Thank you! Humbling coming from you, it seems you have every Hot Wheels known to man when I watch your videos - and now Mattel is sending them to you for free! Congrats for the big sponsorship!
That black van with the flames... My mom bought one for my cousin's birthday (new back in '76 of course) and I went on a mission trying to find one for myself. I also had the military six pack. Like any perfectly normal ten year old, I made them all look battle-worn. I specifically remember using a magnifying glass to burn holes in the Staff Car windshield to look like bullet holes. Thanks for the time travel. Between my brother, my cousin, and myself, we had every car on that table :)
My favorite year I was born In 76 and have played with and collected hotwheels ever since I have a several of these mint and several reproductions I’m Big into the gassers of today’s hotwheels and a few others but these 76 editions is closes to my heart
That was a brilliant vid on Hot wheels, i have been looking forward to this for 2 weeks and was well worth it wtffor. i can not wait fotr the next, i live in the UK and collect myself. I have an unusual Hot wheels show hoss in blue with the White and blue tamps but it has made in malaysia on the base, i thought that the blue ones were only made in France or Mexico i have it on ebay at the moment check it out it might be a bit rare. i am 53 and love collecting.
Thanks for the kind words! I believe the Show Hoss you have is from the 1983 Speed Machines series, released in limited numbers due to unpopularity at the time. Nowadays those cars are rare and fetch a good dolla on ebay... Good luck with your sale!
fantastic video BRAVO !! Not just the cars but the information to go with it . I truly hope this series gets the younger guys to starte collecting early hot wheels. I know for a fact tease videos will make there live as collectors so much simpler. --DREAD--
Awesome view of the 1976 main line and new models. the super chromes six pack exclusives were also available individually only in international markets such as the Japan red box. I do have a blue window black plastic base superchromes super van, but I don't see them much. I also have a magenta jet threat II with basic wheels in a Japan red box, overall very cool look into 1976.
All your information on these hot wheels are so informative, Wished somebody do same type video’s for we beginners starting with the very begining the 1968 sweet sixteen ones, any body? Please? I know lot you veteran collectors have the knowledge, please, share, anybody?
Another excellent video! it's almost crazy how expensive some of these old castings can get, especially in mint condition. The chrome series is really interesting in particular. You can say it's represented by Zamacs somewhat nowadays.Thanks for antoher great presentation.
I'm getting ready to start a UA-cam channel on my blackwalls. I hope some day I have a collection like yours! I don't have that many, but for a 13 year old it's quite a few as I have a couple hundred
Congratulations! When I was your age I had about a couple hundred cars too, only there was no youtube. Keep collecting, and never give away or sell your cars, you'll regret it when your older as many other collectors I have met do. It's a great hobby, for life!
I have a street rodder from a later year as it is black wheel, but the flame details on the passenger side has a brighter yellow and more yellow compared to the other side and what I see in your video.
76 is the best year I think. I got that super chrome mustang stocker for $45 in near mint a couple weeks ago. I couldn’t hit buy fast enough. Spectacular deal imho.
I am pretty sure the Mooneyes logo was also on older playsets from 1973 or '74, but I'd have to look into it to be sure. Thanks for watching and your question!
I have two excellent condition mighty Mavericks super-clones and I was wondering how much they would be worth, they are in excellent condition! Redline.
Great video! Some guides say the metal base Khaki Kooler came out in 1977, not 1976. This would make sense, as the blackwall Khaki Koolers have a metal base. What do you think?
Hello there im Alex greetings from Richmond California, i know you are a very knowledgeable person when it comes to Hot Wheels variations and was wondering if you can help me out with this car i just bought but didn't find info online. Thanks !
1976 has so many great new castings. But this period is smited with the same blight that affects all the main brands in this year. It's a good lesson in the evolution of these castings. At this time Barbie was holding up the majority of Mattels industries. Factory closures in the UK 77-78 saw the end of Hotwheels cars in the shops for a while till the mid 1980s.
I had the army gun bucket halftrack , aww shoot tank and gun slinger jeep but not the van or 442 are these the 5 that came together in a pack ? or were they ever sold separately ?
That is awesome! Wish I had that opportunity around here, but alas I might be taking toys from kids if I did that... the good cars still need to be rescued, so it's definitely worth the look though!
Great question! I have recorded the sale prices of these Hot Wheels as they come up on eBay. I have a very large Excel database which I have maintained over the past seven years of the prices I observed, as well as a way to record the Hot Wheels in my collection, which ones I still need to buy, and how much I have invested in my collection to date. Since I upgraded my collection several times from "played with" to "good condition" and then attempted mint to near mint, I needed to remember how much the cars typically sold for so that I could confidently bid on them to the prices required when mint examples came up.
The best collection on UA-cam! Love the info on the castings and value! Congrats on 200 vids my friend 👻
GHOSTJERKER I agree. I am more of a blackwall fan but I watch ur vids as well

