[WheelWhore]

Searched with no results.

Any collectors in here?

I started collecting back last year. Mainly looking for Hondas/Nissans and any Treasure Hunts.

Here's todays find:

I have a few hundred hotwheels
Several dozen 1/18 from Hotwheels, Maisto, Sunstates and a couple of other companies.
I will find pics and share sometime soon

If you want some good Nissan die-cast models, try Kyosho.
https://www.kyosho.com/eng/products/diecast/

Their attention to detail is amazing. The headlights flip up, the seats move, and all that stuff.

Also look up Bburago.
As a kid I used to have a bunch of their models.
http://www.bburago.com

This one in black was probably the best one I had. I wonder where it is now.

Nice! I have about a hundred of random Hot Wheels in packages...probably nothing special tho. :( just old ones and new.

[simmode1]

Zilvias ability to find stupid shit to spend your money on never ceases to amaze me.

With that said... I do have an S13 Siliva and AE86 Hotwheels around here somewhere. I'll try to dig them up...

[sw20>>s14]

Waaaaaay too many from the early 90's until now. I love them, but HWs don't display well packaged and take up so much god damn space.

OP - quit hoarding and leave some for the kids, yeah? :Ownedd:

Yes, because spending on 25 year old cars that will never be worth the cash we put in them is SOUND investing, lol.

I love my models, I really do.

[1990 240sx Rb25]

U looking for any fast and the furious ones I have over 30 of them I want to sell

[AFSil80]

I usually only buy ones after the cars I like in real life, usually haha. I did manage to find the #38 Champion Racing Porsche GT-1 at a collector store near my fiance's parents house. It's not a Treasure Hunt or anything, but I like their livery cars.

http://www.southtexasdiecast.com/hwguide/images/2000/2000_250.jpg

[g35gabby]

have a few skylines, Datsuns, RX7s, ect. Things I enjoy in real life. Have some bigger 1/8th scale too, but mostly just cheap entertainment when we are wondering target or w/e.

As far as hobbies go, something that costs $0.97 every now and again isn't bad. the 510s and R32s are by far my favorite.

[smokescreen240]

my only one. i just bought it Tuesday.

[illvialuver]

I think kyosho can stay out of this and so can 1:18, I would keep this stuff to 1:64 scale. Because there is already a model collectable car thread from back in the day, that mainly dealt with larger scale cars. I have a few thousand hotwheels, and they are mostly Nissans, jdm and muscle cars, very few cars are not real cars, unless you count the hommer and the snoopy car ect.

If you dont know check out lamelygroup blog.

[VROOOM]

my mom works for Mattel, i have a bunch of pretty rare ones she brings home from work. i even have a 1969 Don Prudhomme racing Hot Wheels still in the package. also a bunch from the Toy Fairs my mom used to go to in new york.

ill take pictures tonight

[WheelWhore]

^lucky.


I dont do the made up cars. I like to keep it to the real ones. I have the cartoon ones though like:

Flintstones
Simpsons Car
Jetsons Car
etc etc

I wish my mom worked at matel.

I picked these up last week...

If you're speaking of the Hover Mode Delorean, I still have 4 that I am willing to sell to reasonable offers.
I HAD one extra 180SX (they have been ELUSIVE), but someone paid me for it last night and I will ship tomorrow.

[Phlip]

The 2016 models hit stores last Tuesday night/Wednesday morning ahead of the holiday shopping rush. I stopped by Wal Mart Wednesday afternoon for something completely different and wound up with like 15 new ones.
My Flickr album has been updated accordingly:

Great hobby. I used to collect these in my childhood. Now I am involve in rc car hobby.

Found this one at an Autozone not too long ago.

[dizzariot]

I used to collect full series' when I was a kid. Now I just look for cool Japanese or classic cars.

