Good haul this week. Nice to find the Porsche premium on the pegs that would never happen here in FLA lol. Love the Benz too though you bring up a great point about the sizes. It’s really noticeable when you compare models from other brands. And I always find it strange how some Mattel castings are so excellent and above average while others can be so sub par and lazy,lacking basic features like side mirrors and highly detailed graphics. But I guess that’s to be expected with such mass produced products and why so many collectors are gravitating toward Mini GT, Inno, Pop Race and others. Anyway, thanks for sharing this weeks’ finds! 👍

Do you have a link where i can buy it?

Here in stores they cost 20eur each. Crazy.

Those are cool, I love movie cars generally, whenever a film has a great car but there's no model of that specific car available it feels like a wasted opportunity. I would love to know where the Porsche appears in the Fast & Furious films, though, I just can't place it. Any Matchbox beyond the basic line are impossible to find where I am too (UK - original home of Matchbox...), and it feels like even they are getting harder to find. Even specialised toyshops don't have them, I don't understand where these are supposed to be stocked.

❤❤ very nice ! Thankyou, !

I have a few ERA cars including a Lexus SC and a Jimny. Cool brand with some unique castings. Thanks for highlighting these!

The crushed car was from a monster truck diorama that Mattel decided to release on its own, from what I understand. I wish Matchbox would release a stock version of the Aztec. Love the duck and the Kowloon bus but I’m a sucker for odd castings! Still no luck finding new Matchbox mainlines here in Florida but fortunately it looks like I’m not missing much.😕 The Silver Line continues to impress though I wasn’t overly thrilled with the Race Day set. Mini Gt keeps setting the bar higher and higher. I Keep waiting for them to have a major misstep but so far it hasn’t happened. Good stuff this week, nice mix. Thanks for sharing!

I think You Have The World's Largest Mini Gt Collection ❤

Hey it’s good to have you back! I assume the peg hunting has been as pitiful in Europe as it’s been here in FLA/USA! 🤨 It’s been a dry summer for sure. I continue to be impressed with the silver series lineups. They’re not perfect by any means but a clear step above mainlines and just below premiums. I Also LOVE the artwork, particularly for this tubular set. I was fortunate to quickly find 3 of the 5 and those are currently still hanging on the pegs at my Walmart. But I have had no luck locating the Toyota or the Blazer, so I guess I’m gonna have to hit eBay to complete the set. Anyway, thanks for sharing, keep up the great work and happy hunting! 👍

Nice to get a look at these, the quality level is really high but I think the cartoonishly large wheels are a bit too much. I agree real tyre manufacturer lettering would be preferable, and silver lettering is a bit rubbish, with the size of the wheels they look more like toys for kids rather than models for adult collectors to me. That's not a criticism, just an observation - I think the nostalgia factor is very high with these, I remember having toys like this, this era of trucks with this era of graphic design, when I was very young.

I like the Silver Series...especially with a metal base.

My favourite models and Iam having them: 1) Bentley 2023 Christmas Edition ( 660 ), 2) Ford Shelby GT500 Dragonsnake Concept Oxford White ( 318 ), 3) Ford GT Mk II 2019 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance ( 293 ), 4) LB★WORKS Lamborghini Huracan GT Digital Camouflage ( 398 ), 5) LB★WORKS Lamborghini Huracan Fighters Works ( 258 ), 6) Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) Top Secret Top Secret Gold Japan Exclusive ( 676), a list about 50 more cars I think.

I have the new 2024 Version love it

NISMO is the best one for me

Don't know how you narrowed it down to just 8. For me it's the best case of 2024 so far. I skipped H so I include H with J. Also I'm for the variety. My favorite from this case was The Mercury Cougar Eliminator. The case was also full of Art cars. In particular Mailed It, King Kuda, Mod Rod and Speed Bump. Pagani Zonda and DeLorean were beautiful. DeLorean needs a major wheel swap. Duck N Roll, Mad Mike, Birthday Burner is awesome and fun. I'm Not the biggest JDM fan ,but I found the Mazda RX-7 very attractive. Hated the tooned RX-3 version ,and I found the Mitsubishi Pajero STH. Lucky me. Looks fantastic and my first spectra orange car. The bikes were ok. I prefer Ducatis. The other H cars were all bonuses for me so yeah that combo makes this my favorite case of 2024 so far.

Ugh, tooned cars, waste of zamac. The DeLorean is quite a nice car, but I don't understand why it's not clearcoated bare metal, the iconic DeLorean finish? The RX-7 livery is for Project μ (greek letter mu), a japanese brake manufacturer, and it's hard to make an ugly RX-7 (The Fast And The Furious managed, though). The Triumph is surprisingly good, glad they finally started doing bikes with riders. Nice Pajero, too, hope we get a dakar livery for that.

Nothing good in this case ....