wtffor I have multiple thousands of cars, many are in the package. However, I have a couple hundred blackwalls
I have a street rodder from a later year as it is black wheel, but the flame details on the passenger side has a brighter yellow and more yellow compared to the other side and what I see in your video.

Nice!! That is a fantastic deal!!!
This is my goal. All 1976. So far I have a terrible condition rock buster. Lol.
That was awesome!
Great video
Thanks for the great info
Very nice video! Keep going!
Is the Rockbuster the first appearance of the Mooneyes logo in a hotwheels? That chrome poison pinto with the Japanese box is crazy awesome!
I am pretty sure the Mooneyes logo was also on older playsets from 1973 or '74, but I'd have to look into it to be sure. Thanks for watching and your question!
I have two excellent condition mighty Mavericks super-clones and I was wondering how much they would be worth, they are in excellent condition! Redline.
great!
すごい！
Very cool thanks
I only have 2 blackwall versions of super chromes and no redline chromes. I do have some of the 1979 gold chrome ones

That's a good point, I suppose we never will know for sure
Muito bom!!!!
Very good!!!!
How difficult was it to get entire 1976 collection that's the year I was born and would love to have the entire year
Hello there im Alex greetings from Richmond California, i know you are a very knowledgeable person when it comes to Hot Wheels variations and was wondering if you can help me out with this car i just bought but didn't find info online. Thanks !

I had the army gun bucket halftrack , aww shoot tank and gun slinger jeep but not the van or 442 are these the 5 that came together in a pack ? or were they ever sold separately ?
Does anyone else have an original 1969 Heavy Chevy from the year 1967.
YOU ARE AWESOME ,,,, I go the the GOODWILL BINZ .I get about 30 every time I go...They charge by the pound.....
That is awesome! Wish I had that opportunity around here, but alas I might be taking toys from kids if I did that... the good cars still need to be rescued, so it's definitely worth the look though!
My second viewing of this video, and just noticed the Moon Eyes on the Cool One. Do you know if this is the first instance of that marking?
Can you tell me where you bought the plastic boxes from on your wall? Would love to buy some.
You missed 1976 57 chevy,
I have one !
Does it matter to collectors and value if a car was made in Hong Kong?
I have a green twinmill2 from 1976
where do you get your prices?
Great question! I have recorded the sale prices of these Hot Wheels as they come up on eBay. I have a very large Excel database which I have maintained over the past seven years of the prices I observed, as well as a way to record the Hot Wheels in my collection, which ones I still need to buy, and how much I have invested in my collection to date. Since I upgraded my collection several times from "played with" to "good condition" and then attempted mint to near mint, I needed to remember how much the cars typically sold for so that I could confidently bid on them to the prices required when mint examples came up.
wtffor You should write a hotwheels collectors guidebook.
Hold up the formula 5000 was only in a 6 pack? I have a bw version. Same issue?
I believe the Blackwall version of the 5000 may have been in single packs, but I'll confirm before my next video, which will feature that car.
I have the metal base kaki cruiser.
Whats the best way to buy p917?
probably ebay if you need it quickly
Just found a chrome red line stingray in near mint condition. So happy to have found it! 😃 So so happy!
What about t toller black basic Hong kong
SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON !!
I have on roaddster with a metal engine
The LOW DOWN is 100% A CHEVY MONTE CARLO NEVER A FORD EVER !!!
YES, you are correct!!!
Hello my friend, another AWESOME video! If you get a chance, check out my latest video featuring redlines at a local thrift store.
