Lamley Saturday Showcase: Hot Wheels One-and-Done Models

[@KobyHarris]

Toyota has restricted almost all of it's licensing, toys and games. Forza was able to snag one last one for F7. They claimed games and toys are part of the reason for their lack of sales...

[@YaelOrteez]

Yes finally a Toyota

[@wolftmfg]

VIII-IX Media what a BS...

[@serkankaratepe9305]

and now they are back.

[@bogdanoff1993]

I hope they get the Ferrari license back

[@SchaferTheRicer]

probably not, knowing Ferrari being Ferrari its probably REALLY expensive to get a licensing from them

[@bogdanoff1993]

idk I like some of their models

[@CaptainFALKEN]

Even NFS lost Ferrari since Hot Pursuit 2 when NFS was good because NFS Underground came out and was not only a disgrace to Ferrari, but was a bad game for car guys. Then it came back in NFS Rivals more than a decade later. Looks lile Ferrari only wants to accept games with good visuals at time periods is all.

[@The_Bomb627]

Yeah I still cant believe they gave it to Maisto

[@ntbui8887]

@@The_Bomb627 I Think they gave it to Tomica. Correct me if I am wrong.

[@dankmemer2774]

1:46 i got the agera r. Not just any though. The norm of the agera's base usually says ccx. I got the rarer variation that has the correct agera r on the base instead of ccx.

[@mariorodriguez5975]

Edonis, Ford GT 90, Saleen S7, Audi Avus and Peugeot cars.

[@epitomeofoops]

Someone who (used to, at least) lives in Bismarck, ND owns a black Vector. I don't remember who, but I heard he used to work for the company. I saw it drive by as a little kid, but no one believed me when I described how it looked. Around 2013 I saw it again at a Dairy Queen, but that time I was with family, so I knew I wasn't crazy! I'd really like to meet the guy if he still lives nearby, and see that incredible car again.

[@LilPolemistisXL]

I had a one hit wonder from 2004, a 'Tooned 1964 Chevrolet Impala. I went to one of my school colleagues's house one day and I left that there. I hope it's still there so I can pick it up again

[@carcrasher88YT]

The HW Wiki has a pretty decent list of 'One Hit Wonders' on their site, where the ones listed were literally released in one version and never again, hence why the TT and the Aston aren't on that page, because of the color variations. The list includes the original Bad Mudder (that one was a licensing issue, not with Ford, but with the real versions' driver, Robby Gordon), along with a stunning Neo-Classics Purple Passion Convertible (not licensed, but Purple Passion has always been a very likable model), which only 11,000 were made, the Holden Commodore VN, which, at the same time, is and isn't a one-and-done, since the street version saw one release, while a police version was made and saw numerous releases (and became a common model for cheap Chinese toy companies to copy for all plastic models sold at dollar stores), and a few carryover Corgi castings. The Quattroporte, both then and now, seem more like it would have fit Matchbox rather than HW, which may have been a reason for the one-and-done status. I guarantee that if that had been an MBX casting, we'd have seen multiple versions by now.

[@fusionattraction4044]

Proud to say i have the Maserati, Vector, and the Nissan 2020 Vision

[@petertobin8938]

B.A.T. = Berlina Aero Technica, Alfa did several of them in the late 50's early 60's

[@azbatslambo]

The later version of the last Ferrari 5 pack had the F40 without an opening engine bay, the body was one solid piece.

[@pliantimpala7858]

Got ahold of the Agera RS when it was new. Such a cool car

[@rickchavarria9663]

We need more Maseratis and that Ferrari license

[@danbi2000]

bring back the TTS

[@1TZNUTTY]

I'm hoping for more Koenigsegg releases in the future

[@YaelOrteez]

Nick Garzoli same I think people would be more interested in hot wheels

[@mateoroz2374]

Your wish in now granted

[@collind328]

Markus Patients lmaooo I love when jackasses like you are wrong, I know this comment is a year old but jeez

[@TheKingRacer007]

Maserati MC12 could've have count in this showcase

[@ShadyMrk]

TheKingRacer007 that one was a mystery model around 2012

[@TheKingRacer007]

Well this model was released in 2005. Came out in white with 2 wheels variations and in 2007 in the mystery black blister era and from then vanished. We never saw that one again.

[@hellionus]

I have one.