I must say, however, that this fucking trend of capitalizing on HotWheels collectors is fucking disgusting. I hate it when I go to a local Target to look for the Kaido House Z and there are absolutely ZERO...then I go on IG and see that some middle-aged man hounded the kid in the toy department to bring out the boxes so he could raid them for all of the cool cars. Buys 20 Datsuns for ~$30 and then sells them for 5 times their original price. Total crock of shit.

Before you say that's just the 'game' or 'the early bird gets the worm' I'd like to let you know I disagree. I'm not religious but I'm pretty sure greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. That's all this is: greed. The same can be said about the guys that buy Japanese parts from Jesse Streeter and then turn them for a huge profit.

I finally found a Redline '72 Skyline at Autozone of all places.

I ended up finding two 180SXs in the wild (NEX and a random CVS) after I purchased one on eBay for $5 :picardfp:

I capitalize, but only on what I find in the wild. I don't hound anyone to open the boxes in the back at all, I keep my treasure hunts to myself and don't mind spending a Saturday in 3-5 different stores looking. For that, you can bet your ass I bought 4 of that 180SX and made 20ish bucks on the three I didn't keep. Made a bit on the Hover Mode Delorean too, still have 3 left.
I intend to do the same with this year's 180SX and the Fairlady Z.

Agree to disagree, I suppose. I only buy what I need. Opening the boxes up before they even get to the shelves is unforgivable, though. Those guys are total cunts. I have NEVER seen a Datsun 510 Wagon in the wild due to all the IG cunts in the San Diego area.

How much are you selling the Deloreans for?

[Green Arrow]

You gonna buy the Deloreans to keep Dizzariot, or do you plan on flipping a few?
If the latter.....you'll contradict your thread about collectors...lol
I only had hand-me-down hot wheels, and I handed them down again.
My favorite was the diablo, but meh...

I keep all my Super Treasure Hunts/JDM/4x4 stuff and only sell off the rest to help fund my hobby. I usually sell them for $1-2 markup and actual shipping costs.

Dizza, if there is one your looking for lmk. I dont mind snagging and shipping for cost.

I have found that y'all get different stuff in CA than I get here in NC. Usually everything I sell I do through FB and simply take reasonable offers, I just moved one of the Deloreans for $5 shipped, just enough to make it worth my time.

[Phlip]

Like I was saying, I know I will find stuff looking around and someone may need it.

https://farm1.staticflickr.com/727/23204335723_1631bf856d_z.jpg
All of these will be in the "available" box for sale/trade for someone in need.

I'll take a Delorean (hover mode) for that price. How much to add a Kaido House Z? I've checked the three Super Targets in San Diego and the only ones I've seen with the holiday cards (snowflakes) were a Lamborghini Urus and some made-up, ugly thing.

I guess I can do them both for like 8 bucks shipped, I have three Fairladies to move.

I only found three in stores, two have been long sold and one is in a box it might never escape from.

I come across quite a few 180sxs in the wild. I sold all my Fairladys and have 2 Porsche Outlaws left.

Damn... I used to play with these as a kid and thought nothing of them. Then I moved to r/c nitro cars and trucks, but it seems as if I need to venture back into this hobby.

[1988montecarloss]

still have probably 4-500 90's/early 2000's at my parents house from when i was a kid covered in probably 1/2 an inch of dust ,but other than that i only have a dozen or so versions of cars i like/own in real life (s-chassis, rwd monte carlos, hondas) and i have the two different versions of the delorean time machine. i did just pick up a red 180sx though and would like to find a greddy version when they come out.

are the boso style cars that were out awhile back the kaido racer z a few of you guys have talked about?

[crzsteveo]

I think hot wheels has a line called mount fuji I think? I forgot the term but they had a hiace van I believe and a r34

[onehundredoctane]

Where you finding those Fairlady Zs at Phlip?

I've started collecting for my 15 month old son so he will have a nice collection. I don't really subscribe to the whole "fantasy" car thing, I like the production cars personally.

Personally, I've always like a Porsche, classic designs and easy to pick out in a crowd, I usually buy every Porsche I see on the shelf.

