Hey DK finally catching up on videos. This was fun to watch. C63 is badass right? And of everything you said on the vid, I was most entertained by your comments on not starting another collection. That feeling is so real hahahahahaha. The curse of so much good stuff. And thanks for the kind words as well. Happy belated birthday. I’ll send you a gift 6 months late, or 6 months early.
Happy birthday. The C63 AMG tooling's first release was in Sunbeam yellow colour followed by the Lamley release. The Era car stuff looks in line with Tomica Premium. The packaging is also about the same, they are just in a plastic blister than in a bag.
The 'Tarmac Works/Lamley' Mercedes looks very good, very "MiniGT-ish" as you said. The VW Santana from "Era Car" (also known as VW Passat in Europe) and the Nissan GT-R are nice, but for their pricepoint i'd expect these to all have metal bases (the ERA cars sell between 11 to 15 Euros each in Europe). "MBX City Drivers" and the "MBX Wagons" are nice 5-packs from Matchbox. Another nice episode. Happy Birthday Champion!
Happy birthday! I bought the Porsche livery Volkswagen T1 but I wasn't able to find the Mercedes-Benz 300SEL before Ontario toy stores (and the toy sections in Walmart and supermarkets) were shut down in early April (and they're still closed until maybe mid-June).
Happy Birthday. We dont know each other but I have learned alot from you in the last year. Peace my freind. Btw as far as Lamley goes ppl are missing the bigger picture. It's just a marketing tactic cause hes got such a large audience.
The only thing that I don’t like on the Tarmac Mercedes Benz is the spoiler. The car doesn’t have enough or a proper body kit to make the spoiler look nice
Nice. I have seen those ERA GTRs. I have thought about getting one. But, I wanted to know how it compares size wise to others. I hope they are not on the large size. I like the Hot Wheels' version size.
You don't look a day over 43? Happy birthday old man!I don't know why people hate on lamely when each and everyone would love to be in his shoes? I personally have learned and enjoyed his and your channels., thank's.
Maybe because he is paid by some brands to say nice things about them when he reviews new releases? Tomica Limited Vintage is one of them. The brand is expensive, doesn't make that much detailed of a model and has paint problems. He hasn't mentioned that in his videos. Many people got into the brand due to the videos and now experience those problems. That's just one brand. So it's easy to see where the hate comes from.
@@traviswalker8933 fair enough, but you are aware that these things are toys and not investment, right? By what you like not what a paid sales man says. Do you think Ferrari tells you it costs $5000.00 for an oil change? Do you think there customers care? You know the old saying, if you have to ask how much something costs, well then you probably can't afford it.
@@sjc7773 the problem is, they are not considered as toys anymore. Look at how expensive the TLV Ferraris are. They are now going for triple digit prices from their $60 retail price. Which was overpriced to begin with. Then there is hotwheels RLC. A glorified mainline casting which cost $30-40 when new is now going at crazy prices with Hotwheels screwing over people at pre orders while Lamley talked positive about RLC. The main point is that if someone has reached to a level where they are considered as influential in the diecast community, they should be honest about the brand and the model they review and not just be like a sales man as there are new people getting into the hobby which buy these brands based on their reviews.
@@traviswalker8933 your taking this way to personally. That's his job you just said it yourself. Personally I think he's a bit of a nerd if you want the truth. He like to say the words of the day and didn't know the definition of rake as it aplys ti car/motorcycles. Again buy what you like not what a paid employee tells you. He's not trying to deceive you, shit he doesn't even know you exist. Ford tells you there positive attributes and you don't get mad at them? And if you can't drive it, it's a tiy even if it cost a million dollars. I love toys!!! And I hate scalpers, that's who you should aim your hate! Because they are targeting you and will do everything in their power to screw you, not mattle lamely or Walmart.
@@sjc7773 I'm not taking anything personally. I'm just telling you what causes people to hate on Lamley. A point to add is that he's not an employee but a paid reviewer as he gets stuff from brands for free to promote them in a way. I personally don't even watch his channel and stuff and buy what I like. But for you to say that 1/64 cars are toys and not investments is a very wrong assumption. I have cited some examples and there are many more in existence. Also, 1/64 cars are premium collectible models now and have come a long way in 10 years.
Lamley doesn't draw hate because he gets things for free - that would be a petty reason to dislike anyone. He draws hate because he works for the Man, hypes whatever the Man tells him to hype, thus fueling the scalper market, making it difficult for collectors like me to get the everyday, otherwise mundane stuff we want, that instead sells for 300% markup on eBay. However, as you say, he otherwise seems like a swell guy with a really nice backyard
@@lamleygroup: That doesn’t impress me much. You know how whenever Trump wanted to get a word out to the public and he wished to do it through someone who wouldn’t counter him or object to what he was saying and he’d turn to Fox for that sympathetic, non-objecting ear? You (Lamley) are the “Fox” sympathetic ear for Mattel and, I’m guessing, whoever else is selling through Lamley partners. And while I realize that die-cast collecting doesn’t exactly have a professional news wing dedicated to looking for the true skinny on what’s going on in the die-cast world, it might be said that you’re the closest thing we’ve got because YOU get to talk to the decision-makers at Mattel. But while the rest of us are all “What’s up with scalping?” and “Why are there so many supers available directly out of Malasia?”, all you’re doing is showing upcoming models. And when you DO respond to such issues, it’s always with dismissive comments like “Did it ever occur to you that it might be collectors?” and “It is what it is.” That’s where I get frustrated with Lamley: Because you’re not out hunting and everything is just handed to you, you are dismissive of these questions. But as a thwarted hunter, I would love to know what’s up with scalping and theft at the manufactory. You, Lamley, are the only person who is in any position to report that information to us. That’s my objection to Lamley: You are using your platform for previews and sales rather than for news.
@@Championdjk yeah, I typically refrain from buying era models unless it's a really unique casting. I have mostly had negative experiences with them: missing lenses, melted interior pieces, ill-fitting doors. It hasn't been good

Great episode, watched it start to finish. Happy birthday.
Happy B Day to the Champ. Great content and vids as always. Thumbs down to these thumbs down trolls. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Happy Birthday Championdjk..
Happy B-day man. I find all BMWs look the same so none except the i8 look special. I'd rather have the new RS6 Avant over any BMW.
Happy birthday, I got to see the interview yesterday, it was very interesting.
Happy Birthday!! From simple kustoms!! In south Carolina!!
Good episode, and Happy Birthday! I like that era car vw.
Happy birthday .. your follower from the Middle East .. Iraq🥰

Hot wheels are larger than 1/64 in most cases.
I would say they are definitely close to being right on 1:64
Happy birthday from Albuquerque dude!!

Definitely the Mercedes. The VW van is a close second. But the Owdi is the least appealing.

Hi, Champs Shoe Store Inc. make a video of your non 1:64 scale cars.

No one has ever told me what to say, other than telling me when something is being released.