[@iwillb3inurcmm3nts3ction7]

I have a loose white one and I have it carded

[@SteveBrandon]

That TOMMY BOY '67 Plymouth GTX might be in my top 10 Hot Wheels "(Retro) Entertainment" cars because it's a 1960s car done "straight" and also because its a much less obvious choice of a movie car to get the "Entertainment" treatment. You don't really get obscure movie cars in "Entertainment" anymore, and I fully understand it's because a lot of the oddball choices ended up as pegwarmers but still it seems "Entertainment" now is dominated by videogame cars, Fast and Furious (though I never saw that wave in Ottawa), Batmobiles from recent DC movies, and reruns of really obvious cars like the Back to the Future DeLorean or KITT from Knight Rider.

[@SteveBrandon]

My number one choice for "One and Done" at least of those cars not already mentioned is the Lincoln Futura Concept from Hot Wheels Boulevard.

[@maxkern8532]

no one ever remembers the Flying Customs off-road Olds 442 and it makes me sad. it's one of my favorite castings of all time!

[@hectormilosadielgallo5963]

I remember a convertible Toyota 2000GT appearing in Sailor Moon, obviously no brand will bother to get the Sailor Moon and Toyota licenses to make a car that appeared in only brief scenes every now and then, but one can dream

[@JohnSTF72]

The Alfa Romeo B.A.T. could easily pass as an alternative Batmobile. The '67 Plymouth Belvedere GTX is a casting i want to see return as well as the Audi TTS and the Mini Countryman. Great video.

[@brianbsilverado]

That red vector was in the movie rising sun not sure if that was why hot wheels made it but thought I would throw that out there for movie fans

[@whiterastaproductions1846]

The caddilac escalade and the escalade ext

[@ma_auto]

Have a couple of these but the Mini really stands out to me, because I loved it when I got it new. Still love it just as much!

[@brianartillery]

I have one of those 1955 Alfa Romeo B.A.T. (Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica) 9 models. I regret opening it now.

[@kylesoler4139]

don't be as most diecasts look better out of the package.

[@brianartillery]

At the time it was released, I didn't really collect Hot Wheels, but in the UK we had a store called Woolworth's, sadly gone the way of the dinosaurs, now, but they used to carry a vast selection of Hot Wheels models. My young niece used to collect them, and I'd occasionally pick up a couple for her, and on this ocassion, I saw the Alfa Romeo and thought: "What the f**k is that? It's stupid cool" and bought it. The thing looks like a tiny 1950's style flying saucer. What's not to like about it?

[@anthonyjwhitford]

It's pronounced Quattro portayyy. It's not english.

[@brianartillery]

Anthony Whitford - I know. A friend of mine had one, but it was a thirsty beast - but I don't have a model of one, but I do have a model of the Alfa Romeo.

[@jhonistein5347]

The Nissan Silvia

[@bigbuckoramma]

Part of why we have never seen the Mini Countryman WRC again, is because of issues with the WRC team itself. The car was, very briefly, an official Mini "works" team vehicle. Then, because of financial and management issues with the company that had produced the WRC variant, Mini pulled their backing from the team. The team went on a bit of a licensing blitz offering the car out to almost anyone for it's likeness, to try and bolster the teams appeal as a last resort to get some money coming in, but sadly, without the factory money, changing WRC regulations coming quickly, and unable to keep up with the pace of development from the likes of Ford and Citroen, the (now unofficial) Mini team pulled the plug on the whole affair. Some of the spare chassis stayed in the UK, and we're bought up by a team that turned them into World Rally Cross cars, and upgraded them to a 2.0L engine from the WRC spec 1.6L, with limited success. And at least one chassis, and a truck full of spares, ended up in Canada in the hands of one of the Canadian Rally Championship top level drivers. But, again, without any kind of official support, and the company that made the vehicle no longer being in existence such as it was, they were plagued with parts issues, and reliability problems, not being able to do any rapid upgrading, as parts had to be made from scratch. So more than likely, the WRC Countryman will never be seen again, as who knows where the licensing for that body shape resides now. And it's probably too much of a hassle for Mattel to care finding out.

[@carcrasher88YT]

True, but...Majorette has one as well, and they're still making that one.

[@bigbuckoramma]

As far as I know they stopped making that in 2016, and some trickled out in 2017, but it's a casting from 2013, and was one of the many "licensing blitz" toys as the team was going under. I'm sure that is why they kept producing the casting like they did, because they probably bought a multi year deal for cheap. It could also be why HotHweels never reproduced the casting, they may have signed an exclusive deal with them. Similar to how HotWheels lost the Ferrari license. But, like I said, who knows who holds the licensing now, and what it would take to get it.

