Off The Pegs: Hot Wheels "Hot Ones" July, 2011

[FunkyMKW]

Absolutely my favorite HW series in 2011!!! Almost got all 50!

[racegrooves]

@FunkyMKW Congrats! I am only looking for a few pieces for my collection. They have done a very nice job with the Hot Ones. Thanks for visiting my Channel!

[FunkyMKW]

@racegrooves Thanks! Yes, they did an amazing job! I really love the Spoiler Sport. (: Anytime, your videos helped me to learn about collecting HW cars. (:

[racegrooves]

@FunkyMKW Have fun collecting =)

[ferrarifan9102]

Actually the Fat Fendered '40 was featured during ''The Hot Ones'' lineup in the 80's.

[racegrooves]

@ferrarifan9102 That is interesting. South Texas Diecast shows the first one as a Hot Ones release but the package. Thanks! Funny you should mention the Fat Fendered 40. I just uploaded a video with a HTF FF40 =)

[ferrarifan9102]

@racegrooves You should check Hot Wheels Wiki, they have information on all the Hot Wheels Models, including the T-Hunt's and The Hot Ones ;)

[DJ4000VOLT]

i wanna fat fenderd a twin mill a 57 chevy and a neet street

[JoshTheCollectorGuy]

These are some cool cars i bought the combat medic today. i really want the 57 chev and the 78 camaro z28

[racegrooves]

@JoshTheCollectorGuy I don't see the Combat hanging around anywhere anymore nor the '57 Chevy but I do see the white Camaro. I have bought a few more since then. I think three Camaros and the green one that is shown on the card.

[Hotshotmech38]

I NEED that green F1 looking thing lolz

[racegrooves]

@Hotshotmech38 The green F1 looking model, the El Rey Special, is nicely done! I seen it at Target yesterday.

[legoproductions1100]

I got 2 at wal-mart.

[racegrooves]

@legoproductions1100 Which two Hot Ones did you pick up?

[racegrooves]

@FunPlun I like the price and presentation of The Hot Ones!

[netmatrix75]

I like the combat medic and got that too. The 70s' van have a variant. Its lighter pink. Chase cars are hard to spot. (Too many collectors here)

[racegrooves]

@netmatrix75 Yeah, I haven't found any Hot Ones Chases either.

[XXMusicForYouXX]

The '57 Chevy looked cool.

[hotwheelsrule123]

are they available at walmart?

[racegrooves]

@hotwheelsrule123 I haven't heard about the Hot Ones showing up at WM yet but I'm sure they will be there soon.

[racegrooves]

@hotwheelsrule123 I seen them at Kmart today too. I haven't seen them at a WM yet but I don't go to WM that often.

[50senUnit]

Love the vintage style

[jameel989]

this should be in malaysia cuz hotwheel is made from malaysia :)

[largejason333]

SO GETING THE CAMARO

[racegrooves]

@largejason333 The Camaro looked nice but I didn't buy it.

[largejason333]

@racegrooves its all in prefferins

[hotwheelsrawesoms1]

are they in canada??

[racegrooves]

@hotwheelsrawesoms1 I have not heard if the Hot Ones will be available in Canada.

[XXMusicForYouXX]

@racegrooves I'll look at me local Pharm (Pharm for short)

[TheDodgeviper1999]

@hotwheelsrawesoms1 i know they have them in edmonton here but im not sure about anywhere else

[MyAztecs]

wat kinds of cars do u recomend looking for???

[racegrooves]

@Sixty8HotWheels They are all nicely done.

[HotWheelsHeadCase]

They look real nice I bet i'll never see them for sale here in OZ :(

[racegrooves]

@HotWheelsHeadCase Probably not but it is up to Mattel in your region to order them.

[ricerboy100]

hmmmm nice the Combat Medic is the only one thats got my attention so far its really neat!!

[racegrooves]

@ricerboy100 There is no way that I was going to walk out of the store without a Combat Medic!

[formulaonehotwheel]

Im considering the green indy racer known as the El Rey Special, especially since I have one from the old days. Still, these are cool considering I missed out on some of these models many years ago.

[racegrooves]

@formulaonehotwheel A nice model! I will probably buy the reissue El Rey Special as well. I do have one in a box somewhere...

[fish3rman84]

Are they exclusive Only to toys r us Looks like a good series To collect I like the older cars alot

[racegrooves]

@fish3rman84 No, they will be available at all mass-market retailers.

[DaddyIvo]

Agreed Mark. I don't buy "every-single" Hotwheels that's released. Thanks for the heads-up on these cool-looking wheels. Had to work (OT) today, so my toy-run will have to wait til' tomorrow.

