First Look: Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive Gulf Porsche 917K, by JohnRino...

Lamley contributor and photographer extraordinaire JohnRino is back with a look at one of the stunning 4-car Hot Wheels RLC Gulf Series.

These models are amazing, and if you can find them here...

(Thanks John.)


Hello my fellow die-cast enthusiasts,

Just received the Porsche 917K, and it's going to be another exclusive piece to add to my ongoing collection.  I can only imagine what it would be like to strap yourself
in to a race car producing 620bhp and dominating the World Sportscar Championships in the early 70's. The closest I'll ever get to achieving that is this 1:64 scale version of it, and I'll let my imagination do the driving. Enjoy the pics and thanks for stopping in at The Lamley Group (a wealth of diecast pictures and information).

Respectfully,

JohnRino

Model of the Day: Daboxtoys exclusive OEM Porsche 911 Carrera S...

It has been awhile since we have shown an OEM model (It is still rather annoying there there is really no way to identify these).

The little factory that could, pushing out amazing miniatures of some amazing cars.  We have featured their Pagani, a couple of Ferraris, some Lamborghinis, and many others.  Things have been somewhat quiet of late, but they will return with a bang in a few weeks when they reveal the 6-car Ferrari F12Berlinetta set.  I think Daboxtoys is getting ready for a rush on those once they are released.

So to prepare for the F12 release, here is one of our favorite OEM models that we yet to show on the blog.  We have shown the OEM Porsche before, but this particular model was done as a Daboxtoys exclusive.  They decided to get a little creative and did the Porsche in Gulf colors.  Obviously not an official Gulf livery, but a beautiful model nonetheless.



But we don't need to say much about it.  The photos surely do the talking.

What we will say is that there are a few left for sale at Daboxtoys, and when I told owner Felix that I was going to feature this, he decided to take a little over 20% off the normal price and offer it at $12.50, which is a fantastic price for a model that is numbered at less than 300 pieces.
