    Thank you very much for supporting the channel. I very much enjoy helping out fellow diecast collectors with sourcing awesome products to display your collection.
    Personally, I will be taking away A LOT of positivity from this video myself. I really wanted to make a full video which tells the story of an RLC member from the UK who set a timer on his phone ready to snipe a Hot Wheels release that I know everyone in the diecast community was very excited to get their hands on to add into their diecast collection.
    After placing my initial order online I then patiently waited a total of 17 days for my RLC car to make the long overseas journey to me. In this video diecast collector viewers have be warned that what arrived with me will shock you.
    And... as I said in the video, drop a like if you also agree that Mattel should step up their packaging and shipping game. Let me know your thoughts about this in the comments.
    I hope you found this video both entertaining and informative. I had a lot of fun making and sharing this one with you guys for sure. Make sure you stick around until the end of the video as I have a personal thank you that I would like all of my subscribers to see. You guys are awesome!
    Stay lucky fellow diecast collector and I'll see you in the next one. For everyone who has read down this far I can tell you that my next upload is all about some of the newest mainlines to hit our stores here in the UK! Looking forward to making this one. See you there. Wish you a great day.

      No way! Did the cars ever show up dude? Which ones did you buy? It’s just soooo disappointing that we pay a membership fee to just feel like the level of care in packing orders isn’t there. If you watch literally any other of my unboxing videos those things are close to home proof! Happy I opened mine. Unhappy I have to feel worried the next time I want something… not great hey.

      Nice man. Those are absolute classics too. I remember when super treasures weren’t a thing and you could get a mustang TH with the opening good. Another epic casting for sure. Shame many of them have now been retooled and that feature taken away. The Advan Skyline goes hard and I’m super happy I got to open mine. But yeah. Super pricey now for opening doors and such. That chase camaro in vintage racing club is great. I hope Hot wheels will release more Camaros this year. Did you pick up this skyline yourself mate?

      Hey man. Appreciate you stopping by the video and for leaving an awesome comment too. Learning about all the different prices from around the global is super interesting to me. 90 is huge bro for a 25 dollar car. That’s £43 for me and here I am moaning about having to pay £34 / $70NZD… I grabbed myself the G wagon and it’s likely I will be reporting on its journey in another video when it arrives. I had a lot of fun making this one and it also feels like ALL Hot Wheels collectors are talking more openly about RLC quality / pricing and shipping. I was chatting to another collector and Mattel are changing the shipping box this year apparently. We’ll have to see. The trouble is… I don’t like the RISK when I order an RLC car…. but I love the REWARD… how long have you been collecting for mate? Any favourite castings in particular?

    Custom, I can't tell you how much this video helped me out! My RLC Advan Skyline also came in terrible shape, and I'm about two states away from where they are shipped on the East Coast here in the US. The rear window was all beat up around the edges, the blister card edges were also scuffed, and there was a random gunky splotch right above the image of the vehicle. That splotch has only grown since I received the vehicle. Looks like someone didn't wash their hands while packing or inspecting. 😬 I tried to remove it with a bit of Dawn, but that only made it worse. 🙈 In your honor, I'm gonna crack it open. I managed to locate the Advan MBK Van, so I've got a couple I can toss in the Advan garage I ordered from AliExpress just now -- which I'd also like to thank you for pointing out! This will be my first display ever. 🙌

      Yooooo! Ah man, that’s truly a horror story I wasn’t prepared for reading. Ouch! I’ve had that before where the card looks like someone at the factory took it on their lunch break to look at 😂 reading that you scored a display and that you’re going to make an epic collection of Advan beauties has truly made my day bro. Go for it! Andddd you’ll get to see the opening good for yourself which looks awesome displayed open. Super happy this video inspired you dude. That’s amazing and makes all the hours of editing and filming worthwhile. I hope I didn’t start something though as those displays goes hard and they’re inexpensive really. I’m having fun adding more and more to my studio and we be making another video in the future about other displays. Oh, and before I go. The usb cable isn’t the longest so you might want to pick up an extension cable. If you’ve seen my other display video then you’ll know what I mean. Enjoy the skyline bro! It’s just cardboard. Wish you a great day mate. Did you pick up a beetle or the McLaren F1? Wish the wheels were nicer on the McLaren for sure. Appreciate your awesome comment 🚗💨

    I never had a shipping problem with the RLC. Web site problems, YES! I noticed a lot of RLC cars are distributed from Pennsylvania and I live in NJ. They don't have far to go. They are also shipped via FedEx in the US. I think the overseas shipping is what damaged your package. It's unfortunate. Try writing a complaint letter to Mattel and see if they can package overseas orders better.

