@@lavishlex First, buy what you like. Second, if you want more scarce or rare look for the circle flame on the car and on the front of the card (grey/silver in color), just behind the vehicle, these are Treasure Hunts. If you find a vehicle with a gold circle flame logo on the front of the card and the letters TH on the vehicle this is a Super Treasure Hunt and more rare. Happy hunting!
As a kid I used to collect a lot of Hotwheels, my dad and I used to buy them almost everyday. Now at 20 I'm starting to collect again, saw a F-150 SVT Lightning and a GMC Syclone in the store last week, couldn't resist the iconic combo.
I just started. 3 months & 300 cars in so far. Going to my first meet & yeah, it's definitely addicting. Especially for someone like myself who grew up on the poor side where even buying a 99¢ HWs wasn't often. So now that I'm showing my nephew HWs & building this diorama. I suddenly snap that as an adult, I can buy all the HWs I want for myself & I just can't stop 😂
That's where we lose a lot of money bcos it's an expensive hobby not all can afford btw just think how much dollars we are spending and then we are so sorry
We bought my son tons of hot wheels. So he got older and we cleaned out the toys. Yard sale time. When it came time I allowed the sale of most every toy ...legos...etc... but not the hot wheels. Something in me made me keep them so basically we still have them. Now I want to get into the hobby....
In my opinion yea,but they usely alot higher in price,it hard to find metal on metal basic hw cars these days,me myself i buy whatever i like most of mine stay in the pack anyways lol
was really into them as a kid, got into them again right around the beginning of 2020 its been so hard to find any as of late resell people and such. Hoping to find a STH one of these days! very cool video : )
I've just started collecting ;w; I needed a hobby I could enjoy but not overburden my bank account with lol. I use to try for Breyer's horses but they're so expensive for one horse that I couldn't do it anymore sadly ;-; so here I am now lol
Their was nothing like the feeling of getting a Hot Wheel when I was a kid. I had all the 68's and wore the wheels off them. I did keep them as a kid, but Mom threw them out. Ah the memories!!
My daughter and I have been collecting together for a year. Love to break some open and stunt them - ya need to have some fun. Have an awesome day! From HWFAH (Stunts, Jumps, Corkscrews, Railslides and Collections)
Another great episode! I've recently found myself picking up these random food based hotwheels from my grocery store. One is a indie car shaped like a hotdog, another is a like a flatbed truck with a big hamburger on the back, and then one is a toaster with toast that pops up. I used to have an official Oscar Meyer Wiener-mobile growing up, but not anymore... Unless I find another one in the wild, lol
Cracked me up at the end! I remember I had to whine for a couple of weeks before Mom would finally part with the cash so I could send off, join the club and get that car! Recently dug it out and have it sitting here in front of me now. Still a prized possession from my childhood and, yes, I think I'd still be mad, too, even after all of these years, if someone had ripped off my chrome Boss Hoss Club Car!
I've recently begun collecting in earnest after the arrival of my son. In the span of one year, I must have accumulated 400 cars, specifically road cars. I rarely pick up anything else, apart from the occasional DeLorean time machine or ghostbuster Cadillac. Mostly I try to obtain three copies. One for him, one for his soon to arrive sibling, and the third for me, to keep in the packaging. Of course, there are certain models I have far more of. Mostly Japanese sportscars, or anything that looks like a station wagon. It doesn't help that I work within 100m of the largest hot wheels supplier for the city I live in. There's a 2020 H case sitting next to me as I'm typing this with a half dozen GMC cyclones in it that I picked up last Thursday. As far as addictions go, this one isn't too bad.
A fantastic video! I only have a few Hot Wheels, I just thought I would ask if you take requests for toy videos? I think a lot of people would like to see a video about collecting 1950s and 60s 70s slot car set both HO and 1/24 scale I look forward to hearing your thoughts thanks for making such nostalgic and high-quality videos!😀
Here's my question. I'm new to the Hot Wheels collectors scene but, I collect for fun. Taking the advice from this video, I only buy what I like. Anyway, should I open and take my Hot Wheels out of the packaging or keep them as they are? What's everyones take on this topic?
Ha, one of the great questions of all time: do I leave the toy in the box or take it out? Personally I judge that on rarity. If the item is super rare when it's mint in the box and I like it that way then I keep it as is. But if it is something that you can find and buy without too much trouble... I am open it up! For the most part these are meant to be picked up! Thanks for watching. Anyone else think otherwise?
They are meant to be open. BUT don‘t open Super Treasure Hunts, or other rare cars. For the most part, i open them up cuz i have a diaroma and i like to ‚feel‘ the car u know. Its more fun like that, plus easier to display and store
Thanks, great advice to collect what you like, pick a category. I sometimes buy something that I think would be good for trading. But I've never traded anything... 😏
