Yeah, they did a good job on this one for sure. Oh, and it's a Skyline! Cheaper than other brands, and the detailing holds up well against the competition. Also a quality, really solid, heavy casting.

Yes, Aldi stores get the same case letter for months. The benefit is that, if you miss out on any castings elsewhere, you can still find them there. It will be a while before 2025 HotWheels are on the shelves, still lots of awesome 2024 castings to come. Aldi sell HotWheels for the lowest price around, well in the UK. Museums do charge top money for what they sell, but usually because they don't charge an entry fee.

Matchbox have really good detailing compared to HotWheels, and tend to look more realistic. Majorette are really cool, with moving parts, but lighter weight, and more expensive.

It's very popular. Have you tried Aldi? They have B cases in stores now, and, (depending on sales), they usually get two new B cases each week or two. You have to be quick though, they go very quickly.

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK gonna try it later today

@@breal6718 Skylines always very popular.

Which I-Pace rims are you using? The trapezoid 5-spoke, (white casting) or the 'Y' 5-spoke, (black casting)? I guess the weights are to make run faster on a track?

The wheels came off the black I-pace, they don’t look like trapezoids. One bent axle so I’m gonna need to keep looking. I’m doing a build for racing, these guys are serious but a bunch of good guys. Nice store visit, thanks for the video.

The black casting has' Y' 5-spoke rims. Hopefully you get the rims you want for your racing Ford van. You're welcome, more in store videos to come...

I've never watched 'Breaking Bad'. So what surprise feature(s) did it have in BB?

Yeah it is a sweet casting, just a shame they didn't detail they front of it. The Ford Supervan is wicked, any recolour will be 2nd to this one. The Cadillacmobile 😂 is a bit Marmite, Cadillac as a hypercar manufacturer just seems a bit weird.

''Toys R Us' in WH Smith's, now 'The Entertainer' in Tesco. Why pay for your own premises when you use another company's. (I know they will pay a fee, but still cheaper). £3.60 is a reasonable price for two. Well done on the Pajero STH! Crazy difficult to find any STH. Most shop staff know their value, so grab them before they hit the shelves.

Happy you enjoyed the video. Yeah some good new castings coming out. Do you collect?

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it. I don't give out my location, however all Morrisons stores use the same supplier, so they should be in your branch now, or soon.

Thankfully I managed to get one in a shop before they sold out. They will go up in price once they're no longer in stores, that's the nature of HotWheels collecting. Did you get one in a store?

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK I've been unable to find one. I found 5 in different stores from the same chain(Smyth's) but they're only in stores across the county and won't ship between them 😔 Driving 3+ hours each way doesn't seem worth it.

Maybe try ' The Entertainer'? But I think they are out too. Yeah Symth's won't move stock between stores for customers, (down to cost). You would pay far more in fuel, than paying extra to get one online. I guess online is the 'best' of the options. This casting will only increase in value as time passes because it is a Skyline. Bide your time, you never know, you might nab one for a decent price. 🤞

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK lmao. Currently the 1/43 skyline is on sale on amazon, £12. Thinking of picking up 2 or 3. 60% have been sold, so probably wont last more than a few more hours, from around 9am sunday.

@ConfusedRaccoon Great spot! Patience brings rewards. I hope you managed to get the 2 or 3 you wanted? I might get an extra one, if there are still some left. I can't believe. the price, I know it's £12.89, but that's a bargain for what it is!

Yeah that deep red colour is a bit special, but for me, the white is right up there too. The '87 Quattro, one of my many retro dream 💭 cars... Super retro cool.

It's the power of TV to influence! Peg warmer, to wallet emptier 😁. I love that casting, (the '73 Civic Custom), yellow, for me, is the best one yet! I like this Mod Rod best, but the new one is cool too.

Yeah, all the versions (the 2021 and 2022s) of this casting were for sure. The power of TV!!! 📺

That sounds like a great, fun way to spend quality time with your son. You and your son do with the cars what they are made for, to race, and to play with. Though there is a collectors' market too. Is the GT Scorcher 🔥 fast on the track? I bet it is!

