| Welcome to KMJ DIECAST, home of Kirk, Melissa & Jon's Hot Wheels, our tiny spot in the endless thing we call Cyberspace. We hope you enjoy the following pages we created for all Hot Wheels Collectors here on Earth. We will be glad to answer any questions you may have about collecting, buying, selling, trading and/or racing Hot Wheels. Hot Wheels are made by Mattel. We are NOT affiliated at all with Mattel. We are humble collectors like you, and with the onslaught of the Internet into our lives, we have created this website for our fellow collectors. To share our knowledge and help enhance collecting. Let make it clear for the lawyers, we are NOT nor do we wish to be ENDORSED by Mattel. We are Hobby people. We buy, sell, trade, race and put on Hot Wheels Events for kids every week, donate our time and Hot Wheels to Children in need. If any of Mattel's logos appear on this site they DO NOT indicate an endorsement by Mattel, as if anyone except a legal beagle thought that it did. OK sorry about the rant, but I never thought Mattel would be so worried about us, if they looked on eBay on any giving day they would find many more misuses of their logo than on our site. Enough said. One day a toy compnay owner and a parent wondered why his kids were playing with toys made by another company. His company did not make the toys his kids were playing with, which was a Toy Car. His company advised him that the Toy Car market was locked up by Matchbox and Lensey mainly. But this parent wanted his kids to play with toy cars made by his company. In 1968 the first 16 Hot Wheels were released by Mattel and since then things have never been the same in the Toy Car world. Thanks to JC Pennys seeing that every boy loves a Toy Car they surpassed Mattel's expectations and helped create this great collectible. Then Hot Wheels made tracks unlike other Toy Cars and with the patented Wheel and Axle design they claimed then to be the fastest Toy Car in the World. This combination sold like gangbusters to kids everywhere. Hot Wheels was born right in the middle of the Muscle Car Era and they jumped in like gang busters. Quickly becoming sponsors of the Funny Car Drag Racing - National Hot Rod Association's "SNAKE" & "MONGOOSE"! After that Hot Wheels never looked back and have become the mainstay of toy cars for boys of all ages worldwide! This website will start out with information about the Mainline Vehicles being released each Year. We will work with the most recent Years first and go backwards. We will provided you with checklist and information about the vehicles as best as we can. Feel free to help us! Also the KMJ DIECAST links will take you to our online store where you buy Hot Wheels from our inventory of over 20,000 Hot Wheels! You will see these links all over our site, just click on them and another window will open and take you our online store! Again have fun checking out KMJDiecast.com and give us your suggestions and opinions concerning Hot Wheels Mainline Vehicles. We thank you for your time, Kirk, Melissa & Jon. God Bless America |
