[Cutiebot70]

whats the yellow car called?

[atomictrain513]

Hello, I would like to ask what type of High Speed camera you use, and how many fps it shoots. Thanks. :D

[leokimvideo]

@atomictrain513 its a casio fh100, it can shoot 120, 240, 420, 1000 fps, but be careful the images need loads of reworking to present them on the tube

[leokimvideo]

@atomictrain513 and thanks..!!

[MegaRingstar]

leokimvideo hot wheels are made for boy collectors men collectors not girlzsfesw you fuck

[ilegolord]

Awsome

[aliasangelalias]

Another fantastic video review! I totally love to see more of your Hot Wheel Set reviews~ :)

[oldspice671]

Ok thank you for your help

[oldspice671]

what store did you buy this at?

[leokimvideo]

@oldspice671 kmart in Oz, racegroves tells me this set in not available in the USA

[alyciadeangelo]

500 dollars.

[leokimvideo]

@xenomorph1009 thats an amazing price

[boltedproductions]

ok thanks if you can :)

[theNinjastar27]

Around 0:28 I saw some paint chip off the green car! Man, Leo was right, these cars do get roughed up! Anyways great review!

[leokimvideo]

@theNinjastar27 i could call this set the paint stripper set

[SmokeSkid]

Thumbs up if you recogize the Baseline car

[legoscooter17]

i have notice that hot wheels have reused their cars and tracks.

[leokimvideo]

@legoscooter17 you know so do lego, i think both are re inventing the wheel over and over

[Nightshroud99]

I think I've sufficiently ravaged this videos related videos tab.

[flightdeckreviews]

leo the noise level of the launcher has'nt changed in years I remember having a set when i was about four (around 2000) and the launcher from the set was just as noisy.

[leokimvideo]

@flightdeckreviews i see some tubers who have sets with multiple car launchers being used, it must sound like a 747 taking off

[trainlover658]

I'd love to see something like a take along race around a hotwheels track, but considering their centre of gravity, I can't see that happening any time soon.

[leokimvideo]

@trainlover658 have a search, chuggington do a hot wheels styled set where the trains go for a very high speed circuit of a set

i bet thomas will follow up doing something like this as well

[zjrlegomovies]

cool begining

[leokimvideo]

@zjrlegomovies because it's Hot Wheels, they have been cool for a very long time now.

[boltedproductions]

Leo, could you possibly take a look at character building doctor who ? it's a construction toy that focus' on the British sci fi doctor who, it is on the pricy side but would be brilliant if you could. Thanks :)

[leokimvideo]

@boltedproductions i'm yet to see that where i live

[toddjochapman]

Onya Leo, great clip as usual

[leokimvideo]

@toddjochapman you know me, 40 something body with a pre teen brain

[racegrooves]

Nice review! For some reason, this set never gets released in the U.S. As you found out, not all cars are meant for the boosters.

[leokimvideo]

@racegrooves hi, i know your a avid hot wheels tuber, i did look very carefully at your content before producing this video

it's funny to me hot wheels has not changed a bit in oh so many years, thats sort of nice in a way but also dangerous, kids today are far more difficult to entertain than we ever were, far more detractions going on, Internet / games being the big one

i did like your channel policy video, its something i should have done a long time ago

[racegrooves]

@leokimvideo Mattel is quite aware of how electronics has changed the way that most kids are entertained. This one was created about ten years ago and it gets re-issued from time to time. I can't keep track because like I mentioned, it doesn't get sold in the U.S. As for making a Channel Policy video, I haven't seen it done for other Channels but with me having a dedicated, focused channel that is family friendly, I thought that it was a good idea. Thanks and best of luck to you!

[MegaTrainfreak]

i seen this in argos in the UK at half price at £24.99.

[keydocam123]

maybe you can do a review on the hot wheels video racer

[leokimvideo]

@keydocam123 i have seen a german ad on the tube for the cars with a video camera, and i will keep a eye out for them, thanks for the reminder

[LBCSport2010]

l got that when i was 3 as the f1 world track

[thomasmodelmaster]

USA PA it's close to $50

[thomasmodelmaster]

JAME'S BOND

[silverpegasus1765]

i had this set once it came out 8 years ago and had an F1 theme and car

[leokimvideo]

@silverpegasus1765 i wonder if this design had a life even before that, it does have the feel of a old classic set without the silly themes you see getting about today

[VideoGr8Editing]

@leokimvideo It in fact was an old F1 set which I got when I was small! The track is exactly the same! The booster has not changed at all! Lovely set!

