Haha! I get that quite a lot with comments. I understand that you watch a specific part and then want to head to the comments before you forget what you were thinking. I understand 👍 you're very kind mate. It's strange that all those eBay listings had the 911 and the 928 together. I think most people will just build a listing as Porsche collectors make up a large majority of people that love to collect Diecast. Even better than the 911 wiped the floor with the 928S safari. Very interesting to see indeed 🚗💨
Great video, the Elite64 Porsche is definitely the best looking of the bunch. I just got the Pandem Datsun 280ZX Elite64 yesterday and opened it up, very nice casting, stances wheels, an actual separate diecast exhaust, and the smoked out lenses. I really dig the drag races you have a great setup and always great to see a fellow collector who enjoys opening and enjoying the castings.
Hey, how's it going? You're the best mate. When the Elite 64 928 dropped I knew I wanted to make a Modern vs Vintage review and of course thought that drag racing 40 year old toy cars on my drag race would be loads of fun! I'm really proud of this video and in the future I hope I can afford some better quality equipment to make higher quality content. It's cool to look back at video number 1 on my channel and then watch this video which is number 30. The journey has just begun! I was sooo close to purchasing that Elite Datsun until I noticed Hot Wheels skipped the mirrors and then it couldn't be unseen. Haha. You know what I mean? Have you managed to get out this week and go hunting? I found two Godzilla skyline r32 and the EF civic which of course were snatched up when they first came out in the 2023 D case. Happy to have those two in my collection now. More drag races soon my bro! A lot more. Thank you so much for the kind words and support. Always pleasure chatting with you. You have really great Diecast knowledge 🚗💨
Hey how's it going? Hope you enjoyed the vid! Yes 8 versions for this release. The one with "laser wheels" is awesome! Which one of the 4 from my video did you like the best? So much to enjoy about all of them to be fair. I definitely had fun showcasing all 4 together and the race was hilarious! Pleased the old boys made it round the loop EASILY. Wish you a great day my friend. Appreciate the epic comment. Thank you 🚗💨
@@customcollects Going good! it's morning here in ottawa just off to work and thought I'd watch the EPIC drag races. I liked how you read the rule - NOT for use on hot wheels tracks - then promptly broke the rule...lmao The elite 64 is the best looking but the matchbox mainline rally is pretty amazing for a buck fitty. Hope you are doing well too and hope you have a great day in jolly old England!
Best 928 is easily the MB Superfast model. Great detail, sprung "suspension" axles and the doors open nicely. I had the second version in the metallic blue with brown interior, but I did get the blue/grey one featuring in your video. My favourite 928 was the mustard gold original & Ive been lucky to find 2 versions of it over the years. The thing worth noting with Superfast models is that Matchbox did a lot of "mixing up"on their production runs, so you can sometimes find a different interior or perspex window where they had overlaps. Nowadays among the HWs collectors, this could be classed as a "error" but it often happened in the 70s/80s where they might use older parts to get rid of them. Matchbox No3 Porsche Turbos can often be found with an orange or cream interior in the metallic green version (it was the 3rd after the brown & silver releases)...
mb Matchbox As mentioned above YES there is MASSIVE Amounts of this casting COMPLETLY different and VERY VERY noticeable WHEN said say 5-13 of a Colour is side by side Window colours , interior colours , Wheels NEW BASE modified , Different wheels etc == besides me Documenting VW PORSCHE Collectibles 40+yrs I highly recommend CHARLIE MACK books of Superfast Vol 1 vol2 As others of his + [BAMCA ] Bay Area Matchbox Collectors Assiciation site/database for MB NEEDS of information • mb also has a PLASTIC BODY ( Slighlty BIGGER scale barely THAT GLOWS in the DARK THEY go by DIFFERENG name(s)ed only a few different ones of these ~ col'pop ~ coldpopcarl ~ coldpopcarlsvws
Hey man! How's it going? This comment is a really great insight and super interesting too. Going to nerd out and look up some of these "errors" which I'm sure you're right were just simple mix up when production methods were a lot less automated as they are today. That's also really cool too! Makes hunting for rare and random version very interesting for sure! Cool facts mate. Love it. I hope that one day hot wheels will pay a proper homage to the 928 and release a clean true to the original Porsche 928 casting even though that final run p-928 release is something else. I need one!! Hope you enjoyed the vid and thanks always for the support. Hope you've been adding more Diecast gems into your collection 🚗💨
Cool race. I knew the Elite 64 wouldn’t win but it appears in the video that it really lost the race going around the loop. I think the loop is where it really fell so far behind. Almost like it struggled to even get around. I’m digging the idea of races and would love to see more. Porsches are one of the primary cars I collect with about 800 of them right now. Most of the premium ones don’t even roll at all so you couldn’t include them in a such a race. I’ll have to look for some other brands that do roll as I love to collect the old, weird, odd and defunct brands. You should do a race to figure out the fastest of each specific model Porsche and then take all of those winners and put them in a final race.
