Am I the only one who hates silver interior? I'm fine with red, white, plue, pink, orange, literally any but silver. Which is a shame because I have multiple cars I really like but they had goddamn silver interior.

That ain't silver, it's arguably worse, it's chrome.
Reason why it's like that is that it most likely is connected to some other parts that are chrome. When they make the interior piece, it's usually combined either with the base or with some sandwiched parts like the engine if an engine is suppose to be seen. Budgetary limitations please understand.

Kinda weird. Mine has chrome trim and chrome bumpers but still separate black interior. New mold sucks.

Is there any actual difference between 71-72?
I know they changed front for 73-74 and then classic muscle era was over.

Depends on the car. I think it's fine on fantasy cars. I also like it on those color themed yearly anniversary cars even if they are licensed.

I haven't taken any beauty shots yet, but I'm hella stoked to have finally completed the first wave of matchbox city. Might rearrange it yet, but already l love how it looks all together. The sets are good looking on their own for some simple diorama shots, but all together it gives a nice cohesive backdrop to the whole thing. The whole thing and the cars all cost slightly more than 100$. I had a lego city here previously, and almost 500$ worth of lego buildings barely covered half of the table. If you haven't picked up any of these yet, l highly suggest that you do it while they're still on store shelves, and not scalper priced to bumfuck on ebay yet.

I don't mind it. Especialyl if a car has mostly closed coloured windows.
I do hate seeing plastic interiors that are exposed in that swirly pearl silver though.
I have this open top hotwheels corvette grand sport roadster on the right. I love it, but it would've looked way better in a matte dark/medium gray or something.

My mom bought it for me lol. Bless her.

I wasted my time trying to explain to accelefaggots that their fanbase already found out what happened to the alleged 5th movie almost half a decade ago. They are arguably more retarded than a single redditor or anon combined and then multiplied by 5.

The alleged 5th film? Only a basic idea of it was pitched, but it never got into production.
The fanbase? Went to shit, is either run by trannies or grooming youtubers who ignore the hard work ex-fans did to uncover the truth about the series.
Mattel's stance? They most likely aren't going to make a continuation, and just use Acceleracers in marketing knowing it'll be a guaranteed bait and switch to get suckers into products they wouldn't otherwise care for. (Reminder most Acceleracers fans don't even collect the toys even though the series was suppose to sell them)
As an outsider looking in, I'll tell you this anon, do NOT try interacting with the fans, you are better off with Sonic the Hedgehog fans than with Acceleracers fans. I hate the fact I am a fan, knowing I share the same space as these retards who think the 4 films are some Citizen Kane material, making fan theories that are redundant and easy to debunk.
As I said before, they don't even give a shit about the products, it's not like something akin to Transformers where the fans can appreciate the story and understand it's a toyline at the same time, and they alteast consume the product and can sometimes be okay.
If you want more details, I'll go into more depth, but I know the rest of the anons here are sick of my shit about ranting about a fanbase they don't care about, and have no reason to care about, especially when no one else gives a shit about the shitty toys, the films, or half the stuff from the 2000s unless it's some weeb car or boomer mobile.

Simplest yet a most satisfying custom job: combining a metal body to a metal base to get one metal-on-metal car. Here the base is from a color changer from couple years ago. Essentially 2 dollars for a full metal car, I would accept that for an official release.

Hi, diecast general. I'm participating on a raffle and the winner gets to choose the prize.
Which one of these prizes would you choose and why? The one I like the most must be the RLC mustang boss. The boulevard set comes in second place just because I really really like the Laughling Corvette. I don´t like the rest of the set as much tho.

Why has the viper gts only been produced for a limited time and premium only?
Why does it never had a mainline release?
It's one of the most iconic cars of the '90s american automotive industry. I know we have the rt/10 and i like it too, just wondering why its coupe counterpart only got so little attention

Work walmart on 3rd shift, last night found a hot wheel from 2000 that has somehow been in the store for 22 years.
Scanned the upc and checked through the system and we sold 6 others recently.

All I can figure is someone found an old small case of hotwheels hidden away in a backroom somewhere, put em on file and put em out.
>pic related was the car

Admittedly, everything in the house was grossly overpriced. Im no stranger to estate sale companies, they always price things based on eBay listings, not eBay sales. But I have never seen something quite this delusional, especially on something there is such a vast quantity of. I almost want to go back tomorrow to see how desperate they are to move something.

