is anyone else totally into HotWheels

Yep im addicted too. I have hundreds of them. I was born in 1968, but love all old cool stuff, so i started collecting the redlines i could find in good shape used from yard sales when i was around 10. My brother gave me 2 spoilers cars boss hosses. One was chrome. From what i understand the chrome versions of the mustang boss hoss, heavy chevy camaro, and king kuda barracuda were only available thru the hotwheels club at that time back in 1970.

I buy em for my 3 girls, and occasionally an early camaro if i find one for my wife. She loves old muscle cars too. The younger 2 love em, my 14 year old just puts em on a shelf in her room. I will be starting a collection for my 6 month old boy patrick. I just hope he loves this stuff as much as i do.

I probably have over 200 newer ones still in the Package, as well as johnny lightning too. Plus 1/18 scale diecast on glass shelves in my garage. I dont collect every one, just the ones i like. I was trying to collect the classics series ones but it got too crazy.

Rani there is a redline collectors club thru hotwheels, these come in special.RLC packaging, and are club only. You cant buy em in stores. They have the spectraflane paint, and old style 1968 hotwheels mag wheels, along with the thin spring wire axles, tho i doubt you would ever play with these. RLC comes out with a different one i think every 2 months, and RLC members vote on the body, and color it gets made in.

anybody into HO scale slot cars, im addicted to these too. I have a monster collection of restored 1970s aurora A/FX cars and racing rigs. I built a 4 lane slotcar track in my garage. When patrick gets a bit older we will start racing slot cars. I dont play with my restored A/FX cars, just too valuable and the bodys are to brittle from aging. I prefer the new a/fx srt chassis, and lexan bodies.

Plus i love model trains, i have atlas, and rivarossi scale "O"gage. This stuff is really nice, same size as lionel 027 gage, but better detail, quieter running, and scale 2 rail track. When the kids are older i will put it around the christmas tree for all of us to enjoy. My rivarossi 080 steam loco was a plastic O gage kit, with a seperate motorizing kit , i believe this was produced thru 1971. It was a blast to build and motorize, runs like a dream. Smooth n quiet.

Love all my hobbies/addictions lol
