Appreciate you man! Best comment and makes all of the hours of editing worth while for sure. Thanks for the kind words. Just working on the latest team transport set today so should have that video ready by tomorrow. Hope you’ll be back to see it. The Porsche went crazy !!!!!! :D

I only purchased the Focus, purely because of it being a Focus to add to my collection. I only concentrate on the 2016 RS (I resisted saying focussing on a Focus). I also love the fact that Mattel FINALLY seem to have realised adding tail & headlights to their premium decorated models is worth doing & not just on decorated Carculture models. It looks so much better with the blue oval & some painted rear lights. It's rare I ever collect a whole set of cars, I'm more into certain castings or a marque like Lamborghini/Ferrari/McLaren/Lotus.

A solid choice and the one I used as an example in my video at the beginning as I really like that casting too and it passes the black light vibe check. You’re a funny guy. Thanks for the awesome comment. Are you going to buy any cars from the second set? Also, I appreciate focussing your collection on the Ford focus. That’s a strong angle. Keep focussing brother and I hope you are able to afford more Ford for your collection in 2024

​​@@customcollectsSome models I've discovered are (unintentionally) good at reacting with an ultraviolet blacklight. Classic example is the 2016 mainline 2005 Ford Mustang from the Forza Horizon 4 game. The orange tinted windscreen glows like a madman under a UV lamp and I also have a yellow Chevy C10 pickup with a flame design. The orange stickers on that react well under UV. Thanks for the praise and positivity. I've been into certain cars a long time now. Found a Corgi Whizz wheels 1970 Ford Escort Rally the other day (roughly 1/64) at a crazy cheap price on Boxing Day. This toy is the same age as me (53) & been hunting a clean/tidy one most of my adult life!! £2 was all it cost me and it's around £30 on eBay for a rough scruffy version. This was the elderly grandad version of the 70 Ford Escort RS that HW make currently.

I like the 90's California Customs. They glow with the Blacklight. I like the glow in the dark vehicle's too.

Nice man! You have a really great knowledge of hot wheels, truly. Do you own a full set of the California customs? Very cool cars to have in your collection for sure. I do think the modern day community are 50/50 about them. No premiums and the 1st series had too many fantasy models. Really looking forward to a few in set 3! Appreciate the comment dude.

I’d like to say that I was amazed and surprised when my twin 8 year old granddaughters told me they wanted Hot wheels for Christmas. When I was a kid I had the motor assist raceway. I loved it and so did my brothers. Honestly I haven’t thought about Hot wheels cars in years but have definitely bought them the crash set and re started my love of the toy.
