Prepare, because I have the H Case Report coming right after this. Mattel decided to send two cases at once, and that means the folks at Wheel Collectors have spent the whole day unpacking to shipments. That is a lot, but they still made some time to give us a short video and photos of … Continue reading Case Report: Hot Wheels 2019 G Case
A quick video for you to check out what is in the Hot Wheels 2019 G Case. Wheel Collectors filmed it quickly, I added a tune, and there you go. Simplicity. But I'm not done. The Case Report is coming (they photographed the contents as well), plus a Super & Highlights Showcase and a full … Continue reading Rapid Unboxing: Hot Wheels 2019 G Case
Model: 2019 Hot Wheels Entertainment Lamborghini Huracán I've said this is the best Lamborghini Hot Wheels has ever done. It doesn't have to be, and after thinking about models like the Murcielago SV LP and Gallardo Police from Speed Machines, I may have spoke too soon. But this Dr Strange model is either the best … Continue reading Lamley Daily: Hot Wheels Entertainment Lamborghini Huracán
When I opened the latest Matchbox 9-packs, I looked right past the Food Truck. Not a model I have paid too much attention to in the past, and there were other models I wanted to see. Thankfully, I was actually opening this pack on a livestream on the Lamley YouTube Channel, and a couple of … Continue reading Yep, Matchbox made a Sriracha Food Truck
The BMW 1M is a Matchbox all-timer for me. I love the casting, love the car, and its first release represents a special time for me as Matchbox Ambassador. I own a prepro that I won at auction at the Gathering, and it remains one of my prized possessions in my collection. So it was … Continue reading Opening the two latest Matchbox 9-packs, checking out the Coronet Police, and walking through the BMW 1M
I'm going to post this now, because mayhem is around the corner when it comes to Tomica Limited Vintage. Cutting to the chase, here is the link to the June 2019 Pre-Sale Page at Japan Booster. Follow it now, and snag the models you want, namely the two Nissan GT-Rs. You are going to be … Continue reading The June 2019 Release from Tomica Limited Vintage is now available for Pre-Sale at Japan Booster
Let me introduce you to Doug Breithaupt. I have known of Doug since my early days of collecting, when I was a frequent visitor to MCCH, the Matchbox forum to visit at the time. Doug not only shared his vast knowledge on Matchbox there, but on all kinds of diecast, from popular brands like Hot … Continue reading The History of the Hot Wheels & Matchbox Z cars, by Doug Breithaupt of Tales of Toy Cars
Do you know when I think BRE has been overplayed? When I see plans for whole BRE lines, or when I see crazy prices for items signed by Peter Brock, John Morton, and others. Do you know when I don't think BRE has been overplayed? When Hot Wheels releases a Team Transport BRE set, and … Continue reading Showcase: Hot Wheels Team Transport Mix 3. You know, the BRE one.
Right? 111. 108 through the end of 2018 with the first three released this year. That's a lot. It also means that Mattel and Walmart have been smart to stick to it. Walmart has had exclusives for awhile, but the Zamacs have been brilliant. A unique take on basic models. The variety can be wide, … Continue reading Isn’t kind of nuts that we are now up to 111 Hot Wheels Walmart-exclusive Zamacs released now?
Let's get this out of the way. I am not a big fan of the decos on these five cars. The colors are a bit dated, the graphics as well, and in many ways they take away from the cars they are plastered on. But that doesn't matter in the least. A) because who cares … Continue reading Showcase: Hot Wheels Premium Fast & Furious Original Fast
