All I can say is thank goodness for the return of container sets!! I just ordered mine. Mattel's abysmal distribution continues, so naturally this mix did not/will not show up at any of the retailers in my city. The big three; Walmart, Target, Kroger, continue to march on month after month with empty pegs collecting dust. Meanwhile, Mattel continues to "release" new mixes that will never appear.
There it is 🤩 My favorite set ever!Japan historics.🔰I hunted down the 1st set off the pegs and the 2nd,not so much the 3rd😆 Little honda in premium form looks great,pixelated tampos are a bummer 🫤
3:09 that car HAVE an lb kit, however, hot wheels was sort of hiding that fact and they were not putting an lb logo on the car, to this day when there finally is a lb rx3 in a proper livery. Same thing with a 240z, that car have a Pandem wide body kit, not a new casting and hot wheels was also kind of hiding that fact for people not much into tuning, now you have that greddy diorama with a 240z in a pandem livery, its cool! In general i love when hw puts tuning brands on cars, new toyota starlet in work wheels livery is pretty sick!
I got four out of the five. I didn’t get the Z just because I felt as though the tail lights didn’t quite fit the whole look of the car. But I mean to each their own. But the Prince Skyline, Corolla Levin and the Honda Civic def caught my attn first.
Small rims look right, because they are right. 13" rims were all the rage back then, and the vehicles were designed with them in mind. One high school buddy had a Fiesta, it had 12" rims, looked "right" as well.
Man, the cheap inkjet look is getting worse on these. I realize a lot of factors go into hitting the price point, but the math ain't mathin' on a metal chassis being the reason they use these poor-quality wraps to hit $6.50 when Majorette has full tampo graphics and suspension on a $3 car. Lionel does $5 cars with plastic chassis. Most waves get nice, sharp, full color/detail wraps that look great. On the occasions when the wraps look like HW Premiums, people lose their minds, to the point where a popular car with a blurry wrap will sometimes get a later re-release with a fixed graphic. It's weird that the standards for HW seems to be lower. I understand it's complex, but it's a bummer when dollar mainlines often have nicer-looking graphics than the fancy stuff.
Beautiful scenery and a very nice Hot Wheels set that probably does not have a peg warmer in it (which means good luck finding these anywhere). The Z looks the best because it's clean without any of the ugly dot matrix printing on it, but all of the models are good ones.
Bless you sir, for an intro void of internet music and loud greetings. The silence with scenery segueing into a mellow intro is much welcomed. Are those supposed to be mirrors on the Corolla? If so, yikes.
Beautiful set,but Hotwheels really needs to improve its quality control,the Civic has a paintchip in the frontspoiler,the Z and the Corolla have a paintchip in the rearspoiler and the Mazda has a tampo error on the left front fender,4 out of 5 are bad,time to fire the QC guy.
Funny thing. I’m traveling and forgot my turntable. So I used the sneak turntable shots from older vids. Those come from Mattel and are always beat up a bit. Good to have an archive.
The last couple mainline '73 Honda Civic Customs have had very nice detailed fronts & backs tampo'd and they use the "glass" for the fog lights to let in - in the lime green versions case a blue light show thru; better than this foo foo one here that paints over the fogs. diggin' the cherry blossom graphics diggin' your friggin' set, too - sneaked in a little weather drama, very nice. 👀
Wish Rory the Cat and Shade the Tuxedo Cat likes the Japanese Culture Cars, same as Rory's S15 Silvia Spec-R: The Claw Attack Vehicle. Then, a Shade the Tuxedo Cat's Subaru BRZ which the 2 Female Cats from PPCP that 2 Female Cats like the JDM Sports Cars. Rory's Retro Sports Car and Shade the Tuxedo Cat's Modern Sports Car. They will enjoy their Trip to Tokyo City same as the Speed Racers City in England of the UK. I wish I like the Cars. So amazing, Lamley Group.
Red sun has always been part of the Japanese flag. It's the rising sun that was heavily used by the empire of japan. Don't try to bring up something if you can't even tell the difference
What the hell are you talking about? What is controversial about Japan's national flag? Come on, don't bring topics into the world of collectors that shouldn't even be topics.
Felt like I was in radiator springs in the intro….. absolutely stunning
Utah is the inspiration of cars movies. As well as Arizona and Nevada and desert California
Always nice to see new castings.
Nobody does unboxings/showcases like Lamley he is always at some outstanding locations and beautiful cars to show us!
Great scenery!