I always wonder what’s in the back rooms of every store I go into. There’s bound to be something like your story in every store. A bundle of products that was accidentally pushed aside and never made its way to the floor.

I take my mom to the store every week since she isn’t supposed to drive. While waiting for her in the bathroom, I glanced over at the video game rack and noticed right up front, a PSP copy of Cars 2 the game. I had to look up when the game came out, and when the PSP was discontinued. Mid 2011 for the game, and 2013 was when stores started phasing out PSP gear. So that thing has been chilling on the shelf for over a decade now, and somehow continues to be inventoried and left looking for a buyer that will likely never come

I can kind of sympathize with these estate sale companies, they get houses of shit dumped on them then they have to sort it all and price it out. That’s a nightmare in a normal house, one with a huge wave of collectible in the basement? Surprised they even had the time to do half of what they did. And I doubt any person working there is a diecast expert. Their job is to put pricetags on things. And admittedly, they did have a sizeable chunk of redlines. They were overpriced too, but they weren’t off base that SOME of the cars were high value and demand. But having them next to much more modern stuff that looked to be priced on erroneous eBay ads had me lose interest.

Had a similar experience to that at a flea market with Yugioh cards
>visit this dudes storefront
>crap everywhere
>find a binder with yugioh cards none of which are priced
>store has no traffic so I figure this guy will deal just to make a sale
>spend about 20 minutes going through all the cards and pulling what i want

>tells me this is gonna take awhile
>little confused at why, just give me a price for the stack and I’ll be on my way

He tried getting me to come back but none of those cards were anything I couldn’t live without. Some people would rather hoard mountains of trash than give someone a deal

That Lancia is an iconic racing machine, and correct me if I'm wrong, but that's one of the very few if not the only variant of that casting, as it never made it into the mainline yet.
Asking how an old race car is popular is like asking why so many old properties from the past 100 years are loved by many and create long running fanbases.

>>9584955 is kind of right, since they learned fast and now almost every-fucking-thing is overpriced.
The first time i checked there, there were mainlines from that year going for cheap prices. And even sought after models, going on jewbay for stupid prices, where just 1-2 € more than the others (thus a good deal for me, considering here they go for 2,5€ if i ever find hws at all). Last time i checked everything was expensive and sought after models were listed at stupid prices.

I like me a car with Aerodisc, but is it true that cars with these wheels aren't recommended for track usage? Been thinking of buying some tracks to make a small circuit but apparently the wiki says these wheels are too thick and will scrape off the walls and potentially damage the axle. Since it's the wiki I can't fully trust it, anyone with experience can tell if it's a big deal or not?

It's very little to do with price and more to do with the fact one car is a model and the other is a diecast. Apples and oranges.

Legitimately few things annoy me further than when someone compares something like a TLV or Mini GT release against a HW or MBX as though they're really clever and have said something no-one else has ever said before. Mini GTs aren't designed to be run on plastic track and banged into walls.

I still don't get people shitting on Carbon. If you ask me, that was the peak, it might've lost some of the charm we all love from MW, but it's an upgrade of a game. Take almost anything MW fell short of, and make it better. Carbon is not perfect, and no NFS game is truly perfect, which is why I wish I saw more arcade racers make a return; that way we might see more games in general that reach the enjoyment and experience of something like MW or Carbon. I'm tired of sims and having to try too hard to be realistic and miss the point of being a game, all the classic sims I played even when on powerful systems lacked variety. (Can't speak for Forza, that's on my bucket list of games) Hell I'm glad Mattel got a new console HW game out, maybe we'll see more games that aren't just pure shovelware or an app only poorly raised children will play.
Anyway, back to car posting.

Because of the retarded stigma kids will have thinking MBX is always boring. HW always has the cool customs thing going for it, plus they tend to get all the sports cars. When you ask a kid what they think of when they think MBX, they don't say the cool and accurate sports cars' they'll say something like an old euroshitbox. Mind you kids aren't like adults in that regard, we can enjoy shitty cars because our dreams of having those exotics have been crushed, kids never had that and thus they'll be way more up for wanting a supercar. Having an HW version is the closest anyone's gonna get to sitting inside an overly designed fatass hypercar that looks uglier than whatever was out in the '90s.
Heck I know I was a stupid little shit for not liking MBX much, but then again I did start around the time MBX was slumping massively because (That one series from the mid-2000s we shall not mention here to prevent destructive rees) was the new thing. MBX also never had strong marketing that I can recall that got kids to want to buy the products. HW had several shows, a bunch of remembered ads, and a distinct attitude that lends itself to making kids find something cool. Can you show me an MBX ad that would grab a kid's attention into wanting to buy a highly detailed yet mundane traffic car?

