Room 34 #3 Posted November 18, 2003 Oh God, please don't start me down this road. It's bad enough that at 29 I have become completely re-obsessed with my 8-year-old obsession (Atari). Don't suck me back into my 5-year-old obsession!!! Hey, I just remembered my parents have a box of my old Hot Wheels in the basement... maybe I'll check 'em out next week when I go home for Thanksgiving... NOOOO!!!!!

candiru #4 Posted November 18, 2003 Stay far away Room 34. Hot Wheels collectors are insane. At least the guys that are into the new stuff and getting the Treasure Hunt cars. Sitting outside Target early in the morning then pushing and shoving, stampeding their way to the toy section the instant the doors are unlocked. My brother-in-law (who is one of those insane Star Wars collectors) once saw a Hot Wheels collector reach out and crush the blister pack of a Treasure Hunt car some kid was holding so it would no longer be "mint on card." I'm a retiring Die-Castaholic myself. I used to collect, but now I only pick something up if it looks cool or it's a really good price. I don't really go out of my way for it anymore. Of course it's just been replaced with Atari, but that's got nostalgia, the thrill of the hunt, the satisfaction of having something tangible, and entertainment all rolled into one. Sorry Mock, not trying to hi-jack your thread. A year and a half ago I'd probably have been all over something like this. It's a cool hobby, I just ran out of room for more stuff.

sku_u #6 Posted November 18, 2003 If they were matchbox cars, I'd be all over them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacGurl #7 Posted November 18, 2003 If they were matchbox cars, I'd be all over them Yeah, that's what I play wi....collect is mostly matchbox. Does anybody have one of those carwashes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Room 34 #8 Posted November 18, 2003 I had the carwash as a kid... my parents MIGHT still have it. What an idea... get these little hunks of metal wet as often as possible. Shrewd way to keep the kids buying replacement cars! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sku_u #9 Posted November 18, 2003 Do you all remember the hotwheels wax car making kit from back in the day? I used to love making these cars then destroying them by crashing them into their diecast counterparts Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mock #10 Posted November 18, 2003 i have some matchbox and like I said, I have a ton of this crap filling up my garage...gotta get rid of it...lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MacGurl #11 Posted November 18, 2003 Mock--can you tell me what kind of Matchbox stuff you have? I don't really care for the "hot rods" who's engines are sticking out of them with the big tires in the back. Any normal looking ones? I try to find the older "real" cars.

slapdash #12 Posted November 19, 2003 I'm maybe interested in any monster trucks or 59 Caddys you have... But for trades, mostly I have some handhelds available, and nothing too interesting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sly #13 Posted November 20, 2003 I am interested if you have redlines. Do you have any??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mock #14 Posted November 21, 2003 yes i have some redlines, and a lot of "good" stuff, TH's and so on...limited runs, VW Buses, collector ed's and so on and so on. I'll take some pics over the weekend and try to get them up by monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad2600 #15 Posted November 21, 2003 Mock, let me know when you do. My brother is big-time Hot Wheels collector but he doesn't push and shove little kids to get to them...he trades with other collectors around here. He's got complete sets from several years. He might end up asking me to EBay them so I dunno. What do you have anyway? A lot of older VW hot wheels? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
video game addict #16 Posted November 21, 2003 I've got 2 Hotwheels cars, One is a '64 Ford Fairlane "Thunderbolt" It's up by my desk. And another I just found recently when cleaning up, it's a McDonalds Toy from 1990, its a '57 T-Bird still in the wrapper. This one worth anything?

Is it this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...93&category=764 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brad2600 #18 Posted November 21, 2003 I hope my brother doesn't ask me to EBay his collection. He's worked too hard to get those complete sets. He's entitled to have a collection of some sort. Eh well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
video game addict #19 Posted November 21, 2003 LOL Yeah there's always ebay! It's this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...79&category=224 Guess it's not worth too much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
