    I stopped buying premium hot wheels so I can load up on Mini GT. They're doing things right 👌

    Stopped buying Premium Hot Wheels too, MiniGT is awesome and in the same price range,,also like Schuco Edition 64, most ERA Car and BM Creation. I like to collect Greenlight and Auto World too. 🙂

    Same, my Hot Wheels premium purchasing stopped last year because of MiniGT. Far more superior detail, and very progressive ideas. HW is stagnant.

    Same here. In my country you can't see Hot Wheels hanged in the shelves because of scalpers, and for me it was either spend double for one car, or buy the whole series, which is what I ended up doing because I wouldn't be supporting the scalpers in any way. MINI GTs were a bit more expensive than HW Premium, but the proportions, the details, the quality, everything was far superior, so I stopped buying Hot Wheels. More expensive, yes. Worth it? Absolutely! I have over 80 now, and my collection keeps growing every week.

    MINI GT is coming very strong, I see more and more people getting into this brand, some buy just a few, and others migrated their collection to this and other similar premium brands. They have potential, and they have a future, and I'm glad I'm part of the beginning of their history.

    I love to hear that the look comes first in Mini GT's design philosophy, not the functionality. Since I'm not driving any of the 1:64 die-cast cars, so I want them to satisfy my view first before knowing whether their doors/hoods can open or not.

    No wonder more people are abandoning hotwheels premium. At the same time Minigt must seriously improve QA . My first three eager purchases from Minigt all have one defect or the other - jammed wheels, contaminated paint, glue marks, paint stains and distorted headlights. Remember we pay around $15 for these, so it's a serious concern

    I think the main reason why people abandoning Hot Wheels Premium is because Mini GT offer better bang for the buck. At some places/countries, HW Premium sells for 9 USD at retail. At the same time, they could get a Mini GT by adding a couple of bucks more & ended up with superior details