Oh and let's not forget that HW also has a massive library of track sets, games, and other goodies that again, kids really like. MBX had a game or two on the Game Boy and no one remembers that. Any playsets they do have before recently or back in the 80s have been modest at best, or don't reflect MBX that well. Again remember if you want to sell toys to a kid, you have to understand a kid isn't at the point in life where they'll appreciate and like realistic dioramas or the type of stuff MBX used to be known for. There is obvious exceptions, but that says more about whatever kid you or someone else was to like MBX over HW. (I'm not judging you, it's just odd to find people who are from the west who give a shit about the bong brand)

I’m not big into collecting them, but I get a kick out of the wheel variants of the 90s. There was no rhyme or reason to it, a lot of early 90s cars had holdover wheels from the 80s cars just to burn them off.

Anyway, this particular one I had have. This isn’t a rare or abnormal variant for this car. For whatever reason, Mattel thought this blue BMW should have these unique lime green wheels. I’d love to know the reasoning behind the decision. The same car also comes with more commonly seen wheels too.

I actually think it’s a decent looking wheel. A gray/black/chrome one would have looked good on quite a few cars

H*** C*** seriously needs some autistic faggot to make a video about it. I'm honestly amazed MBX survived the mid '00s because of its horrificness. We really did think, for about a year or so, that Mattel were deliberately trying to tank the brand so they could migrate all the castings of worth to HW, like they did with Corgi.

Ooh, those are seriously rare. Only released on two castings; the Miata, and the 850i. Introduced in 1992 and was gone a year after. No-one knows for sure why they existed, or why they only appeared twice.

I might not know shit on the topic, but I wouldn't be surprised if they really were trying. I've looked at the stuff Mattel put out when they go MBX before that and it looks like such a drop off from the '90s overall. Plus it doesn't help that the early 2000s was one of HW's massive spikes. (Even before World Race, 1997ish-2004 was a really solid period for HW)
If anyone here knows where I might want to look for studying the stuff going on at MBX during the early-mid 2000s, feel free. It would be a nice insight on a small part of the toy industry.

As a kid, when that set came out I took it as Matchbox trying to pivot to a younger demo, while hot wheels were meant for older kids. That makes more sense to me than intentional sabotage.

Stuff like that interests me because I’m pretty sure the R&D on a new wheel style isn’t cheap. Gotta see if they fit castings, roll good, are durable etc. So seeing a brand new wheel on a mainline car with zero fanfare, that would immediately disappear makes me wonder what happened. Perhaps the two cars they were used on were some form of early R&D in the market and Mattel didn’t like what they saw?

Another thing that interests me are mainline castings that only get used a single time. I know pre 2010 each new casting had about a years worth of work put into it. So seeing a car make it to release, only to never be utilized again, always makes me wonder what went wrong to make the casting disappear as quickly as it appeared

What even was the point of Hot Wheels getting Corgi? Every casting they had was used at most, twice in the late 90s. Some of them like the Tbird convertible had terrible proportions. Then all of them were silently retired

It was Corgi management who sold Mettoy off to Mattel in 1989, and was already badge-engineering their stuff as far back as 1991, though for the first 4 years after that, it was limited to slapping the Hot Wheels name on the box and occasionally painting the cars in Hot Wheels colours. Corgi bought itself out and re-established in 1995, which I think caused all Corgi Toys castings to be ceded over to Mattel as their own property, meaning they could either junk what they had or use them once and then junk them.

The only casting that survived was the 911 Carrera, which outlived the P-911 by a good couple years until it was retired in the 2003 Final Run lineup. That casting is noticeably larger, wider, and heavier than the P-911 by a good margin, and it dwarves the flatnose 930 casting they offered at that point.

Seems the most likely situation. There is a whole plethora of wheels from the 1990s that didn't last long. The Turbo Wheels for instance, introduced in 1990 for the California Customs, then gone a year after, briefly resurfacing in 1997 for a Camaro set. The Progressive Oval Wheel (POW), used once on the Suzuki Quadracer casting, likewise disappeared without a trace.