[racegrooves]

@DaddyIvo I found the Hot Ones on the way to work, did 2 hours of O/T, came home and did the narration, and went to bed! No time for any extra information like comparing these Hot Ones for original Hot Ones. That will have to wait for another video if I have the time! Don't forget to look for the "red-letters on the tires" chase pieces =)

[epictheepicguy]

why dincha bought the short cards?

[racegrooves]

@epictheepicguy I buy enough cars! I don't need to buy everything that I see.

[hossi74]

To be honest, i am not too fond of them. I do not like the castings so far, and the card design is also outdated. Might have worked in the 80s but we are not already in the 10s :)

[racegrooves]

@hossi74 It is a little bit of a tough pill to swallow when it wasn't too long ago when these models were part of the basic lineup. I had more to say but I wanted to get this up quickly so people could get a heads-up to start looking for them. I have more to say but I needed to get to bed!

[bravo22]

i been to 4 toys r us here in CT, i have yet to see any of these hot ones yet...

[racegrooves]

@bravo22 I just found them yesterday. They were not at a second TRU that I visited.

[emccurnin]

YES!! im going to tru today!! i will record and see if the hot ones are there!

[racegrooves]

@emccurnin I wish you luck! As far as I know, I am the first person to report them being available at retail. I didn't see anybody on any messageboard finding them either. They have only been available from online retailers/dealers.

[emccurnin]

@racegrooves well i just got back and... i only got one basic car and some candy =(

[clubdestroy]

will these be avalible in the uk?

[racegrooves]

@clubdestroy Sorry, I don't know about international availability.

[123456hotwheels]

other than the combat medic which was your favorite?

[racegrooves]

@123456hotwheels I bout the Combat Medic, '57 Chevy, and the 70's Van. I will surely be buying models from future releases because there will be brand new tools and some classics that haven't been seen for awhile.

[JVARGAS513]

They look awesome,cant wait to find them btw you have really good website.i was up half the night on it lol...

[racegrooves]

@JVARGAS513 Thanks! I appreciate your viewership =)

[MissToyCollector]

Awesome Hot Wheels! I hope we get them here in the UK.

[racegrooves]

@MissToyCollector You're the second person to comment that you hope that they show up in the U.K. I forgot to mention that they all had metal bases.

[Lionferrari777]

what dose chase pices mean???

[racegrooves]

@Lionferrari777 Chase pieces is supposed to mean that the ones with the red-letter tires will be produced in smaller quantities than the other releases.

[Lionferrari777]

@racegrooves so redline hot wheels cars

[racegrooves]

@Lionferrari777 Check eBay for pics. You could probably use the words Hot Wheels Hot Ones Chase

[Trikenut012]

Sweet I hope to find some, I used to have a '57 Chevy with Hot Ones wheels, but it was a lil newer, not quite as "retro" would be cool to add this one to my collection

[racegrooves]

@Trikenut012 The '57 Chevy is a classic model! It was one of the three that I purchased. I will do another video possibly over the weekend with more jibber jabber =)

[MegaAwsomeStudios]

There is soo meany cars i need to look for, there coming out with soo meany models i like, can't wait to see the packin pacer with the new tool ! but hopefully those cars will be sold in canada !

[racegrooves]

@MegaAwsomeStudios There are a lot of cars released every month. That's why it is important to have focus. If you can afford and if you desire them all, more power to you! I hop you get them in Canada too. I will be looking forward to some of the models like the Packin' Pacer too!

[icollectstuffdude]

Neat, thank's for the information! :)

[racegrooves]

@You're welcome!

[georgeman21222]

very cool , im loving the vintage feel to it very cool indeed

[racegrooves]

@georgeman21222 I will be very selective on what I buy because I already own a lot of the original vintage models that theses are to recreate.

[henryblazer20]

thanks for the heads up on the chase pieces

[racegrooves]

@henryblazer20 You're welcome - good luck in finding a chase! That's why I'm letting you guys know so hopefully you have the knowledge to know what to look for =)

[henryblazer20]

freakin love these and the way they look..gotta love the 80's

[racegrooves]

@henryblazer20 Theses models were very nicely done! As with most releases, I will buy some for the pile but most likely, not all of them. Out of these original eight, I bought three. The '57 Chevy, the 70's Van and the Combat Medic.

[dreadnok320]

Thanks for the heads up. I think i will be buying some of those cars. They look like the cars i had as a kid.

[racegrooves]

@dreadnok320 Mattel knows exactly how to market these cars. I forgot to mention that the packages are full-color on the back too! Pretty cool!

[matchboxfireEMS]

Sweet im going to get all of them

[racegrooves]

@matchboxfireEMS I'm not buying every release. Out of these original eight, I bought three. The '57 Chevy, the 70's Van and the Combat Medic. I look forward to the future releases though because there will be some brand new releases and some re-issues of some classic models!

[pnoyride]

very cool 80's hot wheels!!!

[racegrooves]

@pnoyride I have a feeling that this series is going to be pretty popular!