[eoin730]

i seen it for 16.99 euros at argos in ireland.

[leokimvideo]

@eoin730 thanks for the price from Ireland

[MegaTrainfreak]

whats the song from 0:00 to 1:40?

[TheRailfan747]

Hot wheels sure look cool in slow motion...

[MyFavoriteNerd]

any one know how to set up a yt profile pic? i need help! D:

[000roblox]

Cool A Grown Man Palying With hot Wheels. I LOVE IT!

[leokimvideo]

@000roblox well my daughter is not a grown man..!!!!!!

[000roblox]

@leokimvideo OOps LOL

[crazyracer12]

I have the black car with the silver flanks at 0:21!

:D

[ThomastheE2engine]

nice video

i always wanted a hotheels set with a car lancher when i was young.

the best i got was theone where you clip it on to the table with the G clamp that it came with and let it roll down the ramp through the loop-the-loop and then over the jump :P

was fun come to think of it.

love the slow motion footage :)

very much looking forward to your next video :)

[legomaster1378]

Mini demolition derby!

[BrickTVEntertainment]

I got the yellow color shifters car. I haven't found a metallic color shifters here YET. But I doubt that I will even CARE to find one of these, let me show you my likeness timeline:

2003-2006 & 2009-2010=Hot Wheels

2007-2008 & 2009-2010=Planes

April 2011-June 2011=Trains

2008-Present Time=LEGO

[9thetwins]

i got the car with the star but its not metallic

[9thetwins]

I have like 60 something hot wheels cars in my collection

[nleeder]

Brillliant Leo!!  With 537 very appreciative viewers in less than one day and, seemingly, a new area to thoroughly explore further, this one and its sequels could go really viral!!!! Great stuff!!

[TheEthan1005]

how did you get that Black&White car that looks like an Impala

[leokimvideo]

@TheEthan1005 it was in a special bin at target for $1.50

[ChristheXelent]

Did you use a professional High Speed camera for this?

The quality of the footage is excellent and the behaviour of all the cars is strangely fascinating!

[leokimvideo]

@ChristheXelent my camera was just a el chepo casio fx100, the image quality is very poor so I do a few tricks to make it look better

[trainsrg8]

1:11 epic ramp

[scottthewaterwarrior]

Honestly I find those launchers the best, they could be quieter but for I while HotWheels was only making those stupid fold and go play sets. I used to have a bunch of track, but then some no name brands got mixed in, some of the actual HotWheels track lost, and so it didn't really fit together any more so I got rid of it. Still have all my cars and I wish I could buy more track, but lack the funds and more importantly the space. OK, I have the funds, but that's for LEGOs! Awesome video!

[leokimvideo]

@scottthewaterwarrior when i went shopping for a hot wheels set i steered clear of the themed sets, they looked tacky. I did my best to buy some thing which I remembered from years ago

gotta say hot wheels is a survivor in a very competitive toy environment, mind you I have seen individual cars for under $2 so you really can't go wrong, the color shifters I felt were overpriced at almost $8 ( in Australia ), but they are still very cool to play with

[scottthewaterwarrior]

@leokimvideo Here, in the U.S. they are about $1.25 for the regular cars. I don't remember how much the color shifters are.

[TheNw1218]

It's so strange, these were popular when you and most adults were kids and teens in the 70's and what do you know...

Hot wheels are still popular among 21st century kids

[leokimvideo]

@TheNw1218 i'm a little surprised as well, mind you it is a fairly inexpensive toy overall, it's basically a classic toy considering how long it's been around for.

[m3sca1]

My cousin bought that set a few weeks back-there were 5 grown men in a shed,feeding cars onto the track and cheering on the big crashes-very retro feel.

[leokimvideo]

@m3sca1 yep i can assure you grown men love this set, i certainly did

[Conducter49]

Your take on toys are great I would love to see you take a look at a lionel train set if you could get your hands on one.

[littlegalah]

Hypercolor. The paint contained a thermochromic pigment that changed between two colors with hot and cold. Its a old technology and has been around for all most 35 years.

It's best knowen for t-shirts in the 1980's. I know the paint is over $300 per L

[leokimvideo]

@littlegalah again you bring to my audience knowledge extensive web searching failed to achieve, in a work

amazing

i never had colour ( color USA spelling ) changing shirts in the 80's, but I did have a number of Kiss T shirts which would all be weird collectibles for some.

