First Look: Hot Wheels Zamac Nissan Skyline H/T 2000GT-X, '70 Chevy Chevelle, and '67 Custom Mustang...
Happy to have these.
The Walmart Zamacs are a little more exclusive than maybe we think. Of course they are only exclusive to Walmart. But even then, many Walmarts get the batch that is supposed to contain the Zamacs, but they aren't there. We have already seen many people reporting N case Walmart finds, but with no Zamacs at all.
That has happened to us before. The final batch of last year's Zamacs never hit stores around here, and only one store got the batch containing the AE86 Corolla and Special Edition Camaro. We aren't complaining, because it is nice when the Zamacs are a little hard to get.
But it does make us nervous when we are anticipating a Zamac batch as much as Batch N. Of course that is no secret. There is a Skyline, and that is all that has to be said. But the Chevelle is a casting I am VERY fond of, and the Mustang is also a real looker.
Well, we are good, as I found the batch today, and all three Zamacs were there, along with a handful of green Kenmeri's. All is well here, and we hope all of you out there who hope to find them are successful as well.
Not much else to say about these, other than posting the pics. We love the Zamacs, and hope they return to Walmart in 2015. There is an enormous list of models we would love to see get the Zamac treatment, just like the Hako, a casting that gets to really show off its details in unpainted form.

Just Unveiled: Hot Wheels Batch N Zamac artwork...
A quick post for those of you who are as excited about the upcoming batch of Hot Wheels Zamacs at Walmart.
The batch will feature two of our faves, the Hakosuka Skyline and '70 Chevelle SS, as well as a pretty fine looking Mustang. To get us all hyped, Hot Wheels just released the card artwork, which is a treat itself:
Lookin' good. And when you realize that Batch N will feature another Skyline, you know we have a doozy if a batch.
We assume these will be out within the next 2-3 weeks. Get your huntin' shoes on...
Lamley Poll: What the Best Hot Wheels Zamac Exclusive so far?
There has now been 30 Walmart Zamacs released in the last two years, with still a few more to come in 2014.
These unpainted treats have proven very popular, and Hot Wheels has delivered with a great assortment of models for all types of collectors. We see classics, muscle, supercars, JDM, current cars, land yachts, pickups, and on and on. What we haven't seen, and are keeping our fingers crossed that we don't, are any non-licensed models or Hot Wheels originals.
So to us, the Zamacs have been a rousing success, and we hope Walmart and Mattel have made a deal to keep them coming in 2015.
In the meantime, we thought we would conduct a poll. Before the Nissan Skyline 2000GT-X hits in Batch N, which will be an obvious favorite for many Lamley readers, we thought we would ask.
So, below are photos of all 30 released so far, shown in numerical order as provided by Mattel. Look to your right and you will see the poll. Let is know which one is your favorite by voting. Later we will reveal your choice and ours.
This should be fun...
