on and on. It's truly baffling considering some of these castings are superb and licensing in theory shouldn't inhibit newer releases. ("*" means I have it)

Nissan Skyline Silhouette R30 was also a one-hit wonder.

The yellow Mustang II you have shown is based on real show cars called the "Munroe Handlers. 6 custcom cars were built in a joint venture between Monroe shocks & Hot Rod Magazine . Car Craft was also involved in the builds which were body kits added to the Mustang II's . Revell Models also made model kits of this custom car

I actually got the quattroporte when I was a kid and always loved the clean look of it, never found the MC-12 in the wild tho, gonna look for one on Ebay eventually...

I try to collect as many different licensed cars as I can. Love to have assortments of cars from all manufacturers. I saw the quadttroporte at a hot wheels toy show in my town and wanted it. I never knew it was a once and done! So glad I picked it up! The MC12 is still one of my favorite real cars but can’t see spending so much on a HW. Hopefully I’ll get lucky at another show sometimes.

One hit wonders that I want back Mercedes 300td Nissan R30 Super Silhouette James Bond Lotus Esprit Submarine Peugeot 206 1991 Holden Commodore Nissan Vision 2020 Jaguar I Pace E Trophy

I, for one, WOULD like to see the Mustang II in a second release; personally, I'd like to see it done in a similar "ugly car" paint job, maybe the reddish-orange of the center stripe as the base color with the bold yellow of the base color on this model as the two outside stripes, then the center stripe done in maybe a forest green. I personally have what I strongly suspect to be a one-and-done mainline casting in my collection, and if any of you have information to the contrary, then PLEASE tell me! It's a variant casting of the Chevy Stocker with small rear wheel wells and cast-in doors, and as far as I know, it's only ever been released in white with indigo, red, and silver tampos decorated as a Huffman Racing no 1 car. They later released the IROC Firebird in an adapted version of the same paint scheme, but I personally like how they executed that scheme on the modified Chevy Stocker better. If it truly is a one-and-done casting (and the unmodified Chevy Stocker casting did appear for a while after in both the original and Track Stars toolings, so it can't be a licensing issue, can it?) then I would REALLY like to see a return of this casting for just one more run - maybe they could do another run of their "The Lost Cars of China" series with it in it, or maybe a "The Lost Cars of Malaysia" or "... of Thailand", depending on where it was manufactured (not going downstairs to look at it just to finish this post lol).

I really hope the Bad Mudder is featured here... A shame that was only available for 1998.

Great topic!! Love seeing these 1 off's. My favorites are the Vector the Mustang II and the Nova, even tho its a little off looking.

loving these series....keep up the good work!

i have the MC12, but of course my kid-self also thought it was really cool and played with it a lot. its pretty beat up haha

This was fun! Looking forward to part 2 and 3!

Man I absolutely love these kinda videos! Really looking forward to part 2 and 3! Also that dream customs mat is epic for a car show!! Really wish I could come to that and snag one!

Some very interesting models. The outside setting and natural light really enhanced the vehicles. Thanks for video.

Very cool video. Some of these I knew about and some I didn't. As always, thanks for taking the time out to share with us!

Nice showcase, interesting theme. The Maseratis actually got me into peghunting and I still have that Quattroporte, never got my hands on the MC12, would love to though. The Lincoln and Mustang II are very cool tidbits of automotive history that I wouldn't mind adding to my collection. Happy I have the Vector, would love to find the M12 version in lilac from the mainline to compliment it. The TT-S is interesting but I'm rather content with the MBX mainline TT-RS 3rd gen, great cast! Looking forward to the 2 other parts 👍👍

Fat Bax Corvette!! Total one and done material, but still fits in with my Vette collection!!!

Great video subject! Love a bit of HW history!

there's surprisingly a lot of unknown hotwheels casting until today. thank you for sharing!

Love this series! Tough call. I like them all. That Ferrari, the Vector is awesome, and I admit I really want the TTS!

