Why do Hot Wheels come on short cards?
Hot Wheels short cards are primarily designed for the European market, due to the limited shelf space in many retail stores there. They're the same awesome cars, just with less packaging! Plus, they're super collectible because of their unique packaging, making them even cooler to Hot Wheels enthusiasts.

Short cards? Just a marketing strategy, guys. Neat, but same cars.
Actually, short cards are not only for Europe; many collectors prefer them because they take up less space. More room for more cars!
