Man, I must say - You are the most underrated HW Content Creator with such good video making efforts and edits. I really hope you grow fast and create more amazing videos like this. One suggestion would be making videos a bit short. For instance, you could've made 3 different videos with this 1 video. You will see CZcamsr like Lamley, PeakTime making short videos for more catch up. Really mindblowing videos, bro!!
Hey man, how's it going? Thank you very much for taking the time to write this amazing comment. Reading your kind words really motivates me to keep pushing forward. Thanks man. All I want to do is make videos like custom collects. Trying my very best to make the creative content that is different and as original as I can possibly make it and I feel like if I made this video into three videos they would need three intros, three thumbnails, more different music tracks etc and therefore more hours invested into editing and recording. I enjoy my current format so that it's not a faceless video. That's important to me. I hope you can understand. I have made very short videos, and then 10min / 12min and much long videos too. Feel free to have a good look through my content. In my personal life. I have 2 young children that also need my time and CZcams isn't my full time job. I hope you're right my friend and I can make videos full time in the future. That would be awesome and a dream come true for me. I invest all of my free time into making my content at the moment and I'm just out here sharing the best hobby on this planet and having fun chatting with other collectors. Thank you sincerely for reaching out to me. I like to think that if I've only made less than 40 videos ever and if you say they are mind blowing then both you and I will enjoy where this journey leads to when I make my 100th... 200th... 300th video!! Hope you'll follow along with this journey bro. Thanks for being a really cool guy. The world definitely needs more awesome people like you mate.
@@customcollects I see, bro. I really appreciate your thoughts and actions you put into making videos. I agree with you too that many videos need more editing, rendering times with other stuff. What you are doing is listening to your hobbies and soul. That's something that deserves applause. Keep this up! 👊
Mate I recently discovered your channel. Must say that you're a unique HW content creator. Love the clarity in your words, precision in placing the cars and the editing top notch. Even though it's a 28-minute video it kept me engaged throughout. ❤from India
Hello brother. Today is a great day for both us then as you will be pleased to learn that rupees will be included when talking money here on the channel and I think I will make a cool new graphic for currency conversions too. Welcome to my hot wheels CZcams journey! Thank you for taking the time to be an awesome person and your kind words fuel my passion to make these videos. I make long and short videos. Feel free to take a good look through all of my content but please don't judge my quality too much for the older ones 😅 just trying my best! I am looking forward to the day that I make my 100th video and I can hopefully see some good progress. Just trying my very best to put out some fun content whenever I can. Honestly bro. Thanks for being one of the legendary ones. The world needs more cool guys like you. Big love from 🇬🇧 and wish you always great success and much luck when you're out hunting for hot wheels 🔥
If you look up the blue libertywalk. It belongs to the owner of the lbwk co. His doens have the liberty walk livery on the side. That's why the premium doesn't have it on its quarters. So it's actually more accurate then the basic. Some ppl complain it was missing. But to ppl that know what it is. We don't. Accuracy is more important then what we want it to look like
Amazing!! Yes sir. Thanks for this comment and I knew that comparing those two would be something a lot of collectors talk about as I've seen so many other collectors battling it out over accuracy and aesthetics. I even think Mattel knew what they were doing too when they decided to make a premium, basic and also toned version to really get collectors fighting in the comments 🤣 need to pick up that toned version and haven't found that one out in the wild yet. Thanks man for being that awesome and respectful guy that leaves insightful and informative comments like this. You're a real one and I hope this will educate others too. Wish you the very best of luck for the next time your out hunting for hot wheels and thanks so much for your great support 🚗💨
@@customcollects I just wanted to say. I love your videos. Your energy and positive vibe is very inspiring. I watch every video I can. I think you stand out. You're so happy and always seem to know how to have fun. We kinda forget to do that now a days. Especially in the US. Because of our big inflation. But anyway. I just wanted to give appreciation for the videos.
I just found the LBWK a few days ago. You can see it hanging under the digital clock in my newer videos. Congrats on finding it! Also got a couple of the Bumblebee's. Happy hunting!
Hello mate. How's it going? Congrats on the LBWK find! Which store did you pick it up in? Pleased to hear you snagged the bumblebee 🐝 man too. Looking forward to finding one in gold next! Appreciate the kind words and support brother. Stay lucky and keep on the hunt.
@@customcollects Thanks! I walked into a Target early in the morning and it was sitting front and center. Yes, the gold one looks amazing! I saw it here on a CZcams unboxing video. Can't wait to find it! Happy hunting!
4 weeks ago I was first to 9 cases at Walmart. No STH but got all 9 Firebirds and 6 of the BumbleBee VW. Then 2 weeks ago at another Walmart I tripped on the entire transport release of all 3 cars abs grabbed them. Lastly. I was able to get 2 BRE sets finally but not in store got them direct from Mattel’s site.
If I find another super this year I'll be surprised. "Right place right time" is all the luck you ever need. Just gotta keep on the hunt 👍 I've heard it's a 1 in 10 chance per case roughly to find a super. All boxes are shipped randomly so sometimes it's 7 out of 10 and sometimes 1. If you don't check you'll never know. BRE set is more exciting than Porsche and Greddy set to be honest but I like the premium maxima the most out of all those 9 cars. Do you get what I mean about the teal Sentra should be painted blue? Thanks always for the great chats mate. Really enjoy your messages and updates for real 🔥 🚗💨
Hey man! How's it going? Honestly I was so so hyped for SS2 but the cars from the first set still reign supreme 👍 always great to rip open a lambo and set it free! I've been stepping up my hunting frequency recently and also trying some new spots to see what happens. How have you been finding it out there in your local area? Which store... name? Is the luckiest for you where you live my friend? Next vid is more hunting from me as like I said I've been just seeing what I can find and I honestly found the weirdest thing hung up that you won't believe haha! Wish you a really good day brother. Hope all is well and things are great for you man. Keep on the good hunt 🔥🚗💨
@@customcollects Thank you. Actually we don't get many premium sets in the stores and I get mine from secondary markets, online and friends. I need to do some hunting to for my channel, I just need a good, quality camera for that. Cheers!
