Hotwheels

[haggard 2hundie]

any fellow collectors out there ? i have roughly 2000 in the packages , mostly muscle cars and trucks and a handful of mx bikes and quads

[jensenracing77]

do you have any old 442 red lines?

[bigbadktm]

i collect the classic broncos, and the 66 fairlanes, would like a 67 to match my car at home, but 66 is the same thing essentially

thousands of them in the packages. Hot Wheels...Match Box...and of course Johnny Lightning. My father used to buy the sets for me starting in 72' and I stoped buying them a few years back when they started getting crappy. I will say I lost quite a few to the sandbox when I was a kid. Their the major reason I don't want to have kids cuz then they'll get opened and I don't like to share!!!

but think of the fun you can have with there toys. if i see something that looks fun at the toy store i tell my wife that the kids need it for christmas. then she reminds me that my kids are girls

I got about 20000+ most in pakages nearly all of them hot wheels, no complete sets either im picky they have to be lowriders, customs, correct musclecars, hot rods etc etc no dumb crap. I just buy them and throw them in a box I figure one day when I build my shop Ill add a office with a million shelvs and put them out on display

I collect the bikes and the vw's. I have some others, but they are just machnes that caught my eye. The radio flyer wagon and the shopping cart are favorites. I have them all in protecto paks and in bins. I really like the sturgis bike and bus sets. I have a bunch of limited editions, stuff that was made by clubs as gifts and such. I pick up one here and there. I had several thousand at one time and really had to trim them down. I had all the treasure hunts up till 2005. I had a bunch of redlines, but have kept my bugs and buses. I have a couple redlines in blister packs as well. I can get carried away. I watch for blisterpack redlines, but haven't found much lately, at least as far as bugs and buses go. I even cut loose my prized set of "farbs", all in blisterpacks. I did pick up some nice chopcycles though. I don't put near as much time in my hotwheels as I did. I still have a couple of my prize hotwheels from childhood, that is kind of why I started with the bugs again as I have a couple redline bugs and pick them up in blisters whenever I can. It's getting more and more expensive though.

hey veal got any lincoln continentals you want to get rid of?

[Vealmonkey]

I'll check, but I got rid of 99% of the regular hotwheels. I know I had some lincolns though. A whole rainbow of colors. I'm sort of obsessive with certain things and I usually have to get every color and variation. That's why I had to get rid of most of the collection. It pretty much occupied a whole room in my house and it was just getting out of control. I went to pretty much every die cast show in a 200 mile radius at one time. LOL I damn near had to go to hotwheels anonymous!!!

[SYKO]

lol im looking for the hardtop continental in the pearl green/lime green/ light green color. Ive only seen this car in these colors as a vert but I want the hardtop, also none with flames or any other crap on the sides thanx!

[Vealmonkey]

SYKO, I know of only 1 green lincoln hardtop, and that was in the 2008 Target exclusive "Scary Cars" 5 pack set. It does have tampos on the sides and hood, but they can be removed with non acetone nail polish remover. Just be careful around the plastic pieces. I use a Q tip and just a drop of the non acetone nail polish remover and it does a great job. I don't know of any other green hotwheels hardtop lincolns. I don't have any of them either, sorry.

I got about 2500, 1 treasure hunt..lol..I fail

[Vealmonkey]

You don't fail, I bought or traded more than half my treasure hunts from other collectors. I have a tendency to obsess. LOL

How I got it?
Well..about 4 years ago..there were some serious collectors in my city..and we all knew when they would get new shipments in of Hot Wheels to the local grocery stores..the one near my house(a Albertsons at the time)..was always the Tuesday of the 3rd week of every month..this is when Hot Wheels were booming and sold like hot cakes.

I would always wake up at 4 am, and rush down till the store would open at 5..well one time there was competition..I walked slowly to the isle where they kept them..and this guy walked over there also...remember this is at 5 AM on a Tuesday..we are probably the only 2 in the store..and we both start digging..I knew he was a collector also..found a few I liked..etc.

Anyway..this happened for 3 months straight, till where we started like running to the isle lol..anyways..I beat him this one time...I'm diggin..he is diggin..I stick my hand in the back and pull out a few right before his hands..and wahlah a treasure hunt..pulled it right out of his hands(right before he was about to touch it).

and ever since then never seen a treasure hunt lol
It's a Mustang Mach 1..2005

I will always remember that..I was only 15 years old lol