[littlegalah]

@leokimvideo It's only the red pigment that is thermochromic and will go transperant. As a paint you can use it 2 ways as a overlay or a mixer. As a overlay you can go from red to any colour. As a mixer it must be 50% of the colour used.

OK leo I know about the spelling. firefox respells every thing to US spelling.

[Sketchy2009Studios]

I have a 6 year old brother who is in LOVE with Hot Wheels. Could you tell me how much this goes for? I might buy it for him.

[tidmouthmilk12]

I didn't know they had a Hot Wheels set based on Spaghetti Junction!

[leokimvideo]

@tidmouthmilk12 lol

[Thesnowleopard123]

YOUR FINALLY DOING HOTWHEELS!!!

[leokimvideo]

@Thesnowleopard123 it has some very excited indeed

[lfairchild1112]

i dident mean to put the extra 9

[lfairchild1112]

ive seen it for 17.99 9(i live in the U.S.)

[leokimvideo]

@lfairchild1112 ok, i'm moving to the USA where Lego is far cheaper, Hot Wheels as well, I have been told IKEA stuff there is half and sometimes two thirds cheaper than Australia

What is going on where I live, it's just becoming the place to rip off consumers, i think this subject deserves a very special video, times up big corporations..!

[cyberkidmfb]

@leokimvideo in india the normal cars cost rs 99 and the colour shifters rs 125

they were selling some old stock and one car cost rs 15 only .

ps i didnt feel like converting them to $ sorry

[pbk9365]

@leokimvideo Where are you moving to in the USA?

[ejcmoorhouse]

My hotwheels set needs 4 D batterys and is deafining and has a three way launch. I think they only make Ds for Hotwheel set!!?!

[Nightshroud99]

I autoplayed my own video too long, so I'll put this up on my channel.

[HankandOliver1]

Man, those were great angles on that Hot Wheels track! I'm really impressed! I think you've out done yourself!

[dkbmaestrorules]

Leo

I think the way those cars change colour is with thermochromic pigments (literally heat-colour pigments) which change colour according to their temperature. They've been used for quite some time in things like baby thermometer strips but they're starting to appear elsewhere now. Hope this helps!

David

[leokimvideo]

@dkbmaestrorules well if thats the case you have done far better than what comes up on google searches, on a query how do colour ( color USA spelling ) shifters work 99% of web entries state you need hot and cold water..lol

then again ask a silly question and you know what your going to get

will the internet make us smarter...hmmmm, i'm not sure.

[baxter22071990]

i wouldnt class 6:00 as a fail, to see the olive jeep take a death defying leap is outstanding :D

same with 0:27 as the olive car hits something flies off into the yonder, what a treat , you certainly wouldnt see it at a full speed,

how do some of the more modern cars compare to the older models you had as a young man leo?

[leokimvideo]

@baxter22071990 its a fail because the action happened literally off camera and out of focus

as for hot wheels cars to me they have not changed that much, loads of the designs are based on 60's 70's cars so in a way they remain timeless, possibly the paint schemes are now more elaborate, the track and joiners are exactly the same, it was freaky playing with this stuff again

Hot Wheels is the Potato Head of toy cars..!.....classic

[WORRO01]

Very much enjoyed your first Hot-Wheels review!

Thumbs up!~~John

[theTWmovie]

Revieuw the starwars action figures or a lego starwars advent kalandar

[Nfuego5]

@leokimvideo In my local shops, I pay about €30 for that, €25 when it's christmas! P.S: when will you tell us the kre-o contest competition results? Nfuego

[themymysteryman101]

@Nfuego5 The kre-o results are annotated over the prizes in the Michael Jackson MOC video. :)

[leokimvideo]

@themymysteryman101 thanks

[themymysteryman101]

@leokimvideo Your welcome, when will the results of the Mini-me contest be up?

[flyboy172r]

Love it!

[kkehoe5]

I am surprised to see so many cars in one set. The last 3 sets I bought my sons came with only one car, even though they were racing sets. The set in my hotwheel video came with just one car and it was one of the worst performing cars. I found other cars worked better and no name non-hotwheel cars seemed to work the best. They were light and had fast wheels.