Yes, very happy with that one! One of the best HotWheels of the year, I reckon. There is a white one coming this year too. Do you collect?

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK Yeah-- after watching this, I was able to hit up a bigt box store after a huge dump of these... I picked up three, and left like 7 on the pegs for other guys-- with a few TH I was able to find. Came back the next day, they were ALL gone. Amazing hobby, love finding something new, or being surprised by when hunting.

WOW! That was very lucky, but you gotta hunt to get the luck! I reckon the Civic will be a highly sought casting in a few years time. Very good of you to leave so many of them for other collectors, hopefully real collectors found them, but maybe it was one reseller, hope not. 😬. What TH did you find?

Yeah, a super hobby. It's like searching for treasure, that's why I love it so much!

Is the DeLorean the blue one with the side stripes? I can't remember all of the castings I found in that video. I saw a real ID Buzz (in yellow) when I was out HotWheels hunting! 😁

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK Yep , the dark blue DeLorean 😎

I love Audi's, that racing Audi (the real one) is a beast on the track. I'm not a big fan of the limited grip.

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK My wife and I both collect hot wheels & matchbox, she keeps them pristine in the packaging, me and the grandson rip them and race them 🤣The Limited Grip is a very fast casting, think I saw somewhere that it was really built so not a fantasy as such ?!

Good that you and your nephew enjoy racing the cars, that's what they're made for after all. My love of diecast started when I was a kid. I played with my cars and trucks indoors, and outdoors, for hours, and hours and hours... I'm a collector now, and like your wife I keep one of each in the packaging.

Sorry 'grandson'.

Me too. They are the brand of my childhood. I'm a fan of pickups. The full sized old ones command BIG money in the States these days.

Cheers 👍. Yeah I was very happy with a lot of the castings I got. (Good price too). Thankfully it wasn't a returns box with all of the good ones taken out.

Lucky you, I'm coming to shop in your Halfords 😁. I'm very happy you are enjoying the videos. I have put quite a bit of effort into them, especially the recent ones. I like to make the cars, the stars of the show, no padding.

Ouch!!! That is a huge price to pay for that car. Lots of questions spring to mind like: Why such a high price? Where did she buy it? Why the GT Scorcher? I left that one in the store. It's a disgrace that anyone would charge that much for that car.

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK Kids want them because of the Netflix series.

@nigel1210 Well that clears that up, cheers for that. I just couldn't get my head around why someone would pay so much, especially for that casting. It annoys me that a seller charged someone, £22 for that HotWheels car.

I make content for people to watch. I don't do giveaways, I might do in the future, but I need to continue growing my channel first.

I spend a lot of time working on my videos, so I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Yeah, Matchbox the best detailing hands down. As far as collectible, HotWheels have exploded in popularity here in the UK in recent years., I know loads of collectors of HotWheels. New Matchbox, far less people collecting them, in my experience. I could be different in the country/area you live.

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK - I'm from England, and Matchbox cars have been a fairly permanent fixture in my life for 60+ years now. I always had the Lesney ones (still have some now) and the rather 'phoned in' Tyco years ones, and now enjoy the quirky selection from Mattel. My current favourites are the Lincoln Continental, and it's diametric opposite, the Morris 1000, or 'Morry Thou' as some of us know it - including the band The Stranglers, who called it such in their song '(Get A) Grip (On Yourself).'

That National Parks colour scheme is an incredibly collectable Matchbox subset, that has been appearing randomly for several years. If you ever see one - grab it, whatever vehicle it might be.

@brianartillery That is dedication. I bet you could tell some stories from your collecting days. My mum bought me a Matchbox car every week when I was a kid. I really was a Matchbox kid, I loved them! I played them to pieces, literally, outside on the street and in the mud. I have collected most of them again as an adult, nostalgia. Like you I also have Lesney ones, boxes of them. Also the earlier smaller scale Lesney ones. Unlike you I didn't keep collecting when Mattel took over, but I do know the first Mattel Matchbox cars still had metal base plates

Are you talking about the purple HotWheels Lincoln Continental with the gold base plate? I remember a red Matchbox one with a white plastic roof, from many moons ago... Oh, Moggies are very popular as diecast cars. I didn't know they were called 'Morry Thou', but it makes sense. Oh, I know 'Golden Brown, but not the song, 'Get A Grip On Yourself'.

