Every New Years Day, I have a Hot Wheels tradition that started in 2005 and continues to the present day. Around Fall, Hot Wheels begins to release next years new models along with the remainder of the current years cars. Every year I buy up all of next years new models excluding repaints and won't open them until New Years Day. I open them at midnight. So when I was at Walmart today they added a ton of new cars to the dump bin of Hot Wheels cars. There were plenty of 2013's cars there.
So that begs the question what are the changes I am talking about? Well the changes are mind boggling. There is no longer a yellow striped New Models series. Any new models are going to be mixed in with segment series like Hot Wheels sister brand Matchbox does. The new models are marked with a yellow circle that says New For 2012, kind of like how Mattel states new WWE figures with the red First Time in the Line sticker.

If you see a ton of green striped cars, don't get too excited because they aren't Treasure Hunts. They are a segment series called HW Imagination. One new for 2013 HW Imagination car is the Batman Live Batmobile.
