Hot Wheels PREMIUM Team Transport Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R LBWK + Fleet Flyer

The Hot Wheels Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R LBWK + Fleet Flyer (catalog number HRV45) is a 1:64 scale two-piece collectible set from the Hot Wheels Car Culture: Team Transport series, labeled as #69. The set pairs a classic Skyline featuring a Liberty Walk widebody kit with a matching transport truck and is aimed at adult collectors, fans of the Japanese tuning scene, and enthusiasts of the premium line.

The Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R LBWK casting was designed by Ryu Asada and debuted in 2022 in the HW J-Imports series. The casting replicates a specific vehicle—a C110-body Nissan Skyline GT-R with a Liberty Walk widebody kit owned by the company's founder, Wataru Kato. Structurally, it is based on the Nissan Skyline H/T 2000GT-R casting by Jun Imai, with which it shares interior and chassis details; however, it features a slightly smaller rear window and a different body and base construction, meaning parts from the two castings are not interchangeable. In the 2024 HRV45 set, the car comes in Sky Blue, with detailed headlights and taillights, yellow "LB★ワークス" lettering on the windshield, black wheel arches, door handles, and fuel cap, and "Liberty Walk" lettering on the rear fender. The chassis is black metal, the windows are lightly tinted, the interior is black, and the model rolls on black MiniC4SP wheels—classic four-spoke Real Riders rims with rubber tires. The accompanying Fleet Flyer truck, a Mark Jones casting inspired by the DAF F218 series with opening rear doors, is also in Sky Blue, featuring "LBWK," "LIBERTY WALK," and "LB★PERFORMANCE" lettering, the Liberty Walk logo on the sides, yellow "LB★ワークス" on the windshield, black trim, and detailed headlights and taillights. It features a black metal chassis, lightly tinted windows, a black interior, and BRR6SPM wheels with rubber tires. Both vehicles were manufactured in Thailand.

The set was created in collaboration with Liberty Walk, a Japanese tuning company founded by Wataru Kato, known worldwide for its radical, riveted widebody kits applied to sports cars and supercars. The LBWK logos and the "LB★ワークス" katakana lettering appear on both the car and the truck, ensuring the set forms a cohesive team in the brand’s livery.

The prototype is the C110-body Nissan Skyline GT-R, known among fans as the "Kenmeri" and produced in 1973. It was powered by a naturally aspirated, 2.0-liter, straight-six S20 engine with dual overhead cams, producing 160 hp and driving the rear wheels. Due to the oil crisis, only 197 units were produced, making this version the rarest GT-R in history and the last one before a sixteen-year hiatus in the model's production.

The collectible value of this set stems from the limited production runs of Team Transport, the licensed Liberty Walk livery, and the immense popularity of both the iconic Kenmeri and the LBWK brand itself among collectors of Japanese die-cast cars.
