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.

No wonder Mini GT is getting up there, if not already, as one of the best 64 brand - the head honcho is a passionate car guy and a visionary
this guy is clearly passionate abt model car collection n 1/64s. he understands very well what his audience wants n works hard to deliver cheap yet very realistic 1/64 model cars
Mini GT is by far the best brand of diecast I’ve ever collected. Hopefully we get some muscle cars, Ferraris, Koenigseggs, and all kinds of other cars. Keep up the good work.
Awesome interview. This content is top notch. Great insight on the backstory of MiniGT. Love MiniGT castings. Hoping to see MiniGT more easily available to the public in future.
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.

Love this guy’s enthusiasm. I also love that he mention Formula 1. Great interview by the way. I also want to say that I’m with the few that wrote that their no longer collecting certain brands in favor of Mini GT. Keep them coming Mini GT !
So that's how you look like Lamely.nice to see you.
Frankly, love everything about Mini GT. Looking forward to their further explorations in classic American cars. They're already off to a flying start with that Lincoln.

Mini gt finally getting vintage American 🇺🇸 iron I’m super stoked let hope more to come
a go-to standard of premium models if you're tired paying scalper hot wheels premium prices
Amazing stuff coming from Mini GT, can't wait to see that Subaru in production!
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.
Great job lamely,I have the mini gt supra,love it. Definitely gonna look to add a R34 when I see the variations.
I'm looking forward to the retro line of Mini GT. Not a big fan of exotic car castings but I believe Mini GT will do great on those retro castings.
Waitting for Muscle cars! :-)
Great vid! Glens clearly a passionate car guy!
I am a fan of Mini GT. I hope I can get more like the Vette GTE, F1 and the new Hyundai.

Thats very cool 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻 The model that needs to be made by MiniGt is a 1985-86 Dodge Daytona turbo Z in the same exact colors from the movie called "The Wraith" that came out in 1986. I think they could do a fantastic job 👍🏻
Wow I didn't know Shure made headphones; I used their microphones for years. very cool

This cool video mister lamley group
Im a tomica collector, but i will start collecting Mini GT now, great detailing and good prices, but im concern for every diecast maker, please minimize the factory defect for car, like some of my tomica have a defect or paint bubble even though the car is a brand new in sealed box , it is kind of a dissapoinment to have to worry everytime we open the sealed box and have that kind of worry of your diecast having a factory defect or paint bubble or paint rash, hopefully all diecast brand maker can improve their quality control 👍

Cool casting bro
If you do other videos of other people not from companies, I would suggest an interview with Mike Zarnock or Jay Leno. Just a suggestion. Also please do more of these type of videos, I would watch them along with your other videos.
I love MiniGT the quality & price is just right even cheaper than other brands.
Hope to see the Subaru with Colin Mcrae's livery!

They have tried to make Ferrari models for months. But Ferrari license is one of the hardest to get. It's not a question of "Can they do it", but "Are they allowed to do it".

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
@ivanbima5877

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
I thought it was Simon from Neebs Gaming!😁
With Glenn's passionate approach its no wonder MINI GT is so unbelievably amazing! I got into them by accident when I was sent a wrong car by an online shop, and now I am so glad that mistake was made. Its my favourite brand entirely!
Mini is just awesome... One of my favrt brand but Mini GT have to come up with more models, they have to add more car brands like Mercedes, Maserati, Tesla, Aston, Jeep etcs and have to make more models in exciting line like Audi,LR, BMW,Lambo...

Do a 1975 caprice convertible. I can guarantee the model will sell like hot cakes. It has never been made and it is a very popular land yacht.

Nope not gonna happen. Collectors got pissed when they were gonna raise the price of mains over $1. So to keep them happy they reduced part count and more plastic. Most America collectors will go for the cheaper premium before an $18 one. Mini gt is great but you can buy 3 HW premium,Aw, etc for the price of 1 mini gt.
