Sounds like you are very money/value driven. Not all collectors are that way. I love automotive design and need to look at the castings in a 360 view so, yes, i'm a loose collector. My premium cars are displayed in 108 car Carney cases and the regular mainlines are in Creative Options 48 car cases. Also created a database on the cars and approx. value for my Son/Grandson in case I blow a gasket. You will find, as you become a seasoned collector that all the cardboard and plastic gets in the way. I'd rather my diecast look like a collection or automotive archive than a toy store isle.
Yes. Facts. Absolute truth. Bingo. 🙌
He already admitted to that
That's the thing that turns me away from this channel. I collect to put a smile on face and get excited. This guy sounds disappointed to have such a nice collection.
Excellent comment. I concur! :)
I’m exactly the same, I plan to keep my collection my whole life. It’s about the excitement not the money.
Number one mistake is forgetting to have fun
The #1 fail is putting a value on it, as soon as you look at it as an investment, you'll always be behind and scared of buying what you like and not whats profitable.
Nobody cares about buying what you like...that doesnt build a collection. That makes you wallet warrior buying cars for solely no reason. How many girls did you like? How you feel about them now ? Obviously you dont care about them. So why factor in buying what you "like". Is "liking" something even a good reason when you're just wasting money?🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️👎👎👎
I failed to collect hot wheels up until 19 while my dad had secretly been collecting his whole life for me. It is an honor to follow him now and see his eyes light up.
Your dad sounds like a great guy.
Hey man enjoy it I gotta sell my whole collection today and my son will not get to get these …
Doing the same for my 3 year old son. He's currently crashing his cars around on his track while I put away carded versions of the nice ones, and keep the highly collectable ones hidden so he doesn't tear them open. It's all his in the end.
This is the reason why I stick to mainline short card releases here in the UK, I just collect the weird and wacky cars. What seriously put me off were the Mario Kart cars, they wanted £7.99 for a kart with a character, but in the mainline, you can get the standard kart with no character for £1.50, I got just over 200 cars on the wall from collecting within this year since starting and it's not broke the bank. For me, it's mainlines or nothing, I can't stand artificial scarcity.
Me to, i only collect mainlines only. I can only find cars i want and frankly i dont really need premiums or STH's. I have only few premiums and thats all.
Mostly colorful mainline cars. Donut Drift I'm on it.
Plus the fact Mainlines are about all we can ever find in the UK…
One of the main failures we can do is listen to the wrong people and quit because of it. Follow your instincts, follow your passion and do what YOU want. I lost a marriage 15 years ago cause my ex wanted me to quit Magic the gathering and I didn't, I slowed down my playing but never quited....3rd wife and still playing.hahahha And I'm back to hot wheels and I Wana go deep in the hobby, I love cars and trading, so I'm in the right place. Let's enjoy together! ✌️ Greetings from Brazil
They are toys! Between my brother and myself. We have every hot wheels since 1994. Approximately 14000 cars. Including every Nascar. The entire collection can't get $1 for each car. As a collector...the cars are only as worth what someone else will give you. Price guides and internet is not a accurate source. It's a fad that comes and goes. Just like baseball cards. They are not worth anywhere near what the hype makes them. I get them for my kids. They race them and stage them like a realistic town. They will remember their favorites and have fun with them. More entertainment then a Hollywood movie or expensive game. When you out grow them....set them aside for the next generation. Or give them away to a kid. The joy they get upon receiving it is much more valuable. Adults scrounging through box's before being put on the shelves or stuffing them in other locations of a store for later on are complete loosers. Not collectors.
I have to disagree...if you can’t get $1 a car I’d say you bought the wrong cars for your collection. If you have every hot wheel since 94’ the ferraris alone are worth $$$$
Diecast value after market is unpredictable… depend on community Awesome share
Wow, that's some revealing information, especially where you stumbled, appreciate the truth. I don't know if this helps but I found that collecting diecast cars from other manufacturers such M2, Autoworld, Greenlight, Paragon 64, Mini GT and more have really enhanced the love of collecting. Also watching KZhead channels such as yours with different viewpoints on collecting. Continue with the fun of collecting 😎🚘👍🏻
Agreed, got to spice it up here and there. I also really like 1:18 scale cars…details are amazing! Appreciate it 👍
I do like the M2 and Auto World stuff, not bad for 6-10 bucks hunting in the 'wild' I'm just getting back into collecting, and it is nice to have other options out there to collect.
