Scan loose or carded
Point your camera at the car or the card. No typing toy numbers, no scrolling through 40 look-alike castings.
For die-cast collectors
Know every car you own before you buy it twice.
Snap a photo of a loose or carded car and it lands in your garage with the series, year and variant. Keep a hunt list, check off case sets, and see current listings for the rare ones.
Free to join. We'll only email you about the launch. Unsubscribe anytime.
Thanks! That genuinely shapes what we build first.
What we're building
Never buy a duplicate by accident
Standing at the pegs? Scan it and see instantly whether it's already in your garage, including color variants.
Hunt lists that keep up
Build wish lists and set checklists, mark what you've found, and see what's still missing from a series.
Keep an eye on the rare ones
Most cars are worth a dollar or two. For premiums, RLC and Treasure Hunts, check current listings when you need a reference.
Questions
Is this an official Hot Wheels or Mattel app?
No. CollectLens is an independent project built by collectors. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Mattel or any toy brand.
When does it launch, and what will it cost?
We're building it now and will email the list first. There will be a free version; people on the early-access list get a founding discount on the paid plan.
Which brands will it cover?
Hot Wheels first, then Matchbox and other 1:64 brands. Tell us what you collect in the quick questions after you sign up.
What do you do with my email?
We only use it to tell you about the launch. We never sell it, and every email has an unsubscribe link.
