Unboxing: Opening both the US & International Hot Wheels 2020 G Cases
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 […]

The Hot Wheels 2020 L and M Case Super Treasure Hunts are…
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 […]

Showcase: Hot Wheels 2020 Batch G Highlights & a Super Treasure Hunt first
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 […]

A Tale of Two: Matchbox & Hot Wheels Nissan D21 Hardbody Pickups
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 […]

Lamley Awards Poll: What was the BEST Hot Wheels RLC Model in 2019?
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 […]

The Tesla Cybertruck comes to Hot Wheels
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 […]

The Gems of Original Boulevard: Hot Wheels Porsche 993 GT2
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 […]

A tour of my office collection, plus the Hot Wheels & Matchbox models I recently purged
I was talking to a friend the other day, who looked at me and told me he was a little worried about me. I asked why, he said he noticed I hadn’t dropped a video in a couple of weeks and thought I had finally burned out. I told him I just needed a break. […]

There cannot be too many Honda Civics in 1/64. Hot Wheels & Matchbox just dropped two more.
I should do a full feature on all the darned Honda Civics that Hot Wheels and Matchbox have dropped on us the last few years. It would be a fun feature, and maybe I will do it. But I don’t want to right now. I want to concentrate on the new Civics. The two new […]
