Mattel debuted an 833-piece Brick Shop model of the 1971 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, marking its first collaboration with Nissan. The set is scheduled to reach major retailers in January 2027 for $59.99 and includes a 1:64 die-cast car.
The set reproduces the Skyline in red-and-white racing livery and includes working features: steering, doors that open and a front hood that lifts to show a detailed engine. Mattel says builders can personalize the model with decals and interchangeable wheel covers. A Hot Wheels-branded metal plate is included for display.
The package also comes with a matching 1:64 die-cast car, which Mattel says is available exclusively in this set. The larger build is at 1:16 scale and contains 833 pieces. The company’s announcement gives the price as $59.99 and the planned retail date as January 2027.
The model made its debut at the 2026 Paris Motor Show in France. Mattel’s announcement describes it as the first Brick Shop collaboration with Nissan. The source material does not give a specific day during January for store availability or name individual retail partners.
A New Nissan for Brick Shop
The announcement brings a well-known Japanese performance car into Mattel’s Hot Wheels building-set lineup and marks the range’s first Nissan partnership. For collectors, the set combines a larger build with an included die-cast version of the same car; for builders, its opening doors, steering and lift-up hood add moving details beyond display alone.
The release is still months away: the stated retail window is January 2027. The $59.99 price and announced features give prospective buyers concrete information now, while availability at particular stores and any regional differences have not been specified in the source report.

From Skyline to Show Floor
The 1971 Skyline 2000GT-R is identified in the announcement by its nickname, “Hakosuka.” Mattel’s model is presented in red-and-white racing colors and scaled to 1:16. Those details connect the build to the full-size car’s racing identity, while the small metal display plate and companion die-cast position the package for both building and collecting.
The Paris Motor Show debut precedes the planned retail launch by several months. The announcement describes the set as the first collaboration between Mattel Brick Shop and Nissan; it does not provide further details about the partnership or any other Nissan products under consideration.