There's a lot of strange oddities in the world of Hot Wheels. There's an Audi TT for instance that was designed for Speed Machines and casted just the once. The LaFerrari was only released once because of Ferrari's license expiring. Larry Wood designed a McLaren F1 with opening doors in 1995 which got as far as a resin prototype, and as a result there were no official 1:64 F1s by any diecast company until 2020. There's the premium 100% Hot Wheels castings which got retooled into standard ones, like the Porsche 917K and Toyota Baja Truck.

Then there's pic related, the Huffman Stocker. No-one knows where it came from, who designed it, or what it was for. It was initially believed to be a retool of the Chevy Stocker until it turned out there was nothing in common between the two castings. Leading theories are it was an unreleased Corgi design or a repurposed Pro Circuit prototype that never saw the light of day which was intended to be used for a NASCAR series, like how Michael Kollins' 1984 Pontiac Grand Prix designed in 1998 didn't get released until 2004. But no-one knows anything for sure.

Furthermore, there's a whole bunch of "phantom" castings and retools I've discovered through deep research that no-one else has seemed to notice:

The P-911's original tooling was damaged/replaced around the 1990s, as the last few releases are noticeably off-model compared to the original, such as the shape of the roof going from curved to straight/angular and the lack of doorlines, see pic related. No collector's resource I've found has ever noted that there were two different toolings of this car.

The '80s/Blown Camaro casting has two different toolings - one for plastic, and one for ZAMAC. The plastic casting is the Power Command shell from 1990, and was most recently seen in the 2016 Muscle Mania series. You can tell because it sits noticeably higher, lacks detail on the front plate and tail lights, and still has a slot for a pullback motor in the back of the car. Again, the only listed variations I've found are for the supercharger/stock hood, not for the different tooling altogether.

Wheels made for a specific premium brand arent as strange to me. There are a lot of those that served their intended purpose and went away when that premium line ended.

That’s the most info I have ever seen on the lime wheel. Interesting that they were willing to put it out in the market for a trial. Personally I don’t see what is wrong with it. I rolled it on the table and it rolls fine. I put it on a stretch of track and it doesn’t have any issues. I’m sure there’s some document somewhere at Mattel explaining why the wheel was pulled, but I doubt it will ever see the light of day.

Still kind of a newfag at this, but I had heard back in the day up to the mid 00s or so, they used the tools for each car till it was nearly destroyed then that was the sign it was time to retire the car. Which is why things like your pic would happen as the car closed in on the end of its lifespan. Is that about how things used to go?

Typically, yeah. In fact even now you can still see it to an extent - the last few runs of the Deora II prior to its retooling looked especially rough. The front window frame deformed to the point it seems the original window piece no longer fits in it, so they made a new piece that goes inside.
The Good Humor Truck for instance was supposed to be retired in 2005 but they backed out. It's 3 years between its 2004 and 2007 appearances, during which time they must have retooled it.

Hot Wheels runs on a principal of "make cars until the tooling breaks". The Hot Bird vanished for 8 years, its role taken up by Vetuskey's (inferior IMHO) 1977 Firebird, before reappearing in the 2021 Muscle Mania lineup. The tooling probably broke in 2013 and they've only just recommissioned it.

In response to what I believe was an earlier post you made, it seems the design/release process for HW is completely different to how it used to be, and you can see this in Ryu Asada's posthumous castings. There's no way he was designing cars when his illness dragged him down - his last cars were probably designed in the Autumn/Winter of 2020, maybe January 2021 at a push. Cancer is a horrific disease and the pancreas is the worst place to get it. It's the one part of the body they can't do anything with. I think he knew he was dying for about 2 - 3 years prior, his output was insane from the late '10s - regularly got 25+ castings out the gate each year. His 2022 releases must be about 15 - 18 months old by now. If there's anything they've held back to 2023, it means they sit on castings for as much as 2 years.

>>9597233
Hot Wheels introduced a lot of cool wheel types during the 1990s, most of which are unfortunately gone. Several of them disappeared with the Speed Racer series in 2008/9, like the RT10-style 3 spoke wheels and the 7-spokes. Those wheels, the Saw Blade Wheel (SBW) ceased usage in 2004 but reappeared one time only on the 2007 Track T casting.

If convex wheels were a problem, they wouldn't have used BWs for the better part of 20 years. It literally seems to be a rumour a butthurt Fagdom tranny conjured up. All I'm asking for is a source where collectors are actually discussing the problem you describe. No need for name-calling, this is a hobbyist board. Fuck off to a shithole like /b/ or /tv/ if you want to be a retard.

