Recently I grabbed all eight Lambos from the Hot Wheels collection. The cars include the Urus, Countach LP500, Sesto Elemento, Estoque, Murcielago, Reventon, Reventon Roadster and Aventador. For me, the star of the bunch has to be the Countach, painted in the right shade of gloss red, all metal and with gold 5SP wheels. This piece stands out above all others at the pegs. Among a tall peg wall of Lambos (they just got hung), there were only two Countach left. So I grabbed them both. This second car will remain original red but will get Real Rider wheels. All of these cars are previous releases, so no biggie. I initially thought some of them will join the infamous ranks of the Pegwarmer Legion but I was quickly proved wrong; they all sold like hotcakes. But again the Countach, this piece makes getting the entire set worth the "expense" ($ .94 each) for me.

Which ones were left out? The 20th Anniversary Lambo comes to mind. The Diablo, the Gallardo, the Veneno, the Aventador J with its T-Top roof center smashed down between the seats by a wrecking ball (I'm kidding!)...maybe too many to remember all. But I feel none of those were "better" than the ones selected here. We've got a good representation of Lambo in this set. I am going to crack them all free and get them a shiny new car case.

By the way, now that I've started a car case of Lambos, I stopped at my local TRU and grabbed two Lambos by Majorette I had seen previously; a Gallardo and a Huracan. For some reason I really don't like these new Majorette cars. But that is just me. I'm sure a lot of collectors like them for how they look and what they are: non-mattel diecast locally available; something different. I'll review these two at a later opportunity.
