Was wondering, I’m not a hot wheels or die cast collector, but it would be cool to have a replica of my car. Do companies make die casts to replicate every year?

I have a 2020 sonic grey pearl hatch. I’ve seen 2017s on eBay, but would like a 2020 if/when they’re made.

They make a general production year usually the induction year ( first year) unless is a more popular year
Example 1977 trans am because of “Smokey and the bandit “ you can look for a certain year but it will be costly and that usually in a 1/18 th scale die cast

Makes sense. I’m not really looking to spend a lot, especially being that I’m not a collector. Might just grab the one on eBay for a few bucks.

Thanks.
Not what you're looking for, but somewhat related...I thought these were kind of neat:

Coupe: https://www.collegehillshonda.com/product/325431.html
Sedan: https://www.collegehillshonda.com/product/325430.html

Apparently Honda used to send these out to new owners. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a hatchback version (or if there is, I can't find it).
Those are really cool. Wish they had a hatch version.

I haven't seen any 2020 model cars out there yet, but if you're fine with pre 2020, look up Mark43, they make nice 1:43 hatchback, with different colors, and I believe they're official Honda licensed product in some markets.

Other than that, the Tomica FK8 Type R is a good one IMO.

The keychains are free from Honda if you purchase a Civic. Got mine in the mail about two years ago. Straight from Honda.

Right, but I'm under the impression that they stopped doing this. I don't recall reading about any recent buyers receiving the keychains. I guess I'll just wait and see

Thanks, I’ll look into it!

purchased 2 civics in a little over a year, and didn’t get anything.

Hot wheels have a 2019/20 white and a red Type R out. Street burnerz series. They were $2.38 when I was a kid, now they’re a buck.
