    A shame those Porsche Collector Sets are shelf warmers... But that's on Mattel. 3 out of 4 cars were part of the mainline, even the blue one. The only new casting is yellow 911, and not everyone wants to spend $30-$40 for just one premium car. Thankfully, I got my 911 loose for like $12 alone. Wish I could find RLC 964(or any 964 for that matter) for that price, but thankfully, new 911 Carrera 3.8 from upcoming Fast and Furious line is also a 964.

      Hey man! How’s it going? Appreciate the support and the insightful comment too. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens next with the Greddy set and then the Datsun Bre set. I’d like to think both will sell out but only time will tell. Yes wow those Porsche releases are so good! I’m hyped to grab the silver car for F&F too. But not as excited to try my luck and see if I can scoop up that purple RLC R34… are you going to try for it? Very pleased you got your hands on the yellow 911R shame no mirrors but a cool one either way. I’m looking forward to the Porsche collectors display flying off the shelves when the price drops. It’s funny though because I think £25 is such a good price because UK is $11 for one premium. Every year lots of great new cars to add into our collections and every year still wishing Ferrari and RWB would come back like the good old days! lol. Hope you’re doing well today mate. Always a pleasure to chat with you. Do you try and get your hands on the mail in cars where you are? Is it something you’re interested in?

    I still get old packaging which is a disaster. I live about 120 miles from Jonestown and worry about every shipment. The issues aren’t just the poor shipping box but the terrible internal packing material they use like deflated air pillows. Or the fact they will put 3 cars into a box big enough for 10 and the cars just bounce around like ping pong balls.

      Oh man! Reading this comment gave me anxiety remembering the same feelings dude. It’s the main reason I’ve made two videos covering this topic now because I know that even eBay purchases arrive like mini tanks and I guess it takes a real Diecast collector to understand that the small sheets of bubble wrap and some packing peanuts go a long long way. I wish Mattel would give anyone willing to drive up to their offices in Jonestown the opportunity to pick up orders in person. It would save everyone a bunch of money too. I hope that your next online order gets the new packaging man. It makes the old box look like a joke. You saw me pressing down on it with like one and two fingers and I was going so easy on it. The next packaging I could probably stand on top of it. For real. Appreciate the comment and the support! Thanks so much. Are there any other RLC releases that you’re looking forward to coming up? Wish you a great day my guy 🚗💨

    Amazing! Another great video. I'm also a huge fan of the RLC AMG G Wagon. Somehow Mattel Creations let me buy an additional one after I received my Overdrive shipment. ☺ Have you considered the MoreArt outdoor diorama? Thought about snagging it and placing the G Wagon on it!

      Cheers for the kind words. You’re the best! I can’t believe you got more than one G wagon. That’s super nice for you though! Which numbers did you get? And I’m very pleased you will be setting one free. After having mine for a few days I’ve noticed that the ladder on the rear has a missed opportunity as it would have been awesome if this was made from the same black plastic from the roof. Would have looked more authentic too.
      Yes for sure I’m very likely to cover another fun MoreArt display in the future. You highlighted a really cool one too. I don’t think I dislike any of the MoreArt products and I would own all of them, it’s just a shame I don’t have infinite money 😂

    I prefer the old style box. Never had a problem with them being crushed. Last 3 new boxes I've received have been damaged. However this is more likely an issue with carrier. Never have a problem when it's UPS or USPS.

      Hmm. That’s very strange and there is no way that I would prefer the shipping container that offers less protection. Sorry to hear that yours arrived damaged as I’ve been there too and it feels horrible. When the new style box arrived I genuinely knew straight away that I wanted to make this video as the old box has always let me down and this time as you can see. My box looks in perfect condition. Which country are you? Either way. I wish your future orders safer travels and I hope that your local carrier doesn’t have to work so hard as those guys really do put in long hours so it can’t be easy for them. Thanks for the support and for dropping a comment too. Appreciate you! Which RLC release have you been the most hyped for this year so far?