My dad has two Chevy C-10s, I'm thinking about getting this one out of the package and stripping the paint off, painting it to match one of his, then seal it back up and it'll look like it came that way :)

I love the Porsches.

I managed to find 6 minty Kaido Z's the other day along with a 917k Porsche.

Still hunting down the Yellow Texas Drive Em.

[onehundredoctane]

First S30s I have found, love these so much I may wait until I have a few more to strip one down and custom paint myself.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1696/24384901965_52af74bc96_c.jpg

Also came across this, a blank NSX card, why did it have to be a white one? I have every color NSX but white! Oddly there was no glue residue and the card wasn't torn? But I'm still suspecting someone stole it.
https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1458/24089308960_b391515b3e_c.jpg

SCORE! I grabbed all of these I found. Def stripping one down to paint since I got so many.

[DUFFM4N]

I just moved one of the Deloreans for $5 shipped, just enough to make it worth my time.

which I greatly appreciate, even though I found another one literally an hour after sending you payment :keke:. And that was the first time I ever bought one from somewhere other than Target/Walmart etc etc...

I only buy what I see/like when I come across it.

I have yet to (thank god):
-go on forums
-buy from ebay
-download the app to scan them
-look up/learn the difference between different types of series/collections

So I consider myself very "new" to this hobby still, and thank god it hasn't cost me too much (yet)

[WheelWhore]

^Most costly thing is time. I have so much time vested in hunting for certain models.

Actually about to purge a large portion of my collection soon.

Felipe, is that the one you got from me?
Know that I have the black AND white Greddy ones ready to move if you need them.

The new series should be hitting stores any second now.
I got the 8-piece Star Wars, Super Mario Brothers and Ghostbusters sets recently, plus at least 10 I haven't even brought in out of the car yet.

[WheelWhore]

I think the only Z32 wa smade back in the 90's. Early part. Its on card 234.

The S14, nothing when googled.

I did find a $TH the other night though.

I think I have only scored one super in the last 4-5 years.
Of all places, it was at a damned Dollar General when they were having a buy-1-get-2 sale. So I paid $0.44 for a damned STH. I initially left it there, realized what it was and SPED back to the store for it.

No matter where we are, no matter HOW far from home we go, she ALWAYS needs to go to a Wal Mart for something. When we do, I beeline right for the toys section.
Last year we went on a cruise from Mobile, AL and there was a Toys R Us right behind our hotel we stayed in the night before leaving. I went for a "walk," spent like $15 on Hot Wheels and didn't see them until we got back off the boat to drive home, lol.

You've walked through that door at least four times, lol.
The "thing" I did involved consolidating the hundreds of loose cars in the house into that bin and one other with the minisets in it.
She comes home from work while I am doing it a couple weeks ago, on the phone when she walks in, stops and asks "HOW many is that?"
"uhhh... this layer is, um ten per row, six rows wide, so sixty. I think I am about 6 layers deep on top of another couple hundred on the bottom, so--... oh gaaaawdammit, I've gone crosseyed."
She tells her coworker "he's like a giant child!" and walks on past the kitchen.

Before I came to Japan I went through my storage. I have collections in there from 07ish and on. I wonder if they're worth anything now.

I just ordered the Japan Historics 2 and got them in along with some other Japanese cars (Advan 180SX, FD variants, R33, etc) and it's funny how Tomica has LESS cool cars than Hot Wheels now. Jun Imai has been super busy with the fan service as of late. Kind of wish he'd drop a non-G-Nose/flared Datsun.

Tomica only has one S13 car I'm aware of: the Initial D one and it's not even a Premium Tomica :/

How do y'all feel about the dudes going to stores and asking to open up boxes? Seems pretty lame to me. I've resorted to eBay.

[jimcfl]

I've had this one around for a while, not sure where it even came from:

http://the-crates.net/images/S13_Parts/IMG_7569.JPG

If anyone wants it, make me an offer, my red S13 hatch is gone and this one should go too. The hood, hatch and doors open.

