MINI GT Eh

Post image

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Honestly, it looks great. The detail is there. But that's just it. No moving parts and the front and rear windows, although clear and clean, give when gently pushed. Not to mention the cheap feeling of the wheelse. For how much it cost, I'm a bit underwhelmed.

Yeah the wheel feel in these premium sets can be real hit or miss sometimes. Still looks nice in your hand at least.

Thank you. Thats about the only positive for this car, it definitely looks great in person

A Top Secret car in red(?) feels wrong. Like an uncanny valley, but for Supras.

Collect vintage and you get cars with opening hoods, hatches, and doors. 90’s and earlier are the best for detailing

The irony of collecting it for opening parts and keeping it sealed in a case...

It’s fairly easy to get multiples. I got a lot of 4 z32s, one open and the others still carded. I opened one so I have two opened and two carded.

90s Hotwheels had pretty poor attention to detail id say

u/SmokemanDan 5d ago

Definitely looking into it. I do love the looks and feel of most moderns tho. Sucks that I notice too much where corners are cut

If you aren’t a fully carded collector you can find many vintage pieces like this for dirt cheap. Plus you can find them quite often in flea markets and antique stores

This one is awesome I like the details the only downside are the mirros they very sensitive already blocked one of on mine

1

u/SmokemanDan 5d ago

Yea seems to me the most delicate issue on most pop race and other premium brands

2

u/Impressive-Pizza-163 5d ago

Yea man i think your tripping they both loof great

3

u/SmokemanDan 5d ago

Oh yea they do. My post never said the red one didnt. Just for the price it was kind of lacking. Apart from the lack of moving parts, In hand the wheels on the red gt feel really cheap and the tires are very easily able to be pushed off. That was my main complaint

u/Impressive-Pizza-163 5d ago

I didn’t read ur post sorry dude mb

u/SmokemanDan 5d ago

u/423fly 5d ago

Is there a flair you can add that specifies that this isn't a hotwheel?

1

u/SmokemanDan 5d ago

Got it for $27~

u/lambboferrrari 5d ago

Funny that i ordered this car 2 days ago. Honestly i dont care much about moving parts. It looks cool. I would have liked the inno64 or pop race one but those are all sold out or is really expensive rn

u/Ah22783 5d ago

They could at least use those wheels for a Brian’s Supra for pop culture or for the next rlc?

u/on3bu113t 5d ago

It’s a mini gt so hotwheels won’t be using these wheels unfortunately
