Couldn’t agree more who even watches fast and furious anymore? I haven’t watched a fast and furious since the first one. I purposely don’t buy cars that are fast and furious packaged.
It really depends on the car. A lot of you ‘JDM’ people scalp the heck out of anything ‘JDM’, so it at least gives you another chance at something like that and you don’t have to pay an egregious price for it. That is perfectly fine for me, in terms of really popular cars that were impossible to find so people have another chance. But, for the cars that were okay in popularity or peg warmers, it’s really annoying. I already had the Stratos Group 5 from Boulevard, but then I had to get another in a 2-pack for a M1 Procar. Similar situation with the BMW in this set and the Countach, they both were not impossible to find when the original versions came out, but now I have to spend an extra $8 for a duplicate? Maybe with the BMW or Stratos Group 5 it’s somewhat different so they don’t have to do a whole new design, but the Countach is a solid color…all that is needed is to just select a different color and I’d be fine with it.
I can’t wait for the Spoon set, it’s going to be impossible to get and that Stratos Zero in silver is awesome, just like the one in Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker film.
i have to assume we consumed different pop culture: the silver Lancia Stratos Zero appeared in MOONWALKER - a Micheal Jackson Compilation/Movie. In fact its Michael himself who turns into the car after he is cornered and needs to escape - and ends up in the bar of the MusicVideo of "SmoothCriminal"
Yep. Never saw the silvia wave or hardbody wave of two packs. Resorted to ebay. I see those two pack waves falling off the pegs in canadian HW YT videos. 🙄🥸☹
@@bearabletable7527what Porsche did they have? I’m disappointed in most Porsche releases by HT in general compared to Majorette. I just picked up a Majorette Porsche 917k, 935 K3, and a 934 Turbo. Also Pink Slips that usually has ugly cars came out with 1:18 scale Porsche 935 K3 and a Porsche RSR Gulf. I bought all these at Target.
20:05 from what i understand, the two sets that got canceled are a SCCA mix and a Rally/Baja mix. There was a Shelby Cobra that was shown, the Kenmeri Skyline was going to have that green deco with the race interior. The Baja/Rally mix was supposed to have the Renault 5 Turbo (the CC one in Modern Classics was apparently a simplified deco of what that Racing one was supposed to be), a Porsche 959 and the James Garner Olds 442.
That Spoon Civic... My fellow Gran Turismo collectors are gonna be eating good. It's ashame they already repackaged the newer Civic though, I have no idea what I'll do with a third one
That Stratos is slept on, it rolls perfectly, it has a good weight to it and it also has such a comfortable design to hold. It's probably the only car I have that I actually play around with on my desk.
Do the repeats ALL DAY LONG.....just change the COLOR is that too much to ask??? I think collectors would speak with their wallets. Isnt that the name of retail improving sales? I will not buy the lambo 2 pack but if that lambo was grey purple green or orange or any other shade of hundreds of colors then I would be buying it no doubt.
A purple countach would actually go so hard I am not bothered by the repeats, as we barely get any premiums where I live, so for me its just another chance to get a cool casting I want. However I understand why it bothers others. Taking your example, the spoon civic literally released like a month ago cmon 😭
i agree: it's ridiculous to have to keep buying the same castings with different paint jobs over and over again just so you can get a new casting...just put the new casting in Premium, and call it a day...
Were totally need more concept car casings, now that Ferrari license is back imagine if they made castings of the Modulo or the FX or original F80 concept car +If there ever was a new color for the Countach it should be blue with a white interior and gold wheels
I find it ridiculous that the hot wheels team is approving the repeats. I get one or 2 max but every pack has a repeat. Also my other gripe is they don’t even really change anything. Lastly PLZ USE OLD DESIGNS FOR REPEATS NOT A CIVIC WE JUST HAD IN BLVD
I hope the BMW M3 GTR will release the Need For Speed Most Wanted version and the Honda EK9 looks beautiful that maybe in the future they will release the Initial D version🤩🤩
John, ask your friends at Hot Wheels to make a Snap-on tool box set for us collectors who display are open cars. Snap-on has done special car’s license in the past, I want tool boxes and service carts.
Repeats are good when it's very desirable cars from a couple of years ago that you otherwise would have to pay alot for on second market but it's getting silly with all these peg warmer repeats or repeats of cars that recently were released, what's the point?
Their repeat excuse is a huge steaming pile. Like they can't make 2 packs with new cars? at least new paintjobs? That would actually make them sell more lmfao Collectors love variations, but no one likes repeated cars in their collections. Fuck value, I couldn't care less about "uh this will drop value".
You say "we as collectors," but for some one that has just started collecting in October of 2024 these are not repeats and are very welcome to collect also with less fuss in actually finding them because "your collectors" are very Greedy and will hoard w.e car is desirable regardless of if they want it.
Please hot wheels it’s the 20th Anniversary of most wanted, does hot wheels even need the license to do a silver and blue bmw? There’s no lettering, if they do do it with the license even better so we can get a matching card art.
The civic one is a bit annoying, I got the Spoon Type R the other week, I'm not spending £20+ to get a yellow EK9. Even though it's one of my hero cars. That 2001 M3 GTR has me HOPING they do a most wanted version. Even a boulevard. To be honest, there's enough NFS hero cars to do a complete 5 set of silver labels or premiums.
It's time for the Need for Speed license to come back. Would be far more diverse and interesting than Fast & Furious.
Yeah
Regardless of the customization, just get the cars based on the game, make it a good casting of it and apply the vinyl of that specific art.
better than that, most castings from NFS, FnF alreary brought in. It would be real easy for mattel to pull out some nice stuff.
Couldn’t agree more who even watches fast and furious anymore? I haven’t watched a fast and furious since the first one. I purposely don’t buy cars that are fast and furious packaged.
@@MaximusOverdrive well let's see if they make castings For Need For Speed
I like the repeats because we have another chance to find something in the wild (that Spoon Civic was scalped to heck and back)
I like repeats to but when they get over used it's like come on we want more cars. about 4 times it's to much