That Quattroporte was my second ever ostensibly 'good' model (the code my dad and I used for castings based on real motors with printed lights). As a result of unboxing it at age four it's seen quite the beating but never left my carry cases. At 22 with nearly 300 cars to my collection of 'good models', it's so nice to see something here that was pivotal in kickstarting a near life-long hobby in it's pristine glory!

Nice video, a great topic, I have the basic mc12,quatrroporte (a terrific casting), vector one of the porsches,blue and bronze TTS also a terrific casting, can't wait to see the next two videos, thankyou ,cheers mate

Love the once and done video! More please!

The Vector V8 is something else! Imagine driving that for real. The windshield is massive, along with a glass canopy it'd be like a fighter jets cockpit.

Very nice collection of rare castings. If I hadn’t watched this video, I probably wouldn’t believe some of them ever existed. Thanks.

The '86 pro stock thunderbird is a good one for this, even though there are 2 we havent seen that casting since flying colors in 2012 i believe. I always thought it was a great car and not well known either

I'm lucky to have the Vector in my collection. It's sitting on a shelf with the rest of my loose rare/special cars

I found a mint condition Vector (as well as a Boulevard F40) for $3 a piece at a flea market a few months ago, easily one of my favorite castings!

I've always loved that Vector. I've had mine since its retail release. Just recently I found one at a toy show for $2!!!! He sold me a few Speed Machines for $2 each as well (a black and an orange R35 GT-R!!!). I couldn't get the cash out fast enough. I hadn't seen another W8 in person since I bought mine all those years ago. I have the MC-12 as well, but we really need some kind of premium supercar series that features cars like the Maserati. Time to hunt down the Plymouth Belvedere GTX...I can't believe I don't have one.

I think one that should be mentioned was the Skyline R30 Silhouette. Very nice piece. If we're talking about something more than just premiums, then I could say the Peugeot 206, which is the last Peugeot car in the entire Hot Wheels line since 2005. Another is a couple lines: The Zowees which are the original HW Micros back in the 70s, and Speed Racer. The latter costs a pretty penny for one of each.

Option "C" I want your collection! 🤣😏🤣 Regards from 🇲🇽 👋🏻

The Vector is definitely a must have 😁 Koenigsegg Agera R could’ve made it but then Mattel decided to bring it back with the proper real riders 😆👍🏻 This vid pushes me to accept my friend’s offer to take his blue TTRS 😊

This is why HW lost the Maserati license. Fiat-Chrysler, who already owned Ferrari, bought Maserati. After it was bought, Ferrari started producing the engines for Maserati. The Quattroporte and the MC12 use Ferrari engines and the MC12 actually shares the same chassis as the Ferrari Enzo. Since HW lost the Ferrari license, Maserati had to go along with it unfortunately.

Hi there. The 2 FORDS The Lincoln Futura & The Yellow FORD MUSTANG. The Chevrolet Nova in the chrome painted is a gem. 💎🚘🚗🚕🚖🚙

I have the Maserati Quattroporte and the Futura. I'd love to have the RLC RWB and the Plymouth Belvedere! Excited to see where this series goes.

I have soooo many of the red Vector W8 (about 15 of them) since they were at the dollar store and I just bought them all really cheap at the time. Love the Vector because I used to drive it in the Gran Turismo PlayStation game and I instantly knew what it was

I didn't got to have a boxed mc12 but got one pre loved boy is it a tremendously done cast!

6:13 I saw that one at an Antique shop! But I did not have the moneys 😢

The other interesting casting I hope gets shared is the SL55 amg from the summer racin set!

I have most of these except for the RLC RWB Porsche (since I can't afford RLC), the Modern Classics Chevy Nova (never saw in stores in Ottawa), and the silver Audi TTS (but I have the orange and blue ones). I think I only ever saw the You Only Live Twice 2000GT convertible in stores a single time, so I'm very glad I picked it up.

I think this is one of my favorite videos. You should do this but with the top 10 rarest and hardest to get from a specific genre in hotwheels.

I have two castings of the Vector W8 - one for both of my houses. They are also my rarest Hot Wheels cars.

The Vector of course. It's a no brainer. But the the Lincoln Futura is a nice surprise. I'd love to see that model again too.

I still miss all my toy cars I had when I was a little kid.i remember playing with them all day.

