How to Date Hot Wheels Cars
Dating Hot Wheels cars is like a treasure hunt - you gotta check the base! Most have a year stamped on them, showing when they were made. But beware, this is the copyright date, not necessarily when the model was released. For newer models, check out the code – letters and numbers that can tell you the exact production date if you know how to decode it. There's plenty of guides online that can help with the decoding.

Hot tip: Don't just look at the bottom! Packaging can give clues too. Special editions and anniversary series often include the release year right on the package. Saves you from trying to translate those cryptic codes on the car's base.
Honestly, unless you're super into collecting, the exact date might not matter much. All Hot Wheels are cool, old or new!
If you really wanna get into the weeds, join a Hot Wheels forum or collector's group. Those folks have spreadsheets and databases that can pinpoint almost any Hot Wheels car's release date. Plus, they're usually happy to share their knowledge with newbies.