[@jerryhawk8434]

I keep telling myself I'm not going to collect the small ones anymore and I still haven't stopped 🤣

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

I have that Maserati Quattroporte.

[@mavericknizmo9182]

I am proud to say I own a red LaFerrari. Well, the chrome on the wheels faded away with time, or with the local weather being warm, or with being handled. With chrome or not, I still got it :D

[@seregahv7531]

Very interesting models! I just love it!

[@THE_HW_MASTERS]

cool models!

[@matthewbeutel7153]

I would love to see the Dodge Challenger race car again.(thats a beast!)

[@ericmcginnis2097]

I love that white 1970 or 70 &1/2 camaro . But alot of them cars you showed in this vidio are really cool. They should make more.

[@samace22]

Awesome Cars You Have Congrats Thumbs Up.

[@stevesun7410]

Love Those Hot Wheels In My Collection, Have To Get All Of Them!

[@CaptainFALKEN]

I have that red nfs egg still cased, and I got that silver Alfa Romeo

[@syberracer2984]

Love that Mini Countryman Rally. Probably my favourite out of that bunch. Was fortunate enough to pick up both the red and green one . Sad to see Mattel hasn't brought it back. Would be cool to see it in a rally style car culture mix with a livery like that of the Countryman WRC when it was first unveiled. #37, with the checker-board livery on the side. 😍 That casting is most certainly under-rated.

[@syberracer2984]

Even if it was brought back in the Then & Now basic line, with a classic Mini, it would still be awesome and I would definitely grab it if I could find it.

[@ShadyMrk]

i have the green one and i definitely love it

[@JohnDoe-yw8pt]

i am so glad i found on kiosk, like newspaper stand, ferrari la ferrari, in silver, you wouldn't belive me, i found so many good castings on kiosk, p1 in orange, one time i was driving by one kiosk, i stopped to look for hotwheels and i found orange lamborghini veneno, one other time i found f12 berlinetta, once i found treasure hunt ford fiesta with pink wheels, i was so happy that i decided to go and just check if they have any :)

[@gregrosander3657]

What about the Four-1? One of my all time faves.

[@revnto7k]

I love the Tommy Boy GTX and the Audi TTS the most.. so nice both.

[@rustbloodeclipse]

A cool video idea would be to show cars that were produced for a short couple of years and then disappeared. Some cars like Speed Blaster in the late 1990's and early 2000's had many variations and seemed to do well until their disappearance. Commando was another one of these models- only had six releases in the late 1990's and early 2000's and was then gone. The Saleen S7 is another example. That may be an interesting video to make if there's time for you guys.

[@mikewazowski865]

i had the Maserati, until i strapped a black cat to it update: its only worth $5 nib so no regrets

[@synthbent715]

A Rally car culture set would be amazing!

[@moshman484]

I second that!

[@Zed32_Customs]

Wish granted.

[@mikeb976]

Lamborghini murci SV, I know they did 2. Yellow and white. wish they would bring it back.

[@BIazeren]

Mike B yeah they made a yellow LP670-4 for the Speed Machines line, and a white as a part of the 00' Cars of the decades line

[@mikeb976]

*_BLAZE_* , yes I have the white, wish I got the yellow. Since it's my favorite color. But never saw it in the stores. The hunt is on

[@BIazeren]

Mike B The white one seemed to be the one that caught my eye, but nowadays I would prefer the yellow one as it has it's classic stock look with deluxe tires

[@Skittleman2341]

Great video. I really liked that 2009 Audi TTS. I regret getting rid of my Audi TTS now and after watching this video. I think another great Ferrari casting that never saw the light of day and is my favorite vintage Ferrari is the 250 GTO. It seemed like that got three colors when it was released as a new model in 2009 and then that was it. Also, the Lamborghini Muercielago LP670-4 Superveloce. It seems like that was only released once or twice before disappearing off the map. And the Bugatti Veyron also disappeared as well.

[@Iwatoda_Dorm]

Recently got that green Nissan, I feel like it will turn into a one and done since they made that casting have a wider wheel base. Its the only one of the 2 car culture cars that I have bought :D

[@codystokes6979]

I have Ferris' Ferrari, the Tommy Boy GTX, Bond's GT2000, the Koenigsegg, the Maserati, the LaFerrari, the Mini WRC, and the Nissan Vision but I REALLY want the Aston DB4, but on the other hand REALLY don't want to pay $30 for it haha.

