Episode #11 || RLC Returns, Pink Porsche Rumours & Motorhelix did WHAT!?

In Episode 11 of The Diecast Podcast, Matt (@minicarrealm) and Ben (@boyracerben) dive into one of the biggest weeks of diecast chatter we’ve had in a while. After a brief come down from last episode’s visit from Lee (@this_is_my_diecast_life), the boys get straight into the latest waves of Hot Wheels news, RLC reveals, and premium-brand surprises.

This episode covers:

🔥 Hot Wheels RLC Updates

• The Pagani Huayra R rerelease in silver — worth the pickup or too soon after the last two?
• Rumours circling a Spectraflame pink RWB Porsche, with talk of potential RLC chase variants becoming the new normal.
• The upcoming Subaru WRX 22B in gunmetal grey, and how non‑Spectraflame colours actually suit JDM castings better.

🏁 Selections Series Drama
