I’m surprised that Hotwheels have never produced a BMW E28 M5. They seem to be quite keen on 70’s/80’s cars, and have previously done the 2002, M1, 3.0 CSL and E30 M3 but not the original M5 (sad face).

Hot Wheels are currently reduced to £1.30 in Asda, which made the GMG Vette I purchased last night look incredibly cheap compared to the £3.00 I paid for a Majorette Citroen DS. biggrin

Welldone getting one. That's a great casting.

I was unlucky unfortunately. I had an 8 mins waiting time in the online queue from the time of launch and i think it was sold out within 4 mins or thereabouts. banghead

Just keeping my fingers crossed now that the Integra doesn't get sold out that quickly when it gets launched.

It’s a bit of a lottery and not cheap, I want the DC2 for sure, be sold out straight away I suspect.

Ooh, I'll be needing that EK9 type R

I hope they do a DC2 Integra
It's on its way. Dreams do come true! woohoo

Skip to 11:23 if you don't want to watch the whole video.


That's going to be an RLC model though so be prepared to get one.

That looks grand, though shame it's the JDM version as I always preferred the UK/US style front as its what I had.

Though what is theRLC thing, these look bigger than normal HW with opening doors, etc??

RLC is the Red Line Club, it's a membership card that buys you the opportunity to try and order some of the limited edition Hot Wheels models.

They're still 1:64(ish) but they're quite a way beyond the price range of the models you can pick up in supermarkets. You're looking at £10 for the membership, £29 for the model (if you can get one) and £9 postage. They do release some lovely looking models but at £48 all in they've got some stiff competition from other brands.

Got a lovely blue Lamborghini Miura SV today. The wheels are wrong but apart from that it's quite good.

Latest pick-ups at the weekend.



Porsche and Alfa are typical of what i collect but i ventured into electric territory with the Volkswagen ID Buzz. Think it looks quite nice.

The Alfa however, i will rank up there as one of the best hotwheels mainline casting for 2023 so far, alongside with the Mercedes 560 SEC AMG

Stock distribution has been very random of recent amongst my local stockists tbh. Some "new" supplies they've received have been items released from last year. I guess it's old stock from the warehouse pending delivery of the latest stock.

These were from Halfords. Always worth a check from time to time! wink

Something my 5 year old son and I have started recently…collecting Hot Wheels Batmobiles.

I’ve shown him clips of the movie cars in action but obviously have to be careful what parts of the films he sees smile

Obviously out of the pack and played with by him and his younger brother, so damage inevitable!!

Don't think I've even seen the purple BTAS one before. I have it in black.

Nice collection!

That Celica looks nice. I'm quite fond of my Hot Wheels Celica but the Majorette does look more realistic.
