I can't express how grateful I am for this video. I've been looking EVERYWHERE for ANY information about it and I never found anything. I live in the LA area too, and as a new collector (and younger, as a teen) this is great information to know for years to come. See you next year in LA!👍🏻👍🏻
Attended my first Collectors' Convention last April in Columbus, OH. The most difficult part is getting the tickets I subscribed to the Hot Wheels Newsletter which provided the OPPORTUNITY to purchase a ticket. I submitted my application - USPS only - the next day. That was successful. I plan to attend the 2024 Collectors' Convention in Atlanta, GA. I had a blast with some of the nicest people I have ever met! The quality of my collection probably improved 30% in both quality and value from the experience.
Thanks for the info! Just subscribed to the newsletter. Didn't know it was going to be local in Charlotte so definitely will be going. GF literally went "Oh no..." LOL
Just wanted to give you a shout out to thank you the information. I have been wanting to go ton the LA convention for a while and have not been able to get tickets. Maybe next I'll finally get go now that I have more info on how to get a chance to get tickets. Thanks again John, love your content and insight. Keep up the great videos 👍👍
That's funny put a face to a name? Yeah only face you never see John from Lamley 🤣 I been to many conventions and never seen his face. That's too funny
This video was painful to watch! Lamley, Hi! Man, you put together a NICE video. I just recently re-discovered my love of Hot Wheels, so I'm new to HW collecting as an adult. (I'm really an action figure guy as far as toy collecting goes.) Just thought I should finally chime in and tell you that I really, really love what you do. This channel and your web site. Thank You!
I killed two birds with one stone. The Hot Wheels Legends Tour was at Temecula Walmart on Saturday. I left the hotel just before 4am and got to Temecula Walmart at 5:10am. Waited in line at 5:15am till they started selling at 8am. Got to see the cars that participated in the Legends Tour. About 10am I headed back to the convention.
A bro. I want that gold wramblin wrecker so bad. That’s my fav casting. My favorite hot wheels I own are a minty old phone number red line and harder to find blue window one that’s carded.
Would I need to also have a reservation/room at the particular hotel that the convention is associated with in order for me to come in see what all the sellers got in their rooms. Do the hotels allow outsiders to come through? Such as the 2020 Charlotte NC Convention, I already live in Charlotte, so can I just walk in?
This advertisement was brought to you by the Marriott Hotel and toys around the world Corporation the sponsors were Mark and Jennifer. Director and editor by. the Lamley group. we hope you have enjoyed the show.
oh man,this is a dream for me to be in a hot wheels convention.I hope that one day I'll get there and buy me some nice cars and bring em with me to france.thanks for sharing have a nice day
just would like to ask anyone selling at the hotel if you care if a shopper/collector shows up to the hotel to purchase stuff, and NOT have a ticket to the convention. would appreciate any and all feedback. thank you.....
I wondered when Mattel first started the conventions if they ever meant for the room to room sales to occur... because other than the tickets that people buy to go to the events during that week and the sales event that is open to the public for one day, Mattel does not make any money off of the room-to-room sales other than the possibility they're getting a kickback from the hotel... is there anybody around that it went to the first 2 to 5 conventions they could tell me what had occurred that that time...

I also found out that if you live in the area of the convention and wanted to shop in the hotel rooms you could get in pretty easily.
A bro. I want that gold wramblin wrecker so bad. That’s my fav casting. My favorite hot wheels I own are a minty old phone number red line and harder to find blue window one that’s carded.
James, now I'm really looking forward to Carolina.
So close yet no go for me. I heard it was fuuuun.
Next year....
I need that McLaren F1 GTR's wheels for a custom so badly!!

Heck yes s/o to James and JCardiecast

Why soooooo EEEEE why didn't you take me I'm going to cry long time long time!"
😝🤣🤣
Look's like you had a wonderful time I'm glad you were there!" 🏎💨
great video and great info thank you
You have to buy a ticket just to see some hot wheels bus cost quite a bit to see diecast cars displayed
Is it possible to walk the rooms without actually being in the convention?
lancer787 For safety reasons they ask that only ticket holders be part of the room to room trading, that way all can be accounted for.
The Lamley Group that makes sense and sucks a little bit but thanks
Any discussion of a price increase (adjustment) for the 2020 RLC offerings?
great video men, Thanks
Great video. Love the Hot Wheels.
Nice pickn😎
I want to go to one!
So the public can go to the room to room?
It's cool to see these sorts of things, Is there any sort of stereotype of the "Hotwheels Collector" that I should know about lol.
I live in Germany 😕
So jealous! Lucky goose!

Mattel can't properly run a website of course they fail at the National Convention..
I wondered when Mattel first started the conventions if they ever meant for the room to room sales to occur... because other than the tickets that people buy to go to the events during that week and the sales event that is open to the public for one day, Mattel does not make any money off of the room-to-room sales other than the possibility they're getting a kickback from the hotel... is there anybody around that it went to the first 2 to 5 conventions they could tell me what had occurred that that time...
Ask Racegrooves lol

I will love to come the charlotte
They buy all this stuff at the store for $4, and sell it here for $40. Bunch of money grabbers. I'll never go.
