Lamley only hypes Gassers, so here is the Mercury Comet Cyclone from the RLC set

I've decided to move from only hyping JDM to only hyping Gassers.  At least for this minute.  Don't expect anything but Gassers here on Lamley from here on out.  Until the next post, but still.  Lamley only hypes Gassers.  They knock my socks off. And since I do, you can imagine how excited I was …

The next Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Set is out in New Zealand. It is coming to US Targets soon.

My good friends at Diecasttvchannel came across this beautiful set in New Zealand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kjV5XKUJ3c Hot Wheels is hitting all kinds of fun angles with their 50th Anniversary sets, and this is no exception.  The Silverado is the star, so much so that I took a few pics of it last October at the Hot Wheels …

Don’t call it hype. The Hot Wheels RLC Bundle BRE 510 is a gem.

It is most certainly a phenomenon.  Not entirely explainable, but then again most phenomena aren't. But the BRE 510 is a thing.  It might create eye rolls from some, but there is no denying the two Hot Wheels 510's released with Brock Racing Enterprises racing livery are legendary Hot Wheels models. I have told their …

Rollin’ in my SVO. Mustang enters the Hot Wheels Car Culture world in style, yo.

The upcoming RLC Car Culture set is going to be a hit.  I don't think anyone disputes that. Adding a sixth car to each 2017 Car Culture assortment is a brilliant idea, and it is equally well-executed.  Each car fits its mix. My guess is the BRE 510 will be the most sought-after model of …

The Bugatti Veyron has become somewhat of a Hot Wheels legend. Are you a fan?

I did this showcase last weekend, but haven't shared it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ykM5yorns The Veyron had a bit of a reputation as a pegwarmer for most of its time in the Hot Wheels mainline.  That changed dramatically when word got out that the casting had been retired.  Demand began to grow, and as that was talked …

The Hot Wheels HWC Original 16 Custom T-Bird goes on sale today. Here is what it will look like if you open it.

It's a hard call.  Keep it in its vintage style packaging, packed nicely in a protective box, with the model beautifully nestled inside.  Or open it, allowing the spectraflame to shine? It isn't even a contest.  Open it.  Which I did, and the Custom T-Bird looks amazing.  You should do the same when the model …

The Ford Transit Supervan returns to its roots in Car Culture Cargo Carriers

It was my favorite Hot Wheels release of 2015.  Not only because of the execution, but because of the choice.  Hot Wheels decided to do the Ford Transit Supervan, a wild meshing of a Ford Transit and GT40 that produced one of the most unique, and coolest, vehicles ever done.  It also is the subject …

The Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Favorites line is coming. Pay attention to your Toys R Us stores.

Hot Wheels just announced another special line commemorating its 50th year, and this one should be a collector fave.  Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Favorites appears to be a Car Culture-ish take on the 50th Anniversary lines, with a focus on current collector favorites. The details are at hotwheelscollectors.com, but it is essentially this:  There will be …

The Hot Wheels Honda Odyssey goes more stock for Car Culture Cargo Carriers. Or does it?

It was such an odd - yet compelling - choice for Hot Wheels to do a Honda Odyssey.  The reaction was predictably mixed when the word got out that Hot Wheels was going to do an Odyssey.  The company of raked Camaros and slammed hot rods was going to put the ultimate grocery getter on …

Lamley Preview: The Hot Wheels Team Introduces the RLC Car Culture Bundle

The Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive Car Culture 5-car Bundle will be available soon, with preference given to RLC members, at hotwheelscollectors.com.   I don't know the date, and I don't know the price, but to get you ready, here is a preview done with Jimmy Liu and Julian Koiles of Mattel, filmed last October at …
