![]() The COPO Camaro is the interesting one of the lot. A solid execution all around for this little Flying Customs Luv. The orange Hot Wheels logo added to the fenders are a fitting match as well.īeing the only truck in the line makes me think it may do decent at the pegs too. The truck wears a vintage orange and black Z stripe and it follows the line of the bed just right. The Luv is the sole truck in the series, and it earns its place as it looks oh so period-correct sitting on those gold Hot Ones. It’s the only German in the release, so I’m sure the VW guys will be pumped not to see another BMW hogging the limelight. The Hot Wheels deco on the rear panels is a nice touch too. ![]() This casting comes with matching gold Hot Ones wheels, but I think it would have looked good with the silver versions as well. The Squareback is a great addition to the Flying Customs line and comes decked-out in an almost Mooneyes-ish yellow Hot Wheels livery. We’ve been graced with several notable Volkswagens since then, including the recent ID car, the radical VW T1 GTR. VWs have been hot on the Hot Wheels collectors’ radar ever since the Beach Bomb dropped in 1969. I could see the 510 and the R30 pulling up along side the Z-Whiz or 200sx at a Sto & Go Service Center, couldn’t you? They each have tasteful tampos, believable color schemes, and look like they could have been released back in the 80’s. I think both of the JDM cars are very well done. Simplicity at its best – no need for crazy tampos on this one! The gold Hot Ones wheels are icing on the cake. The midnight blue over gold graphics and black chassis is drool-worthy. The Skyline is a looker, plain and simple. The car is a solid, solid buy for the $1.29 Target has them for.īonus points for whoever can translate the text on the Datsun! The 510 also gets a cool JDM inspired racing scheme – which is the only “race” car livery of the bunch. The tangerine paint looks great on the car and contrasts the chrome Hot Ones wheels perfectly. The Datsun hype doesn’t seem to be going anywhere soon, so I’m going to guess this will be a hot seller. We’ll take a quick look at each of these models to see why they stand out from the run-of-the-mill mainline. The Flying Custom set is comprised of eight cars (listed in no particular order): So buckle-up and get ready for some retro inspired action. I was originally just going to feature the 510 and Skyline, but after mulling it over with the best minds behind Lamley, the post was expanded to include all eight cars. Once you unglue your eyes from that glorious card art, you start to appreciate the physical castings in the line. The card art was so great I had to make a “poster” out of them. The entire line-up of the first 2020 Target exclusive series, Flying Customs. While none of the castings are new, they all have awesome retro liveries, throwback Hot Ones wheels, and VINTAGE INSPIRED CARD ART! Seriously – even if I didn’t collect some of these cars I would still grab them because of the card art.