You know what! I just remembered when we spoke about the Porsche series silver label cars box you made a video about. I still don't own any of those cars!! So sad. You do you! I just make the videos I'm having fun with as you can see on my channel. When something gets 100 views like the racing ones I did that makes me want to try something new instead and I'm having fun with it 👍 wish you always great success and always a pleasure to speak with you. Hope that you have some good luck this weekend and plan to hunt for some great new pieces for your collection too 🚗💨👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's such a great deal! And you were very lucky to find premiums in Sainsbury's. I don't live near to one big enough to stock hot wheels but I will make sure to check in the future as that's such a great deal! Thanks for the really cool comment. I'm pleased you were able to get your hands on some great cars 🚗 🔥🔥🔥
another quality video, always enjoy them but d’ya not think the Bumblebee is a lot more common than we’ve been led to believe, I have seen A LOT??? 🐝🐝🐝
@@thenewsinsidernow hey, how's it going? Those bee emojis made me laugh. Thanks for that! I wish I saved the photo but after filming for this video I saw a post online of someone showing a bumblebee solid case!!!! Maybe photoshop?? Maybe next level scalping for a staged photo? I think, bottom line for this car, real collectors know it's got a lot of cool features, new base and it's an 80s classic casting... the skyline, mustang and civic fans will overlook this one as perhaps too childish for their collection? So far I've only seen bumblebee that one time and I go out hunting as much as I can. But the fact is that he's only seeded once and short packed like a silver logo treasure hunt and will only appear across 2 case letters. The other side of the coin is that Mattel makes more that a couple hot wheels to sell across the world so if you're hunting enough it wouldn't take long to get your hands on a few bumblebees for sure. I hope I can find another one as the one I left inside its packaging has a chip on the roof 😔 🐝 thank you kindly for the awesome comment and for the great support. Been a busy couple of weeks for me but feels good to drop this video today. Take it easy bro 🚗💨
@@customcollects if you’re looking for an extra one or more I suggest jumping into the checkout aisles at an Aldi, had loadsa luck there lately, especially with Bumblebee come ups, I was so gassed to find them the first time…the fact there’s apparently way more out there than I first thought doesn’t diminish the buzz (groan!) of the hunt, still stoked on them 💛
I woke up in a bad mood today but watching this video and your enthusiasm and positivity have made that all go away, so thank you! As a big fan of the Kenmeri skyline I'm quite unimpressed by the HW Liberty Walk version, and leaving the text off the premium is pretty shoddy. The new grey one looks better. But if you're a fan I'm glad you could get lucky and build your collection. I didn't realise there was only one bumblebee to a case, I have seen it on two different occasions in Tesco (only bought one of them, though). The face easter egg is a nice idea but for anyone who knows transformers well, it's a bit sketchy - the underside of the bonnet becomes Bumblebee's feet in robot mode! I wonder if they'll do any more 1980s Transformers G1 cars, the '86 Toyota van they put out in the last few years would make a perfect Ironhide and Ratchet, they have the Datsun and Porsche castings to easily make Prowl and Jazz, even the Group 5 Lancia Stratos from Boulevard already resembles Wheeljack... I'm surprised Optimus prime's trailer doesn't open and fit Bumblebee inside, most of the track fleet designs seem to include ways to carry a car. As a big rally car enthusiast I'm loving the Abarth 131 collection, the Olio Fiat livery is cool but the one I really want is the plain red one. Thanks again for a fun video! Next time you order from Amazon Japan, look for some Tomica Premiums! IMO they are better quality than HW premiums and usually feature opening doors/bonnets, pop up headlights and suspension - would make for a good comparison video...
Hey man! How's it going? Heck yeah such an awesome and epic comment. Sending positive vibes your way always my friend! No need to feel down when we get to wake up and admire our ever growing collection of the best 1:64 scale Diecast model cars! Please know that your words really mean a lot to me and I appreciate the time you took to make this comment. Man, I didn't even think about the bumblebee face thing! Even just having some feet there would have been super fun and true to the character too. That's so interesting! Now that you've highlighted all of the other characters and cars that could be used to make them a reality I hope that these can become a reality in the future and who knows! No one knew MSCHF and hot wheels would make a car together so anything is possible. Lots of fun new premium sets coming out soon too. Race day BMW will be awesome. That Datsun from terra trak and also the black skyline chase that everyone is saying will be another £100 car after the initial hype train leaves the station. I'm just looking forward to finding that falken Honda civic next. Gonna have to wait until that hype train passes too as I suspect employee resellers will get there first. Will try my best to make a new video as soon as I can! Stronger every day and always trying our best 💪 keep on the good hunt mate and thanks again for your really great support. You're a real one 🚗💨🔥
Hey man, how's it going? Hope you've been getting out there and hunting down some great new pieces for your collection 🚗💨 thanks always for your really great support.
@@customcollects Hey, thanks, man! Doing well, not bothered with HW today, just enjoying the heat, the sun. I had to tone down with buying HW, man. It got out of hands. Now just going for the real castings, mainly Mainlines. Still can't wrap my head around their categories and they're new branding. It seems like a mess to me.
Please don't remind me that I spend all of my disposable income on toy cars 🤣 dude, it's totally worth it! Did you also buy many RLC cars? I don't like the gold premium logo. Needs to be a foil deboss on the card. You're right that it can seem confusing and a bit of a mess. 2024 really has been such a great year for mainlines 🙂🚗
I love your enthusiasm for mainline cars and finding stuff on pegs. We sometimes take it for granted car availability in some places even within the US. A lot of what you find like HW premiums I pre buy as part of a subscription plan. I get 2 cases of all car culture and 1 case each of Blvds and F & F premium sets.