[Benfica7]

The day Japan Historics 2 was released, I went to Target and there were none on the pegs. I asked the kid working the toy department to scan the bar code on my phone for Car Culture, there was 1 in stock and came back from the back room with an unopened box of JH2. I bought the 2 sets in the box. Nothing wrong with asking for some assistance instead of opening stuff without permission.

I have yet to find a set of Cargo Carriers yet. I would only be interested in the Skyline Wagon anyway...

I mean the guys that raid for Treasure Hunts. I think you're talking about asking if they have some in the back which is totally cool. A lot of IG dudes talk about how they ask to open boxes and then they take out all the Treasure Hunts so they can flip them. I've only ever found one at a CVS in a shitty spot because of this.

Yeah it kind of turned me off to it. Japanese people don't really do it but for some reason it seems like their entire selection is the 'made-up' cars and never really 'real-life' cars. I have better luck checking the NEX when I stop by for a quick errand. Got a couple of Datsuns and a small card 180SX.

eBay is good if you're okay with paying $2.00 for something you really want.

I'll post some pictures of the Premium Tomicas if y'all are interested. Lightyears better than the regular ones...but they're like $7.00.

People who hoard them and ask to get to boxes even before they are put on the pegs suck!

TH's are usually the fantasy castings and I recently hit a walk-mart dump bin with 4-5 of the same case and all of the regular TH's of the Rrrrrroadster I left in a pile. They aren't worth what people think. The Super TH's are the one's at least to keep.

How do y'all feel about the dudes going to stores and asking to open up boxes? Seems pretty lame to me. I've resorted to eBay.

I hate it. I work, i have maybe Fri after work or Sat after work to find anything. and its bare central by then by people who wait at doors right when they open to take everything.

its unfair advantage to those who collect for nastolgia sake. i collect mainly jdm cars, porsches and some exotics. anything american I collected for my pops and now im getting rid of cuz he doesnt care about em.

i typically collect 2 to keep. one kept in its package. one to open. my goal is to get my own place and line a wall, simple.

if i end up with more its because fam know my obsession and they will get me something that may interest me.

this i have no issue with, your buying the whole box, handle and enjoy. its when they nit pit specific ones, mainly TH for value and cause issues with the store when they trash shit.

personal view, I think its garbage. especially when they own a business is to re trade and mark up these things up. Just be and adult and get em like a business should, stop screwing collecters that collect to collect. unfortunately its like this with any hobby dealing with collections.

it sucks now especially since they are bringing JP cars mainstream and frankly thats all i collect...

even still I dont take everything when I do see it, I dont see the point.

It sucks when you are limited on time is all.

[Phlip]

Yeah, one of my friends used to work at Wal Mart and said people show up SOON as the store opens on Thursdays and ask to go through the box. Said one manager would generally turn them down but one was passive as fuck and let them, and that created a monster.
The manager who was against it had heard of how it goes; letting some neckbeard fuckstick raid a case of hotwheels to MAYBE make one purchase is not worth it. It sucks to other collectors who have lives and won't see them until they're on eBay for $50.

I picked up the Looney Tunes miniset in a KMart in the outer banks a month ago and the Avengers mini set last weekend.
I may go searching this week/end to see what I can find. My mom called me and needed me when I was on my way out to do so this afternoon.

NY experience has always been opposite. TRU always had unwanted crap and charged more for it.
I just noticed there is a Target near my stepdaughter's college at the FAR end of my county, I might got on a field trip this afternoon.
I am of the opinion that they waited on SEMA weekend before last to push the last wave. I was in Vegas this past weekend and have not been out today to test my theory, but I HAVE to go out to Wal Mart and Target today because we cleaned out the fridge before leaving.

The markup online makes it not as worth it as it is even to spend a Saturday afternoon chasing them down in stores, not to mention the possibility of damaged packaging. Hell, the thrill of getting out and putting your hands on shit makes that even more fun to me.
With Hot Wheels and Funko, I tend only to buy from individuals I know well if not making an in-person purchase.

