johnson Posted November 29, 2018 Share Yeah I love them ! I Love anything car related. I Actually make a living as an automotive engineering technician. I'm not bothered to collect every single one, I only buy the ones I like. This is a old pic from about a year ago. There has been a couple of new ones since then. I'll see if I can find some time over the weekend to get them all out for a new pic. gummibear, Sidersky, Pieter-za and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCreamMan Posted November 29, 2018 Share Was Inc toy shop with lad earlier...and what I see ... Hot wheels here around 3 pounds each, some models on special around 1.50. The Star Wars models are around 6 quid which is lotta loot but I guess licensing is the issue, Gen, Sidersky, Fruity and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted November 29, 2018 Share That will never work for me, buying and keeping in the packaging...It’s how it increases in value, like comics in plastic, never been read or opened are worth more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted November 29, 2018 Share It’s how it increases in value, like comics in plastic, never been read or opened are worth moreI know, but its too clinical for me. I like a bit of emotional value... or in the car game they call it provenance. Fruity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stefmeister Posted November 30, 2018 Share No Hotwheels. I like the bigger 1/18 scale cars - detail is amazing. The 2 in my office; gummibear, Sidersky, Fruity and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleming Posted November 30, 2018 Share My 5 year old son has quite a few. Some hotwheels, some matchbox and some really cheap copies but he loves them all. I must admit I love playing cars with him. Also have some tracks with loops and jumps, etc. A while ago he and I built this display stand: RocknRolla, Piston ZA, Allrounder and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember how many I had, but it would be rad if I still had them, especially if my wife and I have a son next, that's IF we try for a second child. gummibear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