You're a gent Mr Goldenberg. Yes, this video really was was of those days when you hit your local spots and it's fresh restocks across the board. Of course you must know that there were 4-5 other supermarkets and discount stores that have probably 6 fantasy cars hung up and that's the truth. But no one wants to spend their personal time watching a disappointing video so I'm grateful that I can show you guys the best of what's in stock here in the UK (London) How much do you pay for your car culture sets if you don't mind me asking? Premiums are £45 in store but I can sometimes catch them online for £35-37.50 which is amazing. I've said it before on my channel that online shopping is likely to be the best way to score more of what you want without the large gas ⛽️ bill for your car 😉 Appreciate always your great support man. Super happy you picked some cool new bits for your collection. Are you going to pick up the MSCHF collab car on the 30th?
@@customcollects In the US we pay at retail about $6.50 USD plus tax for premium HW. When I buy cases I pay about $65 plus shipping so the same cost because I am buying from authorized resellers. Blvds are a little different because in the US they are Walmart exclusives. I’ve been getting cases for $100 USD which is a steal at $10 per car considering how hard they are to come by. Lastly transports and 2 car sets (Target exclusives in US) I only purchase by the case if I like more than 2 of the 3 and they are really really hot stuff. I already bought 2 cases of the next set of transports. Your get for so 1 is a double. This next set will be the hottest of the year IMO as 2 of the 3 are Toyotas with the 3rd being a Nissan. I think I paid $100 per case so about $25 per transport which is still less than what the scalpers will ultimately charge.
I did feel bad saying that it didn't excite me in the video and I hope that you own all three colours in your collection now. Red, Blue and yellow. Good for you man for collecting the fun hot wheels too. Anyone who rates the draggin wagon is cool with me for sure. Hope you can find another one so that you can set it free in the future! Keep on the good hunt brother 🚗💨
@@customcollects I have the Blue and Yellow not yet found the Red. I don't collect fantasy cars but fun ones like this and helli's bikes i do. I just bagged a Super Mario Pluming van at a store 20 miles away they had 3 and I've wanted that for months didn't want to pay BAY prices.
It actually had a really cool functionality as you can sit a mega Construx "Lego man" perfect inside and they will hold on to the front. The hands clip on perfectly! Super fun design feature for sure 👍 congrats on your finds dude. You're making me regret walking away from the draggin wagon lol
I'm sure it's fine bro. The base design is new for 2024. You can see two years appearing. 1989 for the casting and 2023 for the base. Hot wheels use multiple variety of their logo all the time 👍 hope you enjoyed the vid and thanks for the support and comment
Hey, how's it going? Thank you for the kind and insightful comment. It was very lucky to find that product in the UK 🇬🇧 there is only 1 seeded into a sealed case of 4 which is stupid and Mattel should have produced 2 of them per box like the flipside transport with the gt-r (#56) I hope that you can add this great team transport into your collection and hello and thank you fellow hot wheels collector from Japan 🇯🇵 👊🚗💨
Shoot here in the States. The bumblebee have seen sometimes three in a case and the rest of the times there's two in a case not very rare or hard to find over here.
Hey man, how's it going? Appreciate the support and that you took the time to make this comment. Yes, bumblebee was packed 1 per case for the first release and then he appears twice or more for the 2nd case which is really great for collectors! Was mainly leaning on the first case for this video as that's what I was finding and it's great to have cars as soon as they come out. I'm happy other collectors will get to add this transformers collaboration into their collection and I'm also super hyped about the upcoming gold release for bumblebee too 🐝 🏆 hope you enjoyed the vid and wish you the very best of luck always for the next time you're out hunting for hot wheels 🚗💨
Another amzing video 📹 👌 congrats on your finds. And i must say I did not realize how amazing that optimus prime was out of the packaging. I think i plan on picking one of those up for sure! Thanks again all the way from US California 😎
Hey hey! Hello mate how's it going? Greeting from across the pond 🇬🇧 I hope you're enjoying and laughing at how much money I have to spend on these small metal cars. Every time the cashier reads out my total, in my head I think about premiums being 6 bucks and a mainline costing $1.18 where you are... need to pack an empty suitcase and get myself over to the states. Which US state has the most hot wheels?? Super lucky to have found 2 of the track fleet Optimus primes, so happy to open one and now I'm looking for somewhere fun to put mine on display. Definitely grab one man if you ever find one. I also saw that bumblebee is coming back in gold in a future case which I'm hyped for and I'm looking forward to finding the new falken Honda from a silver label series and that new Datsun truck too from terra trak. Always a pleasure my dude. Great chatting with you and thanks always for your kind words and great support too! Been a super busy couple of weeks for me but happy to drop this video today 🚗💨
@customcollects yes sir 🫡 thanks for all your hard work!!!! Not sure which state has the most hotwheels but that is a very interesting question I never thought about that lol.....man that's a good question!!!!