Either the quality control in your part of the world is abhorrent, or your hands are caustically sweaty. That's the reason 90% of loose cars have paint missing from the wheels - because they aren't treated the same way the bodies are and kids always pick them up by the wheels, rubbing their sweat into them.

Is the Aerodisc overused? Abso-fucking-lutely. It was fine when they kept it within JDM and retro castings like the Countach Pace Car for instance. Now they use it on virtually every second car and I'm starting to get sick of it.

But outside of Real Riders and specialty wheels like HOs, what other good modern HW wheel types are there?

5SPs are boring and ancient. PR5s are even more boring. Y5s are interesting, but rarely appear anymore. Same with LWs. 10SPs are shit. OH5s and FTEs are fucking garbage and I'm glad they've disappeared. CM6s were Acceleracer kiddie bait. 50Ls are really cool (picrel) but don't appear in anything; they're like a smaller, less obnoxious BLING wheel. RA6s are crap. DD8s/ST8s are also really fucking cool but rarely appear on anything. 3SPs were awesome but they killed them, same with the previously-mentioned SBWs.

So you only like 2 rims? DD8 never feels like it's uncommon, when I look at the pegs, it's either AeroDiscs or DD8. (Not that I hate DD8, but like most modern HW, they put them on cars where it doesn't make sense to have them.)
I hate that 5 Dots aren't a thing anymore, that's one of my favorites.

I like a good deal of wheels, the only problem is the only ones getting any sort of mass production at the moment outside of boring old 5SPs and PR5s are AeroDiscs. DD8/ST8 production seems to have stepped up in the last 2 years, which is fine I guess.

I like pretty much every Real Rider out there (outside of the really modern/new ones like the TE37s and cheap looking multispoke designs)
I like the Redlines and the Redline-esque wheels they introduced for Since '68 and used in the 2015 Heritage series, but they don't mass-produce them.
You can also never go wrong with HOs, UHs, or plain old BWs. But they don't appear in the Mainline anymore.
Of the '90s onwards wheeltypes still in production, I like Y5s and LWs, but they are slowly being phased out.
3SPs are dead.
SBWs are dead.
5DOTs (like you mentioned) are dead.
CM5s were quite nice in contrast to the CM6, but are also long dead.
50th Anniversary wheels were used a handful of times, but HW50STYLE (without the logo) appear just on that one Cougar in my previous post

This is what happens when you take a lineup that got it's style from things like graffiti and Rat Fink and replaced it with Chibi. Because the wholesomeorinos :0

It’s been interesting to see the huge style shift. I’m kind of surprised they didn’t just make new Tooned cars into their own lineup. They are unique enough.

Were these boomer hot rod art style cars popular?

oh yeah, it is a different roadrunner.
I never knew Hot Wheels made a second type of cast of it.
The two models are almost identical with the exception of the front bumper being part of the chrome base and the spoiler

The one with the spoiler is the ''71 Plymouth Road Runner that made its debut in 2012

The one without it is the '71 Plymouth GTX that first appeared in 2001

I'm personally more of a fun of the GTX version

Mustang and Impala and 49 Pickup are my fav. They are tastefully done. Daytona, GTO and Camaro are way over the top. Eclipse and Escalide give me strong NFSUG2 vibes.

They've tried this since most likely the '80s/'90s, alot of 2000s MBX castings were being used to test this and we all know how most of those turned out.

At least it got to drive. Lots of prototype cars might do one drive for magazine articles, then the rest of its life is being ferried around in a trailer to car shows, then inevitably abandoned in some storage facility when a new prototype comes along for people to talk about

Matchbox are more scaled replica models of actual stock factory cars. Where Hot Wheels are more "customized" toys. I really don't care one way or the other, if I like the casting and I see it, I'll buy it.

When comparing a Greenlight, Auto World, Johnny Lightning, those are usually all die-cast metal. Metal base, metal body, etc. Better detailed interior, full taillights, and overall better quality than a mainline casting for 0.99 cents.
Tomica Limited Vintage can run $15.00-$50.00 for cars and over $100.00 for 1/64 scale trucks and busses but the details are insane. Mini GT is another line.
Main difference, mainline cars are made to race, be played with, crashed, or displayed. Tomica Limited Vintage are not meant for that.

200 mph, 100 cars door to door, 500 laps, and the slightest mistake can cost the entire race to end early. Its the most risky form of racing possible on a controlled race track.