Same

I HAVENT EVEN SEEN THE FIRST MIX😭😭😭😭😭
Never saw the PORSCHE, and the NISSANS sigh. tired of this shit
@bearabletable7527 SAME NEVER SAW THOSE MIXES ETHER

That’s a shame, that sounds like some good themes
Ha! “The wind”. That was funny!
They used the silver version in the movie "Moonwalker" featuring Michael Jackson. Real talk
That m3 gtr obviosly need for speed casting, imagine when hotwheels collab with ea, the price gonna be wild
if that happens, itll be heavily scalped so wont find any so i rather not LOL
That Spoon Civic... My fellow Gran Turismo collectors are gonna be eating good. It's ashame they already repackaged the newer Civic though, I have no idea what I'll do with a third one
It's happening, 2 Spoon Civics and Team BMW Racing, I just can't wait for these.
I expect to she a premium Maserati Shamal, as Gandini designed that too. Especially since he passed away last year.
That Stratos is slept on, it rolls perfectly, it has a good weight to it and it also has such a comfortable design to hold. It's probably the only car I have that I actually play around with on my desk.
don't like that model at all
Well, sir, that makes you a real collector if you roll it around and enjoy your castings

You can probably thank the beancounters for that one. The numbers are great for profit
That Spoon Set will be impossible to find. I hope they pack 2 per case at least.
That M3 GT2 should’ve gone premium for this set, or any time before. It’s one of the best BMW castings they have imo
I hope the BMW M3 GTR will release the Need For Speed Most Wanted version and the Honda EK9 looks beautiful that maybe in the future they will release the Initial D version🤩🤩

I already saw these for sale a few weeks ago on Offer up but they were asking for 80 for all three.
Thumbs up because they finally put mirrors on an E46 M3! If you don’t believe me look at Boulevard set 111-115, and M3 RLC(s)
need all of these
I badly want the BMW and the Lamborghini and Lancia 2 packs!
The Lancia really is a stunner
Has the EK9 civic been in premium before? I know it’s been mainline.
finally an M3 GTR
Most Wanted M3 silver blue, my dream car ❤❤
I might sell my kidney to get that GT-R fr
They could have used the Sadokist BMW livery on that M3. It stands out a bit better than the usual…
Good to know i'll probably never get my hands on the bmw two pack.
You’ll never hear me say too many Porsches… 😂
The Lancia windows are bit to dark. Wouldn't mind the e46 in phoenix gold.

Blackmoon Rising looking car
Disappointed that the Lambo doesn’t have opening doors. The Majorette Lambo has the opening doors.
Does your Countach😊
Tesla needs to build that Lancia! That is a perfect fit for them.
Great BMW collection ❤️🔥🥇🏆🎖️❤️🔥
Very cool castings lamley group
Oh it is a nice set
Okay im too fast here
I'm too furious. 😅
neve even seen mix 1. or hammer drop
Chance of finding the Honda 2 pack at your local store ? 0.0% chance.
The “bimmers” are cool, the Hondas, meh, but the “wedge set”? Yeah baby!

So many bmw castings that hasn’t made it into premium and they repeat this casting….
Lancia Stratos Zero = Door stop. Is there an actual interior in it?
Is it me or does the Lancia not have an interior?
Honestly on this particular one I couldn’t care less
And once again black plastic for the glass area 😂
They could've taken inspiration from: ruclips.net/video/7n7BgQEtcD8/видео.htmlsi=gL99tVmoEo175K1q
Only the Honda's have H_t Wh__ls
The lancia stratos zero??? Im remember see this car and obviusly i see in MOONWALKER movie MICHAEL JACKSON transform in this car 😮😮😮😮😮
Too many lazy cash grab repeats. They don't even bother to change the wheels lmao
The repeats aren't an issue if you missed the casting first time around, not everybody sees/buys everything
The only ones complaining are resellers!
Exactly, listen to what he said "we lose some value on these cars" lol
100% not true. I’m not a reseller and the constant repeats piss me off. I don’t need 3 or more of everything
There's an awful lot of yak, yak, yak. Not very interesting.
