Just came across this beauty at Target: I have already sung the praises of the Car Meet 5-pack, and now here is another. Look for it at Target now, a million other places soon. I’ll have a showcase shortly. Advertisements

Exhausted all your Walgreens looking for 50th Anniversary shippers? Well drop what you are doing and head to Target. Wait, hit a couple of Walgreens first. My friend did and found these: Alright, now that you have exhausted your Walgreens, head to Target. Another friend is traveling in Missouri and came across this: Yep, a […]

Just a heads up to start checking Walgreens. Most – or all – are getting special Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary standalone displays, with a variety of products. I wandered into a Walgreens and asked about it, and a very nice employee told me she just got one and would open it for me. And she […]

The random find is the best find. That can be a Super TH, a set you didn’t think was out, a car you didn’t know existed, a cool error or variation, or a back-in-time find. I had the back-in-time variety this week. A rural hardware store LOADED with models from 2003 to 2010. And quite […]

After work yesterday I decided to take a quick jaunt to Las Vegas to visit my good friend Jay Kho. We made a video – coming later this week – and dined on Korean food. The only reason I am telling you this is that my trip back ended up being quite fruitful. I rarely […]

A few weeks ago I previewed the new Matchbox Chevy Trucks 100 Years set, and a few days afterwards it appeared at Walmart. Well, most of it did. Many of you noticed the new casting in the set, the ’47 Chevy AD 3100 was missing. And you didn’t just get a messed up case. After […]

New 5-pack alert. A visit to the pegs at Target today yielded this new pack, HW Metro: This isn’t a 5-pack I would typically mention here on the blog, but that second model merits a closeup. Sandwiched between a stack of generics, and an unfortunate plastic Amazoom, is a beautiful VW Squareback. VW’s tend to […]

Just a heads up for those of you looking for the new Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Black & Gold set. As was mentioned in the preview, this set will not be found in familiar stores like Walmart, Target, or Toys R Us. Instead, it will be other specialty and general stores. One is Family Dollar. […]

Just a quick heads up on what will be a bit of a confusing start to the 2018 Matchbox year. As I mentioned in the preview video below, Matchbox 2018 Batch A is already out. You just may not know it. Because of some delays, Matchbox 2018 Batch A ended up being a hodgepodge of […]

Thought I’d post the pic. I checked the pegs first, and didn’t plan on bothering with the endcap considering they were pretty bare. This is exactly how I found it: View this post on Instagram Oh hi. #lamleyfinds #thelamleygroup #hotwheels #hotwheelscollectors A post shared by Lamley Group (@lamleygroup) on Nov 13, 2017 at 2:05pm PST […]

It has been awhile since I found an Ultra Red. At least until the last couple of weeks. I have felt some heat coming from the collector world about Auto World. I think many people are starting to catch on as to how cool these classic American car castings are. And yeah, there are chases. […]

Nice to see things returning to normal. After a long summer in which dump bins seemed only adept to carrying Marvel character cars and Camo, and basics only appeared on trays, when they appeared at all, fall is here. And so is the Hot Wheels product collectors are happy to pursue. In the last 2 […]

I walked into a Walmart early this morning, and as I turned the corner I was surprised to see a new dump bin at the end of one of the aisles. First off, it is nice to see something new at Walmart. As I have heard from many of you, my local Walmarts have been […]

I don’t typically get too excited for Halloween cars. But there is something about this assortment this year, with the killer skull wheels, that makes it noteworthy. If you remember, an few sets were erroneously sent to Walmarts over the summer, and that allowed for a very early preview here on Lamley. Well fall is […]