[@ryanlambertson7850]

What ever happened to the Supra, Ae86 and Sc400?

[@2ndchancediecastrestorations]

Supra is still around...the ae86 was released "many times"...as well as the lexus

[@quincyq-radio6300]

👍😀😀 beautiful Hot Wheels 🙌🙌👏

[@YaelOrteez]

Awesome hot wheels also

[@doomusrlc]

The Ferrari F40 redesign as well.

[@PichKhun]

don't forget the Murcielago SV..

[@lamleygroup]

That was released twice - in Speed Machines and Decades

[@lucasayala5967]

I’m from the future, it came back

[@BramCollier]

I'd love to see that Zagato back, my favorite car ever! Even bought a €400 1/18 model of that car because I love it that much :p

[@williamengler321]

one and done 2012 Funny side up

[@jimsbooksreadingandstuff]

Interesting subject for a video. I'd like to find some of those like the James Bond Toyota 2000GT Convertible and Ferrari 250 California

[@TurboSeth]

I have a series on my channel and I've covered the Maserati and the Murci SV, but I've stopped because it looks like Lamley's got it covered (:

[@DreamHachi]

Toyota is being annoying. Seems like everyone has lost their licence with them. From Video games to diecast

[@handywijaya3689]

Who lose their Toyota license? Looks like none from toy industry

[@serkankaratepe9305]

and now they are back.

[@lorddiosliving]

Do you have hotwheels limos?? And 1969 dodge challengers??

[@moshman484]

Lamley, has there ever been a casting for the nissan stagea? If not i think that would a really cool one to bring to life

[@freedommachine4633]

I have that Green Mini, still want to find that red one

[@nascarphiltorres4677]

86 monte carlo

[@jrecio1948]

The NFS 2015 Mustang. It was a concept mustang with a different style of casting with the bigger rear wheels and amazing details

[@mrbilra]

Apparently the Batmobile and a 1963 Chevy Corvette had a baby and gave it in adoption to Alpha Romeo. Man, cars lives are complicated.

[@fantasticbarry5331]

Fantastic video great selection of cars 👍

[@jacobdenk8749]

You forgot the 2007 Audi r8.

[@lamleygroup]

Jingleheimer822 that was actually used in both the mainline and speed machines

[@AudiGTR100]

hope they remake lamborghini murcielago sv

[@serkankaratepe9305]

Your wish is granted. They'll make that for their Lamborghini 5 pack.

[@awesomeduder]

That Mini was not a successful rally car - it was briefly in the world championship but then out again. BMW probably not keen on celebrating it!

[@carcrasher88YT]

True, though HW isn't the only one who's done it. There's a Majorette one as well, which is still in prodiction, IIRC. I have one in blue in my collection that I got from a 3-pack before TRU started carrying the brand.

[@Lds252]

Really cool video I just found the existence of because of some random google search which brought me to a old Reddit post which then linked me to this video lmao

[@Redlineripper]

I have a Ferrari f12 berlinetta in yellow only seen it once I have one of them along with the red laferrari. @Thelamleygroup

[@originalfiremancancelled7303]

Okay here's how it is I have fantasy models but you know what there's a ton of them you could just get rid of tomorrow and bring these all back and the stocks would go up in Mattel 50% I guarantee it I don't know how smart those people are if they are smart enough to do that or not if not maybe they have enough money excellent review bro🚒

[@chad3625]

Not sure if it’s a one n done, but I haven’t seen the Volkswagen squareback after the real riders version. Picked up the set, I believe it was in the air cooled car culture collection

[@santiagoparra-whitehead4029]

Aston Martin One 77 Ferrari F12

[@civicrider5556]

I really want agera R and laferrari back, I have the silver one, but miss those days when Ferrari was a big thing in hotwheels like chevrolet

[@hueyjory8690]

Have you ever thought about showing the Final Runs Hot wheel cars ?..I have 3 of the cars you showed this video . 2 corvettes and the "Dream or passion project hw car.

[@TokyoDrift456]

does the Danicar count? i mean, it had just 2 colors and then a SaART theme and then it vanished from existance

[@SanthoshMaruthi]

Wow !!, one and done's are so different ....for good or bad.