Nice, I managed to find BumbleBee but not Optimus yet. I managed to find the Silver Porsche from F&F this week and the S14 from SS2. Its Sad to see they missed some tampos on the LBWK Skyline. I picked up the MiniGt version. I have all of SS2 but the Corolla. Nice pickups and great video as always man!👍🤙
Hey man! How's it going? Are you feeling 100% back to full strength? It's been a busy past couple of weeks for me but still managing to get out and about when I can. It's completely crazy how Optimus track fleet is being sniped so quickly and I've only ever found him and even the Volvo that one time I showed in a previous video. How are the pegs looking where you are? When I recorded for this video I swear that day was when all the places I check had fresh restocks and it's always worth ask staff if they have anymore more hot wheels out the back as checking that box and scoring a 2nd bumble bee was very lucky. I don't think other collectors realise what a special collaboration that yellow vw is and I'm happy to see that bumblebee is coming back in GOLD for a future case towards the end of this year 👍 need to find a fun place to display my Optimus track fleet and I'll be looking to pick up more older vw bugs online / eBay as well. It's going to be fun trying to find that falken Honda in the upcoming silver label series for speed graphics and I'm also hyped for that terra trek Datsun. Super happy you enjoyed the video and keep posting your collection too man. You only add the best pieces for sure 👍 take it easy brother 🚗💨
@@customcollects Im not 100% but the worst of it is over, I appreciate you asking👍. The pegs have been wiped out each time I went this week, missed 3 cases of the TT, guy only left the porsches and cant seem to find that Corolla in store from SS2. I picked up a few more L case castings, the tooned Porsche, Magnus Walker Porsche Carrera and Ford Maverick Custom. I have very limited space so I have to pick and choose till I get my desk setup and then maybe I can record some proper videos. Good luck out there and keep on the hunt bro🤙
Keep fighting your good fight man. You'll find the Corolla eventually. What you're looking for the most eventually finds you is definitely something I remind myself about as I've gone on eBay and purchased something I thought I'd never see here in the UK and then bam. Next week I find 2 of them for retail. Feels bad. You'll get your Toyota one day. I can guarantee it. Keep hunting for sure! Lots of fun things to acquire for our collections coming up. Will you pick up the MSCHF hot wheels collab car? I don't think I'll ever "unsee" or forget those hilarious red rubber boots they made and all the memes that other people made about them. Definitely going to try my luck when it drops on the 30th 👍
@@customcollects Oh yeah man, my 5 yo just started school so I will have loads more time to hunt and will probably hit those early morning pegs. I have one sure place I will be able to find the TT and Corolla eventually when they get that stock. I did my 1st Ali express order also, got a diorama and 20 sets of real riders for less than $20 usd for that new customer deal thing. I cant wait to see what you find next on the next one bro, maybe your 2nd STH good luck👍🤙

Enjoy it! Such a cool looking hot wheels. Happy I could showcase the FNT premium version in my video too. Are you going to open in? Put your super in a protector? The super Camaro is now safely inside a protector and I bought another one off eBay for such a great price. I will open the one I bought in a future video. Hope you'll be back to watch it. What type of videos that I make have you been enjoying the most man? Hunting? Displays? Reviews? Races? Have a great day bro. Seeing the reflection artist in the comments always brings a huge smile to my face mate! For real 🚗💨
Real collectors shouldn't have to pay the eBay tax. That's why we put our boots on, grab our favourite drink. Fill our cars up with a full tank of fuel and go hunting for hot wheels 🫡 appreciate the support brother. Wish you great luck for the next time your out hunting for treasure 🚗💨
10:36 yes sir! Full unboxing and review here 👍 you can watch me finding it in my previous hot wheels hunting video as well. Enjoy! It's crazy how that track fleet release is clearly snapped up by employees. Most likely as it sells for a lot on eBay right now. Super happy I opened mine. Did you open yours? Thanks for the support and kind words mate. Appreciate you 🚗💨
Ah right! No I passed on deluxe Optimus prime. Although I did watch the show as a kid and I went to see the Megan fox movie at the cinema the day it came out. I feel like I'm collecting hot wheels for the cars and would rather spend my month budget on other pieces for my collection. I wouldn't have anywhere decent to display it either. With this said you are extremely lucky to pick one up on the day of release as I did follow that product and saw it went out of stock very very quickly! Haven't picked up as RLC car since the skyline. Looking forward to the elite BMW when that drops in the future
You're a true gent. Thank you very much mate. If you have a hunting routine like me then you can tell within the first 1 or 2 stores if you'll be walking up to a fresh restock or not. This video is jam packed with so many epic hot wheels waiting for me to walk up to them first! Super super lucky. How are you? Have you added any cool new pieces into your collection? Appreciate your kind support always. Thanks for taking the time to leave an awesome comment too 🚗💨
@@customcollects I mostly shop at walmart and dollar stores....the secondary stores are marked up too high for my budget....and we have nowhere near the selection you do there. there are so many savy collectors now from when I started all the good stuff disappears before it hits the shelf it seems! I also go to a lot of thrift stores and shop second hand - probably make some of my best finds there for really cheap. lately I've picked up a chip foose and sons M2 transport with his red landspeed "hemisfear". I wish youtube would let me post pictures... :( anyway have a great day and happy hunting my British friend!
Definitely one that is unlikely to leave the stockrooms 😔 sells for £30 on eBay which is crazy. Wish you the very best of luck for the next time you're out hunting for hot wheels.

Kerala very beautiful area of India! I hope you live very close to the sea 🌊 I was born and grew up on the coast. It is my happy place. Also close to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 do you visit often?
Ah yes! To live in the home of hot wheels. Yeah for real man. If you watch enough of my videos you'll see that it's not exactly the same level here in the UK 😂 still planning to pack an empty suitcase and enjoy the day that I can actually pay a dollar for 1 mainline basic car. In some supermarkets they charge £2.40 / $3.16 for just one basic car! lol. If you can find a lot of bumblebee bro then make sure you pick up a few for yourself and friends 👍 you are very lucky and live in a great area where there must be lots to choose from and not so many collectors / scalpers. Not the same story where live. For real. Hope you enjoyed the vid mate! Which state are you in? Do you find many supers? 🚗💨
When I hear people say “ive been hunting for 30+ years I’ve never came across a STH or TH” 😂 I’m sorry but you’ve been doing it wrong for 30+ years 😂 I understand it’s hard to find any STH in Europe it’s I believe 1 in every 45 cases? I’m in the USA so correct me if I’m wrong.
