Duh. This is how it should have always been. It just seems perfect. A Hot Wheels Fast & Furious Premium line. Seems like we should be in at least year five of this. But it was worth the wait. Five years ago, it would have been the same cars that we saw repeated over and … Continue reading A stellar R32 Skyline kicks off the Car Culture-inspired Fast & Furious line
I've already showcased the three Supers I found in one bin, which was surely the find highlight of the week. But I think I was more excited about finding the the Fast & Furious Premium models. Nonetheless, I documented a lot of it, and that is what the Lamley Extras Channel is for. Some super … Continue reading Last week’s finds: Old Zamacs, a grocery shipper, Fast & Furious, and some Supers.
It's here. Call me a JDM nerd, but the basic model I have been most looking forward to is here. The Nissan Z32, designed by Dima and debuting is stellar white, will finally make it to my collection. And yours too, but I am making this about me for a second. My favorite car as … Continue reading Case Report: Hot Wheels 2019 E Case
I don't know who Tanner Fox is. I'm pretty sure Tanner Fox doesn't know who I am. I did look him up when the "Guaczilla" was unveiled by Hot Wheels. He is a social media star of some sort, enough to have a Hot Wheels car created for him. Clearly he is no slouch. And … Continue reading A Tale of Two: Hot Wheels Nissan GT-R Toy Fair & Guaczilla (x2)
First Matchbox, and now Hot Wheels. New stuff, all in Australia. Our friend Peter Tran (@lilthug101 on IG) came across the latest Replica Entertainment at Target Australia, and it's a nice mix. Back to the Future, Gas Monkey, Marvel, and Project Cars. A nice variety for sure. Peter picked up the two I would pick … Continue reading Check out the latest Hot Wheels Replica Entertainment showing up in Australia
Sometimes East to West, sometimes West to East, or North to South. Let's go South to North. Mattel threw a couple of new products Down Under this month, and our friends in Australia are showing. We will start with the latest from Matchbox: https://www.instagram.com/p/BsmEtb3A3_Q/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1fbu5b6qbg3oc More on this Batch to come, but consider this a sneak. … Continue reading Matchbox Mix 4 (L Case) is appearing in Australia
Haulers have become a must for us 1/64 nerds. There is just something about seeing our favorite cars on the back of a truck. Lots of brands have put out haulers, and there are a ton of really nice releases. But nothing surpasses the Nissan Atlas Hauler by Tomica Limited Vintage. Ultra-realistic, perfect 1/64 scale, … Continue reading Still trying to get a TLV Nissan Atlas Hauler? The third version is out with the January release.
Don't call them Volk TE37's. But you can whisper it. This will sound weird, especially in today's collector world, but there was a time that I thought Hot Wheels were FAR better on plastic basic wheels. And I wasn't alone. There were many folks who agreed. Hot Wheels has been doing Real Riders for a … Continue reading How great are the new Hot Wheels 6-spoke Real Riders?
I think it is pretty obvious I don't have the luck I used to have. Maybe more collectors in these here parts, definitely a large decrease in store visits, and who knows whatever else. I will always enjoy the random Hot Wheels Super TH find. A few years ago I did the Super TH Challenge, … Continue reading A week of finds: Started weak, ended $uper strong.
There are a few Hot Wheels Behemoths. They aren't officially called "behemoths", but the word fits. Hot Wheels are in the 1/64 range, but aren't exactly to scale. Sometimes a Mini Cooper can be as big as a full-size pickup, because of packaging and weight limitations. And considering the production cost of each model is … Continue reading Hot Wheels Behemoth: Replica Entertainment ’75 Kenworth W900