You learn as you go, if you started in 2018 then you are still new to the hobby, not meant to be offensive. I open what I want because I'm not looking at selling/trading. I collect certain castings I like and keep to those. I have opened cards that a lot of people wouldn't because monetarily that's how collectors think. I don't. I have carded redlines and those are where they stay, carded. Super Treasure hunts, RLC and other niche series, they get opened for the castings I collect. I'm happy and being happy in this hobby is the important thing to me and keeps me collecting.
I feel you. New to the hobby and hope this doesn't go the way of sports card collecting where folks are pulling guns in Target over pieces of cardboard.
@@mldouglasjr Wow, never heard that for sports cards.
Yea I have over 600 cars all carded and when I move into a new place I had urge to open a bunch was so fun and It reason why I collect opened super treasure hunts treasure hunts monster trucks like got real joy and made me more happy with my collection like I would never sell but thought of them in cases carded up just make me sick didn't open all tho 🛑 at about 50 cars was so much fun will do again soon
If you want to invest in Hot Wheels Buy Multiples and Multiples of JDM. JDM is whats in demand.
This has been one those channels that really provides a lot of information about hotwheels. Always enjoy this channel
Appreciate it 👍
Just like with sports cards, I collect HW's. To heck with "investing". I usually leave models in the packs, but being realistic, I open some and let my great nephews tear some open like I did when I was a kid. My big fail is having cars in boxes instead of a beautiful display. Great video, thanks!
Great video man! I do say collect what you like the most first. As well, if you have multiple’s of a car I would say to open one.
My worst fail was paying 100 dollars for the 2021 full set of Chase ID cars, and the gt hunter was opened and it was sooo much cheaper to just buy the cars separate 😩
Got scammed on IG twice a couple years ago, one for a few bucks but the other for over 100. So I dont do deals by mail anymore. Plenty of local collectors to deal with here in Phoenix. I Highly recommend staying local or seeing who does business with who. Stick to the country your in for Mail/PayPal transactions. Got burn on what seemed like a reputable asian seller and that really turned me off to the scene for a while. I think you made a great point tho as well about your early collecting, and I think it should still be true unless your focusing on trading down the line. "Collect what you like, and dont worry about the prices" but also, "Don't get taken advantage of either". Watch those prices, dig into the trends on social media. Figure out what is the desirable castings are/will be and make smart choices for yourself and your collections.
What up DieCash? There are OGs who have been collecting for decades so when you say seasoned collector those Sir are seasoned collectors in the Diecast world I don’t ever trip or look back after I do a deal. I wanted to do it then and I stand on what I do and move on Have a great day
Bad trade isn't really a bad trade. NOBODY can predict the future. You can speculate but that's personal opinion. You only trade CURRENT value. A $20 for $20. You can't say in the trade that your car will be worth more after 5 years than his car that you have to compensated. That's just ridiculous.
Rough story, bro. I just started last year. But I did months of research before I even bought my first premium.
Thankyou for your experience I also made same mistakes and I feel mad on myself hehehe 👍
Loose STH are somewhat rarer than sealed. The problem with opening them is that you remove the option from 50% of the market. I always attempt to buy at least 2 of everything. I now have a loose and a sealed collection.
I think this advice can apply to any kind of collector- cars, cards, comics, etc. I started collecting Hot Wheels right around 1989/1990 (back when Toys R Us was around). After a while I lost interest and went back to my comic book collection.
Wow,other than the year almost exactly my story,I quit 2016,sold off most my collection,not my best stuff though. Got into action figures and collectibles again around 2020,which ran a bit dry,now back into hotwheels and customs. Great hearing your story👊 very good points made.
Come back better than before 💪💪
@@DieCashCars yessir, supers rlc,premium real rider stuff all on card is mostly what I kept,but some of that retro entertainment and even basics that I let go of really jumped $$$
At the end of the days it’s just things like money can’t bring it with you when you’re gone
I didn't see many failures. Saw at least half a dozen gold civic supers. Id say you either are lucky as hell or rich. Maybe both. Collection was awe inspiring. Great job.
Not lucky or rich, just a motivated collector 👍
I have never once seen or touched a super, like a slap in the face seeing someone with duplicates 💀
Great video. I was scammed once on instagram for over $100 didnt get my money back either . Learned alot from the mistake. I am a loose collector and buy many cars from many different forums like ebay, instagram , dealer websites etc.
awesome video thanks for sharing today i go for a hunt after few months so it's a hobby and just never sell them 💙
nice collection my friend. 🔥
Thanks!
