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.

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.

Thats me also, it seems like everytime I go into the store I always leave with a couple.

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.

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"

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.