Haha! Hey man, how's it going? Thanks for the good laugh and also you are right. The opportunity is out there you just have to look. But also I understand many STH never leave the stockrooms that they land in and there will always be employee resellers who know exactly what they're doing. To quote a Reddit post about this topic. What you're talking about sounds like one of those myths that humans develop when they can't understand something. "Why is it raining?" "The gods are angry." "Why can't I find STHs?" "The scalpers got them all (US)," "We don't get as many of them (EU)." There may be some truth to this rumor, which is what gives the myth power. I do believe that the States see far more shipments than Europe, so if the basic math is 1 STH per 10 cases, and the U.S. gets more cases, then they get more STHs. The real question, which only Mattel could answer, is whether the ratio of STHs is different in Europe. If you look at this strictly as a manufacturing process STH distribution is not predictable. Mattel runs off a certain number of them, inserts them into cases at a consistent rate, then sends those cases out randomly mixed with other cases. There should be a hard allocation of STHs for the States and for Europe, based on the number of cases shipped to each region, which brings us back to Europe getting fewer STHs because they get fewer cases, but the ratio of STHs to all other cars remaining the same. Hope you enjoyed the video! Wish you the very best of luck for the next time you're out hunting for hot wheels brother 🚗💨
Bumblebee only seeded once into a case for the 1st round which is what this video is about. For the next case bumblebee appears twice so will be more common. You live in an amazing area bro and you should never move house 😂 I can only dream of finding that many desirable hot wheels. Good work on your great hunting! You are definitely out there checking stores the right amount.

❤from India
Hello brother. Today is a great day for both us then as you will be pleased to learn that rupees will be included when talking money here on the channel and I think I will make a cool new graphic for currency conversions too. Welcome to my hot wheels CZcams journey! Thank you for taking the time to be an awesome person and your kind words fuel my passion to make these videos. I make long and short videos. Feel free to take a good look through all of my content but please don't judge my quality too much for the older ones 😅 just trying my best! I am looking forward to the day that I make my 100th video and I can hopefully see some good progress. Just trying my very best to put out some fun content whenever I can. Honestly bro. Thanks for being one of the legendary ones. The world needs more cool guys like you. Big love from 🇬🇧 and wish you always great success and much luck when you're out hunting for hot wheels 🔥
YES
If you look up the blue libertywalk. It belongs to the owner of the lbwk co. His doens have the liberty walk livery on the side. That's why the premium doesn't have it on its quarters. So it's actually more accurate then the basic. Some ppl complain it was missing. But to ppl that know what it is. We don't. Accuracy is more important then what we want it to look like
Amazing!! Yes sir. Thanks for this comment and I knew that comparing those two would be something a lot of collectors talk about as I've seen so many other collectors battling it out over accuracy and aesthetics. I even think Mattel knew what they were doing too when they decided to make a premium, basic and also toned version to really get collectors fighting in the comments 🤣 need to pick up that toned version and haven't found that one out in the wild yet. Thanks man for being that awesome and respectful guy that leaves insightful and informative comments like this. You're a real one and I hope this will educate others too. Wish you the very best of luck for the next time your out hunting for hot wheels and thanks so much for your great support 🚗💨
@@customcollects I just wanted to say. I love your videos. Your energy and positive vibe is very inspiring. I watch every video I can. I think you stand out. You're so happy and always seem to know how to have fun. We kinda forget to do that now a days. Especially in the US. Because of our big inflation. But anyway. I just wanted to give appreciation for the videos.
I just found the LBWK a few days ago. You can see it hanging under the digital clock in my newer videos. Congrats on finding it! Also got a couple of the Bumblebee's. Happy hunting!
Hello mate. How's it going? Congrats on the LBWK find! Which store did you pick it up in? Pleased to hear you snagged the bumblebee 🐝 man too. Looking forward to finding one in gold next! Appreciate the kind words and support brother. Stay lucky and keep on the hunt.
@@customcollects Thanks! I walked into a Target early in the morning and it was sitting front and center. Yes, the gold one looks amazing! I saw it here on a CZcams unboxing video. Can't wait to find it! Happy hunting!
Need to book myself a trip over to the states and pack an empty suitcase... for real! 🇺🇸😎👍 cheers man
Awesome hunt! You should've gotten the Teku Deora II from that fresh L case too! The Acceleracers comeback is legendary!
4 weeks ago I was first to 9 cases at Walmart. No STH but got all 9 Firebirds and 6 of the BumbleBee VW.
Then 2 weeks ago at another Walmart I tripped on the entire transport release of all 3 cars abs grabbed them.
Lastly. I was able to get 2 BRE sets finally but not in store got them direct from Mattel’s site.
If I find another super this year I'll be surprised. "Right place right time" is all the luck you ever need. Just gotta keep on the hunt 👍 I've heard it's a 1 in 10 chance per case roughly to find a super. All boxes are shipped randomly so sometimes it's 7 out of 10 and sometimes 1. If you don't check you'll never know.
BRE set is more exciting than Porsche and Greddy set to be honest but I like the premium maxima the most out of all those 9 cars. Do you get what I mean about the teal Sentra should be painted blue? Thanks always for the great chats mate. Really enjoy your messages and updates for real 🔥 🚗💨
I also enjoy the Huracan the best from the SS2. Cool trip to the stores and congrats on your finds bro!
Hey man! How's it going? Honestly I was so so hyped for SS2 but the cars from the first set still reign supreme 👍 always great to rip open a lambo and set it free! I've been stepping up my hunting frequency recently and also trying some new spots to see what happens. How have you been finding it out there in your local area? Which store... name? Is the luckiest for you where you live my friend? Next vid is more hunting from me as like I said I've been just seeing what I can find and I honestly found the weirdest thing hung up that you won't believe haha! Wish you a really good day brother. Hope all is well and things are great for you man. Keep on the good hunt 🔥🚗💨
@@customcollects Thank you. Actually we don't get many premium sets in the stores and I get mine from secondary markets, online and friends. I need to do some hunting to for my channel, I just need a good, quality camera for that. Cheers!
