Lamley Showcase: Hot Wheels Team Transport 2024 Mix A goes Vintage Racing

I know Hot Wheels doesn't do themed mixes for Team Transport, but this mix of three sets screams Vintage Racing. Let's open them up.

[@JustinTyme33]

The 42 was driven by the young Swede Savage for Dan Gurney Racing. Swede died far too young. This style livery has been released in 1:64 now 4 times by Hot Wheels, 2 times by Auto World and once by Johnny Lightning to the best of my knowledge. If I am missing one please let me know. I own the ones I’ve mentioned.

[@alexander1485]

Dan Gurney drove the #48... but John never does research.

[@trev3971]

@@alexander1485 While I agree that a general lack of racing knowledge is a Lamley weakness, in his defense, they do have Gurney printed as the driver name on this #42 model.

[@williamlevy1981]

​@@trev3971That's odd if he never drove it.

Someone needs to setup an exchange program with the US and the UK; over here the US muscle cars (the ‘real’ versions of which were never sold here) end up being the peg warmers and the euro cars are impossible to obtain. Looks like it’s the opposite in the US, so we should do a peg warmer exchange!

[@MaximusOverdrive]

Dot Matrix rubbish is on many Mattel “Premium” products, fully convinced it’s a cost cutting issue. Don’t care if tampos rub on the card, wish they’d fix it! Models would look so much better.

[@Viscalis]

The Chevelle was in a two pack last year.

[@jiveturkey365]

They should have put something else on that hauler that sells like the 55 chevy gasser

[@nfl2254fan69]

Great looking set. Love the vintage American muscle stuff. I wish they put more of that stuff out. Great video on these, thanks.

[@thomwatson4263]

I have the black and gold chevelle on the card. I found it in an antique store for $5, a few months before the prices skyrocketed.

[@samace22]

Awesome team transport sets you open up and you reviewed congrats.👍

[@steverobsondiecast]

The second story lorry was used with the gulf pantra set. It is a nice ruck. Sadly, the fiat is a peg warmer in its single outing.

[@williamwilkinson6665]

@steverbsonddiecast ....lol what are smoking dude...... that's the one that everyone will want the other 2 are boring ......

[@urideamabal]

Vintage Racing! Yeah, buddy....

[@mbove87]

There was also the Dan Gurney Hall of Fame release in early 2000's, that with the vintage racing and this new team transport set would make a nice little collection.

[@RICHARGER]

Finnaly there is a full set of team transport that i really want. Love all of the casting. The sacura sprinter will be a new edition for my collection because non of the prevous combinations have gotten my intrest.

[@rorroryusoul]

Very cool castings lamley group

[@michaelelmore5103]

That black and gold Chevelle looks like Smokey Yunick's 3/4 Chevelle in NASCAR.

[@69gmc250]

Because it is

[@gregking7926]

The 42 AAR Cuda was a darker color than Gurney's 48 car

[@JustinTyme33]

The blue was the exact same factory provided blue on both cars.

[@Vermonter1245]

6:40 i dont understand why this peg warmed. the first edition of truck with impala was great!! and i will get this one as well. only team transport i own

[@juregrant8115]

Love that impala. Want this set too… I passed up on it 2x already so hope I still find it.

[@motov8-garage832]

Agreed, I never understood why that impala or this chevelle (not to mention the cuda set) are peg warmers at all. There awsome and a few of my favorites.

[@richardwassner6986]

I wish they would do the blue mongoose

[@FreakinPeanut]

Is it just here in Australia, or is the scalper situation becoming worse?

[@JaxvR08]

Here in Texas pretty much every pallet is raided the second they hit the floor, the only spot that had hope was a local grocery store chain that started carrying them, but now it’s pillaged :/

[@sorosub4562]

Pretty much worse across the board. I barely find any cars that aren’t extremely niche in stores anymore in the PNW

[@FreakinPeanut]

Cheers for the replies fellas! Shame how it started trending on social media and now the hobby is full of some really questionable individuals. A friend of mine has joined a gang of these scalper folks... And the least I can say is that it's very discouraging to see grown ass men act that way (not just for toys but for anything).

