Great video Walter. I fully support what Zach said in his letter, your energy and vibe is totally unique in this space and it makes me enjoy my hobby more know it can be anything I want it to be. Thank you
Heck yeah you got my package! Glad you like it. Enjoy it whatever way you want to. We are all on our own die cast journeys. Huge thanks for the shout out as well. Happy new year!
That Kool Kombi is freaking, awesome, very nicely done. I am going to take those full peg vibes and hopefully find something brother. Walk into target on Friday. Had a good feeling. Go to the diecast aisle and a fellow had 6 of the Rex Porsches from the race day set. I am still trying to score one and this fella would not give one up. That is why this hobby cannot be enjoyed all the time. My son has completely given up on the hobby and after many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many years I try to stick with it. I'm gonna take your vibes and run with it Brother, thank you.
Those situations are a kick in jewels. I've been there before. I don't ask buyers if they'd let one go. It just solidifies their reason for being resellers
Sweet finds! Since my kids have been home for winter break I haven’t had to do the whole routine of getting them up early, getting breakfast ready, etc. So the whole week I’d been waking up at 5:30am going hunting, and I can tell you that’s the sweet spot and when ALL your scalpers are going. I found my first STH, and had first dibs at that latest modern classics set (3 cases there, no chase but all good). Surprisingly that Forester is a peg warmer here, and I think it’s perfect! Best casting of the set in my humble opinion
Appreciate your love for Matchbox as well. I'm always amazed at the little details Matchbox offers (even tho that Datsun is pretty scuffed! lol), that Hotwheels tends to overlook or dismiss! But I am a collector and lover of them both... well... and pretty much ALL diecast! lol
Yo! That Kombi was really rad! Dude did an excellent job. We’ve been on a road trip for the holidays and have been hitting stores as we see them. It’s been fun. Take care and good video!
Great show Walter! Nice finds! The custom kombi is like that! Did find 1-5 Modern Classics at Target and waiting on "Rexy" to complete the RaceDay set!
I can can understand wanting to stream line your collection I only collect Mopar way to many Rabbit holes to go down and with the Scalpers taking everything in sight. For me it's about collecting what I like not what everybody else is collecting, I hold the power over my collection not the scalpers or what everyone is collecting.
6:39 I feel that I sold my entire collection because first of all I didn’t have the room anymore second of all I didn’t know what I had and lastly I just bought because they were “cool” not because they spoke to me. That was months ago now I am back on it very choosy on what I buy. Only things that speak to me. It go so bad I would have anxiety whenever I bought new cars. At that point it was a job not a hobby.
Walter it's not allowing me to post you a picture but I have the modern Classics Mercedes with the silver around the rims! Such a sweet casting I was trying to post it for you! I know you would absolutely love this
Nice haul! Love the Porsche 911 GT3. I have not been successful in my hunts; I have been trying to find Ford Mustang GTD from the 2025 B Case but scalpers keep buying them up. Thank you for the video!
Hey there's also a wheel variation of the Falken Mercedes Benz. There is a 5 spoke rim variation, I have both the 5 spoke and 6-7 spoke variation. I can't remember how many spokes 6 or 7 but it's the one you showed
Merry christmas from uk. Next year i will be buying less. Iwont be completing sets. Im gonna buy what i like....try not to belive the hype . Save my£££$$$$$$£££. Full peg vibes to everyone ✌️
I see you already getting some C case cars. That Porsche is sweet. reminds me of a similar looking 10 pack exclusive Porsche Outlaw. Those will make a good pair. You got the mailed It! T.H.. Love that casting, and I'm gonna hunt that one down high and low. Loving the premiums in your collection. I really love the Screamin' Hauler. Got almost all of them except that one. The latest Neon Speeders set is pretty sweet. I already bought the Dodge and Chevelle Muscle Cars from the set, but I do want the Porsche and the Mini Cooper with the gorilla tampo. The animal tampos really caught my eye this time. I like the colors on the Transformers set. Thankxs for the showcase.
Ma gee being a collector has been getting annoying lately..Especially hunting for the premiums..why do some dudes have to pick up so many of one car ????
I may buy two of the same sometimes. One for opening and one for keeping on the card😊 but I agree about those who buy multiple of the same cars.leavve some for the rest of us😊
Hey man hope you had a good Christmas, got some good stuff and food. I'm stoked for the Brian O'Conner set, I've never been able to get the silver and blue R34, so hopefully this time. Matchbox has the Integra with circular lights coming soon too. Happy New Years!!
Imo the th mailed it should've kept the mainline artwork. And that nissan is NICE i love that it looks like a late 90's livery to me. I have 1 open and 1 still packaged.
Hey Walter, I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to find that green Mitsubishi, the silver Skyline and the white Supra. Yesterday I went to a grocery store (north NJ) and I found the F case Super Treasure Hunt El Camino and the regular TH Ford Mustang Mach E I'm keeping the Super, but the Mach E will probably be traded for something else (depends who wants it)
I found my wanted hotwheels they miraculously showed up at my local stop got the featured set and the gold Bumblebee now I just need Optimus. No way I can afford Barricade.
17:25 That BRE set is not the most recent premium collectors set. In fact, the most recent one is the one with the Mooneyes boat. I have been patiently waiting to find that BRE set though, but with the more recent set (w/the boat) showing up around here, I'm starting to worry that the BRE set has come and gone. It's both a relief and a worry to see you with it: a relief because it may still be coming out, but a worry because I know you're hunting out-of-the-way places, where that BRE set maybe arrived three months ago and has been sitting on the shelf all this time waiting for you to nab it. 😞
Amazing finds my guy! Thanks for sharing those with us!! And WOW, that gentlman that sent you that package and his story got me a bit emotional. My wife is so precious to me, I couldn't imagine. His work is amazing, and on a friggin PALLET!! Great touch. I'm a big fan of variations myself. I like to get variations whenever I have the opportunity, I see it like a mini treasure hunt, finding the little things that make one "identicle" version of a car different from it's counterpart. Hoped continued full peg vibes sent your way as always! - Paul A.
My daughters boy friend after he gained our trust stole some wife’s jewelry and two large boxes of all my hot wheels I collected since I was a kid back in 68, after they were stolen and cried for days that was 2015, I just started collecting again ,, I’m learning what’s new rare all that starting over forget the past
Awesome gift from Zack. You should definitely cut those zip ties off and check that baby in hand.
Nice job. Very talented.
Great video Walter. I fully support what Zach said in his letter, your energy and vibe is totally unique in this space and it makes me enjoy my hobby more know it can be anything I want it to be.
Thank you
Thank you, and I'm ultra happy to know my channel helps. Thanks for riding along, and sending those full peg vibes your way
Heck yeah you got my package! Glad you like it. Enjoy it whatever way you want to. We are all on our own die cast journeys. Huge thanks for the shout out as well. Happy new year!
Journey. That's a great choice of words to describe this hobby.
11:17 wow, Walt, that black horse is wild !!!! Great video, as always, bro !
Thank you, and it is! Solid Porsche.