I am not prepared to pay the secondary market prices just yet. Also, I like the thrill of finding stuff in store. It's part of the reason I collect.

[izzy-]

A couple years ago I was working live load and had a customer going through hotwheels product that wasn't allowed to be on the floor yet. I collect them myself but just what I find cool. I didn't realize there was such a resale market for them. The guy seemed to know what he was looking for which made it more odd at the time.
Another time a person working for a different department brought out hotweels for a collector to go through. A shopping cart size amount. Like one of you mentioned, he only ended up buying maybe too. Wasted that workers time lol.

Midwest guys look at meijer for fresh hotwheels stock. Walmart and Target never restocks (at least for me). Meijer seems to restock ever two weeks.

Theres a store called Hyvee and ive seen crazy hotwheel displays. Like hundreds of cars on these huge displays.

R33 GTR, Benz Unimog 1500, Land Rover Defender and the Momo VW GTI. Looks like they will be doing more brand-specific runs in the mainline this year where they previously only did like BMW and Porsche.
I also got the 6-piece Spider Man Into The Spiderverse set. With those, I noticed that they're pricing those kind of sets up a little ($1.27 vs $0.94 at Wal Mart).

Found the VW Bus's and a few new Throwback RR cars at Target though. Must have beat the local flippers. Heres my current collection I just recently started back with. Been hard trying to collect Pops, Marvel Legends, and HWs.

[Phlip]

Shit I started buying them for my kids. I let them open them too. At $.79 it’s a cheap win in the dad department. Plus there are so many awesome cars now.

At $0.94 each where I live, my wife basically concedes to them as a harmless obsession, even with a 60 pound bin of them in my storage space.

Ill keep a eye out Phlip. I am just south of you by 2hrs.

I am admitting defeat and paying markup on the one I need.

Today's field trip turned up nine 2019s
Super Chromes 77 Dodge Van, 71(Bond) Mustang Mach 1, 72 Ford Ranchero, 01 Integra GSR, Flames 57 Chevy, Civic EF Hatch, 71 El Camino, 95 RX-7 and R34 GT-R

[WheelWhore]

Is the 01 GSR the White K&W one? I came across two of those but I am trying to stay close to Unimogs and Datsuns and not let my collection run wild lol.

[Phlip]

Yes it is...
I had three more in my clutches in the course of three targets and three wal marts this afternoon. I know I saw that Unimog too, it was the furthest one from my house and I would likely have to sic my stepdaughter on it since she goes to school and works in Winston, lol

My focus is mainly on cars that do/can exist, not the cartoony shit that drops unless I come across treasure/super treasures.

[WheelWhore]

I was doing the treasure hunts back when I truly collected but this time, meh. Only one I really ever wanted was the STH 510 Wagon. But at that price tag, meh.

I dont think our Walmarts have rolled out the majority of the new stuff as most of the cards say new for '18.

I use to check NCHWA for a STH and TH list but I think they stopped some time back. Havent found an accurate list lately though.

Guilford county Wal Marts get good mini sets, rarely do I see TH/STH though. I have gotten more treasures in Dollar General.
I usually comparison shop, see what is fetching on Amazon and eBay to gauge value

I got your unimog right here on my coffee table now... Lemme know what you wanna do

[WheelWhore]

Let me make my rounds tomorrow and if nothing turns up, Ill take it.

Thank you. :)

[DALAZ_68]

I should get back into collecting again...maybe wait till mid 2019 when the rush is gone and i can find the stupid JDM stuff i seek.

[WheelWhore]

The JDM stuff isn't too hard to find right now. Atleast not in my area.

I did finally manage to find my Unimog after 6 fucking Walmarts. Also found out they have a Street Fighter Exclusive Unimog.

