I customized a Gulf Ford Galaxie to look like the one my dad drove when I was a kid. I painted it white with red interior. I'm sending it to him for Christmas.
Well it would be better if they included it in some type of hot hatch set, hey that would be a good idea Hotwheels should make a Car Culture that has all hot hatch like Volkswagen Golf MK7, Honda Civic Type R, Honda Civic EF, Ford Focus RS, and Fiat 500 Abarth
@@the_random9718 he is probably refering to the 917k and or 917lh because those are some of the most iconic cars to ever bear the gulf baby blu and orange racing liveries. a ford gt40 wouldnt have hurt either in my opinion, but whatever.
Did anyone realize that the card art on Hotwheels and Matchbox cars is better than the car itself while for TLV and Kyosho, the car is better than the card art.
Awesome car culture gulf racing set you open up and reviewed congrats.👍 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.👍
I like them all. I love all car culture cars and trucks. I'm picking up the Laurel. One of the 3 JDM cars that i actually like. Laurel from hot wheels, Kenmeri Skyline 2000 GT-R, Skyline R34. I have 1 or 2 variations of the Skyline 2000 GT-R.
I just recently started collecting I open all mine cause I mean like cars ya gotta enjoy them or what's the fun lol but I have the fairlane as well I love that one
At least the Golf has headlight and tail light decos but I think they should have done a Beetle...the Mc Lauren, Mustang, and Laurel will be hoarded....I wonder when it will hit the Target in my area because the Walmart kind of sucks....I never saw the Car Culture haulers in my area...the last car culture set was available but the Shelby Daytona was AWOL....which means it got hoarded before it hit the pegs or right after....you always give the best info...you are the one who said the crates go directly to the big lot retailers...this is a good time for peg hunting ...I just have to go early because other wise, I get flanked by parents buying fantasy casting heavy sets and tracks for their kids...but giving me dirty looks like I shouldn't be in that section or I am in their way....so I look through the pegs of the Mainline quickly and focus on the Premium models to see what I don't have and roll out..if you get a chance to visit my channel...watch my video and I will be posting more content soon!.
It's a great set, I think some collectors are tired of gulf livery, the McLaren maybe impossible to fine in stores, one it's a McLaren and two the dark gulf tampos are different which makes the car even more desirable, in my opinion of course
Why is it that the “weak” link was the hardest to find. I never have bought more than 1 car in a car culture series but I tried to buy all 5 because I love these liveries and I couldn’t find the damn golf
I love that F1 GTR... As for the whole set I am not that into it.. But I do love the GTR and Boss Mustang! I am a car culture completist though so I will definitely have the whole set.
The McLaren is my favorite. Would love to see similar sets in the future with other "iconic" paint schemes, but too many of them are associated with tobacco or alcohol.
Love the mclaren and bought the mclaren! the rest can warm the shelfs lol. I looked up the mclaren f1 gulf on youtube and wow is it ever a 1-1 match to the real car!!!!!!! I am a Camaro fan so the mustang is a no go. I see a lot of cool mustangs so lucky I like camaros or I would be broke and have shelves full of mustangs.
The McLaren is absolute fire!!! Not my favorite style Mustang but the casting looks great. Going to pick that one up as well. I’ll pass on the others. Although the Laurel is nice. Just not sure I need a third
Great set John, but a new model that released in the set of exotics series and never seen before or in the past is the lamborghini centenario roadster and it is a big name for doesn't it and really great set of the year and merry christmas.
Bought the Laurel on line already I'll buy the McLaren if I can find it on the pegs or at a good price. the rest all are nice but I wont go out of my way to buy them unless off pegs. I do buy from Wheelcollectors when they have things I want and likely wouldn't have known about them without your channel.
An inspired choice instead of the VW Golf would would have been the Alf Romeo Montreal (1970-'77), although of course a new casting would have been needed. Maybe in a future Car Culture set?
Nice set. But I think Hot Wheels needs to come out with a Car Culture rally set. Need more Subarus to collect. Would also like to to see cars from the Group B rally era.
Good selections of cars for this set, but the Mustang Boss 302 and the Fiat 500 are my favorites. The VW Golf casting maybe be a questionable choice, but it looks x100 better than any mainline version will ever be. Definitely getting the whole set, as i'm big fan of Gulf livery. And i find it hard to beileve that Ford Transit Supervan is a peg-warmer, as it's actually my all-time favorite Gulf casting. Thanks for the Preview Lamley!
Another great review! Thank you, I've been waiting for these...I'm lukewarm on the Nissan and the Fiat, but I am on the lookout for the McLaren, love that one, and the Golf looks real nice, plus how can you not want that Mustang? Fiat might grow on me, but I don't like that the engine door is cast in the open position...never to close...
The McLaren is a MUST, but I am gonna try going for the whole set. Just need to know, even if it is approximate, when this set is gonna hit so I don't miss them. Anyone? 🤔
they come for a period of 1-2 months then gone. sometimes @ the end of the years i do find that they sometimes bring out some of the old stuff from the beginning of the year so there is always hope
@@monsieurdiecasts3393 oh believe me i know how JDM has taken over the diecast world (been collecting over 20 years, heh). It's just the Laurel seems too out of place for this theme. 3 race cars, 1 cool pun (though there are rally Golfs I believe), and a "looks over performance" car. The series has been pretty good at sticking with a theme each mix, and then here the Laurel is just out of place.
I customized a Gulf Ford Galaxie to look like the one my dad drove when I was a kid. I painted it white with red interior. I'm sending it to him for Christmas.
I'm doing the same thing for my uncle
I love this set!! I can't wait to have it. But I am finding it hard to understand why they didn't include a Porsche 🤔
At least they did include a German Car :)
@@the_random9718 The VW is a good car but a poor choice for the set