You know what! I just remembered when we spoke about the Porsche series silver label cars box you made a video about. I still don't own any of those cars!! So sad. You do you! I just make the videos I'm having fun with as you can see on my channel. When something gets 100 views like the racing ones I did that makes me want to try something new instead and I'm having fun with it 👍 wish you always great success and always a pleasure to speak with you. Hope that you have some good luck this weekend and plan to hunt for some great new pieces for your collection too 🚗💨👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
I brought three Toyota Supra Hot Wheel premium for £6.75 each I saved £2.25 of £9 in Sainsbury's store
That's such a great deal! And you were very lucky to find premiums in Sainsbury's. I don't live near to one big enough to stock hot wheels but I will make sure to check in the future as that's such a great deal! Thanks for the really cool comment. I'm pleased you were able to get your hands on some great cars 🚗 🔥🔥🔥
another quality video, always enjoy them but d’ya not think the Bumblebee is a lot more common than we’ve been led to believe, I have seen A LOT??? 🐝🐝🐝
@@thenewsinsidernow hey, how's it going? Those bee emojis made me laugh. Thanks for that! I wish I saved the photo but after filming for this video I saw a post online of someone showing a bumblebee solid case!!!! Maybe photoshop?? Maybe next level scalping for a staged photo? I think, bottom line for this car, real collectors know it's got a lot of cool features, new base and it's an 80s classic casting... the skyline, mustang and civic fans will overlook this one as perhaps too childish for their collection? So far I've only seen bumblebee that one time and I go out hunting as much as I can. But the fact is that he's only seeded once and short packed like a silver logo treasure hunt and will only appear across 2 case letters. The other side of the coin is that Mattel makes more that a couple hot wheels to sell across the world so if you're hunting enough it wouldn't take long to get your hands on a few bumblebees for sure. I hope I can find another one as the one I left inside its packaging has a chip on the roof 😔 🐝 thank you kindly for the awesome comment and for the great support. Been a busy couple of weeks for me but feels good to drop this video today. Take it easy bro 🚗💨
@@customcollects if you’re looking for an extra one or more I suggest jumping into the checkout aisles at an Aldi, had loadsa luck there lately, especially with Bumblebee come ups, I was so gassed to find them the first time…the fact there’s apparently way more out there than I first thought doesn’t diminish the buzz (groan!) of the hunt, still stoked on them 💛
Jay leno 😂😂😂😂😂
Jay Leno's collectors display is the best!!... price I've ever paid for something no one else wanted 🤣
I woke up in a bad mood today but watching this video and your enthusiasm and positivity have made that all go away, so thank you!
As a big fan of the Kenmeri skyline I'm quite unimpressed by the HW Liberty Walk version, and leaving the text off the premium is pretty shoddy. The new grey one looks better. But if you're a fan I'm glad you could get lucky and build your collection.
I didn't realise there was only one bumblebee to a case, I have seen it on two different occasions in Tesco (only bought one of them, though). The face easter egg is a nice idea but for anyone who knows transformers well, it's a bit sketchy - the underside of the bonnet becomes Bumblebee's feet in robot mode!
I wonder if they'll do any more 1980s Transformers G1 cars, the '86 Toyota van they put out in the last few years would make a perfect Ironhide and Ratchet, they have the Datsun and Porsche castings to easily make Prowl and Jazz, even the Group 5 Lancia Stratos from Boulevard already resembles Wheeljack... I'm surprised Optimus prime's trailer doesn't open and fit Bumblebee inside, most of the track fleet designs seem to include ways to carry a car.
As a big rally car enthusiast I'm loving the Abarth 131 collection, the Olio Fiat livery is cool but the one I really want is the plain red one.
Thanks again for a fun video! Next time you order from Amazon Japan, look for some Tomica Premiums! IMO they are better quality than HW premiums and usually feature opening doors/bonnets, pop up headlights and suspension - would make for a good comparison video...
Hey man! How's it going? Heck yeah such an awesome and epic comment. Sending positive vibes your way always my friend! No need to feel down when we get to wake up and admire our ever growing collection of the best 1:64 scale Diecast model cars!
Please know that your words really mean a lot to me and I appreciate the time you took to make this comment.
Man, I didn't even think about the bumblebee face thing! Even just having some feet there would have been super fun and true to the character too. That's so interesting! Now that you've highlighted all of the other characters and cars that could be used to make them a reality I hope that these can become a reality in the future and who knows! No one knew MSCHF and hot wheels would make a car together so anything is possible.
Lots of fun new premium sets coming out soon too. Race day BMW will be awesome. That Datsun from terra trak and also the black skyline chase that everyone is saying will be another £100 car after the initial hype train leaves the station.
I'm just looking forward to finding that falken Honda civic next. Gonna have to wait until that hype train passes too as I suspect employee resellers will get there first.
Will try my best to make a new video as soon as I can! Stronger every day and always trying our best 💪 keep on the good hunt mate and thanks again for your really great support. You're a real one 🚗💨🔥
The premium tampon print of front and rear lights are a great alternative to the transparten plastic parts.
Hey man, how's it going? Hope you've been getting out there and hunting down some great new pieces for your collection 🚗💨 thanks always for your really great support.
@@customcollects Hey, thanks, man! Doing well, not bothered with HW today, just enjoying the heat, the sun. I had to tone down with buying HW, man. It got out of hands. Now just going for the real castings, mainly Mainlines. Still can't wrap my head around their categories and they're new branding. It seems like a mess to me.
Please don't remind me that I spend all of my disposable income on toy cars 🤣 dude, it's totally worth it!
Did you also buy many RLC cars?
I don't like the gold premium logo. Needs to be a foil deboss on the card. You're right that it can seem confusing and a bit of a mess. 2024 really has been such a great year for mainlines 🙂🚗
I love your enthusiasm for mainline cars and finding stuff on pegs. We sometimes take it for granted car availability in some places even within the US. A lot of what you find like HW premiums I pre buy as part of a subscription plan. I get 2 cases of all car culture and 1 case each of Blvds and F & F premium sets.
You're a gent Mr Goldenberg. Yes, this video really was was of those days when you hit your local spots and it's fresh restocks across the board. Of course you must know that there were 4-5 other supermarkets and discount stores that have probably 6 fantasy cars hung up and that's the truth. But no one wants to spend their personal time watching a disappointing video so I'm grateful that I can show you guys the best of what's in stock here in the UK (London)
How much do you pay for your car culture sets if you don't mind me asking? Premiums are £45 in store but I can sometimes catch them online for £35-37.50 which is amazing. I've said it before on my channel that online shopping is likely to be the best way to score more of what you want without the large gas ⛽️ bill for your car 😉
Appreciate always your great support man. Super happy you picked some cool new bits for your collection. Are you going to pick up the MSCHF collab car on the 30th?
