Episode #23 || Is RLC Broken? Fast & Furious Chases & A $700 Diecast Parking Garage
Welcome back to The Diecast Podcast — Episode 23! We’re back after the Australian Diecast Expo and there’s plenty to talk about. From the upcoming Hot Wheels RLC R32 and another RWB release, to Mini GT’s new Fast & Furious chase cars, Pop Race exclusives, Micro Turbo, OzWheels sneak peeks and some seriously impressive lowriders. And of course, Ben brings another Hidden Gem to the table — this time the incredibly detailed Bart Model 240Z. We also take a closer look at FunTech Lab’s Parksible, the app-controlled smart parking garage for 1:64 collectors. At around $700 AUD, is it an outrageous gimmick or the ultimate centrepiece for a serious collection? Proudly bought to you by COVAL Displays, your one stop shop for premium acrylic diecast displays.