3:15 best advice in collecting of course has to come from someone that knows best. Collectors are the ones that set the price for every casting, imagine if no one would pay over shelf price for a “Premium” casting, when someone does it ruins the hobby for the real collectors.
Help please: Looking for info: 2012 HW City Works: Bad Bagger: Motorcycle: # 137/247 at the top of the card, it reads 7/10 To me it looks light blue, but some research seems to classify it as teal. Instead of being on a regular card, some stores got their cars on half sized cards (Due to limited space at check outs, I’m assuming.) I’m going thru my collection and tried to find it on eBay and just googling in general. Can anyone tell me more about this item? Are half card hot wheel cars more/less/same value as the full size cards? Was this one valuable? I collected it because I love Motorcycles. Thanks
I think I found it on Google. It’s not more valuable than the full sized card I don’t think. Although it’s more rare to find. I’m not sure. Maybe I could send you a screenshot with proof I found it on like instagram?
I just buy for my son who loves cars and he's 2 turning 3. But when I see a car from my childhood or just a fave of mine I buy two and keep one in package.... I like collecting but I like seeing my son light up more when he opens the package. Cue me getting yelled at by collectors.....
I collect stuff from my favourite movies and I also collect Hot Wheels screen time and some of the bigger cars from hollywood rides and greenlight cars I have a lot of hot wheels cars I have nowhere to display them at the moment :) I have tryed to stop buying them but I can't seem to
Hi !napanood ko video mo and Meron ako dito hot wheels collection na pamana sa anak ko Ng dati kung boss kaso Malaki na sya di na Niya pinaglalaruan at gusto ko sana ibenta kung interesado ka? -thanx
Yeah there are other people that collect Hot Wheels and their collection gets bigger every time I want to see who has the most extreme diecast in the world besides USA
My dad left me a collection of around 200 in-box hot wheels from around 1994-1998 How would I go about selling them? Is there a website (other than eBay/Amazon)
Stick to decades,60s 70s 80s 90s etc.....go to shows look for finds,don’t overwhelm your collection It can become a nightmare,and as you get older and not as lucid,you’ll end up giving some away. Try to stay in the 200 to 500 pcs,and handle the cars rip them open,unless you handle these cars you don’t own them.Build a nice shelf and admire them!
Started collecting Hot Wheels 10 years ago and it was fun. But after a few years and over 50 vehicles, I got bored of it. The cars really didn’t do anything for me. So I stopped. I still collect hot wheels. But it’s movie vehicles. Stuff y/see in Batman, James Bond, Star Wars etc. I have 19 movie vehicles right now. You got to find something you like. And I did.
Hey great vid, really learnt a lot! Started collecting hot wheels but as I'm in India very limited choices and shipping rates from US and Canada are really high. Any solution?
Is it worth it to start collecting in 2020? I loved Hot Wheels as a kid... I still do. Once I had my 1st child I went from cars an action figures to dolls an tea sets lol.
I would say definitely worth it. First, Hot Wheels are an easy hobby to start: they are affordable and don't take much room at home. Second hobbies keep you sane and give you something to ponder while you wait at your kids soccer practice, ballet practice, science club...
I collect hot wheels but i only collect the ones i like, so basicly I only basicly like JDM cars and muscle cars. I find it sad when some people buy anything with the name hot wheels on the package
Went to a flea market today and saw people selling hotwheels that are still at my local stores for 1$ and they were trying to sell them from 7-12 dollars! Gtfoh!
Just recollecting again after a 10yr break and after 2yrs, I have over 2500+ Hot Wheels, matchbox and other brand diecast plus toys from Funko Pop, action figures and anything catches me and my wife's eye. Too addicting alright, but alot more fun than the first time I collected and just bought everything. Now I'm more selective and properly displaying the items instead of the trash bag/s..I had in them and then giving it away free to the kids after 8yrs of collecting. I won't do that again 😂
Very cool! It's great when you get to back to something that can give you so much joy. I bet you find some killer items once stores and shows come back.
I had a toy car in school and a girl said "does it work" and I of coursed answered yes...... She grabbed it and smashed it on the table and said "it doesn't anymore" she broke it in front of me and I never was able to find another. Of course I could buy it online but I've never forgiven her for it
Im been collecting for 7 months ..and I am totally hooked
Me over 8 years. It very addictive.
How do you know which to buy?? I always go for the realistic cars not the other kind
@@lavishlex First, buy what you like.
Second, if you want more scarce or rare look for the circle flame on the car and on the front of the card (grey/silver in color), just behind the vehicle, these are Treasure Hunts. If you find a vehicle with a gold circle flame logo on the front of the card and the letters TH on the vehicle this is a Super Treasure Hunt and more rare.
Happy hunting!
Nice
Stop, it will become an addiction no joke.

