Lamley Showcase: The new Hot Wheels Car Culture 2 packs have created a collector frenzy!

The word spread fast over the weekend that the new Hot Wheels Car Culture Premium 2-packs were hitting targets, and the mayhem ensued! I was able to grab each set myself, and here is a showcase.

Hi

[@bestguccytroll10]

I love you collection of hot wheels and I do have hot wheels

[@Gearhead-en8dz]

Can I order these direct from mattel or target.

[@amirsmith7676]

That 72 280 SEL is so beautiful!

[@dazzawong74]

Loved your chat with Larry on Insta - amazing insight to the cars & brings excitement to the hunt!

[@jonp5641]

The grey Merc is absolutely stunning and the red Skyline is pretty sweet!

[@dharkann]

man im so bummed i missed out on it.

[@ogluis2060]

Thanks man ur the best nothing more satisfying than lamley showing cars ❤❤❤

[@1ChilledDude]

Dayummm! These look ridiculous!!! Mattel really nailed the wheel choices on these. Love them all, but the Merc and Skyline sets are definitely my favourites.

[@fernc3502]

All those car sets are hot. But that 1972 mercedes is gangster.

[@injairgun]

Basically a Hot WHeels Premium Then and Now series

[@kennethcolon4527]

I can't wait for The local stores near me stock up so I can purchase some car culture cars. Watching your videos have me wanting them .

[@diclexicschweb4748]

It a Target exclusive i think so if u not looken there u wont find it

[@JohnSTF72]

Really interesting Car Culture 2 packs. Something tells me that the Mercedes double pack will be the most popular of the three. I know it's my favorite. Thanks for the showcase.

[@j2thefnr]

Thé red interior makes that Mercedes look GOOD!!

[@MrAngusboy]

There's nothing wrong with car culture at all. Im hunting the entire line. Team transports 2 packs, single 5 car sets. After a while I might not have any room on the walls

Hey Lamley, My favorite Hot Car Culture 2pk is the Borla Truck set. Glad a friend picked it up for me. Be well!

[@gotbikes6067]

That Benz though!! And that Borla set. I will buy EVERY SINGLE ONE that I can get my greasy hands on!!

[@carsofsouthernmaryland4066]

And you are the exact reason that some of us more casual collectors will never be able to find any.

[@gotbikes6067]

@@carsofsouthernmaryland4066 so it's my fault that you're a casual collector?? In case you didn't know... collecting is kinda competitive. Keep trying and you'll be fine.

[@pigeon_spots_cars]

The red R32 will go nicely with the black one from F&F and the white box-set version! Can't wait to find them! (Or more likely pay triple the price of some scalper after not being able to get them)

[@samwise7104]

These sets are 🤬 awesome!! That's why it sucks that it's a half-hour drive from my house to the nearest Target. However I was able to hit a bunch of them in the Salt Lake Valley today and was lucky enough to find the Merc set. I unfortunately have the sneaking suspicion that I'll have to resort to 🤬 evilBay for the other two, unless I get OBSCENELY lucky. Great vid as always Lamley!

[@gotbikes6067]

Lamley Group... this is how I stay ahead in the collector's game!!!

[@misterjimmy81]

Ahh man I missed the premier of this video. So glad I was able to grab a set this morning at my local target.

[@blobbymenfantastico4475]

Are they target exclusives?

[@misterjimmy81]

@@blobbymenfantastico4475 yep they are.

[@samace22]

Awesome car culture 2 packs you got, you open up, and you reviewed congrats.👍 I will be on the hunt for all 3 of those and I can't wait to add all 3 of those to my hot wheels collection.👍

[@alexanderperez2732]

That gtr set with that card art is just amazing. But all the sets even though one model per sets are repeated

[@Giratina575]

That hks R32 is unbelievable. I missed it the first time....i will not make that mistake again

[@rudygarcia693]

They're all impressive but the Mercs steal the show in my opinion.

[@jordanpierce5265]

Where do you get your spinning showroom, I would love to have one for my desk ❤️

[@ericmcginnis9413]

Red or maroon skyline is great looking! Same for the silver mercedes!

[@jordanabrams3204]

Love that silver Mercedes so much

[@scottworsley3218]

Spotted these at my local Target last night. Can't believe I actually found them. Got the Mercedes set, although I already have the black one from a previous premium release.

[@steelie9050]

Came as soon as I saw your post on insta lol

[@SteveBrandon]

The Mercedes-Benz one is probably the only "must buy" for me since it's the only one where I don't already have the older Car Culture release (the slight differences between the older and newer versions aren't significant enough for me to want to buy them again all that much) although I do admit that the stock red/maroon Skyline is tempting. But I'm in Canada and I'm skeptical that I'll ever see these at Walmart.

[@juddnielsen5949]

Hope to find some! Who did the music on this vid ? I was really digging it!! Love the 80s synth vibe done tastefully modern.

[@fishtropiccanada4747]

God damn … mercs mercy lol 😂 if I see the skyline I’ll grab that too ..

