They still categorized as toys, man. They are designed to take some tumble. Try to drop models like Tarmac Works, Mini GT, TLV, etc and you'll understand what real damage is
Decent mix. The Mercedes looks amazing (although a bit too slammed for my taste). The Jetta is very cool too. The Siliva is decent but I'd prefer seeing some alloys rather than black rims. The Honda could use a different livery. The subaru is nice but let down by the terrible rims. Those flower rims are one of the worst real riders. I think the mainline looks better.
The 22B is my favorite. They finally got it right with the tail lights, added the STi stickers on the fog lights, and added the side badge and decals. They should have went with the gold six spokes instead of the current ones but no biggie.
This set is pretty fantastic! n btw, Never once in my life have i ever seen hotwheels "on sale" or discounted. You always seem to be INSANELY lucky with good finds, i hit about half a dozen stores 4-5days a week consistantly and i have real trouble just FINDING the premium cars let alone multiples on the pegs... and discounted at that. Of course i can get them 2nd hand for +5x the price 🙄🤬 LOL
I feel the same. Kinda wished the Civic had a normal paint job and the Jetta had a stock GLX look. But that's just me. Not a fan of visual tuning and love a clean realistic OEM look.
Awesome car culture modern classics you got, you open up, and you reviewed congrats. 👍To me this is the best car culture set so far.👍They're all my favorites. 👍I will be on the hunt for all 5 of those and I can't wait to add all 5 of those to my hotwheels collection. 👍
Still waiting on this set to drop locally (no pun intended). I do have the Hello Kitty EG and 22B STI already though. Absolutely stellar set and my daughter loves the Hello Kitty, will have to do a showcase vid as well. Great work as always, Mr Lamley.
Your comment on using the F&F castings later is gold. We got the 2016 STi from that as well, happy camper here. The Jetta is hot like you said and the Honda is too. All fire. I really cannot wait to get some 22B's from this series though, then the Honda and Jetta.
I like a lot the modern classics. My set of 5 is already on its way. At first I didn't like the Hello Kitty tampos, but now I find it quite nice and different to what we are used to see :) Nice vide as always :)
I agree that it's a great set. I just got mine in, and can't get over the quality of the Benz. I think the only thing that could have made it better would have been a truck. Maybe the Hardbody or a C-10...
*This set story.* *Hero car* : Subaru Sti 22B *Hero side kick car* : Honda Civic EG *Bad guy main henchman/ muscle car* : S14 *Bad guy comedic character car that so happens is brother to Civic EG* : Jetta *Bad guy Boss car* : Mercedes 280 We have a movie based on this set alone!!!!
It is a fantastic set sir, I am going to buy a case because they are going to be hard to find. I say it was the Mercedes that hit the floor. Not so sure about the laced Wheels on the 22b, but i do like it.
Definitely agree with u John 2020 has been one of the shittiest years I think everyone can agree for different reasons or the same one even the L.A. convention hot wheels this years cane wait for it to be over with
What an amazing set! Classic by name and this set will be a classic for years to come. For me this set, as a whole, is way better than Thrill Climbers. Thanks for another great vid John 👍
I'm looking to the day where Mattel would make a proper laced premium wheel (real rider). Mattel, you did great on the new 5 star design and also the te37 inspired wheel. Let's see update on these! 🥰
The civic is definitely cool, the 22b is clean, the s14 is the best release of it so far. The Jetta looks much better in red and that Mercedes is straight pimpin
Most of these sets will not be on the pegs in NYC , Target, or in Macy’s . No more Toys r Us . So hard to find any in NYC . Very good video and information. Mike Espo .
The 22B was also released in Dark metallic red in Basic, looks great with full tampos as well, different wheels though, they are a 5 spoke gold on the red basic version
I like Hill Climbers a lot more but I am not much on JDM. I love the 22B though and I do collect the HW Subarus (had a fist shipment WRB WRX back in 2001). The VW gets the nod for 2nd place.
I like the realistic Hot Wheels as shown! That '72 Mercedes is my favorite, but wheres the side mirrors? I would like to see more tampo on that mainlne series, and less "silly" models. Thanks for the informative video!
One of my next door neighbors literally has the Subaru Impreza WRX STI in real life, though, sadly, not as in good of a shape as the Hot Wheels car. I honestly should talk to him and see if I can be a good neighbor and help him fix his car up right. Between a 100 acre scrap/junk yard, and some businesses that specialize in JDM and aftermarket parts, maybe some more junk/scrap yards, and the online website of Subaru, as well as its local retailers, I am bound to find some parts to have his ride upgraded to custom showroom perfection.
I don't think the 2020 Modern Classics is *the* best set for 2020. For me, Thrill Climbers is still the best set for 2020. But, it's still a great set and the '72 Mercedes 280 SEL is easliy a candidate for best Premium model for 2020 imo. Thanks for the presentation!
The Datsun 510 sedan from Hotwheel is one of my favorites. The only thing I have a issue with is that the 510 sedan because of the round marker light on the Quarter panel. The 1971 510 did not have a round marker light. Ther marker light's on the car are rectangles. I would like to see the year of the car correction or a proper marker light on the hotwheels 510.
Excellent set, love the Civic, Merc and Jetta, like the Nissan, not thrilled about the Subaru, but everyone else seems to be. I think the Mercedes misses the mark on the theme though, not exactly a "modern" classic I don't think.
love this set. Merc is star, obv. awesome customs casting with the EG. the S14 is the lagger. Subaru card art is odd - wrong hand drive vs. model, no roll bar
In my oppinion, it's probably better if the Civic coloured in plain black and having the 22B with Classic 555-like deco. But i'm suspecting they didn't do that so the black Civic (probably) been kept for future FnF Set & 555-style deco 22B for future rally set
This set arrived in my mailbox today, and it’s sweet. (Although, I still don’t get why they did the Hello Kitty deco, or any deco, on the Civic when the rest of the set is so clean.) The Thrill Climbers are still my favorite Car Culture set of 2020, though.
Two cars took serious tumbles off the table for that intro. One even took on some damage on the way down. Can you guess which one?
Merc
Sub and merc
Jetta and S14😁
@@rontvstudios you can see the s14 shed a flake ahah
loli saw that intro start n thought to myself "John i hope you know what youre doing" haha
My heart is breaking when the cars drop out of the sky... afraid of the paint chipping off
Don't worry, it's a soft surface I think
@@lejyon05 the mat is soft but isn’t THAT thick 😂
They still categorized as toys, man. They are designed to take some tumble.

