I've been waiting for Bertone's Stratos Zero. It has a great story and was at Monterey Car Week this year winning an award at Pebble Beach. It was part of an Art museum exhibit a few years back, that lead to the book titled: Dream Cars - Innovative Design, Visionary Ideas.
My prediction is the Porsche, Mazda, and Bugatti will fly off the pegs (in that order), the rally car, and the Lancia will be peg warmers, and the chase will sell second hand for a max amount of 45.00.
The Metro is nice for people who missed out on the team transport version with the same deco. Ill be looking for it. I think the Porsche will sit. Theres like a bajillion different yellow air cooled 911s lol
This is what happens with a good car design. That Porsche doesn't even need tampos, the design is beautiful. The zero, I agree with you, the black color of the chase never existed, the copper color did. Another icon. Very good set.
As a 787B enthusiast; I can't get over how wrong the rear lights are. It still looks amazing along side my Gran Turismo version though which was also sort of based on the test version
The livery on the MG is a take on the Mobil 1 / Computervision livery. It sold for £425,500 Both Ayrton Senna and Colin McRae at the time both declared the 6R4 the ultimate driver's car, McRae in fact commissioned two to enjoy when not competing.
@Lamley Group Try cutting the blister with a flip out utility knife. Use a mouse pad to space the car up off the table, lay the knife on the table and spin the car to cut down the right side across the bottom and up the left side. easy peasy
Hmmm . . . I don't think it will be a peg warmer here in Europe. Or maybe I am wrong and only nostalgic old men care about such iconic and legendary piece of art.
My local Walmart tends to get premiums later than most (if they get them at all) They still have leftovers from Boulevard/Exotic Envy/Team Transport/Jey Leno Garage box sets
you at least get the boulevards, i really have to look all around switzerland, sometimes even germany/france to find a shop where they sell them, missed the 964 because of it, really wanted that one, luckily found the countach though
Phillip Sarofim owns the Stratos Zero. It sold in 2011 for $1.08 million, don't know if that is what he paid for it. The Mazda 787B is worth $1.8 to $2.4 million and is still owned by Mazda.
I think it did not. My understanding is that they had to use a prop, because owners refused to allow Jackson to dance on top of the car. Which I totally understand.
@ I was referring to a scene where MJ transforms into a car after seeing a lucky star in the sky. I’m not sure but I think the car was a Lancia Zero. Gotta watch the movie to confirm it.
You are almost right. When he saw the car, he requested to use it for his video. Bertone while happy that ,MJ thought so highly of their concept, weren't taken with the idea of loaning out they're prized one of to some music video. Who knows how it might get treated. What to do then. How about they very carefully pull an exact mold of the car and then they can make as many copies as they need. That's what they did. There was a British magazine that did an article on what happened to the video copy prop. Near as I can recall, a guy who builds custom cars, pretty nice one actually, saw an advertisement for one of them( I think they made a total of two), and he bought it. He then very painstakingly built it up to make it a running car. I just googled the car. The builder's name is Andy Saunders. It also says he used a Fiat X-19 as his base on which to build the runner .👍
My 787B has an issue where the front wheels rub against the body of the car, which is understandable due to the low stance. However, I dont know if Im unlucky or it happens to all the premium 787Bs. Its a pity since this car is nearly perfect for me:)))
i wont even see this set lol all i keep seeing at my walmarts is the JayLeno Diorama set…. wth??? does walmart know that theres always new sets coming out? and not just make one thing that they sell 😂😭😭
Awesome as always John👍🏻 I think the Lancia Zero concept is the winner in the set but every collector has their favorite 👍🏻I love the retro look on the Lancia😊 🔥🤘🏻💀🤘🏻🔥
11:22 there is the saying "every true man carry the knife", so, where is yours? Tha can opener is very handy for opening Hot Wheels blisters... just sayin'...
Not a big fan of this set. Definitely love the Porsche and Bugatti but the set seems leftovers of a series of cars they couldn’t figure out what to do with. I’ll make my final decision when I see them in person.
I love this set. The stratos zero is my least favorite BY FAR... even though I LOVE the actual Stratos. I'd have preferred the upcoming silver one from the 2 pack in this at least, or again an actual OG Stratos in a new livery (I think the only premium is the red one from spettacolare?). I also somewhat dislike the porsche, it's too plain and similar to the mainline releases, you even show that later in the video next to the white one, and I even like the mainline rims better. The other 3 though are basically perfect, amazing color for a bugatti, and the metro livery is so appealing as well.
The Autoart version of the Veyron threw this out of the park. Hopefully we see the Veyron return to 1/64 again now that the legendary AUTOart is returning to 1/64
That Mazda is borrowing heavily from the Porsche MK 787 body. I'm not upset about that. The paint job on it and plastic spoiler are a deal breaker for me. Don't feel bad for me. I just got that new 200+mph MK 787 RC car. for $400 on Amazon. You could say I've accepted it for what it is and what it can become. The same could be said of my 2002 Hasbro Astro Mech which I love and adore.
I was lucky enough to see the Statos Zero in person at Car Week last year so naturally every version of the new casting will go directly into the collection, at least the non-chase versions. And the real Stratos Zero did get sold in auction to it’s current owner.
The mg metro is awesome. Hope they keep making more group b cars, namely the peugeot 205

