Mattel has released information on the upcoming NFT Garage release, and we will be giving you a quick rundown on how to participate and which cars you will be looking to grab in this exciting new drop.
The Mattel Hot Wheels NFT Garage Series 8 release will bring 60 new digital NFT collectibles to the program, but only six will give you a redeemable vehicle. We will take a look at each one individually later. There is still some confusion on how the NFT garage drops work so that we will go through a quick rundown. On the release day, you can purchase two different NFT packs just as you would any other item on the Mattel Creations site. The only requirement is having a Mattel Creations account (not an RLC membership). The basic pack will cost $25 per pack, giving you seven digital collectibles. In these packs, there is around a 30% chance of getting a redeemable Super Rare card and around a 4% chance of getting the Ultra Rare. The Premium Pack will cost $80 and is guaranteed to contain 1 Super Rare redeemable NFT while having around a 40% chance of containing the Premium Pack Exclusive ZAMAC NFT. Both packs should be limited to 8 per account. While the redeemable cars are amazing, the drop has one more important rarity type. The showroom rarity Lamborghini Countach LP 5000 QV looks great in all white, and while we’d love to see a real car released, however, that won’t be happening. The Showroom Exclusive will be needed to complete the Series 8 NFT set. The showroom car will only be available in Standard packs. Now that the formalities are out of the way let’s take a look at some redeemable vehicles.
The first Super Rare cars we will be looking at is the ’84 Audi Sport Quattro. The car looks to come in a Spectrflame Navy Blue and features white rims. The car also features Hot Wheels NFT Garage branding on the windshield, and Audi rings on the side. We expect this car to perform the best out of the Super Rare Cars. The next best car to look for is the black ’69 Chevy Camaro. The black-on-black aesthetic of this car is an easy sell, and we could see this also doing very well. The car also features Hot Wheels Radial Tire white lettering on the tires which give a bit of a classic look.
The next Super to look for will be the ’64 Lincoln Continental. This car comes in a nice Bronze paint with what looks like a tan top, although it is hard to tell. The car also features white wall tires with black rims and some black flame graphics on the paint. This car has a great mix of old-school luxury and hot rod aesthetics. The last of the Super Rares, possibly the least of the bunch, is the ’72 Plymouth Cuda FC. This car has a nice green paint scheme with a black tail section. The car appears to have a drag aesthetic with large back wheels and smaller front tires. The side exhaust on this car is a nice touch, and the HWNFTG across the front splitter adds some uniqueness. However, we expect this car to perform slightly worse than its Super brothers.
The final two cars of the set will be the more exclusive cars. The ZAMAC McLaren 720 S features a paintless body with McLaren graphics. The car also features black rims with an orange/red line around them. We expect this car to do fairly well mostly because it’ll cost you a minimum of $80 to obtain. The final car and hardest redeemable will be the Nissan Fairlady Z. This car comes in a dark red paint scheme with white and black graphics. An NFTH logo can be seen on the side. The grey rims also look very nice. We expect this car to perform very well, much like previous Treasure Hunt NFTs before it. The production limits for the NFT series are as follows: ’84 Audi Quattro 4300pcs, ’69 Chevy Camaro 4300pcs, ’64 Lincoln Continental 4300pcs, ’72 Plymouth Cuda FC 4300pcs, ZAMAC McLaren 720 S 3600pcs, Nissan Fairlady Z 1800pcs, Showroom Lamborghini 320pcs. That’s a wrap on the redeemable NFTs releasing on April 18th. Will you be going for any of these exclusive cars? Let us know which is your favorite!
