Has this run of 2020 Super Treasure Hunts been the best ever? I think you can make the argument that it has. Of course we like what we like, so there is no way to prove it, but dang the first 8 Supers of 2020, marking 25 years of Treasure Hunts, have been stellar. I […]

Stay home, don’t hunt, and rediscover your collection. And maybe show it on Lamley

With all the mayhem in the world, it is safe to assume the roll-out of new product from Hot Wheels and our other favorite brands might be a little sporadic. Which in some ways might be a good thing, considering toy hunting might be as “non-essential” as it gets. These things will be waiting for […]

One of the best 1/64 models ever made.

If I’m honest, the last couple of Hot Wheels cases have had their share of good models, but not as many as we are used to. H Case makes up for it. A tremendous Super, and equally great basic counterpart, and some fantastic new models. And of course a Momo Datsun Wagon to keep us […]

I have less than three cars from my childhood. A weird thing to say, “less than three”, but I can’t remember if it is two or three. I know one is a Corgi London Taxi that was given to me by my father, who got it when he visited London when I was young. The […]

You’ve got time and I’ve got time, so let’s nerd out a bit. Here is the first.

I initially hated it, but you pulled me in. Now with new shoes the HW Koenigsegg gets the love it deserves.

With “not normal” being the new normal, I was surprised to see a notification on Tuesday that my membership model had shipped. I was even more surprised to see that it would arrive the next day. And by golly it did. A lot of you had the same experience, and I have heard that even […]

The third model from Original Boulevard I want to feature. I am trying to keep it as random as possible. No ranking, just the models from my Boulevard collection. A collection you can actually see, incidentally, in this viewer request video I did the other day: The Ford GT LM is there in that image, […]

Hot Wheels Designer Ryu Asada dropped two Honda gems on Instagram last week. One on his own IG account: View this post on Instagram 🟦🟦🟦This blue is electric! ⚡⚡⚡Hot Wheels Honda Prelude recolor sample just came in. I'm loving it. All those silver badges are now very noticeable too. @hotwheelsdreamteam . . . #hotwheels #honda […]

Crazy times, eh? I, like many of you, have been asked to stay home from work, and I hope to use the time to give you a few things to watch and read. That doesn’t always mean new stuff, but this is a good place to start. The Hot Wheels H Case arrived at Wheel […]

It was a cool call. Our backyard is currently being redone. That means a complete tearing out of what was there (outside of a beautiful tree) and a lot of digging. My wife told me to check her Instagram, which I did. Something had been unearthed in the excavation. I had to share it too: […]

It is time to remove this from the “one-and-done” Hot Wheels list.

Video overload. A&J Toys sent over both the US and International G Cases from Hot Wheels. US came first, International the day after, and I have now opened both. The mixes were slightly different, with some odd assortments in the US case. At least you have a decent reference on what is coming. I’ll even […]

Lost in the supercar were two fantastic classics.

I don’t unveil much anymore. Occasionally I get a chance to show something as yet unseen, but I have enjoyed turning Lamley into a place for features and previews. And honestly, I have no idea if these have both been leaked. Maybe they have. The Ford Galaxie has, because I got a few folks asking […]

Lots of polls, thousands of votes, a ton of models, and now we are here. The 2019 Lamley Awards have come to a close, thanks to the Hot Wheels RLC year finally ending, and here are the results. I picked the categories, you voted, and the models with the most votes were selected. My commentary […]

I spent a few minutes catching up today. I had some MiniGT sent to me by SURPLUSgoodies and some RWB sent by Tarmac Works. They needed to be opened, and that is what I started the Lamley Extras Channel for. I popped on live and got it done. Both videos are below. I do them […]

I went live on the Lamley YouTube Channel to open what I consider the highlights of the Hot Wheels 2020 G Case. The Porsches are cool, and I am always excited when another Greenwood hits, but the sure highlight is the pair of Nissan GT-R models. I will give the pair the proper treatment, but […]

Full Yin & Yang. Contrary to what some think, even with Mattel owning both brands, there is no meeting where designers for both brands get together and decide who does what model. Even though they are under the same roof, and even though designers for both brands will dabble in the other occasionally, the direction […]

Last poll. There has been a pretty big gap in between polls, and my plan was to actually have all the winners from the other categories already announced. But a little break from videos and other circumstances delayed that and here we are. The 2019 RLC year ended last week with the sale of the […]

It did seem inevitable, and Hot Wheels dropped the bomb today. Working directly with the Cybertruck designer himself, the Hot Wheels Innovation team is rolling out an extremely limited 1:10 Scale RC Cybertruck along with a 1:64 RC. The 1:10 scale looks insane, and is on sale on HWC, but from what I hear it […]

I should call this series “The Gems of Boulevard not called Datsun 510 Wagon”. Lamley and the debut of Jun Imai’s signature car have been intertwined for years, and I have probably written more about it than any other model. But Boulevard is much more than the 510. It is one of the most interesting […]