Want to talk about tears to your eyes. I was a collector back from 1995-2000. When I got divorced in 2000 I had to sell my whole collection, including my complete 95 TH set. Now when I see the prices I litterally cry. I just started back collecting recently, I look for TH's and supers but the rest I just buy what I like.
That’s tough man, but build back better than before. It’s all still attainable it’ll just take time 👍
Good shot of that chameleon 240 looking like straight purple. 10:50 Also that “sweet rods” R32 is a stunner
Yea wish i still had those…
100%right!! Great video!!
Some great advice 🤔 I was a collector of 2006 to 2008 matchbox had a massive collection of very rare matchbox. Sold the lot 😳 Regretted it collecting Matchbox never felt the same again . Finally got into hot wheels and must say i’m pretty proud Of my collection of premiums and RLC . Going to hang onto these ones lol
Aside collecting only mainlines, i have few premiums. But i keep my stuff in creative solution (or should i call them Lamely) boxes, so pretty much i open them, as i dont have intention to sell them. I do have some that were in their packages but thats all. You collect the way you want thats how it work. However collecting HW or Matchbox is secondary hobby to me these days. I only buy what i need but my true hobby is collecting manga comics.
Great video, great advice 👍👍✌️
Good life story" Applause"
Great video I don’t think all those were fails. If it made you happy initially that’s all that matters. If your opinions on how you collect change, simply adjust and move forward. With that said I have a trade now that I am pretty sure I am getting screwed on. He still answers but still no tracking number after a week just a run around. So I probably will lose a 55 Chevy super bit live and learn. It happens to the best.
My email's in my description,if you ever wanna trade for somethin lemme know,I might have what you were trading for🤷♂️
If you get any of the collector cars that have the little plastic rubber band holders be sure to open them up and remove them. If you don't, over time, the rubber bands will melt and damage the paint on the car. Messed up some mighty fine cars in my collection.
Yup, I'm definitely debanding.
I dont understand, do you mean Like Rubber Tires of Premiums?
@@averagesubaruowner not exactly. On the car itself, holding it into the packaging there are sometimes rubber type bands that are holding the entire car. Remove them, as they tend to EAT AWAY PAINT. Where the hell do you think these bands are located now?
@@averagesubaruowner The clear little rubberbands they put on the cars to hold the doors or hood open in premium clear cases. Kills the cars paint where it touches the car. The real riders rubber tires can also melt and deform over time in high heat storage environments.
I’ve been 👀for the Simpsons car for a hot minute don’t do me like that 😭🤣
I traded 3 of last years porsche Outlaw supers for
I bought a lot of mainlines that I thought were cool. I realized that I should have left them so I started to transition to only specific cars. I need to get rid of them. If I can find somebody who collects M2 Machines I’d trade and wouldn’t care about value as much. It’s too easy to justify spending $5 here $10 there and end up with 100 cars every couple weeks. That’s how they get you. $1 a car. Then I bought the whole set of ultra hot Target exclusives when I only wanted the regal. Somebody send help…
I tried to get my hands on the Chevy ss 454 a month ago. I joined the rlc club and waited. It dropped at the HW store online but decided to wait till my lunch break to get it. I'm a FedEx driver and can't stop to play in my phone. I waited an hour after the time it dropped. Took my a break at noon. Turned out it was sold out by the time I went to break. The hobby is hard for the working man.
If you buy at eBay or seller prices, then trading and worrying about value matters. If you collect because you actually love the cars, value doesn't mean anything. It should be valuable to you and you only. Don't get caught up in value for Hot wheels, cuz its not a gold mine
Hey, I also bought a super from Facebook, they sent what they promised but the condition it came in was very poor and i dont know what to do, what do you recommend I do with the super?
Resell...and leave review on the shitty seller for having horrible quality.
I have over 5000 hot wheels. I bought a Redline Olds 442. It ended up being a fake( reproduction). I kept it. It looks awesome. You get what you pay for.
I have over 600 cars, 3 supers and 8 trasures, at times i feel like im done, but i wont quit, it would be nice to find someone to trade a super for super, i have 2 porsche 356 outlaws on gulf liverly . One i want to trade
Im sure there are plenty interested in trading for that gulf porsche
I have 500 cars and still collecting !!! I started 2 years ago !!! Its fun !!! Great feeling finding cool cars !!!