That's how you do it!
I love that you expressed your opinion on the STH toss, and now John makes a spectacle of it this year haha. Much love
Lol. Not surprised. I don't hate the critter, don't like him either though
That UPS kool kombi was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Top notch
Appreciate your love for Matchbox as well. I'm always amazed at the little details Matchbox offers (even tho that Datsun is pretty scuffed! lol), that Hotwheels tends to overlook or dismiss! But I am a collector and lover of them both... well... and pretty much ALL diecast! lol

Yep, just want to add the castings i want.

Minus the post... it's pretty good otherwise
Thanks for the video & the peg vibes brotherman. Happy Sunday
Most welcome. Hope the hunts have been good
Yo I swear for a min I was about to say where is Oso! LOL
Ha!
Please do not feed the scalpers. We thank you for your cooperation. 😎
I don't know any scalpers personally, I know a ton of collectors that have adjusted to the hobby as it is.
Good to see people steering clear of scalpers. They are proverbial “turds in the pouch bowl”
Another Great Video. Has to be one of my favorite channels. 👍
Stokes me out to hear this. Going hopefully only get better
Hi Walter
Do you have any hotwheels track's. I still have my old track from 1968 yes still works great!
Do I? Is this your first visit to my channel? I have a motto. #dontforgettoplay
@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 sorry now I remember yes you do have track's they are sick. Thanks for showing again.
Right on, a hobby should ALWAYS be fun.
Right?!?!?
Hey there's also a wheel variation of the Falken Mercedes Benz. There is a 5 spoke rim variation, I have both the 5 spoke and 6-7 spoke variation. I can't remember how many spokes 6 or 7 but it's the one you showed
Dang. I'll keep.my eye out
Merry christmas from uk. Next year i will be buying less. Iwont be completing sets. Im gonna buy what i like....try not to belive the hype . Save my£££$$$$$$£££.
Full peg vibes to everyone ✌️
Very good idea, and I'll join you.
Stevie Williams in The Reason on VHS yo! Love Park!
Legendary vid
Awesome finds and great video, as always. Im gonna keep looking for the FNF set.
There's a new new set coming, and I'll talk it about on the next war report
@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 Awesome look forward to it.

