Basketball is in full swing but it’s ALWAYS diecast season as far as we’re concerned. So pull up and shoot some home runs from the 50 yard line because we’re about to get crazy mad with diecast news.
- CALL THE PLUMBER WE GOT MAD LEAKS BRAH
John, aka THE Lamley Group, had Hot Wheels Product Designer Ron Wong on the channel to drop an absolutely absurd amount of new leaks.
There were so many good castings previewed that I couldn’t fit them into a single graphic, so just give his video a watch and bask in the greatness of what the Flame has in store.
2. USA! USA! USA!
Reoccurring Lamley contributor brand favorite Para 64 has introduced their first American car — or truck in this case — in the form of the 2006 Chevy Silverado.
The popular cateye Silverado, short bed truck is being released in a “SS Clone Cateye” version that features a Silverado SS front bumper and 454 LSX SS 454 style graphics on the bedside. According to Para64, the trucks will start shipping soon, sometime in May of 2025.
3. Green means GO…to the Greenlight convention
Greelight this past week announced it will be holding a diecast convention in the brand’s hometown of Indianapolis.
The 2025 Greenlight-Waltersons Collector’s Expo promises a full diecast fan/collector experience with lots of hype building up to soon, yet future announcements about the event. Being not too far from Indy myself, this event is right up my alley, so I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on the announcements in the coming weeks.
4. Members Only
It’s time again for the annual RLC membership enrollment period — and this time the membership car is an OTTO Blue ’95 Integra Type R.
The car does look fantastic in that special blue color and can now be had at a two-per-customer rate. This technically means you could score 10 of the Integra if you maxed out the five-per-address membership limit HWs has set.
It drops tomorrow at 9am PT tomorrow, March 25th and is available here: https://creations.mattel.com/products/hot-wheels-rlc-exclusive-1995-honda-integra-type-r-jcp06
5. AutoArt is Back
Late last year AutoArt announced their return to the 1/64th scale and their first casting is now up for preorder. The new model, a Koenigsegg One:1 will be dropped in six different colors and looks klike it will come packed with detail.
DiecastTalk recently posted the cars for preorder and have a few preview videos showing some up close views of the new cars. I will say they look great in the previews so hopefully they look just as impressive in-hand.
The In-House Party: the Weekly Lamley Drops
Lamley dropped several new videos, but this one unboxing a ton of Mini GTs really stood out as one to check out:
@championdjk also dropped a few new videos, with one featuring the two newest Elite 64 cars being posted just about a half hour before this article was complied.
@doomusrlc went a different route and dropped a new video featuring a ton of new Hot Wheels Monster Trucks:
“So pull up and shoot some home runs from the 50 yard line…”
I found this amusing, and thought, “I’m not as think as you drunk I am.”