[leokimvideo]

@kkehoe5 having 5 cars was great BUT only 3 really worked well, the longer heavier models seemed to suit the very fast track, as for the cost of Hot Wheels cars well I see them for sub $2 and even close to $1, so the fact there are 5 cars didn't really impress me considering how inexpensive they are

some cars worked far better going around backwards, as weird as this sounds

[dan110024]

...Found it! Thermochromic paint / Thermochromism. Wikipedia has a write up on it and Google brings up many results. Interesting indeed...of course it's nothing new, but I haven't seen it since I was a kid (hypercolour tshirts, 'moodrings') so I've never questioned it.

[leokimvideo]

@dan110024 well I think I want it on my real car

[dan110024]

You're right... finding any information on the chameleon type of paint is hard! I think we're just not using the right key words...

[leokimvideo]

@dan110024 yes I was typing in how do hot wheels color shifters work, and all I got back was you need hot and cold water..! Loads of ad spam pages to boot

I thought for a while all this was a set up, I was never trained in key word use at school, i'm a pre internet guy..!

[theTWmovie]

I bet its in hollland 15.99

[theTWmovie]

I wish that i am 7 and have this track serius i have over 200 hotwheels

[Auzziable]

This video wants me to ask for Hot Wheels for christmas!! :D

[leokimvideo]

@Auzziable i looked very carefully at what was on the shelf, loads of hot wheels sets are partial sets or stuck on some crazy fad theme, i chose one which reminded me of the classic stuff without all the modern day spin

i was also after sheer speed and crash action, and hell I certainly got that

[mini696]

I collect anything "mini" (prefer classic ones rather than the BMW ones). My friend collects FJ40's but they are usually Matchbox.

My colour shift cars are years old now and no longer change colour. They had a full metal body though.

[cyberkidmfb]

yay! i love hotwheels . what can i say thanks for this video and nice job

[theonlyadsrulz]

This appears to be a development of a similar set I used to have when I was younger called 'Criss Cross Crash', that used pretty much the same system to boost the cars along, maybe Hot Wheels have the 'If it ain't broke don't fix it' mentality.

[leokimvideo]

@theonlyadsrulz yes I chose this set because it reminded me of stuff I had when I was a kid, it was a real trip back in time with what is a classic toy of sorts, but I do see loads of sets following themes which distract from action and speed

i think I had the old gravity driven loop set way back in the 70's, I can't remember the very noisy car launching system

i like gravity as it's free..!

[Torn80cj]

@leokimvideo You might remember Snake and Mongoose then if you had a set back in the 70's. I still wished I had those 2 cars, they are high value for anyone who still has them. Something like 2000 US dollars if they are in mint condition.

[dan110024]

Nice! Is that bits/chips of paint flying off in some of the crashes?

[leokimvideo]

@dan110024 yep all the cars on the speed circuit were loads of damage

[DTChapman1]

I once had a Hot Wheels set with a load of Lopp-de-loops. I could not believe the speed they went. But like yours some cars were not happy on the circuit and either went to slw or just could not stop crashing.

[leokimvideo]

@DTChapman1 i think every kid at some point in their life had a loop set, I do remember mine was gravity powered, and the best part about that is it's free and quiet

[captainkmanOFP857]

@leokimvideo

I've never had a loop set, and I'm in my teens. I collect Matchbox, not Hot Wheels though. I'm going to do some Matchbox reviews in the near future, as the School Holidays are on!

It's great to see you doing something different. And if you're a Thunderbirds fan, and you have a Set Top Box or digital TV set, then on the channel Go at 6:00 on weekend mornings you can watch Thunderbirds. My Dad loves the show, but does not like getting up early on weekends!

[TrainzXtreme]

I know what you mean by loud! Used to drive me nuts!

[yanghao6998]

sorry, another random question, which one do you perfer the most, 2010 airport or 2010 passenger train. by the way, nice video! i liked it

[leokimvideo]

@yanghao6998 random answer. I'm completely hooked on the lego trains, I'll happily admit that..!

[jarvis1st]

@leokimvideo Leo so how did your love for trains start?

[trex1001000]

good vide i like it

[WillJill89]

wow hot wheels are also good for smash up derbies

[gothicgman]

get some flames and smoke going on gr8t video as always

[JesusBlack14]

WOW! Nice video :)

[LEGOMASTER641]

first :D and kool vid

[leokimvideo]

@LEGOMASTER641 as always well done being first, now where's the single tuber who asked me to look at hot wheels?
