As always great finds !! I too have been finding some new castings as well saw some dump bins in walmart of 2023s which blew my mind. We rarely saw older casting on the pegs 5 -10 years ago like we do today. Makes me wonder if over production is in full force these past 3 years. Hope you had a great New Years !! take care and thanks for sharing the video.
Evening Walter and doggos! Happy New Year my friend. I'm a little behind on this vid, always with the OT - but it helps with the hobby! I've been taking it easy the past month on the hunting, but I'm ready to start the year out Strong, gonna go hunting on my days off. Good luck out there everyone, some really good stuff coming this year! Full Peg Vibes!
I keep track of the collection (at least the opened stuff) on a Google Docs spreadsheet, as well as a note of the current year releases on my phone so I can keep track of what I'm looking for and what I've already picked up
@@IanAdams1968 it's crazy hard 2 keep track of them all lol. I would love a site that each person cam have there collection. Be able to compare cars . And variances. Trade . And such .
Happy New Year! What a great video I love your vibe. Great finds and I to collect the F&F cars but I chase the 1/24 scale. I have to comment on your coffee mug. Love it and maybe your next video you can show a close up of your coffee cup of the day. Keep on keeping on. Love it!
Hey Happy New Year! 🎉 I could help a little with the HP stuff, the winged horses are called Abraxan, the 2 blue peeps were female students and the 2 others were half gaints, Olympe Maxime the female students head mistress and Hagrid from Hogwarts. Hoping to find some good stuff on the pegs, 2024 M case is hitting some places here.
Sweet finds! Bought two sets of that pop culture because the 80th anniversary, but mainly because the Aston Martin Vanquish. I’ve loved that car since Casino Royale. Also the Scooby Doo van is sweet too✌️
Hey Walter! Happy new year! Don’t really do New Year’s resolutions, but I’ll be spending less on Hot Wheels if they just keep releasing repeats on new cardboard. Sick of same old stuff. May start hunting in reverse. Looking for older cars that came out before the year I started collecting. I love the old pop culture sets they use to have like Universal Monsters, the candy series, the cereal brands. All I see now is K.I.T.T. , Snoopy and Peanuts, Scooby Doo, Yellow Submarine and Beatles, etc. really wish they would get some new licenses and put out some new stuff. But, it’s not about me! It’s about that money grab. But maybe if the stores in my town would stock something once in a while I could find something. We have one Target and if you have a job, you will never find anything there because you can’t hug the front door at 8:00 a.m. we have a couple Walmarts and they stock once per quarter. The dollar general’s about 2 times per year, the family dollar once a year. It’s getting bad and more collectors are jumping in. But, like you, I love the hobby but it’s getting so tough to find anything. Wishing you an awesome 2025! Thanks again for your videos and the time you give of yourself to us viewers!
The hunt is almost as good as finding what you're looking for, today was my bday so I decided to go a little farther a field and I pulled out some cds I used to listen to and burnt ones I made 20 plus yrs ago for the trip. Didn't buy a single thing, not even a mainline but the drive was awesome, tripping on memories listening to stuff I completely forgot about.
Thanks man, everywhere seems to be tapped out after Christmas but I got more than enough stuff over the holiday. It’s crazy how you can remember what song plays next on cds you haven’t listened to in years and what you remember while listening.
Real question again is, how many of that F&F is metal base cars? Because in beginning silver series looked promising in that department, Hot Wagons for example are all metal/metal. Then it gets very mixed, like Vintage Racing series mix 2 where only Boss is all metal. New Mustang set is mostly plastic bases and so on. Dissapointing to say at least. But I guess it's good that even some models are all metal... Anyway, happy new year.
I couldn't answer that. I do understand that they already some tooling for some castings in the line-up. With that, they will use as much of the leftover components as possible. It's a good financial decision for costing.
That wrangler is a beauty...a must have for sure...i agree with you walter regarding opening more in 2025...i need to enjoy those diecast more...yes i will kerp some sealed but i have alot that is sealed and shouldnt be...would also make me more room to store some...great video as always my guy 💪👍
I love the Manx and the fact Mattel is wasting no time releasing the variants my only gripe is where most HWs are over sized this one seems too small. Almost delicate or fragile especially with the removable plastic top. Otherwise it’s a fantastic casting. I also agree the HW Bugatti game has been on point of late! I Can’t wait for the baby blue and white Veyron in the Hammer Drop series! Keep up the great work, Walter, and happy hunting in the New Year! 🎉
On New years Eve, i found the new for 2025 matchbox 5 pack. It is called the Italian roads. There is a lamborghini miura, a fiat 500X, a fiat 500 turbo, the 1965 alfa giuila sprint GTA, and the alfa 2016 Guilla. A nice basic set. As for 2025, i will get what i like. I would like to say i am slowing down, but time will tell where it goes.
Seems like with HW there was nothing for most of 2024, then a whole bunch released the last couple of months. Specifically the premium/Car Culture lines. I didn't see World Tour until mid-summer, and I believe that was the "first" 2024 release set.
My new years resolution isn’t to buy LESS diecast but to STOP buying from the secondary market. Instead, Build a better community of fellow collectors. And do trades or buy at store cost.
Happy New Year to you Walter, Oso, Jackson and to the extended family that includes at least some Guinea pigs I believe. I prefer a complete car (tampos) over something id'd as a Chase piece. My New Year's resolution also includes staying up to date with The Hotline of Diecast. Walter is most certainly a content leader in this space. And I’m not trying to act like I know you. To me you are a very unique and valuable personality on RUclips and I have learned so much about the industry. Happy New Year again and let’s crush 2025. And I agree with you on Charlize Theron. Check out Atomic Blonde - bam.
You had me at Atomic blonde. Lol. Truly appreciate ya Kev. I'm just trying to do something I felt was needed, and you've affirmed I'm doing it. Big thanks
Hay Walter that's cool man. Went hunting on New years day. Found the train at hobby lobby. Happy New Year!
The hogwarts express? Awesomesauce
Very cool show. My favorites are the VW Kombi and the Manx on the card. I open pretty much everything. Have a great New Year. Cheers🍻🏂
Sending those full peg vibes your way! Happy new year!
Happy New Year Hotline Diecast🎉🎉🥳🥳
Happy New Year!
Thank You👍👍