@@thecloud1432 Porsche will fly off I think
Nobody’s leaving any porsche on pegs even if it’s re released multiple times
@@deathstroke3809 they can have it 😂
Yuuppp
We totally need a Renown inspired livery for the 787B
There was, the 2024 K case 787b mainline
@UKhotwheelz I mean as a Premium.
@@ken2k318 With FULL livery. Even the STH didn't have the full paint scheme, let alone sponsors.
Licensing costs
picked up the 6R4 and Stratos at Smyth's on the Whitebirk estate, they had the chase Stratos but I wanted the bronze car for originality
Nice set, the MG Metro, Mazda 787B and the Lancia Stratos Zero are my most faves here. Thanks for the vid and the Bugatti Veyron history flashback.
IIRC, the MG Metro was in a Team Transport (red and yellow) with the HW Rally Hauler
And the more recent Rally Premium box set
The Lancia Stratos looks fantastic!
This is what happens with a good car design. That Porsche doesn't even need tampos, the design is beautiful. The zero, I agree with you, the black color of the chase never existed, the copper color did. Another icon. Very good set.
There was only one, it was a concept... so the 0 should have been the veyron
As a 787B enthusiast; I can't get over how wrong the rear lights are. It still looks amazing along side my Gran Turismo version though which was also sort of based on the test version
UA-cam doesn't allow links, but one of the first images when you search the MG Metro 6R4 is the blue and white ComputerVision livery
the lancia is ugly as hell

What's the point of having an interior and then doing a full black opaque glass area? Bad trend with Hot Wheels recently
It's so annoying
Honestly very happy that the Lancia is going to be a peg warmer. Iconic concept. It will look nice next to the Aero Sculpt, especially the chase.

Mine still has the HW Off Road from the end of 2023 🥲

These sets are so great, a Drive from the Hammer, look at that artwork is a Las Vegas Street Scene vibes.
The 2.7 Porsche I have the red and the orange one. The red one is my favorite color of them.
Luckily for me, most, if not all of these fantastic cars will be available at the pegs, as none seem to be reseller-friendly.
I don't understand why the mainline has a metal spoiler and the premium doesn't.
Only ordered the 787b
How many variations of that 911 are we going to get!
IKR WE GOT 4 THIS YEAR THIS BOULEVARD MYSTERY PACK AND MULTIPACK EXCLUSIVE LIKE BRUH
@@rouge4736 Agreed! I wish they would bring more models and brands out versus the same casting with different paint each time
First time watching im new to collecting. Like what ive seen so i sub.
He gets them for free, hardly ever pays, fyi and never watches movies to know where or what movie cars did.
@@alexander1485 Yeah that can happen when you work extremely hard for years to create one of the most successful diecast channels on the planet!
I missed your diecast intro, please do it again for this new year
Dam good set for the start of 2025
13:12 I'm still looking for that White ColorWay.
Love the Mazda and Rally. Thanks Lamley 👍😎
Still waiting for a recolor of the 911r from the boxed set.
Phillip Sarofim owns the Stratos Zero. It sold in 2011 for $1.08 million, don't know if that is what he paid for it. The Mazda 787B is worth $1.8 to $2.4 million and is still owned by Mazda.
Its worth whatever Mazda wants for it 😂
I like this set, but I would like to see chrome on some of those wheels!
i really like that Lancia! and the mazda! metro is also def a pick up, if i find it!
I'm already seeing the race day pack at WM.
🇧🇷 Esse set ainda não chegou no Japão 🇯🇵 estou mais ansioso agora que vi no vídeo … 😊 muito legal o vídeo ….
Unless I’m mistaken the Lancia Zero car made an appearance in the Michael Jackson “Moonwalker” movie.
I think it did not. My understanding is that they had to use a prop, because owners refused to allow Jackson to dance on top of the car. Which I totally understand.
@ I was referring to a scene where MJ transforms into a car after seeing a lucky star in the sky. I’m not sure but I think the car was a Lancia Zero. Gotta watch the movie to confirm it.
IIRC, the Lancia Stratos Zero (with some modifications I think ) was in a Michael Jackson video.