[@dinioco5648]

Bugatti Veyron , Excavator , AND THE Dodge Aries K Wagon

[@BIazeren]

ted hughbanks They made the Bugatti as a part of the mainline, mystery models and speed machines line. Multiplie releases there buddy

[@fl00rmatt64]

Hoping for a Callay C12

[@nathanjoseph4284]

I have a Hot Wheels Retro Entertainment '74 Checker Taxi Cab (a rather obscure car) which appeared in the movie called "Taxi" or something like that. The only Checker Hot Wheels has ever released. Also I hope Hot Wheels gets their Ferrari license back.

[@alexander1485]

they need to make a Vector M12

[@excelceluz]

Its not the M12 but HW did the Avtech WX3 (M12 predecessor)

[@MakoTheUndead]

What about the 240sx?

[@royjames1742]

I have them all

[@joemalonski5004]

I'm partial to White Chapparals and thAT is very cool also early Harley Earl Stingray

[@IdontKnow-jt2oz]

I hope the agera returns because they clearly have no license issues with Koen. since the jesko has been released before and the gemera was recently released.

[@endyplayz7132]

I have the Boulevard Oldsmobile 442 (widebody i think) but it bad shape thanks to my little brother

[@amazingcars1324]

The CCX is the next one coming out

[@synretro]

Vehicle Swiftie wait really..YES YES O THANK YOU LORD

[@YaelOrteez]

How do you know. I mean that is awesome is it going to be car culture asst or basic model

[@amazingcars1324]

BloxusOG Which Car are you talking about?

[@amazingcars1324]

Yaya Ortiz A basic or maybe a Ferrari series is coming soon?

[@BIazeren]

Vehicle Swiftie Mattel actually released a 2010 CCXR Edition in their Fast & Furious line

[@DC322]

If I have one it will be the Datsun 200SX.

[@SteveBrandon]

I don't think that one qualifies as it got a few recolors and then, in 1984, a completely different deco that wasn't just a recolor. I do agree that the Datsun 200SX is a classic Hot Wheels casting I'd love to see a new version of.

[@samace22]

The bad mudder.

[@CANuSLiDE]

You missed a big one; a hot wheels 100% Lamborghini miura

[@carnagegmd6718]

I.... I think you're talking about Matchbox buddy. If not, can you link me an image of it?

[@jeromebautista1553]

The 87 Toyota pick up and the Street Roader( Suzuki Samurai)

[@boerharms2209]

what about the audi R8, I dont recall that having multiple releases

[@ShadyMrk]

boer harms it was in the mainline and in speed machines

[@doomusrlc]

No '77 Mustang?

[@carcrasher88YT]

'78, actually. Shame that model isn't being produced anymore, but at least Greenlight has a factory stock model for both the '76 Cobra II and the '78 King Cobra.

[@wolftmfg]

I’ve got the BAT 🥳 Yes!

[@YaelOrteez]

Make a car culture with the name Fastest Cars #1 koenigsegg....

[@ej1_drew]

toyota removed the license for their cars on forza too. heard it was to change the way the company is perceived.

[@sega6472]

mercedes 300TD, and i believe the other vector wx-8 avtech, and the mustang cobra that had the opening back.

[@vertwheeler6698]

bring back Maserati MC12

[@jsax2781]

That koenigsegg is an expensive casting to get now over $150 to get one

[@hellionus]

I have GTX (in mainline Purple) and Laferrari (Silver one).

[@synretro]

I have all besides the koenigsegg and I’m sad because I’m a huge koenigsegg fan

[@2ndchancediecastrestorations]

The "vector" is not a 1 and done...originally from late 90s hot wheels on a all "blue card" ...

[@thebiggriff8416]

What about the yellow boulevard mustang

[@lamleygroup]

Totally forgot about it.

[@jakejayjay283]

Hot Wheels only made 1 S14

[@koalafan1455]

What about the Ferrari Dino? Also I fell like I should know more of these

[@lamleygroup]

The Dino was used more than once.

[@koalafan1455]

The Lamley Group oh didn’t know

[@SteveBrandon]

I have the Ferrari Dino in a premium Batman-themed set, believe it or not, along with a Shelby Cobra and a Jaguar E-Type and a little 1/64 scale figure of Alfred Pennyworth. I think the Batman connection is that they were all cars seen in "Bruce Wayne's Garage" (the official title of the set) in the Joel Schumacher Batman movies. I also have the Dino from Hot Wheels Garage 2011 and the Hart to Hart "Retro Entertainment" release (the final "Retro Entertainment" Ferrari).
