This set could have had so much potential but hot wheels missed the mark as usual. It almost like they don't want to make a perfect set because it's sets their bar too high. The VW pickup is the highlight of this set and considering how many great porsches hot wheels have, it really shouldn't be that way.
@customcollects5 ай бұрын
Nice man. Very well said too. I can see exactly where you’re coming from. As a collector of primarily loose models. Once opened these cars and the transport will melt into my collection accordingly and will rarely sit together. Man!… when you said they could have picked so many other Porsches a huge wave of possibilities washed over me lol! You are so right. Wow. I like that you prefer the transporter in this set and I always think that the transporters in these sets go straight on eBay as not everyone loves them. Appreciate the awesome comment mate. Did you pick up this set yet or is it a pass for you?

We pay about $29 usd in US at Walmart. I only buy the sets with at least 2 of 4 cars I want/need. If a set like Porsche I buy 2 so I can open 1 and display each vehicle and save 1. Other sets I may buy just 1 to save if they are cars I don’t display. If a set like the last J Leno set I avoid all together.

Hey how’s it going. Thanks for info. I am very interested to learn more about how much other collectors are paying for hot wheels all over the world. 29 bucks is a fair price. Is that before or after sales tax? I have two of the Porsche displays now and I’ll grab two of that new Greddy display when it comes out next. Looking forward to it for sure.

Hey man. Thanks for leaving this awesome comment. How long have you been collecting for? I started collecting with my dad since I was a child and opening cars and building an epic display with them just stuck with me. I also really enjoy displays / dioramas and other creative ways that you can display your loose models and once you start opening them it’s a lot of fun moving stuff around and having your collection look a certain way that is unique to you. The other side of the coin is that this hobby gets super expensive and you then also like the card art or it’s a particular limited edition RLC car and you want to keep it carded. I definitely open at least 85% of what I buy without thinking twice. It’s the difference between being a collector of Diecast or an investor. Don’t worry about its value. Enjoy being a car guy who enjoys car models today 🙌 I just wish Hot Wheels were a bit cheaper here in the UK so I could buy more. Ultimately. You do whatever you want with the things that you buy with your hard earned money bro. There’s no one right way to collect Diecast. These collector display sets are great to open and I like their variety as I enjoy mixing things up like you saw in the video and finding other cars in my collection that look cool on top of the transporter etc. it’s a lot of fun. Wish you a great day and great to chat with you too 🚗💨

@@customcollects I've been collecting for about 5 or so years now! Initially only scooped up Mustangs, now I'm crazy for Porsche castings as well. Your dad sounds like one cool cat. I've been keeping the STH/TH/Chase/RLC ones carded, but it's getting tougher to do so with all the awesome dioramas out there to display them with - especially that one lit up by LED you recently posted! I managed to snag an Advan Boulevard van, so I'm considering popping open the Skyline I got via RLC this year so I can pair them up.

@@Mattbox_Wheels hey man! Thanks for the epic reply. I actually feel very lucky that I have never really considered keeping anything locked up in its packaging and if I ever do it’s for doubles or only something rare / very expensive. But even some expensive stuff I open. Or I’m just saving it to open another time. Definitely agree that the final step is creating your own display with the cars you own and making your collection special. That’s what this hobby is all about.

I wanna see what the size difference are. I really like that green one from Boulevard. Hot wheels do some fun branded T1 buses that I still need to add to my collection for sure. I did think about the corgi 935 but I decided it was too close to the one in the display and didn’t want to bore everyone in the video so just stuck to one comparison. And no mate sadly I’m not sure how many old skool Boulevard cars I have but also I know that I didn’t pick up the yellow 993 gt2. It’s become one do those casting that everyone wishes they bought 5 of now in hindsight, right? Ha! Super happy you enjoyed the races mate. Shame about the pickup. I even tried to balance it out but that just made it heavier. What was the last few cars that you added into your collection recently mate?