The chase is cool too!
Stratos Zero ❤! It’s about time.
Very cool castings lamley group
Add the Zero to the 2025 noms list 😊
Sadly the MG will be the peg warmer but this is a really solid set.
My 787B has an issue where the front wheels rub against the body of the car, which is understandable due to the low stance. However, I dont know if Im unlucky or it happens to all the premium 787Bs. Its a pity since this car is nearly perfect for me:)))
Exciting preview! Rare and exotic vibes with Hammer Drop$! 🚗✨
I want to see the helicopter that just passed by, man 😔
i wont even see this set lol all i keep seeing at my walmarts is the JayLeno Diorama set…. wth??? does walmart know that theres always new sets coming out? and not just make one thing that they sell 😂😭😭
Awesome as always John👍🏻 I think the Lancia Zero concept is the winner in the set but every collector has their favorite 👍🏻I love the retro look on the Lancia😊
🔥🤘🏻💀🤘🏻🔥
Stratos Zero has a Countach vibe
11:22 there is the saying "every true man carry the knife", so, where is yours? Tha can opener is very handy for opening Hot Wheels blisters... just sayin'...
MG is my favourite bc its not common for hotwheels to make an MG
I thought hammer drop signified high speed king's 😆 Bugatti,thought the porsche was the yellow bird 🤷♂️
Mirage and drift 😊
Third😅 cool set🔥🔥🔥
Where did u found it?
I think he got early access
He has a UA-cam channel
what a good set

787b I hope it warms the pegs so i could grab 2
The Autoart version of the Veyron threw this out of the park. Hopefully we see the Veyron return to 1/64 again now that the legendary AUTOart is returning to 1/64
1/64 is the gateway scale, but hardcore collectors only collect 1/43 or 1/18 (or bigger)
11:11 absolutely awesome, color is good, wheels are good... the only shadow is the chase.
That Mazda is borrowing heavily from the Porsche MK 787 body. I'm not upset about that.
The paint job on it and plastic spoiler are a deal breaker for me. Don't feel bad for me.

1. Lancia 2. Mazda 3. MG 4. Porchse 5. Bugatti
Lancia is the one I am after.
Lancia was the car michael jackson transformers into on moonwalk
riped apart alot of these porsches , the 71 911 casting basic and prem use the same bases as that one.
I like the set, but the paint style they’ve been using for premium (dot matrix/grainy look) is getting worse I think.
only Bugatti and Porsche i will take from this set if i find them on pegs.
Wish they made the Bugatti or the Porsche the chase.
stratos is cool but not being able to see the interior really ruins it IMO. Always bummed when a model has a blacked out windshield/
Awesome set!!!

Pass on this one
Honestly, I'd leave that chase on the peg. It's not for me.
Fuchs, one of the most popular wheel on the German cars. With a name like hot wheels 😂 you'd think it would be tastefully done. Silver, yuck
Hot Wheels needs to work better on the window trim and colors...
FINALLY, a set that isn’t based on Fast & Furious.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Such ignorance in the comments regarding the Zero. it's a shame!
Bugatti
Love to find the Statos chase!!❤
I’ll pass on this whole set
ok
Same for me.
same here
Thanks
More for me
awful red spoiler ! Cant imagine how stupid must be creators to put it
The headlights on the Porsche are awful.
Junk set. It's like Mattel doesn't even care anymore.
Mg metro best
911 suck a beautiful car
Such
Pin me first
Chase is weak dos t match the picture
