More photographs, updated prices, added information - collectors will be racing to tear into the new edition of this best-selling title! For most, when receiving a new toy, half the fun is ripping open the package and playing with it. However, the growing appeal toward the line of Hot Wheels[registered] Collector Number Packs - a numbered line of cars distributed by Mattel with slight variations, where the colour, wheel, interior or window might have been altered - is them remaining in the original packaging. Author and Hot Wheels[registered] collector, Michael Zarnock expands coverage of the most comprehensive identification and price guide available to include variations found in blister packages from 1989-2002. More than 2,500 cars and their variations are listed and nearly 2,500 are pictured in clear, large full-colour photographs. Plus, readers can now step behind the scenes with exclusive information from Mattel on how these cars are created.
