Customer Reviews

fun book

This was purchased for our 4 year old who is a major Hot Wheels fan. He and dad pour through the colorful photographs and line up all their cars that match those found in the book. I am sure from a collectors point the information of the value along with the detailed picture would be very useful. It is a nice thick, heavy paged book that will be around this house for a long time.

updating Hot Wheels variations data

I find this book extremely helpful in listing a very large percentage of the current (1989 onwards) Hot Wheels variations. The book follows on from the earlier editions and I find it a very useful refererence source.

Another great update to the Holy Grail of variation hunters

If you collect variations of Hot Wheels, you have probably heard of the Godfather of Variations, Michael Zarnock. This guy is nuts about variations and has put together one of the top 3 Hot Wheels collector books ever published. I love the book and have loved it since volume 1 because it has fantastic Blue Card identification pictures and very accurate price guide. If you don't know if a variation is real or fake, just check the Grail, it will let you know if you are dealing with fraud or not. In other words, if it is not in this book you are probably not dealing with a variation. Indispensible to a serious Hot Wheel collector. Gratzi, Don Zarnock.

a new chapter for hot wheels collectors

I just got got this book today and It was more than I expected there were tons and tons of pictures, mr. zarnock give yourself a pat on the back because you did one heke of a job.

Unbelievable!!!!

The first Edition was great, but this one is even better. All updated prices and photos. There are so many pictures, I spend most of my time just looking at them.Mr. Zarnock did a super job as he always does. I recommend this Hot Wheels Variation Guide to any collector.I really like the check boxes next to each listing. It really helps when you are at a show or the flea market. I also like the interviews and pictures of the people from Mattel. It's nice to see the people that design and make these cars being a part of the hobby.Thanks Mr. Zarnock for another great book to help my collection.
