New Hot Wheels Building Sets For Collectors And Car Enthusiasts Are Back In Stock At Amazon

Hot Wheels isn’t just for kids any more. In August 2025, Mattel expanded the world of miniature cars with the debut of Brick Shop — a series of premium Hot Wheels building sets that combine the joy of brick‑built models with the authenticity of die‑cast vehicles. Preorders sold out almost immediately, leaving collectors scrambling for a second chance. This week Amazon quietly restocked several of the most anticipated kits, meaning gearheads and model‑builders can finally get their hands on these intricate sets.

Brick Shop: Lego‑style Kits With Collector Appeal

Brick Shop sets are Mattel’s answer to Lego’s Speed Champions and Mega Bloks. Each kit uses a variety of brick sizes to create detailed replicas of classic, luxury and race cars. Unlike the more playful Mega Bloks designs aimed at kids, Brick Shop kits were designed specifically for collectors and car enthusiasts. Compatible with Lego and Mega Bloks, the bricks allow you to integrate your new cars into existing dioramas. Each model includes interactive features, customizable components and a 1:64‑scale die‑cast Hot Wheels car — a miniature version of the completed build. That metal car sits on a display plate when you’re done building, showcasing the partnership between die‑cast and brick.

Back in Stock After Selling Out

Mattel opened preorders for the first wave of Brick Shop sets in May and officially released them on August 1. With collectors snapping up the kits, they quickly sold out at major retailers. As of mid‑September, Amazon has restocked four of the seven models in the initial line, including the flagship Mercedes‑Benz 300 SL, Corvette Grand Sport, Cadillac Project GTP Hypercar and Maserati MC20. The remaining three — a ’90 Acura NSX, a Custom ’62 Chevy Pickup and a Custom ’68 Camaro — are only available at select retailers and remain sold out. The restock gives collectors a rare opportunity to secure these sets without paying aftermarket prices.

Premium Series: Mercedes‑Benz 300 SL

The Premium Series represents the top tier of the Brick Shop lineup. Currently it includes just one set: the luxurious Mercedes‑Benz 300 SL, a 1,600‑piece build that produces a 1:12‑scale model. Metal components like the iconic Mercedes crest and two sets of wheel covers add realism, and the gull‑wing doors, upholstered seats and opening hood reveal a replica engine. You also get decals, a spare tire and a metal display plate. Amazon’s current price is $115.31, down from the $130 launch price.

Why it’s special

Collectors love the 300 SL for its sheer scale and the inclusion of metal parts. At 1:12 scale, it’s roughly the same size as many premium die‑cast models, yet you assemble it yourself. The gull‑wing doors add flair, and the two sets of wheel covers (chrome and color‑matched) let you tailor the look. The included die‑cast car means you get both a display piece and a playable miniature.

Elite Series: Corvette Grand Sport and ’90 Acura NSX

The Elite Series offers more accessible builds that still include metal components and interactive features. Two key models head this tier:

• Corvette Grand Sport (918 pieces) – This 1:16‑scale replica has metallic exhaust pipes, an opening hood that exposes a detailed engine, and doors that swing open. The steering wheel actually turns the front wheels for extra realism, and the set includes extra metal wheel covers and decals. It’s currently available at Amazon for $54.
• ’90 Acura NSX (876 pieces) – Although still sold out, this kit is worth mentioning because it recreates the NSX’s iconic pop‑up headlights. It also features a functioning steering wheel and swappable license plates, allowing builders to choose between Acura or Honda badging.

Speed Series: Affordable Customization

Mattel’s Speed Series targets enthusiasts who want a budget‑friendly build. Each kit costs around $20 and comes with roughly 250–300 pieces. The smaller size produces a 1:32‑scale car that’s still detailed and customizable. Current Speed Series models include:

• Cadillac Project GTP Hypercar (236 pieces) – This sleek racer boasts bold graphics and an aerodynamic profile. Two pairs of wheel covers (chrome and gold) and a sheet of decals let you personalize the look. The kit comes with a 1:64‑scale die‑cast car and a metal display plate.
• Maserati MC20 (250 pieces) – An Italian supercar with butterfly doors and a visible motor. Interchangeable black and chrome wheel covers and racing decals allow for customization. It includes the standard die‑cast car and metal plate.
• Custom ’68 Camaro (289 pieces) – Although sold out until October, this old‑school muscle car features eye‑catching stripes, metallic exhaust pipes and a wide stance. It also includes two sets of wheel covers and the familiar 1:64‑scale car and plate.
• Custom ’62 Chevy Pickup (858 pieces) – Another sold‑out set, this pickup offers an exposed engine, adjustable suspension and even a surfboard in the bed. It’s a fun departure from the race cars in the line.

How they compare to other brick systems

The Brick Shop Speed Series fills a niche between playful kids’ sets and high‑end collector models. At around $20, they provide a satisfying build experience without breaking the bank. The inclusion of metal components sets them apart from Lego’s budget kits, and the die‑cast car bridges the gap between display and play. Compatible pieces mean you can integrate them into existing Lego displays or dioramas.

Tips for Collectors and Car Enthusiasts

1. Check stock frequently. Amazon currently has the Mercedes‑Benz 300 SL, Corvette Grand Sport, Cadillac Project GTP Hypercar and Maserati MC20 in stock. The other three models are sold out and available only through specific retailers, so turn on notifications or join waiting lists if you’re interested.
2. Consider scale. Premium Series models are 1:12 scale, Elite Series are 1:16, and Speed Series are 1:32. Choose based on display space and desired level of detail.
3. Personalize your build. Each kit includes multiple sets of wheel covers and decals. Don’t be afraid to mix and match colors or combine pieces from other brick systems.
4. Keep the die‑cast car safe. The included 1:64 metal car is a nice bonus. Use the provided metal plate for display or integrate it into your Hot Wheels track.

Why These Sets Matter

The Hot Wheels Brick Shop collection marks a new chapter for the brand. It brings together the satisfying tactile experience of building with bricks and the nostalgia of collecting die‑cast cars. For collectors, the authentic designs and metal parts make these models worthy of display. For car enthusiasts, the detailed engines, functioning steering and customizable components offer a deeper appreciation for automotive design. Even younger builders can enjoy the more affordable Speed Series kits, which offer a gateway into both brick building and Hot Wheels collecting.

With only four of the seven models currently in stock at Amazon, now is the best time to secure these sets before they disappear again. The Premium Series Mercedes‑Benz 300 SL is a centerpiece that any car lover will be proud to display. The Corvette Grand Sport delivers interactive features at a more manageable size, while the Cadillac Project GTP Hypercar and Maserati MC20 offer fun, affordable builds with lots of customization options. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting your Hot Wheels journey, the Brick Shop sets provide a unique blend of craftsmanship and playability that’s hard to resist.
