Lamley Unboxing: Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Original 16 Display Set 

The problem with that is at $20 per car times 16 come out to $320 for the cars alone, $100 to $150 on mettels is not feasibility.

Ok then, $350. It just feels like a rip-off when the box costs 150 dollars.

Dew2667, agreed. I just hope HW continues to sell the remaining 8 after making the first 8 individually available...

I totally agree! It's the 50th anniversary of Hotwheels! This sort of stuff should be for everyone. They can have these really special extra quality sets for the guys who have money burning holes in their pockets, but what about all the other fans of the brand? Like, the people this stuff should actually be made for... if the cars were like the 5 car series they made, and the whole set was much more affordable, it would be a much greater service to the real fans, but they're catering to the people who will give them the $$$, which I understand, it is a business at the end of the day. Still disappointing, but they have given us some great stuff this year regardless.

Supernice !! But the fact that Mattel made it next to unaffordable for a hobby peice kind of dulls the shine.😫

Those wheels ruin it for me

Eddie Munster you’re not alone bud

Empty Pocket strikes back

Now they go for 1500 sheesh

I bought this set and plan not to open the box.

I think the "original 16" is for the models, not the display case.

the O-16 are the models...but its an O-16 display for the models

0 (zero) not O (letter)

no its the letter O for original

i currently collect the old 1968 hotwheels so if you have any left and want to sell them let me know :)

the cars the came in the box in my opinion are way to shiny compared to the originals and the spectro flame orange looks really nasty compared to the original spectroflame orange

I have bought real cars for less than the price of this.

You have an original store display?

You are right some people want 2k

Yeahbitcwas called the CarCraft DreamRod.

Jan Ruber you atleast get to attend the conventions in Germany, meanwhile in my country (India) we are still devoid of that

Nice I still need the squareback, drag bus, truck, and the 56 chevy.

@@civicrider5556 In my case I didn't attend the conventions, but you're right. There are many toy fairs and conventions in Germany. I got most stuff of my diecast collection from local flea markets and stores. Siku is a big collector's favourite in Germany. These are high-quality diecast cars. These were made in Germany until the 1990s. Old Sikus in mint condition are worth a lot of money in my country. Some of them have similiar prices compared to original mint Redlines.

Germans are lucky

Jan Ruber we have siku in our country too but old stock, we haven’t got the new one yet, really waiting for the Bugatti chiron

yea i noticed that too :/

I don't think so. Their perfect

it's rlc quality, can't be compared to 68 spectraflam

I think I read somewhere it's 27 x 12 x 12 but don't quote me on that. Mike Zarnock video shows a good shot next to him, so those sound about right.

@@bdanyluk Thanks you sir I appreciate the reply.

Smaller production numbers on the cars themselves raises the price as well. It is cheaper per car to make 10000 of one car vs 1500. Yea the display ain't cheap either, but production numbers are also a source of the cost.

I bought one on ebay right after the sale for $850. Now... when they're listed... they sell for between $1600 and $2000. It's nice to see this set in hand, but I like the colors much better for the first set in the individual black boxes. If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy the original set... now that their prices aren't as crazy on ebay (i.e., as they were a couple years ago... when I started buying them :-( ... and then open and put them in a cool display case. It's tough to appreciate them in a blister pack... in a black box.

well done for looking after it for so long :)

Most likely it is Detroit. remember it was 1968.

I mean, 500 divided by 16 equals 31.25 per car,and there still is that nice display, but I do wish it would go for less though