Anyone customize theirs with Real Rider wheels? I am thinking about putting some on my Unimog. :)

[Phlip]

I ate a stupid markup on that Chevy truck to complete the Throwback set
Picked up a few more pieces along the way. Preparing for crippling winter weather here in NC, so I am about to chill on chasing hot wheels and cook chicken wings and drink bourbon this weekend

[Benfica7]

I have found 3 of the dragstrip demons. Still need the 55 Gasser and the American Psyclone.

Found the 55 Gasser from the 2nd wave of 50th Favorites.

Still no luck on Forza 2002 or S15.

[Dolph_KYAS13]

Managed to finally find the R32 & R33 this past weekend. Just need to find the white DR30 from that bin and im set :)

[Phlip]

I got the 32, 33 and 34. Scored the KD30 the other day.

Got some other shit I am forgetting too.

i have. but have turned to after market wheel makers like Monoblocks and 710 panda and House of 164

[BoostedAuto]

Glad to see other collectors out there. Just happened to see this thread. Been collecting since I was a kid and about a year ago my brother in law got me back into it. Wife just shakes her head whenever I go with her to the store. Anyone here build tracks still? Been trying to find turns and there really isn't anything in my area, just straight track, accelerators, loops.

[Charleyr1]

I have a ton of stuff like 500+ cars. About 50 of those are hard to find stuff/rare stuff. A lot of supers and convention cars but also older supers and such. I started collecting about 2 years ago and now I just collect the harder to find stuff since my mainline collection got out of control lol

[Phlip]

I started collecting about 2 years ago and now I just collect the harder to find stuff since my mainline collection got out of control lol

I started collecting collecting in about 2007-08ish. I'd had SOME in the years before, but nothing as serious as I am with it since. My now-ex wife hated it, called it "stupid," but my current is like "they're a dollar and you're enjoying yourself, what's the harm?" and what was about 75 in 2011 is now something like 900.
I love mainline cars of cars that exist and look to get what I like plus any rarities or treasures I come across. My wife doesn't even roll her eyes if I am gone for hours and come back with a big bag of Hot Wheels and immediately sit down and start photographing.

[dizzariot]

Dude I think the base NEX out here stopped getting HotWheels. I have so many to get and I can't find them at the ToysR'Us out in town. Trying to avoid eBay and the asinine mark up.

[Phlip]

So I was little early to the barber this morning and had time to go dig through the bin in Wal Mart.
So far, I am 34 pieces into the 2019 collection and running out of space in my bin. Motherfucker weighs 50 pounds at least already

[Benfica7]

Recently picked up the Forza BMW 2002. Still looking for Forza S15. Still on the lookout for the Dragstrip Demons 55 Gasser.

Found 2 of the R34 Skyline Fast & Furious premium. Need the R32 and S15.

The Gulf batch of Car Culture thankfully doesnt interest me too much. My wallet needs a break.

[WheelWhore]

^Green Gasser or Dark Blue/Black Gasser?

[Benfica7]

The Green Gasser is from Car Culture Dragstrip Demons.

The dark blue/black gasser is from the 50th Favorites set which was supposed to be a TRU exclusive, and then when they closed, it was made into a Kroger exclusive but has been seen elsewhere.

I am still looking for both.

[WheelWhore]

I have a spare Green Gasser I can let go off but sold all my Dark Blues. I found them at Walmart.

Anything you are interested in or looking for that we might be able to work out a trade?

[OutlawLui]

Don't know if anyone cares. But i work at a sign shop and I've been printing and making Hot wheels plaques. I asked my boss whose been placing these order and he said.....

LARRY WOOD!!

so Larry wood's been coming into my work and i just found out. Anyone want his autograph? jk

[Benfica7]

Barnes N Noble continues to be my spot! Found 2 green Gassers. One with a broken blister so I won’t feel too bad opening it!

[VROOOM]

My mom brought this home for me. She works at Mattelhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190212/d2eb310c2c73f412cb621320b13a61d6.jpg

[Benfica7]

It's the Eclipse, Rx7, Leon's R33, s14 and VW Jetta.