I’ve got the matte black RWB, would love the purple TT. Those Audi are a pretty nice casting. And I mean, Ferris’s rari!

You are really creative with your presentations I only collect license castings also but my son's collect fantasy very interesting 🤔 one time wonders. Just loving it 🤠

Got the Qiuattroporte when new and got the MC12 in a bundle of 2nd hand stuff earlier this year, both really nice castings, surprised that they're as rare as that

I have that exact MC12 car! Back then Maserati had some awesome looking cars and I was lucky to get it since I thought it looked so cool and Project Gotham 3 made me love it with how fast it was and how menacing it's engine sounded. Shame it was only around for a brief time in the mid 2000s but I'm hanging on to mine

The one that got released, then disappeared rapidly,was the WRC Mini Countryman rally car. Was in white/red then white/dark green, then vanished. I bought both of those Mazzers out when new. Love the MC12 (Ferrari Enzo cousin) and actually had TWO of the Quattroporte (it's quattro-por-tay BTW) and I loved the combination of metallic denim blue with that dark tan interior. A very very under appreciated car both in 1/64 but in real life too.

Cool shoutout to Doug!!! I love that guy. 😬😬😬

That nova is sweet.and the vector looks so much like the kit concept car that just came out the whole back of the casting is the vector.

The Quattroporte is pronounced with a "tay" sound at the end. That's how it was when I started leaning Italian years ago. And yeah, at one point I had more Quattroportes than I knew what to do with, and both the MC12's in the white/blue two-tone and the Mystery model in the blue recolor. Not trying to brag, but I was smart enough to not only snag one, but two of the Californias right before Ferrari abandoned ship.

I have the two Masers, and I'd like to see more of these one, and done features!

Very interesting 🤔 just loving it 🤠

The Mustang 2 with a Ken Block / Hoonigan design would be an absolute banger

Luckily we have the newest Audi TT as a Matchbox Model which I bought recently but all of those are awesome great video!

I have to admit, I'm a closet Mustang II fan. Had a friend that had one back in the late 80's that was a coupe with a 302 under the hood. All stock. It was quick enough for what it was and kinda surprised a few people. With a few basic mods, I think it could've been so much better.

Wow this is so good

This is a great series! I haven't seen the Mercedes CL55 from Team Baurtwell mentioned.

Can't believe how much the Vector went up, I had a loose one a long time ago, and I struggled to get 10 for it at any of the shows near me.

This is a great idea. I can’t wait till the next one. I don’t have any of these cars..

I have the Toyota GT2000 and the Maserati MC12 and I’d love to get the Ferrari and the Vector. I’ve only seen one Vector in person at a Concours. It is such a unique vehicle. Anywho, looking forward to the next video! Cheers Doc

I’m so glad that the Agera doesn’t qualify anymore. I’d been trying to get one for years before they announced that it was coming back. Truly a euphoric moment to open the package that contained my grail.

I liked the Lincoln concept and the speed machines. I also happen to have that exact Maserati found at a goodwill in good condition. I wan't to know of the 2002 Saturn Ion

good series. 👍

I have the Monroe Handler Mustang II. I do wish they did more with that casting. I've seen a few folks do customs off of it. There are very cool ideas out there for that car.

Really nice footage, impressive collection 🤩 i sub to your channel, waiting for your upcoming videos 😁

I love that 87 mustang with the fox body is tight 😍 👌 ❤ 💙 ♥ 😋 😍 👌 ❤ °°°°¿¿ " All of these cars would be awesome sitting on my shelf!!!" Lol God is good all the time!! God bless you all today 🙏 Shalom

I have both Maserattis in my collection and I really liked them because I think they were part of the Realistix theme. Some one and done cars in my collection that I love are the Alfa Romeo Prototipo B.A.T 9

There were a lot of castings from the entertainment series that were also done only exclusively to the lines back between 2012 and 2015.

Man that Vector W8 was such a cool looking car, I remember using it all the time in gran turismo 2. The 2000GT and Lincoln Futura are nice too. Apparently George Barris bought the original off Lincoln for a dollar.