Hi awesome video. I started collecting diecast also and was in DE. Question, where did you usually buy your Mini GT? I haven’t see one in stores

The issue is not what you think - it is not even that premiums are WAY overpriced compared to mainline in European markets (which is true), but in fact it's that Mattel is a monopoly and has no real competition. I lived until recently in Japan. In Japan HW have to compete with Tomica. Tomica have basic models that go for about ￥400 (€2.34) and premiums that are about ￥900 (€5.27) usually, and offer really good value - most basics have great paint, suspension and often have opening features like doors or removable roofs for convertibles etc., the trade off being that Tomica offer war fewer wheel variations. Tomica Premiums have similar features plus more paint/tampo detail and per-car reproductions of original wheels. To compete, HW are cheaper, usually about￥300-400 (€1.76 to €2.34) for mainline, less if you're lucky, and ￥800-900 (€4.69 to €5.27) for HW premium. Amazon.co.jp usually sell them a bit cheaper, e.g. right now the upcoming Boulevard Lamborghini Countach LPI800-4 is on preorder at￥880 - that's €5.16 at current exchange rates. I left before HW silver happened but the Bugatti in the vid I think went for about ￥500-600 (€2.93-3.52). Imagine paying €5 as standard for HW premiums (The less popular ones get discounted, e.g. I got a few for ￥595 and I once found a bin of unwanted F&F premium Jettas for ￥199 (€1.17) each!). (€3.49). We should be paying close to that, but because nobody competes with HW in the toy space...nope. The worst thing that ever happened for diecast collectors (outside Japan) is Mattel buying Matchbox. Their biggest competitor was forcibly sidelined and now they can charge what they like.

Well it's not only rubber tires but card art as well on premium in my opinion.

We race Hot Wheels with the grandkids...the Silver Line with metal bases are perfect.

I’ll take the wagon 💯🔥🔥

I really like how cool the displays for hotwheels are... i don't like the lack of car details.. no side mirrors, no rear lights, no front lights or exhaust tips at times... i prefer mini gt now. ..i like your review style and your behind setup though 👌..

Nice

Let me know what you’re missing bro, lots in my area and I’m in the EU. Happy to grab what you need if I can, and send it on.

I bet on Opel, really good one

That blue gti looks sweet

Same here. When u do find them here they picked over

H case is better you get doubles

I bet on VW Jetta

I have (2) black (3) silver Mercedes for safe keeping 👀😎🇧🇸

I’m digging the silver line sets. I understand can’t have rubber tires or they would be full premiums but I just wish they all had metal bases. I really want the Starlight from this set but that CRX is fire. Good haul. Thanks for sharing!

i think Nissan is the best one , i also got the set, really enjoy Nissan, Toyota and Honda

Awesome add ons! 🙌.. i started with hotwheels last year, quickly realized Mini GT was so much better🔥

Not a huge matchbox fan, but it really looks good

The blue 71 Nissan i like the colors. Not a fan of the tampons. The pink is one of the highlights of set. The Mazda is not best of the set. The 4runner is a great casting. I remember growing up seeing them alot.

So which brand 911 model has better scale & detail？ I just want to make a Porsches diecast wall, but I don't know should I choose mini gt or tarmac or hot wheels

Not hard to find it myself I have 5 of them

Japanese symbols are called Kanji

I was pumped to pick this pack up the other day because so far it’s proven hard to find. I don’t want to crack it until I find another one because I think it’s gonna be a classic. Thanks for sharing and for the details on the Japanese words. You do more research than Lamley lol 😂

I can confirm, on the Skyline that's the kanji for Nissan (日産). You will very rarely see kanji or other Japanese script for Japanese car manufacturers as since WWII and the transition to being an export economy it is seen as very strange to not make car badges in roman script. As for the Honda I love that era of euro-model Civic but the color, eugh. Hope they put it out in a more normal colour. The Subaru is a nice model but not really representative of Japanese police cars, they do have this general black and white livery but the black is always solid, no white panels in the lower half at all, and numbering is found on the roof. You're right that the kanji says 'keishichou' which means 'metropolitan police' (i.e. Tokyo) but the roman script 'police' should be bigger and in white on the black part . If you want a Japanese police car that actually looks like what you might see in Japan, look for Tomica, they are usually realistic. The Mazda 3 is a great looking car if you ignore the 'basking shark' grille, the white is boring but realistic as it is by far the most common colour of car in Japan. I'd estimate more than half of all cars are white there. Where I used to live there was a Mazda 3 that lived nearby, it was this amazing metallic red. Mazda have some of the nicest paint among mainstream car manufacturers. The Toyota is pretty good although its a shame Matchbox only want to do front+back OR sides, the lack of definition on the front really hurts this model, and come on , white wheels look good on almost everything.

I'm currently on the hunt for all the Raijin Express versions. I have almost every single one, except the recent anniversary one(and the NFT which i honestly don't count).

Nice choices, including a couple I haven’t seen before. I love the Falken, LBW, HKS and Gulf. I might’ve chosen Advan or Spoon,too, but one of the best aspects of collecting is how certain castings and decos appeal to some people more than others. Keep up the great work!

Thanks from Eugene, Oregon in the U.S. Love those Procars! Maybe show your bmw M collection some time? Cheers.

Great haul, some really cool castings! Hard to pick a favorite but I was impressed with the detail on that BMW and I happen to love the color. Silver McLaren also a top contender. Thanks for sharing!

are they valuable or only sth s are valuable or is this fantsy model has sth versions?

thanks for the infos as a starter very good for me but i need the ask something. i have a cars form 2007-2005 but i already open when i child how can i know cars sth or th is can possible without case

Appears to be very expensive in Europe! 😮 we are paying half the price here in Asia

We’ve had the same peg warmers here in FLA, the advan van and yenko stinger and the same two Porsches from that set - dozens hanging for weeks. The green 914 is a chase and I know I’ll never see one of those on the pegs lol. Haven’t seen any of the latest neon speeders set yet. They are definitely hit or miss with those wild decos but when they nail it they look really cool. Good haul this week. Thanks for sharing! 👍

Nice selection of Porsches. I’ve got a few in my collection but I’ve gotta add a few of those Tarmacs!