@@customcollects In the US we pay at retail about $6.50 USD plus tax for premium HW. When I buy cases I pay about $65 plus shipping so the same cost because I am buying from authorized resellers. Blvds are a little different because in the US they are Walmart exclusives. I’ve been getting cases for $100 USD which is a steal at $10 per car considering how hard they are to come by. Lastly transports and 2 car sets (Target exclusives in US) I only purchase by the case if I like more than 2 of the 3 and they are really really hot stuff. I already bought 2 cases of the next set of transports. Your get for so 1 is a double. This next set will be the hottest of the year IMO as 2 of the 3 are Toyotas with the 3rd being a Nissan. I think I paid $100 per case so about $25 per transport which is still less than what the scalpers will ultimately charge.
I've got the Yellow Draggin Wagon in my to open pile, I did NOT realise it was a reg T Hunt. That won't be opened now then lol.
I did feel bad saying that it didn't excite me in the video and I hope that you own all three colours in your collection now. Red, Blue and yellow. Good for you man for collecting the fun hot wheels too. Anyone who rates the draggin wagon is cool with me for sure. Hope you can find another one so that you can set it free in the future! Keep on the good hunt brother 🚗💨
@@customcollects I have the Blue and Yellow not yet found the Red. I don't collect fantasy cars but fun ones like this and helli's bikes i do. I just bagged a Super Mario Pluming van at a store 20 miles away they had 3 and I've wanted that for months didn't want to pay BAY prices.
@@customcollects Isn't it a take on the Radio Flyer children's Kart?
It actually had a really cool functionality as you can sit a mega Construx "Lego man" perfect inside and they will hold on to the front. The hands clip on perfectly! Super fun design feature for sure 👍 congrats on your finds dude. You're making me regret walking away from the draggin wagon lol
Anyone else notice on the bottom of the bumblebee the hotwheels logo was just the flame no writing, is that normal or not?
I'm sure it's fine bro. The base design is new for 2024. You can see two years appearing. 1989 for the casting and 2023 for the base. Hot wheels use multiple variety of their logo all the time 👍 hope you enjoyed the vid and thanks for the support and comment

Hey, how's it going? Thank you for the kind and insightful comment. It was very lucky to find that product in the UK 🇬🇧 there is only 1 seeded into a sealed case of 4 which is stupid and Mattel should have produced 2 of them per box like the flipside transport with the gt-r (#56) I hope that you can add this great team transport into your collection and hello and thank you fellow hot wheels collector from Japan 🇯🇵 👊🚗💨
Shoot here in the States. The bumblebee have seen sometimes three in a case and the rest of the times there's two in a case not very rare or hard to find over here.
Hey man, how's it going? Appreciate the support and that you took the time to make this comment. Yes, bumblebee was packed 1 per case for the first release and then he appears twice or more for the 2nd case which is really great for collectors! Was mainly leaning on the first case for this video as that's what I was finding and it's great to have cars as soon as they come out. I'm happy other collectors will get to add this transformers collaboration into their collection and I'm also super hyped about the upcoming gold release for bumblebee too 🐝 🏆 hope you enjoyed the vid and wish you the very best of luck always for the next time you're out hunting for hot wheels 🚗💨
Another amzing video 📹 👌 congrats on your finds. And i must say I did not realize how amazing that optimus prime was out of the packaging. I think i plan on picking one of those up for sure! Thanks again all the way from US California 😎
Hey hey! Hello mate how's it going? Greeting from across the pond 🇬🇧 I hope you're enjoying and laughing at how much money I have to spend on these small metal cars. Every time the cashier reads out my total, in my head I think about premiums being 6 bucks and a mainline costing $1.18 where you are... need to pack an empty suitcase and get myself over to the states. Which US state has the most hot wheels?? Super lucky to have found 2 of the track fleet Optimus primes, so happy to open one and now I'm looking for somewhere fun to put mine on display. Definitely grab one man if you ever find one. I also saw that bumblebee is coming back in gold in a future case which I'm hyped for and I'm looking forward to finding the new falken Honda from a silver label series and that new Datsun truck too from terra trak. Always a pleasure my dude. Great chatting with you and thanks always for your kind words and great support too! Been a super busy couple of weeks for me but happy to drop this video today 🚗💨
@customcollects yes sir 🫡 thanks for all your hard work!!!! Not sure which state has the most hotwheels but that is a very interesting question I never thought about that lol.....man that's a good question!!!!