    • @customcollects
      @customcollects  2 месяца назад

      You’re lucky man and I’m pleased to learn you aren’t worried about shipping. That’s a nice place to be. Thanks for the great insight. Do you also get shipped one bag of air? Or even nothing at all? I’m super friendly with the courier that handed me the package so I know it wasn’t her. It must have been on its journey overseas to the UK. Either way. It’s still an issue I wanted to raise in this video and anyone can fall victim to a similar situation to me. No one is immune. I’m just mostly sad because ALL Diecast collectors who buy things even off eBay know that the seller will try their best and 9 times out of 10 the package arrive bomb proof!! Haha. Mattel need to step their game up and I’d like to see it going forward. Maybe I will write to them. Anyway. Appreciate the awesome comment. Which RLC release are you looking forward to next? Wish you a great day 🚗💨

You are very very lucky to have never experienced any problems. I’ve heard from collectors who live in the next state over getting wrecked products too. Mattel need to step up their packaging game for sure. Especially because if we buy something online from a wholesaler website and even stuff from eBay they arrive close to bomb proof lol!

    I feel bad that your RLC purchase arrived with damage. I live in the US & I've had a couple of issues with Mattel deliveries but nothing that bad. The first issue from Mattel was an RLC delivery that arrived with the tape cut & the second had no tape at all, thankfully my orders were intact. My worst diecast delivery horror was my first Kaido House BLKLTD that came in a box that looked as though it had been run over. Everything in the box was damaged but not to the point of totally ruined. Yes, Mattel needs to step up their shipping game and couriers need to be a lot more careful.

Pleased you found some more fun content to enjoy. That’s great. Also I hope everything okay with you and you’re living somewhere safe bro. Did you have to move recently? Sending you good vibes from the UK brother AND fellow Diecast collector. Appreciate you! My comments at the end of this video truly go out to you mate. Be well, stay safe and stay lucky 🚗💨

      Thanks man. Appreciate the support! You’re so so right too. I’m actually super friendly and chatting with the courier service that delivered this package to my house so I’m reluctant to blame them and she’s such a nice lady and super cool too. It’s just when I think about all of my orders from online retailers and there’s packing peanuts and tons of bubble wrap and it’s close to bomb proof 😂 I’m just here to highlight my experience and share this awesome casting with you guys. Did you pick one of these bad boy skylines up for yourself? Any other RLC releases that you’re looking forward to next? Wish you a great day mate. Thanks for the awesome comment 👍🚗💨

      Nice man. You’ll have to let me know if you rate the McLaren when you get it. I wish the wheels were just a chrome design and I’d buy one instantly. Those grey 5 spokes make it a pass for me sadly. It’s a solid 8/10 though for sure mate. Nice chatting with you dude 🚗💨

    I'd consider it a broken toy. You don't purchase the car alone. The WHOLE toy consists of the Art Card, the blister AND finally the car.
    It's a defective toy. Apply return policy and demand refund or replacement.

      You’re right to feel passionate about this issue bro. Right now. Today. I’m happy to move on with my life and like I said in the video. Mattel just destroyed the tiny bit of thought that I had for keeping mine mint on card. I’m not afraid to open anything as I’ve been collecting for years and from the very beginning open stuff is the best part. Cars look wildly different unboxed as I’m sure you know for yourself too. The main issue here is just the lack of effort. I’m sure Mattel have pockets deep enough to slide a couple of sheets of bubble wrap and a handful of packing peanuts in for their paying members who are very used to receiving online orders sent with care by sellers. Most of the things I buy on eBay arrive with me and I’d consider them bomb proof! lol. Hope you enjoyed this one mate. My final closing comments at the end are very much directed towards you mate. Always a pleasure to chat with you and thanks for the support too. You’re the best 🚗💨

      In my case, I don't own a single RLC yet since I'm not working yet hahahaha, I also don't want to spend that much money for now, maybe in a future RLC that I like a lot I will try.
      On situations like these is why I'm so glad I collect them opening them. Even if I keep the card because I like how it looks, at least it won't hurt to us as much as a close collector to have the blister so smashed.

I’ve always been opening mine since I was a kid and I do truly understand collections that are 85% in their packaging. Ever car looks infinitely different outside of the box. You can’t really see the true beauty in a blister. Or maybe I’m going to start paying the eBay tax so I have own two RLC releases open and with the card art haha. Nice chatting with you dude.
