That skyline touge road model is ace. Surprisingskoda nice collection. Can you take a picture of the blue escort cosworth and thd black police car next to it they look cool and the silver Anglia.
Does anyone just buy certain models? I buy only Japanese cars or else I would just keep on buying everything old and cool. I make exceptions though. If something like a caddy comes up or a nice e30 I will buy something like that. If anyone has any Japanese collections lets see some pics. I will try and get mine all together and get a few snaps.
Does anyone have a complete favourite model. Mine has to be mad manga. Got a couple of colour variants of it but I just think the model is ace.

I fancied another car real car alongside the Audi. But my bank balance said no. But if I added up what I've spend on hot wheels over the last month, it would pay the monthly insurance on another real car. I've got to start limiting myself to 1 or 2 hot wheels per week, instead of 10.

I need a bit of advice guys , I know most of the Hotwheels fans on here only collect cars and vans but I used to collect Hotwheels motorcycles in the 90's. I used to collect tinplate motorcycles but started with Hotwheels when I was working in the USA around 1994 / 96 then I used to get them sent over when a pal could find them at toyfairs.
A lot of them didn't cost too much but some of them cost $25+ as they were bought from a Hotwheels specialist and I guess I still have about 60 / 70 in various boxes ( probably more )
my question is how best to sell them ?
I don't really have the time to deal with most of the ebay idiots so what would you guys do ?

I reckon if you scan through eBay to get an idea of price then try to find a dealer or collector to do a deal with.
Sometimes just searching for a wanted ad will yield a result on a diecast forum or similar.

Also there are a few ,well regulated diecast and or hotwheels pages on Facebook.
And as above there are always dealers about, although you must be willing to accept they will need to buy off you for less than they are worth, to make a profit. However its a quick and easy solution.
Please put up a few photos of them, whatever way you go.

I so very glad that when people say I have some sort of problem, I can show them threads like this one to prove it isn't just me.

older mainline bikes your looking at £1-2 quid each, go carts are usually around the £2.50 mark, the cop rod probably around £4 at the moment.
Hotwheels collecting has really taken off in the uk,when I started years ago you be looking at couple of thousand listings on ebay, today nearer 30 thousand. lots of guys importing us real riders stuff and making a healthy profit out of it.
Prices quoted are what I would expect to pay, but if you ebay remember to build in your listing,posatge, final value and paypal fees to your price. Short of that sell them as a job lot,
Unimog is a corgi cross over model, a nice one.

I went to halfords today to get a power bank for my phone. I had just paid for it and I was on my way out when my missus shouted me back. As we were going she had noticed a huge display full of Hotwheels. We spent about 15 minutes emptying the huge display onto the floor. There were a lot I hadn't seen before, but I picked my favourite 4 and my lass wanted the Mario one. I got a real shock at the till, just short of £10 for 5  |

Has anyone else managed to find the 'leap year' car yet ? I've hunted around Grimsby but had no luck yet !!! Also asda are doing hotwheels Easter eggs, so if you find a car in an Easter egg that you want just help it fall out and replace it with another off the shelf  !! |

I managed to go shopping without the other half this week so managed to add another 15 to my collection! Morrisons had pitiful stock, still came out with 2, Poundland next door came up trumps though, 8 and most of them ones I don't have yet (I have so many I lose track easily, my duplicates box is filling fast!) Tesco and Sainsbury added 2 more each but I go there every week so have sorted through it lots already. I've been finding it harder to get them at supermarkets though, real hit and miss. Shelves haven't been restocked or it's gone completely then you find the big bin on an aisle end Think I'm up to 300+ now |

My asda in northants is very poor, bets place for having fresh stock is B&M and home bargains !!! |

I just went to B & M yesterday. They normally have a lot of single cars, yesterday they only had about 4. In their place were lots of the 5 packs and I never like the cars in those.
