Mattel Brick Shop Launches With a Build-Your-Own Hot Wheels Range​

Renowned toy manufacturer Mattel is moving in further on the plastic building block market with a new product line under the “Mattel Brick Shop” banner, launching with a range of Hot Wheels sets in various scales this summer...
 
Looks good, but will depend on the price point as always, Lego has just ridiculously high prices for some of their high end cars and also they take a freaking age to build which can get tedious 😁

I will definitely keep my eye on this.

Pretty much a $=£ conversion from the prices in the article.
 
I've been building Lego sets for years, but I've already seen some very interesting models from CaDA and Cobi.

Now this.

The Mercedes has definitely caught my attention.

Mattel / Hot Wheels has enormous potential since it has license agreement with many car manufacturers.

With video games going up in price and so many bricks to choose from, I'm going to have to ask for a raise at work.:lol:
 
Pre-Ordered, only the very bestest one <3....the NSX, looks fun!

I'd like to get a few different ones an see how they can combine, to get some really fun custom cars.
 
Big difference between these and Lego is that mattel uses mostly model specific spesial pieces to achieve the shape, where Lego uses mostly more standart pieces and more model design to achieve the familiar shapes. To me these mattel sets look more like plastic modelcars made to resemble a brick model.
 
Sooo... Mattel's UK PR team sent us a set just before Christmas and... I don't think we've done a product review on a toy before* so here we go.



*Unless you count games and game peripherals as toys, which we know some people do...
 
I'm currently in the middle of building the Audi R8 LMS.
 
I need to finish the roof and doors of the 300SL set, but it's absolutely brilliant. I'd have been happy paying full price (£140) but I got very lucky and noticed it for £68 on Boxing Day via the Asda George website. When I went back an hour later to get the link for my mate, it was sold out.

The Hot Wheels model that comes with it gets a display case and is more or less RLC level, which would be £40 on its own for members.
 
The Sport Quattro looks absolutely brilliant. Need.
 
Love my Cadillac, definitely considering some of the new ones :bowdown:
 
Picked this one up with a 53% price drop on Amazon. Had my eye on it for a while anyway.
