Community Guidelines

Help keep HW Price Guide a welcoming place for Hot Wheels collectors.

Collecting Moments feed

The Community feed is for sharing collecting moments: a peg find, a display, a question, or a discussion with other collectors. Logged-in members can post a short English message, up to four photos, optional links to cars in the catalog, and an optional label (New Find, Collection/Display, Question, or Discussion).

Comments and replies can include one photo. Every post and photo is checked automatically against these guidelines before it appears in the public feed. Posts that need a closer look are held for review. Follow collectors from the feed or their profile to filter to people you follow.

Car reviews

Any logged-in member can leave one written review per car. Reviews are checked automatically before they go public. Editing a review sends it through moderation again. Approved reviews earn 5 community points (once per car).

What is appropriate

  • ✓ Collecting-moment posts about finds, collections, displays, identification, and respectful collector discussion.
  • ✓ Photos of cars, carded cars, shelves, store hunts, or people tastefully showing their collection.
  • ✓ Helpful details other collectors would find useful.
  • ✓ Respectful language written in English.
  • ✓ Reviews of 500 words or fewer.

What is not allowed

  • ✕ Hate speech, harassment, threats, or personal attacks.
  • ✕ Swear words, sexual content, or other objectionable material.
  • ✕ Off-topic posts, spam, promotions, solicitations, or selling.
  • ✕ External links in community posts or reviews (tag catalog cars instead).
  • ✕ Emojis in car reviews.
  • ✕ Non-English posts or reviews.

Reporting, blocking, and likes

If a review, community post, or comment breaks these guidelines, report it. Reported community posts are unpublished pending review. Reported comments are hidden from others until they are checked. You can also block a user so you no longer see their content; blocking only affects your view.

Logged-in members can like reviews, community posts, and comments (not their own). Liking a review awards 1 community point to both you and the reviewer. You can unlike content, but repeated like/unlike cycles do not earn additional points.
