Any Hot Wheels collectors?

[bilbo]

Good to know! I guess I meant collector value. They do have value to me; I suppose that's why we still have them. Some of the track actually belonged to my uncle, so it's a good bit older than me! I hope someday I can build track with my grandkids!

I also have a couple of boxes of Tonka trucks in the shed from when I was a kid. My brother and I did construction projects all summer long in the yard. Some of those were my Dad's, from the late 50's. They're rusty and creaky, but nary a plastic piece on them so they still get the job done.

So I've been customizing hotwheels for a while now. Here's my latest, it's a Harley Quinn "tooned" Batmobile.

I even used some "glow in the dark" paint on some of the pieces.

Got a couple of these Bronco R casts today. One will stay unopened, one will be opened and one or two may get customized.

Whelp.. it's official. I've fallen down the rabbit hole

The broncos I got awhile ago.. mustangs I got at 7/11 recently..

The holy grail/s of my collection have yet to arrive (shipping from the UK)...

Also just ordered a couple more...

Awwwww yeeeeeeeeee


Gonna have to figure out how to store/show all these damn things pretty soon, as I'm running out of space on my bookshelves and stuff.. wanna keep em all out of direct sunlight too..


Its also not a good thing that I've learned about the companies AutoArt & AutoModello... they make some extremely nice models... but... some of them cost just about as much as my Bronco payment

The first of my TopGear diecast orders showed up

Damn thing wasn't exactly packaged for a comfy trip across the Atlantic though

Anyone know how to kinda... straighten out a box? Gah. Still awesome AF.

Ordered up one of these bad boys today


I shoulda quit smoking a good while ago.. a pack a day coulda been a little model car (or two!) a day.. rather than future health problems -__-

Better late than never I suppose. When I shit the bed at 46 due to heart failure or something at least my casket can be stuffed with toys

Ah yes... I thought I saw that someone on here got one awhile ago. Wasn't in the hotwheels thread though so I gave up searching lol.

I wish matchbox made them in carbonized gray like my old truck.. the magnetic is close enough though I suppose. I might make a little ladder rack out of styrene so it looks more like mine lol