Fuck kyosho
Just got this set at my diecast shop today. It’s so sweet
I know it might seem weird but my favorite one is actually the VW Golf
I totally agree
Good luck finding one, ther only ONE in each case. The scalpers are already all over it... 😤
@Zil Co i already found 2 of them, one to open, one to keep carded, and I found them a long time ago
My Walmart has employees that are scalpers. The other one never even saw this set. They are just now showing up.... picked over. Of course lol.
I found mine at target so try there

This set is lit!!!😎😎😎
A MK1 VW Golf would have been so much better. The Mustang and McClaren are the winners.
You are totally right!It would be a lot better!
I agree, but i do love that little Fiat. So cute and so detailed compared to alot of other cars
I just recently started collecting I open all mine cause I mean like cars ya gotta enjoy them or what's the fun lol but I have the fairlane as well I love that one
cant wait to start looking for these when they start hitting the east coast in 2-3 months!!!
I would be very happy with just the Mustang😊
Super excelentes modelos. AME CADA UNO DE ELLOS PERO EN ESPECIAL EL McLaren F1 :´)
You can never have enough Orange Realriders! Great set
Got my set already and all cars are amazing
I got the whole set today!The McLaren is the best!

The F1 is actually amazing. I only have two others but I’m glad I’m able to get this one cause it’s the best imo
The Gulf Golf pun is too good to pass up LOL

Why is it that the “weak” link was the hardest to find. I never have bought more than 1 car in a car culture series but I tried to buy all 5 because I love these liveries and I couldn’t find the damn golf
CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS SET
I can't wait for this to get to local stores... Definitely getting all 5. I like the Golf a lot, but that might be because I like VW a lot.
The Mclaren and Mustang are really good! This wouldve been a prime opportunity to do a premium Porsche 917LH though..
The GulfGolf looks nice
I was gonna say they had to add the GulfGolf....
This is the greatest set in awhile
Laurel? I only hear Yanny...?!?
i hear laurel
😂🤣
I love that F1 GTR... As for the whole set I am not that into it.. But I do love the GTR and Boss Mustang! I am a car culture completist though so I will definitely have the whole set.
Ancioso de ver los nuevos casting de gulf,saludos de Paraguay, hotwheels ya lo rompió este 2018 veremos que se viene 😎
Bought the set, i like them all.
Happy to have any or all! But is the McLaren expecting snow?
The McLaren is my favorite. Would love to see similar sets in the future with other "iconic" paint schemes, but too many of them are associated with tobacco or alcohol.
Love the mclaren and bought the mclaren! the rest can warm the shelfs lol. I looked up the mclaren f1 gulf on youtube and wow is it ever a 1-1 match to the real car!!!!!!!