I'd say my biggest fail was when the team transport series first launched I had drilled and destroyed prolly ten or more of the Advan haulers. I mean it's sad to look at them sitting in the graveyard lol. Also had drilled prolly ten or more of the RWB hauler for the wheels and now they are going way up in value
Ouch…
I collect Hot Wheels (among other brands) only for a couple of years, and I don't open the Premium models because I really like the artwork. For me, the HW car and associated artwork are one model and not separate, hence not opening them. I do open the mainlines though as the artwork is not something special.
I've committed to it only collecting things that I like or that are considered rare. I always buy two of everything because you never know(unless it's already rare)
Great video!
I'm guessing the fact that I actually played with mine as a kid in the sixties would be considered a fail. Had the original 16, I believe, the Wheel carrying case back then. Later on had the Snake and Mongoose funny cars, the original yellow and red and the white and blue. Plus the same with the front engine dragsters in both colors and the wedge dragsters as well. Who knew back then.
But I bet those memories are priceless, no regrets!
I lost thousands of cars in 1997 and 2006 a divorce and a seperating alot of high end ones out of my control though so stopped collecting then started again in 2015 it is what it is but I feel you I've lost super treasures jdm's Bmws classic cars exclusives 2 pack well I can go on and on 😆 plus alot of star wars some I've gotten back some lost forever I too feel like that during the covid period March thru June 2020 lost alot of grail Funko pops to scammers lying about the hobby just to flip some pops that now are worth a grip it happens loved the video keep it up johnny SD CA 😆 and I live in comic con country hard to find premiums and especially super treasures or super chases luckily never got rid of my Japan historics 👍
Build back bigger and stronger 💪. Appreciate it!
@@DieCashCars yes sir you know it 🙏
Just stumbled upon your channel, looking for fellow collectors. Love your videos. I'm 47 and my older brothers gave me there original hot wheels as a kid all original red lines. My mom sold them in a yard sale when I was a teenager. I too in 2018 started collecting again. Mostly tring to find sth and ths. Also like mustangs n batman n other classics like dodge Chargers. And fastn furious and dukes of Hazzard.
Thanks for sharing, appreciate it bro 🤜🤛
great video however I collect loose in ziplock bags and in transparent jammers where I can see what is in each one so if I see a corvette I know that case has cars that start with CO
I made tons of mistakes, collecting wasted a lot of money, but it makes some money back to.
My biggest fail was buying the RLC pink Boss 302 Mustang on Ebay as a pre order for $120.00 thinking the car was going to be expensive like the RLC blue boss 302 Mustang. The pink one is selling for like $70.00 on Ebay now 😂
Live and learn 😅👍👍
Hahaha! Oh, you're funny. Guess you never learned about how guys think.
I sold my bel air candy striper for 500 6 years ago. That was my biggest mistake!
Btw would you trade a civic ek9 super for a skyline 2000 super from this year?
Haha you described me to a T. Made all those same mistakes
He is ashamed of saying ,,playing with the cars😂😂😂😂
I’m an open collector but I don’t open soups or my movie collection cars. Soups for the reasons you stated and the movie cars just have super cool cards that really shows off the movie they represent
The last “fail” is me right now. I just bought my first car so I ended up selling some of my extra mainlines and whatnot to afford the parts I want to put on my 1:1 car, luckily I didn’t sell pieces as good as yours but I did save a little bit of money from not buying some RLC or other pieces I would have bought if I didn’t have my car
Plenty of time to rebuild, thats what I’m doing. Take care of your life needs first 👍
@@DieCashCars amen brother, I don’t miss any of the stuff I sold so that means I can get some stuff that I like in my collection. I also don’t like to have a bunch of stuff laying around so it was nice to sell some stuff off
Do you think trading the nismo R34 RLC for a Mountain drifters LBER34 chase is a good trade? Do chases hold/increase in value?
