hot wheels

[Nomad707]

ok, who remembers hot wheels and those badass tracs you could drop your car down and go thru loops and jumps...

man oh man those were the days.

 

[HIDPLANET]

Oh you mean the ones I used to get hit with?

I picked up a TON of track at a garage sale when I was a kid. I would spend hours making huge tracks all around my basement. I always used to make jumps out of it on my driveway, and jump cars into a bucket.

Then my dad threw it all away

Mattel still sells them...

I used to work there, and I have literally over 3 thousand hotwheels...

They're looking for "treasure hunts" which are randomly inserted into each box at the factory...

I have a couple, (found one at Chuck E Cheese's) worth a pretty penny, too...


here's a cheap cell pic:

they came with rubber tires, and special packaging/paint...

i used to have alot but all were given to goodwill

My buddy at work collects Hot Wheels, he's got quite a few rare ones, some nice old Redlines, and a bunch of treasure hunts and old in package cars.

Quite a few of his sell for big money on eBay, etc, but he's got all of his for cheap, I don't think he's ever spent more than a couple dollars on them.

Treasure Hunt. There's usually 1 per case of Hot Wheels at the store, there's 12 types per year. IIRC.

 

[tlo86]

Oh yeah... I got that...

Jeez, I had a HUGE case of the cars, and MILES of track. Loved that shit...

Lol my dad just sold our old tracks on eBay, but not before looping them through the house one last time. Ah the memories... At least I still have my cars.