The premiums are more durable. It’s the mainlines which I am petrified of dropping. Whilst they are cheaper they are also much easier to break
Nah, close second. Thrill Climbers is still the best one IMO.
same
Thrill Climbers still the best! Can't beat the Ford RS200 and the Lancia 037!
Yea don't forget the Quattro...... But the whole is gold......
@@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo yea but the group b cars dominated it, the volkswagen idr is a close second
Great video, my favorite SUBARU 22b
Decent mix. The Mercedes looks amazing (although a bit too slammed for my taste). The Jetta is very cool too. The Siliva is decent but I'd prefer seeing some alloys rather than black rims. The Honda could use a different livery. The subaru is nice but let down by the terrible rims. Those flower rims are one of the worst real riders. I think the mainline looks better.
0:27 Ouch that hurts...
but goddamn this intro was cool as heck!
I need another Mitsubishi Eclipse model
Yeah. I couldn't get it from the Original Fast set 😥😥😥
The 22B is my favorite. They finally got it right with the tail lights, added the STi stickers on the fog lights, and added the side badge and decals. They should have went with the gold six spokes instead of the current ones but no biggie.

I feel like I’m the only one that’s not a fan of the Hello Kitty Civic. Other than that it’s a perfect set
Rather have it in red.

I also really hate it...

Oh I love that classic Mercedes. I was also excited when the 190 came out.
The Civic EG is a pretty creative idea; my favorites out of this set would have the be the Subaru and the Mercedes!
I would love for Hot Wheels to do a 70s or 80s Cadillac Fleetwood or Deville to go with the Mercedes
Love that merc, really like the curtains moulded in the glass
Music + intro is perfect!!! Love it!!!
for me the THRILL CLIMBERS series is the best so far and for casting it is the mercedes 280 sel
Really lovin' that '72 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL. Very cool looking indeed, must get myself four or even more!!!
I have my subaru 22b and silvia S14 for now, oh yeah.
Mad respect that you don’t hoard every model there is 😎😎😎
I like a lot the modern classics. My set of 5 is already on its way. At first I didn't like the Hello Kitty tampos, but now I find it quite nice and different to what we are used to see :)
Nice vide as always :)
Im so glad you dopped that pinky , I'd probably just repaint it or chuck it in the bin.
Yeah it just might be. The EG Civic and Merc look fantastic
ITS ALWAYS GOOOD WHEN LAMLEY GETS NEW CAR CULTURE
Great video! Can you ask hot wheels to bring back the altezza/Lexus is300, last time the altezza came out it was tooned
The 22b and merc are phenomenal, can’t wait to get this set!!
I only have 2 & 3.
Super Sick Cars! 10/10
Nothing wrong with having 12 Mercedes..I won't admit to how many I have..lol... Great new mix set, I'll be keeping my eye out for those
I agree that it's a great set. I just got mine in, and can't get over the quality of the Benz. I think the only thing that could have made it better would have been a truck. Maybe the Hardbody or a C-10...
The rear curtains and color of the Merc make it my favourite!
*This set story.*
*Hero car* : Subaru Sti 22B
*Hero side kick car* : Honda Civic EG
*Bad guy main henchman/ muscle car* : S14
*Bad guy comedic character car that so happens is brother to Civic EG* : Jetta