Too soon to tell on the premium chases. They are both fairly even in value at the moment so it’s really up to your personal preference. I made a video comparing these two and my pick would be the rlc Nismo r34… kzhead.info/sun/nN5vndJ8ooCeiXk/bejne.html
@@DieCashCars I think the chase ER34 looks so much better than the RLC with the ugly hot wheels logo, but I want to hold onto the RLC just in case it spikes in value eventually
Gold Camaro was a good trade 😁
🤩😍😍 the Simpsons family car 🤤
I open some and leave some packaged the trick I do is try to get doubles one to wall and second to open
Hey I have a question. Could we possibly get in contact? I acquired a few hot wheels and such from an old family member. And I have no idea if any of it is worth anything or not
Sure, my email is in my channel description 👍
I had a mercury cougar sth, and at the time when i purchased it i didn't have protectors. Sadly, I damaged the card with The Large crease across the card. Wanted to open it but never got myself to do it as it was my first STH.😥😥😫 Sad but sentimental at the same time
Should opened that cougar I opened my first super treasure hunt that Mercedes race car 🚗 so clean ❤
@@nikoenciso01 sounds awesome, but i cant 😂
Me up in a Hot Wheels fans for as long as I can remember my mom always used to buy them for me as well as other family members to me Hot Wheels this bring back all nostalgic memories of the past but honestly I'd never heard of treasure hunts until I was in my later twenties but I guess one of my fails I guess is a Hot Wheel collector was it always seem like Hot Wheels had the best cars in their five packs later would be called the 10 packs as well and I always wanted to buy them in a normal setting so I got burnt out on them and not to mention treasure hunts being so hard to find it may not really have in too many of them because of financial circumstances but when I started collecting them again after I stopped working for Walmart I've always left them in their packages which was an old failed of mine because I just couldn't resist taking them out of the package not knowing that it would hurt the value but now I extremely buy Hot Wheels because I enjoy the art of it and how much time and patience it takes to create Hot Wheels to me it's like buying a model car and having a display case with it but I used to draw pictures a lot of times and used a tremendous start of Hot Wheels to surround the picture frame but enjoyed the video in great job on telling people that they're scammers out there who take advantage of collectors.
Not too many fails for me. I've been collecting since 2005 here in the UK and its a smaller scene. My number 1 fail though was not buying the Period Correct 190e at cost from the website. Its now worth 4 figures!
We live and learn 👍👍
Is that hot wheels with opening hood?
Well I slowed down because new HW’s doesn’t having anything that sweet anymore or it is because our area doesn’t get cooler pieces in
Edit: how much you want for the factory sealed 510 wagon super?
I might have be buried with that piece 😅
@@DieCashCars That’s ok, I’ve been searching for one for a good price for two years and if it was factory sealed that’d be a cherry on top. I’d never sell one if I got ahold of it😂
If you got what you wanted, or needed... You made a good trade.
When I moved from NY to NJ in late 1997 I had 2 briefcases of die casts (1 with THs plus other stuff I collected from 1994- 1997 and 1 had loose cars, I think the loose briefcase was either lost or I left it behind in NY) fast forward 2011 I came back from a friend's wake I was so distraught over the loss that I completely spaced about asking his son who I knew what happened to the stuff I had in the attic. Fast forward again 1 decade later, I get in touch and the son said everything from the attic was cleared out when we sold the house, I'm sorry..........to this day I'm STILL kicking myself about what I COULD have had.
That’s tough, I’m immediately thinking of the ‘95 Camaro Super in white 😰
I feel you bro, I left a few boxes... Close to a thousand if not over that at a friend's house while moving, and I am pretty sure they found their way to some hobby shops without me. I have 7 cars left from back then, and none are the super treasure hunts. I did manage to keep one of the two '49 Merc TH's and one of the three '37 Ford TH's I found at a local Wal Mart back then, but I suppose this month was as good as any to start collecting again.
Number one to the video. On quitting.. well I'm almost about to quit. I've been a hardcore collector for almost 5yrs now. Buuut. only recently that I've gotten into hotwheels. I collected autoworld. Johnny lightning. Green light. M2. But I never did hot wheels cuz to me it was over wellming to go thru so many cars. Until I found ways to dumb it down to make it easier to find treasure hunts and supers.. so like 3 months ago. I took a chance. Felt I had knowledge enough. And while out huntn for my normal diecast. I seen there was full pegs. Grabbed one to see what case. (Cheated with a quick look on my phone to see what was what) and after I seen what the super was and the TH was. And thought omg. The card I flipped to see what case was out. Was actually the super. The whole odds of that happing. Was crazy. But was stoked. That I found a super and a TH on my 1st chance of actually looking. So I got sucked in. But I still think I'm going to sell a good chunk of my collection come spring. Waaaay to many collectors now days. With only a few stores. I still score. Jus got a M2 chase yesterday. But it's gettn harder to collect. But I got a good person collection I'm happy with. And sell a lot of the rest
Just shipped my Honda Civic 2023 Super Treasure Hunt with a perfect card I already regret it and haven't been paid yet hope they don't like it and send it back
😢 did you sell on eBay?
