I’m a nerd. Want to know how nerdy of a nerd I am? I really like doing these Up-to-Date videos. I put them on the Lamley Extras Channel (you should subscribe), and they serve as a quick way to review what I have in my collection, or revisit some models that haven’t gotten a ton of attention of late.
The Hot Wheels Aston Martin DBS is one of those models. It doesn’t create seismic shifts when it is released like some models, but I think it is generally appreciated by a lot of collectors. It truly is a beauty, especially among other basic Hot Wheels models.
I am a committed collector of that model, adding anything released, and the latest was released in the Exotics 5-pack last year. Most are easy to find, with the exception being some wheel variations and the black Mystery baggie model, which was only released internationally.
But I am Up-to-Date.
I’m a fan of the DBS, but what about the 1963 DB5?
I like this casting a tremendous amount, and the the first few releases (plus the 007 Entertainment release) are just superb. I think this is an underappreciated casting.