That mercedes might be the best casting of 2020. Straight up bad ass
I'm looking to the day where Mattel would make a proper laced premium wheel (real rider). Mattel, you did great on the new 5 star design and also the te37 inspired wheel. Let's see update on these! 🥰
Love the Mercs dude , keep up with the great videos 👍👍😜
First set that i want all five. Amazin vid as always😁🇵🇭
Definitely the best lot in 2020 so far
Merc is the best of all, the champ!
This is the best after the JH2, Ordered one set myself🌝
Very clean set! So hard to find these car culture sets on pegs so hopefully ill be able to grab one of these!
amazing intro but oh boy did it tear my heart apart 😭
That merc is like tomica limited vintage
BEST LINE UP YET! Mmmmhmmn Scrumptious 👀👍
Love the Mercedes as s well
I like that Ford Mustang casting that was in this video.
The Mercedes is great. I wish they’d do a stock Jetta without the body kit...
The civic is definitely cool, the 22b is clean, the s14 is the best release of it so far. The Jetta looks much better in red and that Mercedes is straight pimpin
I just decided I was going to collect premiums ONLY! Donating all basic casting keeping my STH's & TH's
Most of these sets will not be on the pegs in NYC , Target, or in Macy’s . No more Toys r Us .
So hard to find any in NYC .
Very good video and information.

The eg and the 22b 😍
The Mercedes 280SEL gets my vote as the best Hot Wheels casting this year!
Both the Mercedes are amazing!! Wish I was collecting what the 190e came out with Period Correct.
I like Hill Climbers a lot more but I am not much on JDM. I love the 22B though and I do collect the HW Subarus (had a fist shipment WRB WRX back in 2001). The VW gets the nod for 2nd place.
Good selection ! I hope to find them !
damn that jetta and civic clean asf doe
@Lamley Group, just who are you to determine what is a "proper look" for a vehicle anyway, out of curiosity?
thrill climbers is IT for me
This set is so cool, the Mercedes is great!
Steps:
1) Buy hello kitty Honda Civic
2) Paint it red and add Nightkids decal
3) *D o b r u j a C r a s h u a I k o z e*
Bro btw its
Daburu kurashu ikouze
Thx Popsicle
I like the realistic Hot Wheels as shown! That '72 Mercedes is my favorite, but wheres the side mirrors? I would like to see more tampo on that mainlne series, and less "silly" models. Thanks for the informative video!
The Subaru wrx sti 22b also came out in silver and maroon

Hopefully they release a matching S13 too.
Its a wonderful set. Love it. M waiting for this one but m afraid if it might not landed in India due to the current pandemic going on worldwide....
That 72 Mercedes is my favorite. I bet it gets crazy expensive on ebay.
I like that dark blue merc bucket loads :)
The music playing the whole video needs to go
AGREED
Nah man it’s vibing
I'm sorry but the music is clean
Excellent set, love the Civic, Merc and Jetta, like the Nissan, not thrilled about the Subaru, but everyone else seems to be. I think the Mercedes misses the mark on the theme though, not exactly a "modern" classic I don't think.
I like the Hello Kitty car (the JDM Honda Civic EV if you are wondering).
that wrexy looks nice!
So beautiful Mercedes I really like Uncle broo😍😍
Interesting. We used to have a '76 280.
love this set. Merc is star, obv. awesome customs casting with the EG. the S14 is the lagger. Subaru card art is odd - wrong hand drive vs. model, no roll bar
You asked about other colors on the 22b, it was also done in a burgundy red with gold wheels
In my oppinion, it's probably better if the Civic coloured in plain black and having the 22B with Classic 555-like deco. But i'm suspecting they didn't do that so the black Civic (probably) been kept for future FnF Set & 555-style deco 22B for future rally set
Mercedes is fantastic.. I will have to buy this set .. 4sho
The 22b was also in red, but should only be blue
Nice intro ,with "the fallen Angels"
The Mercedes definitely, I like the "FOXY" Jetta too
That eg is the bomb. Anyone know what other premium egs there are?
Im a huge VW guy but that Merc just beats em all!
This set was crying out for that 96 Carrera to be premium but they make a worst civic than the clean yellow one smh.
I just got my case of 5 yesterday in the mail pre-order
I’m new to hot wheels and was wondering if the codes he shows on the back of the card are what shows on the boxes?
Absolutely fantastic set, except Civic, it's just not for me, but all another models are great, especially Silvia, Merc, Subaru, VW)
2017 street tuners had the S15 as well
I always watch your videos at night, and get really sad because I can’t get access to ANY of this, only the basic main line is sell here in Brasil ☹️
I'm on the hunt for that Mercedes.
Ha I been waiting for that set for the hello kitty honda, and Silvia. Thanks
One of the best, if the THE BEST intros for a showcase EVER!
More cars that I most likely will not be able to find in stores😞
Nah fam I like the subaru and the s14
