So. Here we go. Let’s talk about one of my favorite new brands of the moment : Inno64. When John asked minicar lovers to write articles for the Lamleygroup blog, I was pleased (I had already written for the blog though, an article about Nascar minicars made by Lionel Racing), and asked myself what I … Continue reading The New Jewels from Macau : Inno64

Not EVERYTHING has to be collector oriented, … Continue reading Lamley Awards Poll: What was the BEST Hot Wheels Regular Treasure Hunt in 2019?

Hot Wheels never ditched Muscle. They just branched out a bit more than they did in the 2000’s. And if the 2000’s were the Golden Age of Hot Wheels Muscle, then there is no reason Hot Wheels can’t draw from it whenever they need to. Hot Wheels did a TON of Muscle Cars in the … Continue reading Showcase: American Steel wants to remind collectors that Hot Wheels still has big Muscles.
Remember that post last week, where I compared my blog prowess to that of an overzealous gym-goer hitting the weights for the first of maybe four times to satisfy a New Year’s resolution? This post might be gym visit number 3, as I have done a decent job so far in 2020. Actually, the Lamley … Continue reading Showcase: Hot Wheels Team Transport RWB Porsche 930
I don’t make it a secret that I am not as well-versed in Fast & Furious folklore as some. It seems every time I post an FnF showcase video or post there are comments about when a person drove what car in what movie. Something along the lines of “That S15 was driven by Larry … Continue reading Preview: Hot Wheels 2020 Fast & Furious Premium Fast Tuners
Well It's about time I start earning my keep around here. Many years ago, John set up the Lamley Group to be a joint venture between himself (John Lambert "LAM") and myself (David Tilley "LEY").