I think one reason the Vector never came back is on top of licensing being an issue like you said, their founder Gerald Wiegart passed within the last few years and the company has kinda dipped in and out of existence since the late 90s. A one and done model I'd love to see come back is the Alfa Romeo BAT 9 as well as the Mercedes 300d Wagon from the 90s, although we're getting the AMG wagon soon so ill take that instead.

That RWB is incredible

Great choices John definitely forgotten models or we haven’t seen them again

It would be nice to see either Vector casting come back, I have both. I haven't seen the Isuzu Vehicross either.

The Bad Mudder from 1998’s mainline. Definitely a one year wonder.

The Retro Entertainment series seemingly is endless. Never knew they did Tommy Boy, only found out in the last 6 months about Snowman's rig from Smokey and The Bandit.. Crazy world out there. I'm happy to have nabbed the Boulevard Vector when it was new, along with the Mustang II and the Civic Si. The 2010's was a great time to be a collector between Classics, Vintage Racers, Modern Classics, Redlines, Cool Classics, The Hot Ones, Flying Customs..... Surprised you didn't make a nod towards the new KITT Concept clearly cribbing the lines of the Vector W8TT. You can't NOT see it. Speaking of seeing things, great theme! Can't wait for the next batch, hope you mention the "other" Superbird from the 100% line.

The one and done I'm kind of up set about is the Dark Gray Jeep Grand Cherokee from the Fast and Furious movie. To my knowledge they have not done another casting of it. When it came out I was sure we would see other colors and variations of it.

Love that gtx I wish they would bring it back I’d love to have one

Great video

Oh wow- that Vector & Audi TTRS tho

I have that nova, seen the Silverado and the blue fastback mustang at Mattel store in Chino at reservoir Avenue in 2010 or so. Only enough for one car that day, the nova. Wish it was the Silverado though. #1, pick is the vector for sure. Thanks

I'm from the UK and I'd love to see Monograms Exacts re-released? I have the Mustang, '57 Chevy, '90s Ford Thunderbird and the Pontiac Grand Prix. I think the TT-S looks great in the red. Hotwheels should bring back their old look wheels from the 80's...........? Purely from a nostalgic view. Greenlight seem to have the edge on Hotwheels with detail castings. Everyone gets nostalgic over 80's cars but the Vector W2 and W8 has the 80's vibe all in one.

I have a couple but I never grabbed the Plymouth form Tommy boy. There's some I may have but I grab so much I don't remember. Btw love the topic!

Awesome 😎

The first three cars you showed are the ones I like, after them nothing. I would like to know how to get those three cars. Thank you

Fox Body Mustangs 😍 😋 👌 ❤!!!!!"" Different castings and colors!!!!!!?? And paint Differences!!" That's my Take on it all!!?? Lol God bless you all today 🙏 Shalom

I think I actually have that Maserati Quattroporte in a bin somewhere. Of course I wish for Ferrari to come back. I love movie cars, and that 250 GT California is such an iconic car from one of my favorite movies.

i have allof them and the rims on that gtx is so so awesome...chrome nd shining and big and deep

Ooooh I wanna customize that Mustang 2!

The Tommy boy is my favorite by far., I would not mind having the TTRS.

I have see in online market there is lincoln futura from 30 pack series..it has purple color roof/win shield

Damn!! All of these were nice, don't know why they only appear once, hope they all come back some day, maybe in the mainline as well, who knows tbh, the Maserati's are nice, don't know why they didn't come back or why no one bought them all, hope you do more videos of these, showcase all the one hit wonders as well as all the castings that had retired, dropped off for some reason or for no reason, haven't appeared in a long time and so on, do some of the 2003 to 2006 castings, especially all those funky design cars with big wheels, sloped down back, big and fat back wheels, and so on, also all the normal castings from those years that haven't returned in years, maybe and hope they come back maybe recasted and updated in ways, maybe a new tag for these like "Revived and Recasted" kinda things, all the old Highway 35 stuff, Accelerators stuff, Hot 100 stuff and so on, also old movie themed vehicles like the Demolition Man vehicles from the 90's, so yeah

Nice haul bro