They've ramped up production absolutely
Hello Walter. Happy New
year to you and your pets. Love them. And Happy peg hunting. Keep the show alive
Ayyy! Appreciate the well wishes, and will do my best to keep the show going as long as I can. 😊

We've all had to re-shift per say. Good to hear you've got a plan, also.
I keep track of the collection (at least the opened stuff) on a Google Docs spreadsheet, as well as a note of the current year releases on my phone so I can keep track of what I'm looking for and what I've already picked up
I wouldn't expect any less from you, Doctor.
Good idea!

No, not really. Perhaps I can share that with you guys sometime in the future
Happy new year Walter. Hope this year is definitely better.
2024 was one for the books. Sending well wishes your way.
The dude who said "Do I look like a boss" he worked for Drago, he drove the F-Bomb. Happy new year!

Hi Walter
Happy New Year! That would be great if you could show a video with Transforms.
I've done one, a couple months back. It's called not canceled
New. Fast. and. Furious. Set. and. More
Yas! These are cool castings, Kenny
I happen to have the display case Mercedes 190 e evo. Not sure I want to get rid of it. Ebay has a few very reasonably priced. 👍 NJ 👹
Totally understand. It's a gem. I'm just realizing I have a community of my own here. And I should support it. So trying to "keep it in the family".
@@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 no doubt, nothing but RESPECT 👍 NJ 👹
❤ Toyota GR ❤
Cool car
Happy New year Walter. Can't believe I'm first. May your diecast hunting will be better then in 2024.

Yeah, there's a need to perform firing the holiday shopping season
If they make Lettys interceptor from fast 6, what category would that be in?
British horsepower? They've done one that already actually. Idk
Great video and happy new year to you too
Thanks Zach! Hope all is well on your planet
Wooooooh that 66 Ford Fairlane is a must have !
Great addition to the collection for sure
My new years resolution isn’t to buy LESS diecast but to STOP buying from the secondary market. Instead, Build a better community of fellow collectors. And do trades or buy at store cost.
I get it. I am focusing on supporting the community I created here. You guys are my secondary market, and am buying here.
Amen to that!
The Ultra Magnus is coming out in the next Fleet track set!
I've seen it captured somewhere on Facebook already. I'm on the look out
Great video man. Gotta get back on the F&F cars
They are probably somemofnthe most important current castings
Happy New Year Walter. Thanks for the great videos.
You guys watching is what makes em great. ☺️
Yes, you should put the track into these videos again
👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Looking forward to some 2025 scores. 🔥✌️
New year, New hobby.

Happy New Years bud. No resolution here, just enjoy the hobby n life.
That's the way

It's clean
How come NONE of the diecast companies never made a Oldsmobile 98?
@@tripyramidpictures9224 idk.
I went pegn yesterday to end the year. Bought bout 30 mains. Nothin special. Fun, tho.
Its the hunt
Happy 2025 Walter & everyone. Hopefully it is! 🍻
Sending the our best your way

Thank you
Most welcome my G
I'm buyin more.
Sounds like a hobby
Case E of the hot wheels looks like 90% of the cars are plastic. I can see why the premiums have top billing on your show
I absolutely appreciate the silver series, and premiums. My mainline game is through the roof. Haven't discovered any new cases recently
Happy New Year
Happy new year
I’m only going to buy things I collect
Trying to get away from just buying
Random Stuff
Yeah, the random impulse buys have to stop for me also
Charlize Theron is the most beautiful woman in Hollywood and Eva Mendez is no joke too
So many incredible women on the big screen. Couldn't even start to list, cause it would go on for days
I use I collect. $15
?
It's an application that I use on my phone to keep track of all my diecast.
