  • This is a playset I've been wanting for years and I finally was able to snag a new-in-box set! While the build quality wasn't quite what I was expecting, and the stickers and assembly process was extra difficult, this still remains one of the most badass diecast playsets ever!

    Had this set as a kid. My ALL TIME FAVORITE TOY. I remember spending countless hours playing with this set

      That’s awesome. I’m so happy to finally have one - I always thought it was one of the coolest, most unique sets HWs has ever made.

    So THIS is where the idea for the 2001 game Hot Wheels Extreme Racing came from

    I’m kinda surprised the idea for a desecrated lady liberty passed for a kids set especially back when parents really cared about that sorta thing. Personally I think it’s really sweet but that HAD to be an awkward pitch that somehow passed the suits “so the idea is that it’s lady liberty but her face pops out and she’s now a post apocalyptic base”

    • @64Wheels
      @64Wheels  2 місяці тому +5

      Haha that’s what I thought too - that’s why I said the 90s were the different time in the video bc I really, really doubt they would be able to make a set like this nowadays for multiple reasons.

    Thank you so much for your video! I loved this toyline so much as a kid. I collected all the cars, the Liberty Base and even the Battle Copter (all sealed). I don't know why, but to had this as a child was so cool and they don't make toys like this anymore. A kind of kid friendly Mad Max set :)

  • @Scotty-Z70

    As someone who owned this in 98 I enjoyed seeing it again. It was always such a pain to assemble, You kind of see why few have survived. With Everything just barely held together, and missiles and exploding battle action bits to lose.

    • @64Wheels
      @64Wheels  Місяць тому +1

      Definitely a pain, ha. Now I know why it’s so hard to find complete out of the box because of how many parts there are too lose too! Cool set though and I wish they made more stuff like this now (but making it easier to put together).

  • @Scotty-Z70

    seal the stickers with modge podge OR spray sealant from your craft store.

    When you have stickers that act this way use a Hair Dryer and warm the Glue then can pill them so easy.

    It's so nice to see this playset complete and in working condition finally! I bought an incomplete, used set in the 2010s and I think the light switches never worked for me. I can't even remember if I have the helicopter, though. Thanks!

    I recall seeing these on clearance and passed but always wondered about it with the Mad Max - Escape From New York vibe. Really impressive how much detail went into it.

  • @Scotty-Z70
    @Scotty-Z70 Місяць тому +1

    Plaid Stallions just did a video on the Tonka series that looks like it would work with this, if this were bigger, or that was shrunk. Metal Monsters, i think

  • @Rexter2k
    @Rexter2k Місяць тому +1

    These toys weren’t available in the country where I live, but I was lucky enough to get the helicopter and a few cars on a vacation. I loved them as a kid, super awesome! Great quality, plenty details and overall well made and great design. Liberty Base was featured on the packaging for the toys I got, but I knew it would never be possible for me to get it. Oh how many nights I spent in my bed looking at those pictures.

    Overall, really really awesome playset! That Liberty statue centerpiece is EVERYTHING. I absolutely love that tower. The inside layout inspires my imagination, with all the different little details. My favorite details were the machine gun nests in the crown. The two "domino" pieces on either side of the console. The winding staircase on the top level. The missile launcher actually has a place for the unused missiles to store. The bottom floor sticker with the character "rugs" looks fantastic!
    Great review! Thanks for sharing this one. It was good to see.

    • @64Wheels
      @64Wheels  2 місяці тому +1

    Had this as a kid and play with it until it was broken, but somewhere i have the cars in a box but i think not more completed 😅 today i feel good reminders to old toys. The Toys today are not the same good things like in the 90s. Mummys Alive Figures. Hot Wheels with the other Mad Max Cars and so much more...

    I had it years after it debuted, it was discontinued, and it was from the sales area of ​​a Walmart type store
    I didn't even remember anything other than hotwels, if someone had asked me, I would have said it was from scape from ny... or whatever they say, the snake movie xd. A sorcerer disappeared it

    I want to add i hope you will find the Matchbox Metropolis which was the Superman Returns from 2006-07 and i think also the expensive playset because it was licensed by DC Comics.