    Got hold of the R34 GT "pace car" by complete luck. It was hiding behind a Beavis/Butthead Pacer!! I missed out on the 1/43 "Nismo" green one a couple of months ago & needed to reserve one in Northern England! Very pleased, as I have around 85% of the R34s produced by HW. Im missing the earliest silver & a couple of special editions, plus the purple RLC model.

    My cars still arrive in the old style packaging. At least they have been so far. I don't have too much of a problem with shipping since I live in New Jersey and I am next door to Pennsylvania where they are shipped from. Also, my cars arrive by FedEx and not the US Postal Service. Whether this makes a difference I am not sure. But my FedEx driver is cool since he leaves dog treats for my dog when he makes his deliveries 🙂

      Hey! How’s it going? Thanks for dropping an awesome comment. That’s epic that you have a great rapport with your delivery drivers! I’m the same and that’s why I’ve made two videos now about RLC as when the new style of packaging arrived at my house I could tell straight away that the contents inside wouldn’t be destroyed like my Advan Skyline. Like I said. My delivery lady is super cool and kind and I know she handles her deliveries with care. I hope your next RLC purchase will use these new boxes mate as they really are the answer to better managing Hot Wheels collectors expectations. What are you thinking about buying next? I’ll be reporting on my channel if anything changes for sure! Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for the support. Wish you a great day my guy! 🚗💨

You’re right to mention that so many deserving and real Diecast collectors are missing the opportunity to get their hands on more of the awesome RLC releases that hot wheels are putting out this year. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that Mattel extend sales to more countries… perhaps if this new box can stop the majority of complaints for customers then who knows! Maybe I’m right and all of Europe will be able to buy more hot wheels online. Hope you’re doing really great today and finding some fun and new Diecast models in your local hunting spots🇷🇴 appreciate you always mate. Cheers

      Which country are you in? Understandably when you move away from an old product in any business. Consuming the old stock you still have is part of the life cycle to reduce waste. I’d imagine US orders might still use the old packaging for now but that’s why I made this video. It’s always super interesting to see what’s happening with other collectors and find out what’s going on in the Diecast community. Appreciate the comment and support!

      @@customcollects I am from the States and recently participated in the Dollar General mail in for the Nissan Silvia CSP311. I totally understand the importance of not wasting product and with you living across the pond is probably why they may be taking extra care in the packaging. My box did show its weak points, there was no bubble wrap at all. The blister for the RLC is so tight that part of the tampo has worn on the car. Also the box deformed in transport and creased the protective corner. Definitely could be better packaging for RLC's.

      THIS is a very very good question! Thanks for writing a comment about this mate. Firstly. I’m a Hot Wheels collector. I decided years ago that I would just put my money into one brand and build an epic collection that has the same look and feel. I think the bottom line is this… Mini GT has some to say and is a relevant Diecast brand with great prices when compared to HW RLC. But! RLC’s magic is in the paint and when you throw in some side mirrors and an opening feature it’s hard not to like the RLC magic more. Sorry this wasn’t a one word answer. I wish it could be. But you’re right that RLC prices are on the higher side for what you get. What about you dude? Which Diecast brand do you think puts out the best products for RLC prices?

      @customcollects it's funny. Collecting /hunting has been real dry. Now I'm getting more educated on hot wheels, I'm able to be more discerning on what I would like to obtain. Problem is (and I don't mean to be negative here) but most staff in shops really can't be bothered to provide you with coherent info. They never seem to know when the delivery is never mind whats on the itinerary. There's around 10 stores I can sort of depend on for some nice pieces but that's only if I'm there on the day of delivery. The next day is always too late. You know the score. But if the staff can never tell me ...what can you do. Its not like work allows me that much time. Thing is I like to think I'm a curtious collecter. Anytime I've ever scored I always buy the staff a coffee. Always make an effort to be social and friendly ...but some people 😆. Anyhow tomorrow is the big day. Thursday is always the main day. So will do the rounds before work. I was thinking maybe I could unsub and re-sub...might give me magic again lol.
