Hot Wheels

Pretty much any Toyota is what I'm after. But it's this one (but looking at the prices....idk haha)

All good! yeah I like how they came out with the Toyota only set

 

Oh gotcha, yea the Boulevard cars are generally more expensive. Also hard to find! Unfortunately I do not have that one.

 

I occasionally set a random Hot Wheels somewhere around work. No one's figured out it's me. Yet.

My last two, ebay.

 

I love the 55 gasser’s they made. One of the more customs I see a lot.

 

I've seen Big Deal carded going for $35 a couple weeks ago at the swap meet. It's my favorite Hot Wheels in my collection.
I recently asked the vultures at the swap meet about the blue premium 87 Tacoma Hot Wheels I saw posted above and nobody has even seen that in this area.
They had to look it up. I make a shopping list of what I see you guys posting so I at least know what to look for. Good luck finding it though.

 

I paid $11 for the Big Deal. But $5 to ship.
914 i have seen for $30, no way i was paying that.
Got it for $6 plus $5.20 to ship.
Been looking for the 914 for the last year it seems.
Couple more i want but i wont pay the high price.

I cring every time i get to the bottom of this page and see that MBX '16Tacoma for $54.

So I grew up with hotwheels. My mom kept mine, so my boys have a pretty good collection. But we also unbox and play with the ones we keep. The excessive tacoma buying is only because we give them away. I got a lime green taco this year. Here is one we "played with"







I have about 40 cyber trucks we have found. Those we are going to sell to the cybertards, if the cybertard truck ever becomes real.

 

got busy got those bed cover from eBay but lock aren’t that good I have to modify the tape I put came out as plastic window

 

A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I attended the Hot Wheels Legends Tour in El Segundo (near the Mattel Corp offices). Tons of people showed up, a very kid-friendly event with lots of fun cars to look at. Many had already been created into 1:64 Hot Wheels.

Mattel press release:

"In partnership with Mobil 1, Walmart and Dickies, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour is back. Celebrating its fifth year, this epic global contest offers builders a unique opportunity to have their passion projects immortalized by Hot Wheels in 1:64th scale.

"The winning build that best exemplifies the judging criteria of creativity, authenticity, and garage spirit will be inducted into the Hot Wheels Garage of Legends, joining previous champions including the 2018-winning 2JetZ™, 2019-winning 1957 Nash Metropolitan, 2020-winning 1970 Pontiac Trans Am, and 2021-winning 1969 Volvo P1800 Gasser.

"Once selected to be reimagined as a die-cast vehicle, the winning fan submission will be available for sale in more than 150 countries around the world."

I snapped a few photos -- you might recognize a few cars:

We had 1008s and 1028s in my combat comm unit before humvees showed up. Good truck. Chevy C20 with the 6.2 diesel.

 

My first vehicle was a 1978 Chevrolet that someone swapped a 6.2 diesel in, it stayed broke down more than I drove it.
