Rick my trip to Walmart, Target, or Toys RUs go like this. In the front door, head for baby isle to get formula, diapers, and other baby essentials, next hit the magazine rack, next is movies and electronics, from there I hit the Hot Wheels, matchboxes, M2's, Johnny Lightnings, Green Lights, and CARS. Next is automotive, then to the registers for a gift card for gas and to pay for my newly acquired booty. If I have the girls with me then I add Barbie and Dora toys. I have hundreds of 1/64 die cast and some 1/25 and 1/18 too to go along with my 1/25 plastic models. In my house if it's a car from full size to smaller its collectible. I need a bigger house so I can display them. If it is scale of a car that I currently own or have owned or wish to own then it is a must have.

Gregg: I saw this guys garage and it was full of Hot Wheels. What he did was put up wood the size od 2X4's on the garage walls all the way around. With enough space just to fit them on that shelve. From top to bottom of the garage. He hadn't filled it the last time I seen it. But it was all American cars & trucks. No weird lookking Monkey type cars. Just car G.M. Ford and so on. Even had some American Motors car. KOOL as Hell to see. Thats was about 10 yrs ago. He has to have it filled by now

I'll work on getting pics posted. I went to Walmart the other night for gas and I found a Johnny Lightning 85 Monte Carlo and a M2 67 Pontiac Firebird. They both joined my collection as well as a Hot Wheels PT Pronto. It is a show car based off of the PT Cruiser. When Mike was in Florida he showed me how to use photo bucket so maybe I can post pics.

Thank you!
The "train town" is, unfortunately, taken down right now. Waiting to finish re-arranging my 2 rooms before putting it back up. We have all sorts of towns represented, too!
LOL! Any pics of yours?
That'd be cool! I'll have to check and get back to you on that. Nephew is sleeping downstairs right now and I don't want to run down and disturb him.
Thanks, Brock! What is pictured isn't all I have, either. See...another reason you should've stopped by. Just sayin'.

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

hot wheels
I've done this before, however; I have added a few of them to my collection. I have always loved these little Hot Rods. I guess it's one part of me that will not grow up...oh well. 
I tend to like the classic styling and anything with surfboards and flames. The Motorcycle was given to me by a former co-worker. My last name is "Duncan". The Oldsmobile has my first name on the door. The black MC SS in the incased package and also the blue one was given to me by another co-worker. Besides the two that are out of package; I have two more still in the package.
I have a old cigar box downstairs with some old beat-up HW's inside.
Anyway......enjoy !
