View Full Version : Anyone collect Hotwheels?
Mr Big Nasty 03-24-2010, 03:29:45 PM So does anyone in here collect/trade/sale HotWheels?
I collect cars and it is a hobby of mine and buy/sell all the time. Does anyone else have this as a hobby.

canadianzed 03-25-2010, 07:34:41 PM Got about 5-6 hundred unopened in a box somewhere in the basement, from 10+ years ago, haven't bought any lately.
m_melen 03-25-2010, 08:18:32 PM i've only got 1 hotwheel right now. it's a hotwheel of my actual car, and i keep it in my toolbox at work

ps- it's pronounced "zee", not "zed" haha. i got such a hard time for saying zee when i lived in montreal
dirtplay1975 03-26-2010, 02:05:03 AM well not sure if it would be a hobby or addiction, Ive got in the neighborhood of a thousand plus hotwheels and other manufacturers etc, in both open and un opened conditions. I can never seem to go to a store without crusing the hotwheels isle and typically picking up one or two I like. I go for the musclecar/old cars/kustoms categories, I basically buy what I like and if I really like it at least two, that way I can open one and keep other sealed haha.

Want to sell them?

Thats me also, it seems like everytime I go into the store I always leave with a couple.
79supergasdriver 03-28-2010, 02:39:15 AM I'm having a hard time finding a nice 3rd gen and early 4th gen. Seems everyone jumped on the new "concept" Camaro. I got a cool shelf that looks like the nose of a '74 Z28 and want to put an example of each "evolution" of Camaro on it.
cadmanmeg 03-28-2010, 08:10:22 AM I have quite a few extra diecast Camaro's from various manufacturers if you need some. Feel free to shot me an email or PM if interested.
Mr Big Nasty 05-28-2010, 09:48:34 AM Any one find anything new?
joe-balls 05-28-2010, 11:15:34 AM ps- it's pronounced "zee", not "zed" haha. i got such a hard time for saying zee when i lived in montreal
it might be pronounced zee but that sounds gay so i'll stick to saying zed it sounds more manly lol.
"come on girls lets go take a ride in the zee" or "hey dude, lets go for a rip in the zed"
Bill81 05-28-2010, 01:28:35 PM Want to sell them?
I have just over 500 hotwheels. All unopened and yes I would love to sell them. pm me
I also have a variation of nascar and nhra stuff in all sizes I have been trying (well not a very good job at trying) to sell for awhile now.

An addiction for me...not Hot Wheels, but every other type of diecast. I few pics from my office..

speedfreak1000 05-29-2010, 06:14:03 AM very nice collection you got there Mike
thepostaljester 05-29-2010, 10:19:10 PM that a lot of Jada stuff. Very nice. I could never find the Hummer of the military hot rods.
thepostaljester 05-29-2010, 10:29:13 PM as for the 79Z, your best bet will be the Camaro Z-28. HW didn't make a year specific model. South Texas Diecast has a great pictorial listing of all things hot wheel.

This is the most recent 2nd gen carded release from 2007.