No Ragrat! I ain’t quitting 😂
Do you collect Matchbox cars too? They have superchase cars which are like Hot Wheels sth just the Matchbox version.
I definitely have Matchbox cars as well. Although I’ve not had luck finging those super chases….still on the hunt 👍
I found two Super Chase Broncos at Kroger 2 year ago left one open mine soon as got home rolls like champ 🏆
Never purchase on "The Bay", that's what took all the fun out of it. Just buy what you like.
I'm just a joke then, I just collecting what I like. Like my corvette zr1 (I bought it because of the nostalgia)
Gosh that Datsun is ugly. I quit Hot Wheels and collect Mini GT nowadays. I can’t be happier with my choise. I bet Mini GT is the future for adult collectors, Hot Wheels is past. It might take 10 years for that but mark my words :-D
With supers I make sure I have another and then open the one w a bad card
Youre Video shows that you are also slavish follower to this terrible STH price development. I startet collecting what I like in 2004 and I still only buy the models that I like. Feels much better then regretting my decisions all the time 😉.
The biggest fail is buying a car that you think you really like when your really buying it because of the hype and hope it will turn into a high dollar car.
The biggest fail is seeing a hobby thats meant to be about enjoyment as an investment. Loose cars all day long!!!!
You're just mad you cant think financially. Rather you want to see adult playing with cars like little kids??? GET OUT OF HERE.😂😂😂
Off but on subject kinda. Number 3. To soon JR..? I got the same thing with a Lego mini figure. Back 10yrs ago I spent $150 for this dude. And the person I got it from got it for free. Or cheap at comic con.. But recently I looked up a sold listings. And back September 26th. On ebay. In it's original package. Like I still got... Sold for $10,000. Blew my mind.! Something I took a chance on cuz I was maken decent money and having a small crisis in my life. And bought a Lego for a lot of money. And thought about selling or trading many times when I was short on money. But once I saw that. Glad I never did. I got a gold piece in my collection
Great share out, appreciate it 👍👍
One thing i learnt, stay away from mainline cars, even if someone has hundreds of junk manilines worth of $100, i will not trade with $100 worth of rlc or conventions or super, their class just different
Me and my daughter started collecting back in 93 when she was three years old and we went everywhere Walmart target all the usual places all the way up till 1998 she started getting a little older losing interest I had over 1600 cars tacked all over the wall in one room no duplicates and different wheel set ups everything they come out with we were buying this was back in the four pack sets Hot hubs had everything they sold on the shelf lost interest they all went into totes set for 20 years and I sold them all once that everything 450 bucks big mistake they were all in blister packs but sitting in those totes they drilled moisture and all the blister packs was coming apart I still know the body that has them he’s trying to sell them back to me just one of my hot wheels stories 11/26/22
I open all the cars I get, even the supers. It’s not about the money you have to look at it like gambling. You’re never going to win all your losses back & there no value in dreaming about what could’ve been. Get the cars you like for the type of activities you want to do (racing or display only)
I sold my Silvia for ten bucks. I also sold 2 grand worth of chases I had, was hoping to make a little money, but, lost 600 bucks instead. Stick to the cars you like.
Do they make fake rlc¿
Wow, you put the bum in bummer.. I'll never get tired of hot wheels. I'm 62 you make it stressful. Myself worth or not worth money, I dont care. If I like the color, car, rims, I'll buy it. If I get a good find that makes me happy.. if I find 2 even better.. it should just be fun!! I don't hoard. Leave some for the next guy. Or girl. But that's just me.
Top Fail - Being a Hot Wheels "Collector"
Collecting hot 🔥 wheels has gotten to be less fun and no rare finds like we use to come across 10-20 years ago.
Agreed
I got that one at Walmart for a 1.00 when it came out I don’t trade some times I will sell or I give some to my grandsons yes I have bought a few off eBay
how do i join rlc?

I still have the 4th of July series (2002)☕🌲💻🇺🇸
If it’s to good to be true. Then it’s probably not true.
Exactly
I had 2 gold Camaros and a full set I sold them for $5 a piece
Oh I don’t have that one the 50 anv. 69 Chevy Camaro.
