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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

#lamleydaily – July 27, 2018 Model: Porsche 934 Line: Kyosho Porsche Collection Where to get it: It’ll pop up on ebay occasionally Why it’s in the collection: Hot Wheels does a beautiful 934. Of course it is a $1 Hot Wheels, so Kyosho is going to have more detail. Still, I like the Hot Wheels […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