Doesnt matter our of opinion. Nothing Gonna change.

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it. I'm only on TH-cam to upload videos or answer comments. No worries at all if you want to reverse your sub. I wish you continued success with your channel.

That's a lot of places, much better than putting all your eggs in one basket. Do you have to travel far to get to them, or are they close by? That Skyline is a great get, was it the 2023 or 2024? They are both D case castings.

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK Travel to most of them. Skyline was the 2024 model.

Found my long card Godzilla R33 for £1.72 at a Morrisons in the North East a couple of weeks ago. My best hunt spree up there in a couple of years in fact...

That's a great one to get. I will be eagle-eyed looking for that on the shelves. Did you get the 2023 R34 Godzilla last year also?

Doing the leg work, often brings the rewards.

Glad you enjoyed it

Might be a little tricky to find, but hopefully you will get one. There is also a Matchbox version of that exact Porsche, keep an eye out for that one.

Yes I was lucky to be one of the first to search through it. Was the Porsche Safari your favourite one in this box?

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK already have the Matchbox version of it but need that Hot Wheels version to compare, hopefully ill get lucky this week

The Matchbox version definitely has bigger, chunkier wheels. Fingers crossed 🤞 you will find one, and can do the comparison. I have seen it in Morrisons and Poundland most often.

Sth datsun 510 wagon I found in my local smyths

That's a brilliant find! The most sought after STH of 2023.

I'm not sure what 'donk' means, here it's slang for 'hit'. But I guess it's not a compliment for the R/T Viper 😁.

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK donk is actually a car with big wheels if you don't know

Huayra Roadster is my fav

Yeah that moonlight blue paintwork with the gold rims is sweet.

Yep! Majorette do castings with moving parts, and plastic insert headlights for £3. Their premiums are £6. But Mattel won't lower the price or change their laser printed headlights while collectors keep paying the current price.

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK Matchbox moving parts have some nice models also.

Yeah they do. I have some, but they are very rarely ever stocked in my area.

HotWheels 1:64 premium castings cost £9.00. In a sale £7.20, or maybe £5 for castings that are not good sellers. However, popular castings will all be snapped up quickly at £9.00

Oh, 'Mini GT' 1:64 is generally not stocked in UK stores. Debenhams do sell them, there they range in price from £22 - £28

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK oh that is more expensive than in india in terms of mini gt and we don't get cool stuff from hotwheels

That store I mentioned that sells 'Mini GT'' in the UK is an expensive place to shop in. How much do they cost in India? I'm really surprised to hear that HotWheels have not fully tapped into the huge potential sales of India yet, surely they are missing out big time!

@@TheHotwheelsHunterUK in india minimum price of mini gt that I saw is 999 and maximum is 2000 which I remembered

whole set 9£? or piece of them in UK?

No, I wish! £9 per car. Sometimes you can get them for less.

I've had/have lots of 1:43 scale diecast, and the moving parts (especially the doors) always become loose after a short time. You can tighten some, but they quickly loosen again. I'm happy at this price point that the 1:43 HWs have no opening doors etc. I know to keep the price at a certain level they would have to compromise in other areas of the casting. Also the mechanisms to move the parts would be second rate. Moving parts do add interest though.

Yes, very frustrating! I just took the whole box out, and moved it out of the way, I bought lots, so nobody complained. Also, I asked (nicely) in store if they could move them to a 'better' place', now they tend to be by the closed tills. Having the same cars in every shop is likely due to the supplier, (Mattel UK) that's where the big retailers get them. My local Aldi never had them, then suddenly, they have lots. Availability in store is very often based on sales numbers.

Yeah it's a cool casting. I would like it even better, if the windscreen frame was up. It looks a bit odd in the blister pack with it down.

Most people think I sound American at regular speed 😂, or Australian, or South African. I sound like a chipmunk at 20x regular speed!
