Thank you so much, Paul!!! I was waiting for the Fast and Furious set because the Impala is a new casting of a '66 model, which only has been done by Auto World so far. I knew this model would be coming, but had no idea when. It must be another couple of months if the sneak peak from Asia is anything to go by. I thought it was going to be a Car Culture release, but this is better news for me....I plan on making customs, so I don't need an expensive model with metal base and Real Riders. The DeTomaso is actually a Pantera. Matchbox and Tomica did this model in the mid-1970s. The San Diego Comic Con model at the beginning is a great design as always, but not something for me as it is not a car. Still, I am glad to see Mattel designers keeping their creativity going. Regarding Matchbox, I am getting sick of all the Tesla models! I collected them originally, but they are rather dull now. The Jeep Wagoneer and classic '64 Wagoneer are FANTASTIC!!! I forgot that the modern Wagoneer was announced last year. I hope these are not too tiny....these are big vehicles in real life, and if too small a scale, it may be only one example of each for me. Yes, you are so right about new design vs old cars. The Citroen will get into my collection, but compare it to the Pathfinder that follows!!! That is a classic that I remember well from the 1980s. I bet Tomica has made it either in the mainline of the TLV series, but I know the company "Novacar" in Portugal was owned by Majorette produced this model. It was plastic with a diecast base, but still a nice vehicle to have in the collection. Great Daily Dose of news, Paul!!!!!
Nice! Well I'll say that with this F & F set being in the Silver series you will at least get front and rear decos. My favourite from this set would actually be the De Tomaso Pantera. Matchbox Porsche Macan looking good in that orange and with that wheel choice. 👍
Matchbox nissan pathfinder is my pick, the F&F R33 skyline in the silver series might end up being a lot better looking then the premium that came out a few years ago they gobbed it up with paint and all the body lines disappeared, thanks for the updates ✌
$30 for that Naboo ship?...are you kidding me? (and look at that landing gear...it should be much closer to the actual ship design, and also metallic in appearance...)...you're right- no one asked for this...
00:35 Right man, no one asked for this. I collect many Star Wars stuff but this is way too expensive, no figures, moving parts, landing gear..... passing on this one easily!
The Naboo Starship from Star Wars (wich appeared in Episode 1: The Phantom Menace back in 1997) is an unusual release from Hot Wheels and 20 years too late if you ask me. Star Wars isn't so popular right now and there are even videos on RU-vid showing thousands of unsold Star Wars-related figures and other items wich just hang on the pegs, and noone's bying them. So i don't think it's worth $30 honestly. The new 'Silver' release with F&F Furious cars has some cool castings in it, the car at 2:03 is DeTomaso Pantera and the '66 Chevy Impala is a new casting. The plastic wheels in the 'Silver' line are exclusive to this line by the way. The Matchbox castings look interesting, the RAM Work Truck and the Renault Kangoo look decent, but no interior on these models unfortunately. I like the '65 Ford C900 (no actual trailer released to fit this model though yet), the 2022 Porsche Macan, 2022 & 1964 Jeep Wagoneer and the 1985 Nissan Pathfinder. Thanks for the news.
I like Star wars and have seen most of the movies, but don't consider myself a real fan. I think that star wars ship is very pretty, but $30 is way too much, unless it's super exclusive and something star wars fans would really like.