Nice, I managed to find BumbleBee but not Optimus yet. I managed to find the Silver Porsche from F&F this week and the S14 from SS2. Its Sad to see they missed some tampos on the LBWK Skyline. I picked up the MiniGt version. I have all of SS2 but the Corolla. Nice pickups and great video as always man!👍🤙
Hey man! How's it going? Are you feeling 100% back to full strength? It's been a busy past couple of weeks for me but still managing to get out and about when I can. It's completely crazy how Optimus track fleet is being sniped so quickly and I've only ever found him and even the Volvo that one time I showed in a previous video. How are the pegs looking where you are? When I recorded for this video I swear that day was when all the places I check had fresh restocks and it's always worth ask staff if they have anymore more hot wheels out the back as checking that box and scoring a 2nd bumble bee was very lucky. I don't think other collectors realise what a special collaboration that yellow vw is and I'm happy to see that bumblebee is coming back in GOLD for a future case towards the end of this year 👍 need to find a fun place to display my Optimus track fleet and I'll be looking to pick up more older vw bugs online / eBay as well. It's going to be fun trying to find that falken Honda in the upcoming silver label series for speed graphics and I'm also hyped for that terra trek Datsun. Super happy you enjoyed the video and keep posting your collection too man. You only add the best pieces for sure 👍 take it easy brother 🚗💨
@@customcollects Im not 100% but the worst of it is over, I appreciate you asking👍. The pegs have been wiped out each time I went this week, missed 3 cases of the TT, guy only left the porsches and cant seem to find that Corolla in store from SS2. I picked up a few more L case castings, the tooned Porsche, Magnus Walker Porsche Carrera and Ford Maverick Custom. I have very limited space so I have to pick and choose till I get my desk setup and then maybe I can record some proper videos. Good luck out there and keep on the hunt bro🤙
Keep fighting your good fight man. You'll find the Corolla eventually. What you're looking for the most eventually finds you is definitely something I remind myself about as I've gone on eBay and purchased something I thought I'd never see here in the UK and then bam. Next week I find 2 of them for retail. Feels bad. You'll get your Toyota one day. I can guarantee it. Keep hunting for sure! Lots of fun things to acquire for our collections coming up. Will you pick up the MSCHF hot wheels collab car? I don't think I'll ever "unsee" or forget those hilarious red rubber boots they made and all the memes that other people made about them. Definitely going to try my luck when it drops on the 30th 👍
@@customcollects Oh yeah man, my 5 yo just started school so I will have loads more time to hunt and will probably hit those early morning pegs. I have one sure place I will be able to find the TT and Corolla eventually when they get that stock. I did my 1st Ali express order also, got a diorama and 20 sets of real riders for less than $20 usd for that new customer deal thing.

@customcollects Dollar Tree in Florida....only 1 there with 2 mains which mean I found the only one in that case
Enjoy it! Such a cool looking hot wheels. Happy I could showcase the FNT premium version in my video too. Are you going to open in? Put your super in a protector?

Real collectors shouldn't have to pay the eBay tax. That's why we put our boots on, grab our favourite drink. Fill our cars up with a full tank of fuel and go hunting for hot wheels 🫡 appreciate the support brother. Wish you great luck for the next time your out hunting for treasure 🚗💨
Did you get the Hasbro/Hotwheels collab of Optimus Prime? I got one on the drop day and it's truly epic.
10:36 yes sir! Full unboxing and review here 👍 you can watch me finding it in my previous hot wheels hunting video as well. Enjoy! It's crazy how that track fleet release is clearly snapped up by employees. Most likely as it sells for a lot on eBay right now. Super happy I opened mine. Did you open yours? Thanks for the support and kind words mate. Appreciate you 🚗💨
@@customcollects Indeed I saw that. I was referring to the Mattel creations version. The fully transformable one.
Ah right! No I passed on deluxe Optimus prime. Although I did watch the show as a kid and I went to see the Megan fox movie at the cinema the day it came out. I feel like I'm collecting hot wheels for the cars and would rather spend my month budget on other pieces for my collection. I wouldn't have anywhere decent to display it either. With this said you are extremely lucky to pick one up on the day of release as I did follow that product and saw it went out of stock very very quickly! Haven't picked up as RLC car since the skyline. Looking forward to the elite BMW when that drops in the future
congrats on your finds!
You're a true gent. Thank you very much mate. If you have a hunting routine like me then you can tell within the first 1 or 2 stores if you'll be walking up to a fresh restock or not. This video is jam packed with so many epic hot wheels waiting for me to walk up to them first! Super super lucky. How are you? Have you added any cool new pieces into your collection? Appreciate your kind support always. Thanks for taking the time to leave an awesome comment too 🚗💨
@@customcollects I mostly shop at walmart and dollar stores....the secondary stores are marked up too high for my budget....and we have nowhere near the selection you do there. there are so many savy collectors now from when I started all the good stuff disappears before it hits the shelf it seems!

Ah yes! To live in the home of hot wheels. Yeah for real man. If you watch enough of my videos you'll see that it's not exactly the same level here in the UK 😂 still planning to pack an empty suitcase and enjoy the day that I can actually pay a dollar for 1 mainline basic car. In some supermarkets they charge £2.40 / $3.16 for just one basic car! lol. If you can find a lot of bumblebee bro then make sure you pick up a few for yourself and friends 👍 you are very lucky and live in a great area where there must be lots to choose from and not so many collectors / scalpers. Not the same story where live. For real. Hope you enjoyed the vid mate! Which state are you in? Do you find many supers? 🚗💨
When I hear people say “ive been hunting for 30+ years I’ve never came across a STH or TH” 😂 I’m sorry but you’ve been doing it wrong for 30+ years 😂 I understand it’s hard to find any STH in Europe it’s I believe 1 in every 45 cases? I’m in the USA so correct me if I’m wrong.
Haha! Hey man, how's it going? Thanks for the good laugh and also you are right. The opportunity is out there you just have to look. But also I understand many STH never leave the stockrooms that they land in and there will always be employee resellers who know exactly what they're doing. To quote a Reddit post about this topic.
What you're talking about sounds like one of those myths that humans develop when they can't understand something. "Why is it raining?" "The gods are angry." "Why can't I find STHs?" "The scalpers got them all (US)," "We don't get as many of them (EU)."
There may be some truth to this rumor, which is what gives the myth power. I do believe that the States see far more shipments than Europe, so if the basic math is 1 STH per 10 cases, and the U.S. gets more cases, then they get more STHs.
The real question, which only Mattel could answer, is whether the ratio of STHs is different in Europe. If you look at this strictly as a manufacturing process STH distribution is not predictable. Mattel runs off a certain number of them, inserts them into cases at a consistent rate, then sends those cases out randomly mixed with other cases. There should be a hard allocation of STHs for the States and for Europe, based on the number of cases shipped to each region, which brings us back to Europe getting fewer STHs because they get fewer cases, but the ratio of STHs to all other cars remaining the same.
Hope you enjoyed the video! Wish you the very best of luck for the next time you're out hunting for hot wheels brother 🚗💨
