Like many of you, the majority of my casting collections don\u2019t start with the\u00a0#First Edition<\/a>\u00a0release. I mean, it\u2019s not much of a collection to begin with unless multiple variants are released right off the bat. My affinity for the Hot Wheels\u00a0#Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4<\/a>\u00a0began in 2018 with the \u201cMiura Homage\u201d release as part of the 2018 HW Exotics series in the mainline that year. The homage paint scheme in red and gold really stood out to me, and there was no missing the super\u00a0#Treasure Hunt<\/a>\u00a0variation.<\/p>\n

From there, a new colorway in blue was released a couple months later as a store exclusive for one of the last Kmart Collector Events. All three were a must-have unbeknownst to me. I found myself looking up past releases and noticed that another store exclusive was getting harder\u00a0(and pricier)<\/em>\u00a0to find: the 2012 Kroger exclusive in yellow. It came in a pillow bag as part of the 2012 Super Speeders \u2014 a\u00a0#Kroger Exclusive<\/a>\u00a012-car Mystery set \u2014 that really wasn\u2019t sought out by collectors at the time.<\/p>\n

In 2019, I was fortunate to get my hands on a couple of the seemingly rare Gumball 3000 release \u2014 direct from the UK. These were later sold on HWC in super limited quantities, and I recall not even being able to get one. The digitally-printed Gumball 3000\u00a0 camouflage pattern is a rather unique look for any vehicle \u2014 let alone an exotic \u2014 and it certainly stands out in the collection. What makes this car even cooler is that\u00a0it is a replica of the 2016 Gumball 3000 winner<\/a>, a car driven by Dutch DJ, Afrojack.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0#Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4<\/a>\u00a0appreciation train kept rolling in 2020 as the casting saw its first two premium releases. Earlier in the year, we saw it released in\u00a0#Replica Entertainment<\/a>\u00a0as Bruce Wayne\u2019s Lamborghini from the Dark Knight saga (#Batman<\/a>). The casting finally received the rear detailing it deserved, but it wasn\u2019t long before it was outdone by the\u00a0#Fast & Furious<\/a>\u00a0release in black. These are the only two releases of the casting in premium (with metal base) thus far. Something tells me there are more premium releases of this casting on the horizon.<\/p>\n

Somewhere in 2020, I committed mentally that I would build a\u00a0#Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4<\/a>\u00a0casting collection. The first logical step was for me to see what prior releases I had, and make a note of which ones I needed to go back and find. I had bought a case of the 2016 Gran Turismo series from a hobby dealer so I knew I had the orange one from that series. Then, I recalled purchasing the black one from the 2017 Lamborghini themed assortment \u2014 because it \u201cseemed like a car Batman would drive\u201d. During that time, Hot Wheels released the Police variant as a\u00a0#Walmart Exclusive<\/a>, and I knew the \u201cDubai-style\u201d Aventador was a shoo-in for the collection.<\/p>\n

From there, it was time to go back and get all the releases of the\u00a0#Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4<\/a>\u00a0that I was missing. The casting was introduced in the\u00a0#2012 New Models<\/a>\u00a0so there was a little bit of backtracking to do. That release came in orange and in silver and what I noticed is that they were starting to rise in demand \u2014 like most\u00a0#First Editions<\/a>\u00a0tend to do when affinity for the casting grows.<\/p>\n

In 2013, the\u00a0#Aventador<\/a>\u00a0was released in matte white and matte black. Honestly, they were rather forgettable releases at the time, but looking back at them, these \u201cclose-to-stock\u201d releases are nice assets to any casting collection. Plus, I always love when Hot Wheels does inverted\/complimenting color schemes.<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, the hardest to track down out of all the variants were the two HW Exotics 5-Pack releases in orange (2016) and lime (2014). 5-Packs are never hard to find \u2014 maybe at first, but they all end up warming the pegs at some point. I remember passing by these time and time again because there were no castings I collected in them. Apparently, the same went for other collectors as there aren\u2019t a lot out there to buy. Maybe it\u2019s a 5-Pack thing, as there isn\u2019t much money to be made on them, but interest in these two appears to be accumulating. Finding these loose was a little easier, but the majority seemed to have wear in the form of paint chips, or the wheel color had started coming off. Either way, I paid more than I would have liked but was able to find both nestled in their original packaging so I didn\u2019t have to worry about the condition when they arrived.<\/p>\n

In all, there have been 16 variants of the\u00a0#Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4<\/a>\u00a0over the last 10 model years. As I alluded to earlier, it seems likely that this one is destined for lots of use in the years to come as it can run at the basic level and in premium lines. It\u2019s one of my favorite\u00a0#Lamborghinis<\/a>\u00a0as it is the only one I collect \u2014 for now.<\/p>\n
