Furai hotwheel

Just found this at Walmart for $1.50 CAD! I think they're gonna be worth something someday!

Also a pic of a DMC12 hotwheel I found (American Express edition)...also very cool...

I was prepared... I bought 2 of em. My son will destroy it eventually...

I actually found an old Skyline hotwheel that I have at a market today and they were selling it for $35 in the box. I remember I bought that for $0.89 8 years ago. Looks like I found myself a new hobby!

Oh trust me...you do not want to start unless you plan to spend a lot of time and money on it. It's insane what some people go through.

Yeah collecting hotwheels is surprisingly expensive, saying they are a dollar (US) a piece.. lol i have been collecting them my whole life. I only have a few hundred unopened ones but i have well over a thousand opened ones. Just a few tips if you start collecting, anything with any number of wheels besides 4 wheels (motorcycles, planes, boats trucks etc etc) or red lined wheels pick up. Those are what really turn collectible, and not to go too in depth but anything wrong is rare too. I have a few that have mispainted wheels, wrong size wheels etc. Sorry about the length I dont know too many people who collect hotwheels

They are very rarely only a dollar and those are the newer cars. In terms of truly collecting I'm talking about all die cast cars. Plus, with every new series that comes out, that's about 250 cars, plus all the special cars made. You can drop some serious cash.

This photo was taken 6 years ago. I need to setup a new one.
