    As a Porsche collector I did myself a favor and got the MiniGT Rexy and pre-ordered the Roxy for pretty decent prices. Not going to stress over trying to find them on the pegs because I know it is a lost cause. If I find them, great. If I don't, I'm at peace with it. Will definitely grab the BMW and Bentley though as I am guessing they will be easy to find.. Anyways, great video sir. Cheers!

I bought 2 mini GT rexys and preordered Roxy like you said I'm a HW hunter but I'm not trying to stress out about it. At this point I only want the HW version for my son cause he absolutely loves rexy

    MDC, thank you for the video - I legitimately enjoyed you showcasing those older fantasy castings more so than the newer hyped stuff. I've taken a break the past few months as Hot Wheels are the #1 fad/trendy collectible at the moment and for those of us in large urban areas we have NO chance against retail employees and the professional resellers.

    There used to be a time a few years back when those mystery car bags had small pics on the back of the entire series and all 10 cars were awesome. No fantasy cars just all real cars. Also the set prior to this one you are showing actually had 4 desirable cars as #4 was the Bone Shaker.

    The Volvo was also in a Canyon set in Orange with a black chase. As for the Race Day it’s obvious this set was strictly a cash crab by Mattel to get the inflated valued pink Porsche on the market. The rest of the set seems like an afterthought. And am I the only one who is underwhelmed by the whole Rexy/Roxy?! Sure it’s a cool casting but it’s being blown WAY out of proportion by the hype surrounding a pink chase, IMO. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    It's not even Mattels fault although I bet they're enjoying the drama! It's the scalpers fault/horders that make it impossible to find a chase...and the collectors that actually support these a$&holes by buying them at ridiculous prices. Crist, just pass on them and move on. Later these guys will be stuck with them and be forced to drop their greedy pices to sell them off(years later, of course). Anyway, that's my five cents.

    I don’t get how you can be upset that Mattel made an awesome, highly desirable chase. Yes, it will be scalped and hoarded, but so is every other chase car. Your chance of finding this on the pegs are just as low as every other chase car. I personally think it’s awesome, and even tho I will probably never find it or pay the money to buy it online, the same goes for every other chase car too.

    • @mtldiecastcafe
      @mtldiecastcafe  Месяц назад

      Except the fact that this chase will go for over 300 dollars instead of the normal 100 for the black versions. Then on top of that the normal black versions are of a car already in the set so if you don't want it no big deal, but a rexy and a Roxy completes the 2 giving you no choice but to find the chase. That is what makes me upset is that a little clearer for you.

    • @crispyraids1531
      @crispyraids1531 Месяц назад

      @mtldiecastcafe the price of the chase doesn’t matter if you aren’t going to buy it aftermarket. They are all just 7$ cars. If you feel the need to pay more to collect every chase or something that’s fine, but don’t complain about the price because it’s that mentality that drives up the prices so high to begin with.
      I get what you’re saying about it being a “different car” rexy vs roxy, but in terms of the hotwheels itself, the only differences is the color and the name in the packaging. Rexy vs roxy irl have a ton of differences and distinctions that the hotwheels did not do, they only turned it pink. It’s a recolor, but just cutely renamed, version of the exact same car, just like all the other chases.
      If you want a real Roxy diecast car, minigt and a few other brands are making them I’m pretty sure, and they will have the actual Roxy specific livery and not just the recolor.
      If you want to have it because you want to have every hotwheels, or every chase, that’s totally fine, I’m not going to tell you how to collect. I just think it’s silly to have that mentality and complain about prices when that mentality is what makes scalping so profitable and consistent, and why it’s such a big problem for the hobby.

Please note I say all this stuff but I’m not angry nor a victim. I found other better means to obtain cars and I just tell it like it is. Trust me the hobby has been bad for the entire 45 years I have collected but it most certainly has gotten far worse. My biggest advice to collectors is find other sources. Don’t fall for the crap.