[@Fore-Four-Dee-Too]

First decent release of 2024

[@MosasaurMisc2023]

Chat, I got them all

[@user-nx6zp8zn2n]

Good

[@karlroach6578]

I like everyone else loved the vintage racing series,unfortunately only have 3 examples,HW could also do some vintage Australian race cars as they have 2 premiums to use and a basic also,would be a great series to revive and plenty of models to use from all over the world ❤

[@danielreed3666]

Like to get the Fiat Abarth 131/Second Story Lorry and the Target exclusive premium Gulf livery Abarth so 3 Abarths can go on one Transport (Already have the red Modern Classics Abarth) Saw your previous video with the first release of the Second Story Lorry with the Gulf Pantera (together with Gulf livery McLaren F1 from British Horse Power and Porsche 917 LH)

[@danielreed3666]

A update....got those Team Transports,not at my local Walmart, in my home city (which still has one of the Impala Team Transport), but at adjacent Walmarts in nearby towns

[@BaDArxz]

I want the ramp and the Cuda.

[@johnathangould9320]

Cuda was just in F&F previous mix

[@ronwolff5973]

The car is not an Impala It’s a Chevelle

[@cardfan4ever2009]

I think he's got the 1st release on his mind cause he brought it up saying the 1 from the summer last year had an Impala.....🥶🥶

[@Mmmm2217]

Good to see HotWheels sticking to a Theme in a Set But Why not bring out 4 in the Set for Boxing. Vintage Racing has so much too offer in the States when you look at the History of the Cars running the Moonshine over the State Borders that started Drivers doing up their cars to out run the Police. Then Red Dirt Rising that has a close connection to Car Racing in the Early Days in the Paddocks, then the First Beach Daytona Racing in 1958 then on to International Racing so that has a lot of Vintage Racing Cars and Drivers. Even early NASCAR would have a lot of History as there is a NASCAR History Channel on KZbin with Film taken in those days. I just forget the Channel but I will look for it as it’s Nostalgia and Great that we can view it after all those years. Found It ! HistoryPod and NASCARAllOut Great Viewing.

[@trrpz2083]

Are they ever going to put out more container sets ?

[@biblomatic]

We have seen chevelle very often but fiat is a nice touch for this mix

[@fabionotaro373]

the best version is the one from the hall of fame series.

[@onemansvideos2134]

Chevelle not impala lol they were close in body styling that year

[@sgulley6655]

What’s the point of your website?

[@cardfan4ever2009]

Id NVR b able to find it in store cause ive never found a blk chase on oeg but i wish they woukd do a chase set on these haulers...... 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@tazzhockey]

Shame the Cuda and Chevelle didn’t have Goodyear tires, but still cool nonetheless. Fiat looks great as well. Been saying, we need Vintage Racing back. Even if it’s a Car Culture mix. With that said, yes it should include Japanese cars, etc. However, I think it should still primarily be American cars. Car Culture already is predominantly Japanese and European cars, so let’s see at least one mix with predominantly American cars!

[@Josh_Quillan]

Vintage racing focus is a great idea so long as HW remember they are a global brand, not just American. No offence to the US racing fans but for those of us without a history of NASCAR fandom (i.e. most of the world) these Chevelles and Impalas and so on are pretty boring. They're well made and everything, but I just don't care about them; the Barracuda is nicer simply because it has a more interesting livery. The Fiat on the other hand, iconic for European rally lovers. That's the one I want. I really wish they'd sell the trucks and cars seperately. The trucks are really cool but often I just want one, usually the car but sometimes the transporter. If that worked out they could maybe branch out into more general commercial vans - removals, containers, utility trucks in proper scale with HW cars.

[@trainglen22]

It's a Chevelle, not Impala.

[@ciscodeer9094]

Eh I'll stick with the basics and premium models

[@mikelnator]

To me only the Cuda , worthy pick …😒 who is making the decisions at Mattel ?

[@egresk1]

All peg warmers. Its like they took all of the old bad ones, combined them, and put them out together.

[@JustinTyme33]

You have no idea what you’re talking about. The AAR Cuda is legendary.

[@CCET3Drums]

Honestly I kind of agree. That’s mainly because I prefer more stock-looking cars as opposed to racing liveries. It’s bad enough they get you to buy the hauler, and for $15 I want the car to be 🔥. None of these stand out that much

[@jiveturkey365]

I honestly want all 3 for once. But I'm probably gonna pass on the chevy

[@minorperez5998]

​@CCET3Drums then team transport must not be your thing. Because normal carsusually don't have haulers. its kind of a race car thing

Nice casts but still unpainted grey wheels that ruins the premium feeling that we pay for it. It's so disappointing for Mattel to cut corners in such beautiful cars....
