Default Hot wheel collectors ?

How many of you collect some sort of Hot Wheel cars or trucks? My so called buddy has me doing this stuff now . I scored a 1970 Monte carlo and he gave me one he bought at a swap meet. Not sure of the yr on that one . Have to wait till I go down to the car and look under it. I have bought about 9 70 Chevelle's in nthe last couple of yrs . I got into the Monte"s too late. Now I can't find a Nascar model of the 06 07's.

I have a few in my bedroom, been thinking about bringing them in and putting them in my office cube.

Me I'm just collecting Muscle cars. Maybe a few vintage car's. I'm not big into it. But it takes an extra 15 to 20 mins everytime we hit a wal mart

Not hotwheels but I think they qualify for this thread



^^One of my favorites, and it's supercharged! lol.. I have slowly been collecting all of the cars from Cars2. I have all of them but one and that's the lightning mcqueen with race wheels. It's the only one I haven't been able to find in a store but there's quite a few on eBay just haven't wanted to shell out $15 for one Everytime I would go home from school I tried to stop at every walmart/target/kmart on the way. Surprisingly, there are quite a few along that 250 mile drive! My little brothers that are 4 haven't visited my appartment yet but I'm sure they'll notice right away once they do. I think they'll be pretty impressed

My girlfriend even let me display them in our living room haha! Takes some people a while to say something when they come over for the first time lol!

And no that's not a real beer can at the bottom! It has a die-cast in it and it's autographed by Sterling Marlin

I have a big box full of them that my dad bought from a guy he knew who needed money. I never even looked at them or anything. They are supposed to be a complete set from like 97 or 98 but i'm not sure that was what i was told. They are all packaged up brand new cars. Maybe they will have some value to someone someday.

Awesome collection! The train room is sweet I've built my fair share of train tracks, my younger brothers love Thomas the Train. I swear I've bought them over 300 pieces of track and they've gotten much more from others. Always cool to build a cool track and let the trains go for a few hours.. Occasionally the track is so long the battery-operated trains are dead after a few laps

What scale is that white 6th gen? I want one! Might have to do a lot of customizing to mimic my monte lol.