Hey man! How's it going? Did you pick up a Porsche 928 safari for your collection? It's a great one and I'm very proud of how this video turned out. This casting really does have a lot of great hot wheels history to discover because there isn't a true to life straight forward Porsche 928 release. Hopefully we will see one in the future but also I won't hold my breath lol. Thanks for the support and the race input too! I have done races similar to what you're saying. You could say my two neon speeders are like that. But also yes a much bigger tournament would be awesome and also not even a wild and crazy idea. I could definitely make that happen. Hot Wheels racing will feature heavily in my next upload! Hope you'll be back to watch it. Got some great and new, creative and fun ideas coming soon. Oh and 800 Porsche castings man. Wow. Come on then... which Porsche model is the best in your collection? Wish you a great day mate 🤝🚗💨
@@customcollects I did get several of the new Elite 64. I haven’t opened it yet as I am a bit behind on adding to displays. Too busy buying more cars. Lol. Honestly I am not sure of my favorite Porsche. I collect a lot from the premium and ultra premium brands and there are some really fine examples especially when you venture into resin vs Diecast. I would have to spend a few hours going through my displays to figure out which is best. I do know that the few PGM brand Porsches are some of the best quality as far as detail. Off the top of my head one of my absolute favorites for some reason I can’t explain is the Porsche from the MB 70th anniversary moving parts series sold here in the US in grocery stores. Something about that flat orange color is great. Lastly if you are into racing cars (not necessarily HW) read up on a since defunct brand from Puerto Rico called Tiger Wheels. They were actually designed for this type of racing. I will keep watching. Cheers!
Great video as always man! Loved these races. You're a real one like me, racing the expensive cars no matter what the packaging says hahahaha. Impressed to see that the Speed Machines Porsche didn't end up first having those plastic wheels 🤔 My fav one out of these gotta be the Elite 64 one, it looks very cool and a very beautiful orange, which is a color I usually don't find special at all, but managed to be very pretty on this casting!
You're the best. Thanks for the kind words too. I'm very surprised there isn't more premium Diecast racing on TH-cam but also I understand that mainline basic cars are better at making their way around a hot wheels track. However. There is something really satisfying about racing the more expensive Diecast models 👍 🔥 You're 110% right about how the orange colour makes the elite 64 car stand out in the crowd and the fact that orange is also more of a Lamborghini colour. Now that I think about it. I would have liked the Porsche 928 safari to have been in zamac silver. Lots to enjoy about this one for sure! Wish you a great day always my friend 🚗💨 thanks always for the great support
Hey how's it going! Thanks for the kind words mate. Appreciate the support. Where did you acquire your P-928 final run? 2002 such a long time ago. Definitely one of those top 100 greatest releases of all time for sure 👍
I hate the fact that HW made 928 years ago with P-928 that had larger rear wheels and no interior, and instead of making a new upgraded version, they just made some safari/off-road versions.
Based 👍 but also... that 2002 final run version. God tier! Man I can't stop thinking about it and now I need one so badly!! You're right that hot wheels should release a more traditional and realistic Porsche 928 casting. I'm fully on your team for this idea mate! Well said 👍
You're a real one, my guy! That was said because of the awesome subscribers just like you. Really really put the hours into this video. Wanted to show some new and fun ideas too in the editing. Really appreciate you noticing man. Like I said. You're a real one. Cheers to you my friend 🤝🚗💨

Thanks man! Yes, for sure. The Diecast community on a whole is full of great people and if I'm ever hunting for hot wheels and another collector is sorting through the cars I will also have a great conversation with them. Do you know the reason why the 928 safari wheels don't move independently. I was surprised! Good luck with all you new pieces arriving! I hope you I'll have lots of fun opening. I like to open a new model every day if I can! The best feeling. Wish you a great day my friend! Appreciate you 🚗💨

Matchbox has an anniversary 911 rally car with silver and orange that closely matches the silver hotwheels 928 - they look great together!
