Starting in 2008 Hot Wheels began using base codes. These base codes can be interpreted as follows.

Letters = Year of Manufacture

A 2008
B 2009
C 2010
D 2011

Numbers = Week of the year

1-52 Week Of the Year


Example: B12, B indicates the car was manufactured in 2009. 12 being the 12th week of the year puts the production date approximately the end of March.


Other then helping to search for new variations, These base codes have little meaning among collectors.