any idea what this set will cost? I live in Indonesia and have a chance to buy the set for $50.00 any info would be appreciated
The McLaren is absolute fire!!! Not my favorite style Mustang but the casting looks great. Going to pick that one up as well. I’ll pass on the others. Although the Laurel is nice. Just not sure I need a third
It's bothering me so much with how small the wheels are on the Nissan Laurel. Considering that the car is way bigger than the Fiat 500D Modificado.
Carnage GMD gotta have that ghetto riced up “mah rims cost more than mah car” look.
Great set John, but a new model that released in the set of exotics series and never seen before or in the past is the lamborghini centenario roadster and it is a big name for doesn't it and really great set of the year and merry christmas.
When are they going to do a Maritni, Rothmans, Castrol, etc?
They could do Brumos for all the Porsches, have a different Porsche car culture set dedicated to Brumos.
Awesome Cars
I like the VW . I will pick up the Laurel and the Fiat too. Not sure about the Mustang or the Mclaren . But I love car culture .
I found them all except the VW at a local Target today.
Hope we actually see it in stores
i might have to just give my euro style vw mk7 to my son after seeing this one. way better job on the decos
Hot wheels needs to step there game up in the premium Diecast world. All these castings lack so much.
I ordered it!I LOVE the cars!
Hey I’ve been wanting to know what rotating table you use, I really need one and the one you have looks good
I just got the mustang and I love it.

Now they need to make a moon eyes set, or greddy set, or advan set for car culture.
My favorite in this set is the Mustang!
ur lucky, they warming the pegs
@@dankmemer2774 good news cause i dont got it
@@mikaxd5871 really? u from the us? here in so-cal, theres like 7-10 each target i go. the mclaren was the hardest to find for me
@@dankmemer2774 no i live in Denmark and those premium sets never show up here but if im lucky there gonna show up in Germany;)
MikaXD well i hope u find them eventually, it’s a nice set.
awesome set mate.. I don't thik VW is that bad as you mentioned though!! anyways hope these will be available in Australia soon!! Merry Christmas!
Awesome and i love it
l was in Wal Mart yesterday and they had the Laurel, Mustang, and Fiat. l only had enough cash for one, so l got the Laurel.

will the gulf car culture set be worth some money in the future?

Michael Dunning they have a walmart exclusive rally set
Got the mclaren F1 GTR :)

For me that Vw is the best choice :)
I love collected car culture!
You knock the Golf but that is an impressive car in its R trim.
Gona have to order this set the scalpers will be hawking
Dam I need this set so bad I have a big collection to of gulf cars
Well that McLaren has a plastic wing...one of the mainline ones has a metal one i think it is the Black one
A gt40 would have been nice
The Stang and the f1 are my targets
Another great review! Thank you, I've been waiting for these...I'm lukewarm on the Nissan and the Fiat, but I am on the lookout for the McLaren, love that one, and the Golf looks real nice, plus how can you not want that Mustang? Fiat might grow on me, but I don't like that the engine door is cast in the open position...never to close...
That is how they raced, to keep the engine cool.
Only buying two of them. Mclaren and boss.
I want them all.
The McLaren is a MUST, but I am gonna try going for the whole set. Just need to know, even if it is approximate, when this set is gonna hit so I don't miss them. Anyone? 🤔
I found them all except the Golf MK7.
I'll Grab them all except the golf lol
Anyone can tell me, what the number stamped on the card means, like, mine has L48 on it, it means the box it came from?
I love metal bases. You didn't say the Mini GT - Mclaren Senna, had a metal base. Kind of , wish you had.
Golf looks the best in Gulf
Prove me wrong guys but that Gulf-livery Golf sure has a peg-warmer's potential.
I doubt it. I found this set today and only the Golf was missing.
Strangely, here in NZ the McLaren & Fiat are peg warmers & the Gulf Golf was second most popular after the Laurel.
@@johnnyutah6056 thats because the golf is 1 per case and thr mustang is 3 per case, which is why the golf is gone first.
I like the original 5 you had out first, I like the Gulf paint scheme but I can take or leave this series.
Do they only bring one stock of these and then when gone that’s it? Or do they ship more through out the year? Thanks!
they come for a period of 1-2 months then gone. sometimes @ the end of the years i do find that they sometimes bring out some of the old stuff from the beginning of the year so there is always hope
I'd rate the Mustang then the Laurel and then the Golf.
Who's here after mclaren and gulf is announced to be multi year partnership of f1?
My Wal-Mart just had them 30 mins ago I bought a case of them
I love the McLaren as well its so weird though its a peg warmer in all my stores in arizona crazy bastys lol
How wheels India have confirmed that Car Culture Sets will be coming next year in India just hope they sell Japan Historics n this Gulf series ,,
Love the mustang
I like the Laurel, Mustang, and McLaren-I’ll pass on the other two
At last... Only a real riders can bring back one Mustang Boss with the right sized wheels
Paducah ky has these in stock walmart
I love Car Culture, just not all of them.
They put a Golf in but no GT40? What the heck Mattel?
Yes like them all except for the VW
I live in Australia I been trying to get all the cars but no luck can u please help me get the set...
Please let me now...thanks
dood, did u not hear him, they haven't been out yet, relax