Correct on the Toyota partnership.

I've noticed that our local Wal Marts have finally really stocked the 2019 joints, three months later than most years, last week. I am gonna run around my city tomorrow and check what I can find, then I will hit some more when I go to Raleigh next weekend.

[Benfica7]

So far only able to find the boss mustang from the Gulf Car Culture. I'd like to also find the Laurel.

I have not seen 1 F&F R32 skyline or s15. Seems like the 2019 mainlines aren't really appealing to me this year.

[DALAZ_68]

Open Track set now available at walmart and target...

those are seriously warming the pegs here in Greenville..the only things that are actually..if you need an R32 and S15 let me know..

I might even be able to get the other Gulf cars...

Greenville doesn't really have anything else though...both Walmarts are still selling the Black Friday bin of deaths

For the chevy?

i hate RLC TBH. i got to jump in in time for the green 510. but to get an order in is nearly impossible. i tried getting the box set of the RLC 2017 CAR CULTURE box, pfft. stood no chance. got raped just for the datsun, which is the only car i really wanted anyway...

i just saw the current line up for RLC

heres a few of them (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4NsyRYxrq0)

only thing i dont see is the green shark gasser and the 240z.

my top 3 are

porsche
datsun
r34

[Benfica7]

Yeah, my main reason for it is the RWB Porsche.

I got the membership last year because of the Datsun 510 club car, and because of the Selections 240z. I was able to snag 2 of these, I might sell 1 when the time is right.

[DALAZ_68]

Selections 240z.

still waiting on mine!

[DALAZ_68]

CASE D for F&F looks like poo.

went to the Legends Tour and got fucked. got in line at 7am( people in line since 3am) for the exclusive datsun 510.
I was 30 people or so behind when they announced they ran out. "Is what it is" I think to myself.

roam around a bit, grab a bite and leave the event.

hour later i get a text that they brought out 300 or so more units... fucking livid.

What is you guys storage situation? I have outgrown a bin that is large enough to fit a body inside of.

I legitimately cannot even close the damn thing.

The only things in this particular bin are the mainline pieces I have gathered through the years. The mini sets are in another that I have also outgrown.
I think I am going to have to get one of those big sturdier cases from Lowes sometime soon before my wife looks out on the porch and sees dozens of Hotwheels all over the place and murders me.
When we sell my house and buy bigger, I will have a room (or hopefully a basement or attic) for my toys and will probably pegboard a whole wall to show my faves

[zombiewolf513]

I've got a BUNCH sitting in XL moving boxes. Just ordered a bunch of these for setting up a wall display:

https://www.amazon.com/Hanging-Strips-Plastic-Merchandising-Display/dp/B07889MN6W?th=1

[Phlip]

Has anyone noticed a lot more Zamac pieces out in the world since the summer?
Not that I have spent much time out in the world chasing hot wheels since I have been working from home for the last nine months, and I don't buy online unless I MUST to fill out a set, but in the last month or so, I have happened upon a ton of Zamac ones that interest me. Unfortunately, I was buying a TV for my daughter I needed to hide until Friday and forgot to photograph anything I got the other day before I put them away.

[Benfica7]

Totally forgot about this thread...

I have pretty much given up on collecting mainlines, unless it is something I really like. I am sticking to premium only. I have sold a TON of stuff this year to thin the collection a bit. I am down to one plastic tote about the size of yours Phlip and its about 30 mainlines and the rest are doubles of car culture that I have opened and put in my new display case on my wall. A friend of mine built a display that fits 216 cars.

If I knew how to post a pic I would...

Wow! You have a massive collection of hot wheels in that luggage. :eek:

I remember at my hayday of collecting back in the early 00's I had 5+ bins of them, full of hotwheels. Then I had about 8 or so filled with Lego sets. Now it's two bins of hotwheels, legos, and old car memorabilia that I have left over
