Speedy souvenirs: Mercury Speedy Porsche Carrera and Ferrari 250LM
If you’ve read my previous posts you’ll know I like to travel and when I do go abroad I try to bring home diecast each time. The more obscure the better, and these cars are one of my favourite finds.

Hard Body by Tootsietoy – toy cars with full features
July 5, 2020 – by Doug Breithaupt When someone mentions Tootsietoy, most of us picture simple one-piece toy cars with basic wheels. In a previous story, I reviewed these basic cars beginning with the first small-scale die-cast car made by Tootsietoy in 1911. With the introduction of the Hard Body brand name in the late […]

Remove the cool factor of RWB, and the Hot Wheels RLC Porsche 930 is still an extraordinary model.
The brand new Hot Wheels RLC Porsche reflects RWB just as much as it replicates 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 […]

Looking for a way to collect Tarmac Works? Maybe start with the RWB Porsches.
(Tarmac Works RWB on ebay) Right out of the gate I am not saying you should just collect the RWB Porsches from Tarmac Works. I am just saying it is a good place to start. Because you won’t finish there. I have been touting Tarmac for awhile now. They have steadily grown each year and […]

RESTORED. REIMAGINED. REBORN. MEET THE CRAZY SINGER PORSCHE BY TIMOTHY & PIERRE
This is sick. Crazy. Unbelievable. Astonishing. Enormous. Where to start ? I’m so excited to write about it! Imagine the situation, we have an almost unknown manufacturer with that strange name called Timothy & Pierre (mostly known for their Gemballa Enzo MIG-U1 in 1/18 scale), popping up from nowhere with Singer Porsche models. If that […]

The surprisingly spectacular Hot Wheels Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo
Before we dive in, let me clarify that title. This is obviously a feature on the new Hot Wheels Panamera, and we are lucky to have a few thoughts from the Hot Wheels Designer who spearheaded this one, but why is it surprising? Lots of reasons. First, the actual car is surprisingly cool. I’ll say […]

A Tale of Two: Hot Wheels Silhouettes RWB Porsche 930 & RLC Magnus Walker 964
Let’s call this Part 1. Let’s also mention that this is not a “vs.” post. Comparisons are obvious – these are both premium Porsches – but these two are just awesome together. Plus, I may have already done the “vs” thing on Instagram: View this post on Instagram Pick one. #thelamleygroup #hotwheels #hotwheelscollectors #rwb @christiancoujin […]

A tale of two Porsches: The new Hot Wheels 918 Spyder is a major upgrade over the Concept
Porsches have to be hard to replicate in 1/64 scale. The rounded edges and sloping lines, from what I hear from designers, can be very difficult to shrink into small scale. The canvas to work with is much smaller, and moving from one point on the car to another in such a small space can […]

Would you pay $1000 for a Hot Wheels Toy Fair Porsche 934?
I would say value doesn’t hold a whole lot of weight in what I collect. I would have to think that is the case with most of you as well. Treating Hot Wheels purely as an investment is ludicrous. There are better, for more productive ways to get your kids through college. But value is […]

Super vs Super: 2018 Hot Wheels Porsche 934.5 and 2016 Porsche 993 GT2
The Super vs Super feature continues, with another obvious one. I will try and get more clever on my pairings, and Porsche vs Porsche isn’t clever. Both are Porsches (duh), but they are also racing cars, and sport interesting Real Rider wheels. It is actually the wheels that made me feel like they were a […]

One cool Por-SHUH Super Treasure Hunt this is, this Hot Wheels Porsche 934.5.
Por-SHUH. Por-SHUH. Por-SHUH. Maybe I’ll remember it better if I link it to “Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!” Some of you will get that. I get grief for a lot of things, and my pronouncement of “Porsche” is near the top of the list. I was defiant at first, as everyone I knew said “Porsche” as a […]

Yes, this is a Hot Wheels Porsche 917 LH. Coming to the mainline soon.
While at the Hot Wheels Convention last month, attendees, as is always the case, got a preview of what is to come. There was a lot of premium models previewed, some of which I have been showing here, but a few basic models as well. Of all the mainline models previewed, none stood out as […]

Classic, clean and cool: The new Hot Wheels Porsche 356 Speedster
I thought about showing all the new Hot Wheels Entertainment Forza models together. I guess I already did, but in video form: Those are videos, but come on, you and I both know the photos are more fun. (Subscribe to the Channel anyway.) So I took photos. Lots of them, of all five models. And […]
