In November 2021, Hot Wheels launched its NFT Garage Collectibles with a starting price of only $15 per pack. The collection offered 40 designs, including some of the most iconic Hot Wheels ever created. These iconic vehicles were replicated on digital trading cards and modeled after nostalgic Hot Wheels packaging.
The original NFT Garage Series collection was made available in basic four-card and premium ten-card packs featuring a healthy range of rarities, including Base, Rare, Premium, and Treasure Hunt (NFTH). One thing that stood out with the original collection is that the team behind the project went out of their way to make the collection more accessible for collectors and fans.