Beautiful scenery John ❤
Cool new castings, I hope to find this JH4 set on the pegs. Wonderful eye candy in the back ground , just glorious !
Carsome Place!!! Looks EPIC!!
Thanks for posting these vids. I will never find these car culture in the wild so I have to live vicariously 🥺
Very cool video lamley group
i pre ordered the Toyota one
very cool, Japanese historics is what got me originally hooked into Hot Wheels collecting! ❤
Very cool, beautiful area.
Best regards from Germany!
Always enjoy the nice cinematography, 👍
So hyped for this set
This set is an absolute perfection
i pre ordered the Toyota the one in orange
There it is 🤩 My favorite set ever!Japan historics.🔰I hunted down the 1st set off the pegs and the 2nd,not so much the 3rd😆 Little honda in premium form looks great,pixelated tampos are a bummer 🫤
The RX3 is being milked in this JH series. That’s already 3 out of the 4.
These sets are so amazing, I can’t wait to check these out
Very cool Set. The Prince and the Corolla are my favourites...
Wow, I want those!
already pre ordered the Toyota one
Cool, but I feel like I'll never see them in a store.
Maybe the RX-3 and the Civic, but everything else will probably be swiped from the cases
If it gives you some hope, I found one set pegged, probably the other set that came in the box had the chase but hey. At least I got all 5 models🤷🏻♂️
You didn't put the blue one on the turn table!
Yep, noticed that after I posted it. I've got a second video dropping in a few days with all 20 JH models and it will be there.
What a scenery 😎
Like all of them, but two i really want are Corolla and Skyline.
So lucky that my local shop calls me up to let me know about new stock. Just picked up the entire set 🥰🥰🥰
This set is amazing 👏😆. I just hope I find it.
nothings gonna beat the first japan historics set
JH2 IS THE BEST ONE
I miss Utah. Went to collage in Cedar City

Yay. A Car Culture set with new castings.
I have three of those models from a couple of years before.
Very COOL!!😎 They should make them in 1:43 scale as well🌹👍👍⭐💃💃😊😊😊
Hola Lamley ✌️😬
Que buena serie 🇯🇵

I was kinda hoping to see a ufo in the video 🛸😁
& that black skyline chase model is 🔥🔥🔥
That’s the Devil Z from Wangan Midnight
Yes and no, yes Hot Wheels were obviously making a homage with it but no because this one has a bodykit.
I really like the Corolla!
So nice, hope I get to find one somewhere 😂
Bro lives in radiator springs
Forester would of fit perfect here, although I'm kind of glad it's in Modern Classics, goes perfect with the Subaru 22B from a while ago. 💙
Someday I will move in the US.. I need it :)
they just started putting these out now

They should make a set called legends of the 90's. Doing all the 90's cars that made an impact to car scene from all the brands
Beautiful scenery and a very nice Hot Wheels set that probably does not have a peg warmer in it (which means good luck finding these anywhere). The Z looks the best because it's clean without any of the ugly dot matrix printing on it, but all of the models are good ones.
p.s. You did not put the blue Skyline on the turntable.
Please show more of the car on the turntable.
FANTASTIC LOCATION FANTASTICO HOT WHEELS
Bless you sir, for an intro void of internet music and loud greetings. The silence with scenery segueing into a mellow intro is much welcomed. Are those supposed to be mirrors on the Corolla? If so, yikes.
When will they release a premium maxda rx7 fb?
Got the set, I never get chases, those are taken out of the boxes on the floor.
Beautiful set,but Hotwheels really needs to improve its quality control,the Civic has a paintchip in the frontspoiler,the Z and the Corolla have a paintchip in the rearspoiler and the Mazda has a tampo error on the left front fender,4 out of 5 are bad,time to fire the QC guy.
Did you drop them? I noticed alot of chips on the close ups? Has that ever been common or was that after unboxing?

I need hotwheels to start putting the smaller wheels on all the old
Jdm cars
❤
All of them
Love that fair lady z
If you see a pile of bird seed and a sign saying “free seed” in the middle of the road, don’t stop!!! It’s a trap. Lol
Spectreman’s cars
Japanese words on a card💆🏼♂️
scenery is great, the cars not so much
Wish Rory the Cat and Shade the Tuxedo Cat likes the Japanese Culture Cars, same as Rory's S15 Silvia Spec-R: The Claw Attack Vehicle.

No more hotwheels, please greenlights
Honestly, these don’t look the best loose especially the Mazda.
Japan Historics !! Controversial Red Sun behind
About as offensive as the rebel flag
Red sun has always been part of the Japanese flag. It's the rising sun that was heavily used by the empire of japan. Don't try to bring up something if you can't even tell the difference
What the hell are you talking about? What is controversial about Japan's national flag? Come on, don't bring topics into the world of collectors that shouldn't even be topics.
Very ugly set, pass on all. Found fresh case, no chase, left it all.
I wish you’d focus on the cars and not your location. Please create a travel channel to get your rocks off for that shit.
Q: Can you share insights as to how Mattel decides which models to build as metal base/ metal top? Ex. Vintage racing 🟡 Mustang