Ebay
Bruh… fools out there taking advantage. The big homie Walter taught me to not feed the scalpers. I only buy and trade from and with collectors.
Scalpers. They are ruining the hobby.
I may buy two of the same sometimes. One for opening and one for keeping on the card😊 but I agree about those who buy multiple of the same cars.leavve some for the rest of us😊
Scalpers don’t care about anyone else they buy all and sell eBay for way too much greedy greedy
Our auto stores in ABQ. don't have squat!!
Car guys are usually into diecast, too
You should do a video on all your hotwheels years how you set up your display that type of thing
Keep up the good work
Hmmm. Perhaps. Thought I'd save that for some interviews I have in the future
Ah Snap!!😊❤
Ayyy
Hey man hope you had a good Christmas, got some good stuff and food. I'm stoked for the Brian O'Conner set, I've never been able to get the silver and blue R34, so hopefully this time. Matchbox has the Integra with circular lights coming soon too. Happy New Years!!
Some great castings coming to market
The Mercedes from modern classics is a zamac style. Good find
Shiny things.
Those modern classics haven't even made it onto the pegs yet in new england.
Dang
I didn't know DGK and Kaido House did a collab. So sick!
Boards, clothes. And accessories
The odds of me finding that fast and furious Brian set in my town are slim to none LOL so I guess if I really want it I'll have to invest online.
Good video
Imo the th mailed it should've kept the mainline artwork. And that nissan is NICE i love that it looks like a late 90's livery to me. I have 1 open and 1 still packaged.
Nice. Some good castings around at the moment
Thank you for all the info my brother [ GO GET SOME OF THAT]
Ayyyy! 🎉🎉🎉
Hey Walter, I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to find that green Mitsubishi, the silver Skyline and the white Supra.
Yesterday I went to a grocery store (north NJ) and I found the F case Super Treasure Hunt El Camino and the regular TH Ford Mustang Mach E
I'm keeping the Super, but the Mach E will probably be traded for something else (depends who wants it)
Nice score! Still finding stuff from last year. That's awesome! And why you don't have to rush in this hobby
❤❤🎉🎉🎉
👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
I found my wanted hotwheels they miraculously showed up at my local stop got the featured set and the gold Bumblebee now I just need Optimus. No way I can afford Barricade.
@johndunn4060 sending those full peg vibes your way my dude

Yeah, I mentioned that. 18:05 Sorry you thought you had to type that long correction.
@@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 Actually, it wasn't intended as a correction. It was intended as a lament for my chances of finding that set myself.
Sending full peg vibes
Wow. Always appreciated. 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Just floored me. Can't imagine how hard it was for Zach to come out of those dark times.
Hot. Wheels. Transformers explained. and. Card. Varinnts
Hey Kenny. Hope you had a great holiday.
I feel like Matchbox cars are much nicer than Hot Wheels cleaner look
In a lot of instances, I think they are.
Happy new year walter..
Hope 2025 brings you all the peace and happiness..also hope 2025 brings you some good hunting!! 🎉🍺💪👍
Woohoo! Sending the dame vibes your way. We deserve a great year of diecast
The Benz would be wayyyyyyy better with some 5 spoke black rims
Oof. I'm liking the dishes. Mercedes would use these before spokes I think
What can brown do for you
Lol
What happened to the giveaways???
I've stepped away from giveaways. Don't like what it brings to the channel.
My daughters boy friend after he gained our trust stole some wife’s jewelry and two large boxes of all my hot wheels I collected since I was a kid back in 68, after they were stolen and cried for days that was 2015, I just started collecting again ,, I’m learning what’s new rare all that starting over forget the past
Omg. Karma will get him back. Welcome back to the hobby!
Indian or native american (I know in the 1870s-1890s native american slang was indian)? they are completely different.
You've been around since the 1870's. Jk. Yeah, I believe he had the same discomfort with "Native American" as I do with "African American"
This hobby has been infiltrated by people with zero class, zero manners. These people are NOT collectors, in my opinion.
They are not collectors