I’ve got a box of some great hot wheels. Several TH and a couple real riders, and some rarity’s. Interested
I just started. 3 months & 300 cars in so far. Going to my first meet & yeah, it's definitely addicting. Especially for someone like myself who grew up on the poor side where even buying a 99¢ HWs wasn't often. So now that I'm showing my nephew HWs & building this diorama.

I just picked up the green Dodge Challenger yesterday :D No clue how many cars are in my collection, I know it's gotta be at least 50+ at this point
5:02 oh wow 😀
5:04 oh boy 😧
that escalated quickly
I've been doing it for only about six months, and I fear I am totally addicted.
Be very afraid mate,,
Same here...
That's where we lose a lot of money bcos it's an expensive hobby not all can afford btw just think how much dollars we are spending and then we are so sorry

Your An Awesome Dad 😂
Great Video! I love love love my Hot Wheels
There's so many of us now, so many that can enjoy these tiny cars!

In my opinion yea,but they usely alot higher in price,it hard to find metal on metal basic hw cars these days,me myself i buy whatever i like most of mine stay in the pack anyways lol
Yea the first 2 years was the best
@Jesse V 1968 1969 there more expensive but well worth it,in my opinion
Yea that would been nice,if you need any more info feel free to ask ill help the best i can
Life long collector here. Been collecting my whole life
was really into them as a kid, got into them again right around the beginning of 2020 its been so hard to find any as of late resell people and such. Hoping to find a STH one of these days! very cool video : )
Wow wow wow, glad i found you! 💯👍
I've just started collecting ;w; I needed a hobby I could enjoy but not overburden my bank account with lol. I use to try for Breyer's horses but they're so expensive for one horse that I couldn't do it anymore sadly ;-; so here I am now lol
Never thought Hot Wheels would return in my life at age 30, now i'm collecting again, should have never stopped. Hot Wheels for life.
That's awesome
Same here, I'm 35 started back collecting again 2 years ago
I’ve been collecting for 5 mins… and I love it.
*OMG* *BEST YET* *CATER*
Their was nothing like the feeling of getting a Hot Wheel when I was a kid. I had all the 68's and wore the wheels off them. I did keep them as a kid, but Mom threw them out. Ah the memories!!
My daughter and I have been collecting together for a year. Love to break some open and stunt them - ya need to have some fun. Have an awesome day! From HWFAH (Stunts, Jumps, Corkscrews, Railslides and Collections)
I’ve been collecting/playing with hotwheels since I was little like 3-4 years. I’m 10 now and I’m still collecting
Another great episode!
I've recently found myself picking up these random food based hotwheels from my grocery store. One is a indie car shaped like a hotdog, another is a like a flatbed truck with a big hamburger on the back, and then one is a toaster with toast that pops up. I used to have an official Oscar Meyer Wiener-mobile growing up, but not anymore... Unless I find another one in the wild, lol
Food + Hotwheels. How can that be wrong??
Hector is super cool he has helped me in the past get castings i was looking for
Hector is indeed super cool
Great video!
You are very knowledgeable
My dad had a lot of those dubs Gary had. Mannnn I miss the early 2000s he would always buy two one for him and some for us😂
Cracked me up at the end! I remember I had to whine for a couple of weeks before Mom would finally part with the cash so I could send off, join the club and get that car! Recently dug it out and have it sitting here in front of me now. Still a prized possession from my childhood and, yes, I think I'd still be mad, too, even after all of these years, if someone had ripped off my chrome Boss Hoss Club Car!

Wow that's 67 Camaro Supers 🤩

@@NitrocideOfficial Agree, in fact we want to address that topic soon.
Would you buy a hot wheel you loved if it was open? There's you're answer!
If u r a kid open and play with it if you wanna sell it for good bucks then keep it as it is ur choice
Great video! I also have a BossHoss. It’s just a cool car.
I like hot wheels
Thanks, great advice to collect what you like, pick a category. I sometimes buy something that I think would be good for trading. But I've never traded anything... 😏
It's hard to let any of them go, we do the same thing!
I have recently started collecting them in 2022 any tips for beginners
Greeting from Bali...
👍👍
So what scale are these...
Hey, I mail ordered a Chrome Boss Hoss in the late 60's...
No idea what became of it now, lol. But, it was way cool.

I liked them best when the tire wall was thick-I hate that thin tire look they’ve had for many years now

I have a 1/24 scale twin mills still in box never played with, how would I find someone who wants tO buy it? It's a legends to life twin mill