[@kleverich]

Funny thing, I am never able to find the hot releases. However I swung by the local Target after work, and there they were. Only really wanted the GT-Rs, but of course I had to get the Benzes and the trucks too. Thanks Hot Wheels.

[@JoeNerd11]

My heart broke when you mentioned Target exclusive, but mended once you explained that availability for Canada would be handled by Walmart. 😌 Crisis averted!

[@SteveBrandon]

Canadian Tire sometimes gets in Target exclusives in for the Christmas season so, if you can't find them at Walmart, you may want to check your local Canadian Tire store's inventory on the Canadian Tire website starting around mid-October.

[@superrad1659]

So cool. I was lucky enuf to already scooped Larry Chen's, havent found the Merc set yet, hopefully theres plenty of them out there... Passed on the Borla one, Love the "83 and love the Syclone irl, but the casting doesnt do mch for me. Its good, just doesnt excite me.

[@dylanhale7300]

STOP SPENDING MY MONEY! LOL great video, and thanks for introducing me to global 64

Really need that Borla set man!

Just scored the entire set! These are stupid clean!!!

[@bunkerdiecastchannel9973]

All these cars are bleeping awesome

[@green2red]

I saw these maybe once, but couldn't get any due to not having any money. I was lucky enough to get the Thunder Roller this morning.(had a little money come in)

[@Zed32_Customs]

I hope to find at least the mercedes pack since I never found the 190e the first time

[@rudygarcia693]

Is that normal? I haven't been to Canada since the '95 GP.

@@rudygarcia693 wrong comment?

What scale inch are they all? The trucks look different sizes

[@timbunker4061]

The 190E is awesome, but the 280 SEL is even better!

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

OMG . 2 packs ! Start the carrrrrrr.

[@rugsbaby]

Love these cars butttt I really don’t like the HKS color way on the skyline though personally I didn’t like the van premium they did with it either and honestly thinking about the civic I only really like the super and I CBA to pay 30+ for it.. buttt these things look so freaking crazy the quality and detail is nuttsssss. The stance on that truck is perfect. They really killed these. Also 2022 did you see those new 5 pack premiums I think it’s something like “garage” or something like thay

[@Vermonter1245]

only one that interests me is the Borla set.

[@RajaReign78]

Sweet more awesome cars I’ll never get to see in person, thanks Mattel especially for us collectors that don’t have these stores anywhere nearby. Already saw them for $50 a piece on eBay WTG more for the scalpers to be greedy for. If I sound pissy I am I really wish non scalpers had a chance in hell to score these sets.

[@bearabletable7527]

its really sad af. $11.99 reselling for $50 lmfao.....

[@LtDMT]

yeah i be mad when i can't find a set of premiums but when i do i get greedy and take more than i need just for keeps not resell unless my buddy needs a set

Hey the first edition 72 Mercedes is not black, it’s a very dark Metallic blue, the one with the Steele’s wheels.

[@skooter6235]

Saw these at a couple of Targets, I have to say I wasn’t impressed and passed. And it’s saying something that there were several of each set hanging on the pegs

[@skooter6235]

@J I was just there 2 hours ago and there were 2 sets of each on the pegs. I passed on them again. The Porsche, Skyline and Trans-am IDs were all gone from yesterday. I grabbed one of each up immediately

[@Arcade_Cat_]

I really hope I find that GT-R set

[@angryroger4549]

The wheels dont fit on the 280 SEL. Too much pimp my ride. The old school rims from the Modern classics version nailed it.

[@CCET3Drums]

Awesome cars. I am NOT one to really complain very often about hot wheels. But It’s kind of frustrating that each one has a repeat. It’s literally just a way to get another $13 out of you, because they know people will want the new release. It is what it is though I guess!

[@jicez6649]

I will take the gtrs and the trucks and maybe harvest the wheels from the Grey Mercedes

[@furryroadkill]

I'm going to be that guy: These do not feel up to par w/ other premiums. I got the Skyline set just for the red R32 and that one felt decent. Both felt less hefty than other premiums and the HKS felt almost cheap as the livery is grainy and almost faded, and compared to the previous version the livery seems less detailed and fine and the clear coat is almost nonexistent where you can feel every bit of that livery. The previous car culture has a perfectly smooth clear coat and both the HKS and red R32 had a very rough and thin feeling clear coat.

[@otaku0698]

I would like the Benz

HLB97 LARRY CHEN CAR CULTURE 2- PACK PO

[@thewholeshebangandsome75]

Mattel making it easier for me not to spend money. Just re releases in different packaging. Mattel are becoming more like Hasbro with their figures, especially star wars. Same old #### different day

[@jamesshives5679]

Also, like star wars, hard to find, at least in my area. I haven't seen a car culture (other than team transports) more recent than Wild Terrain and the only reason Ive seen that one is because a few of the models pegwarmed, and in fact, one 959 is still at my local target.
