Hot Wheels

I am incapable of keeping these things in original packaging. If it's that important to me I will buy two. I want to play with my toys!

 

Cards? Where we're going we don't need cards...

 

If I really need them, I can always go back.

Edit: back to the future.

 

im like you tbh i keep certain ones in cards but will always pull them out of the card! i want to see it better without plastic in the way!

 

"Another" 65 Comet Hot Wheels aqua Gasser with wheel swap. They are all different. Red Fiat Topolino with Mean Machine wheel swap.

 

My wheel supplier sent me some new wheel prototypes to try out to see if I like them. Back wheels only. They are OK just wish were deeper dished.I put them on a Hot Wheels 41 Willys. I have 2 Moebius 1/24 scale Ford F100s under construction right now A 66 and 69 models. Also have one of their new release 72 F350 wreckers back ordered.

 

TOMY 1/10 Back to the Future DeLorean. This was a Kickstarter project that I just got. Is it perfect, no. Is it very good, absolutely. For $299+shipping I would have liked a few less flaws on the car, but for the scale and limited production, it's awesome. I figure even if I sent it back and got another one I can't guarantee it would be any better. The only real gripe I have with the design is that the rear ride height is too high and the front wheels poke out too car. Otherwise it's unreal.

 

Found all three transports tonight AND had my first gift exchange with one of my diecast homies:

 

Those tarmac cars are super realistic, nice!

 

Agreed on that one. Too tempting. I would have zero regrets taking that one out.

 

Back in the day when I first started collecting I would buy two so I could open one and keep one in the package. Now I only buy one and open most of them. The ones with nice artwork I keep in the package.

 

Sometimes I feel a little bad about ripping a pristine truck out of its packaging, especially when someone has gone out of their way to preserve it.

Edit: but I do it anyway

 

As long as you roll it across the table or counter when you do open it. Or am I the only one that does this?

 

My 53 year old brother collects Star Wars figurines and has all the sets since the beginning of the franchise. He has 2 of everything and keeps 1 of each carded and plays with the others. I just visited him recently and hoped he wouldn't ask me to play Star Wars with him. If you are buying and look at reselling them to make a profit. Leave them carded. If your like me who likes to display them out of the package then don't worry about it. On ones I suspect may have value someday I try not to damage the packaging when removed and then store it if i ever need it. Hot Wheels I will usually slit the bottom enough to free up the car and the front still looks unmolested.

 

Almost forgot...the hood opens!

You are not alone. I also say "vroom....vroom....VROOM!"

 

It's been awhile since I've found anything tbh... But I found these all recently! Some of them are not ones I go for but thought they were just to cool to not grab!




This is a early gift from the gf since I have a blue 17 f150 access cab that I'm making look like a raptor since I couldn't find a raptor access cab long bed.

 

Heck yeah! Thanks its my very first one

 

Haven’t had any time to look for anything lately, but I was very happy to find the TH Impala today.
