its dropping in white!!!

 

 

 

this thread is making me spend money i need for other things lol

 

lol, I know what you mean. I'm up to 21 Blue ones and 9 black ones

 

^^holy cow, lol. i usually buy every one i see too, bu ti'm nowhere near that! i have more than 1000 hot wheels dating back to 1995 still in the packages... i used to be a HUGE collector. now they're just sitting unfortunately, bu ti know what its like to have quite a few of a single car. gonna have to snag the white one now!

 

1,000!? And my fiance bitches about my collection. The white one is only going to be available in a few markets so I might have to pay extra for one on eBay

 

im up to about 7 black ones and close to 20 blue ones,, ah now i have to look for white ones, aahhhhhhhhh lol. they should make a royal maroon one so it would match my 85 se. above when you say they will be available in a few markets does that include wal-mart?

 

i wish i still had all the hot wheels i had as a kid. they'd probably be worth some money.

 

I haven't found a white one yet but I have over 10 black ones and over 20 blue ones. I disassembled one of my blue ones and am painting it to match my tender blue '85.

 

This thread is making me want to go to Wal-Mart and look. Oh hell, I'm going to go right now . Wish me luck, to bad they don't come in silver .

 

well keep us posted on if you are able to find one or more!!!

 

Victory! they only had blue tho. I was hoping for black, but either way it was a successful trip .

 

Looks sexy in white and blue, got one in black, and speaking of collections mine is packed away at the moment but once we get moved I'll try to remember to post a pic of mine, been collecting since I was like 4. Glad to see some more Hot Wheels collectors on the board.

 

it would take me over an hour to set my collection up.. it takes up my entire living room floor... all are still in the packages and i have them in multiple large boxes. maybe i'll do this on sunday when i'm free if anyone is interested in seeing the collection. as for 7's i have two blue and one black hot wheels. i also have two original SA's in the package from 1981. they are matchbox though. i can dig those out and post a pic as well if anyone is interested.

 

i would like to see what the matchbox ones looked like, and what year they are closer too.

 

^as would I. . .

 

ok, let me dig them out today and post some pictures. if i remember correctly, they are SA's. one is black and the other is white.

 

I have a 1979 mattchbox that I found at my wifes grandmas farm sitting on the shelf.. Felt odd asking if I could have it.

 

One of the attactions at the Japanese Classic Car Show yesterday in Long Beach as an appearance by Jun Imai... the designer at Hot Wheels who did the new 2012 SA cars.

I came away from meeting him with these, autographed:




Oh, and this car was there:

 

Beautiful Glen but they used an S2/3 for the full size car, not that I would say no to it lol.

 

Yeah it's a JDM RHD 'FB' by our terms where it should be an S1 or "SA". They also left the number stickers off... but if you look closely at the Hot Wheels, the JDM Legends stickers are clearly there.

 

OH!!!! They finished it.
That car is pure sex, did you find what they did for brakes and steering?

 

I collected from 95 till about 2008. I have over 7000 Hotwheels still in packages and about 400 opened and displayed in end units. I was really BIG into them and have some that are worth a few hundred dollars each....

I stopped collecting because Mattel just flooded the market and eBay killed the hobby....To many people go to the stores and buy them just to sell them on eBay... Damn scalpers....ruined a good thing....

It was MUCH cheaper buying Hotwheels than building my GSL-SE or my FD..

 

couldn't agree more about Mattel flooding the stores with them.. there used to be a limited number of first editions and treasure hunts and now there are over 100 first editions each year and the treasure hunt series looks like crap..along with most of their other series that they release. just not that fun to collect anymore. i just buy the cars that i like now, instead of buying the complete sets for that particular year.
