Re: Blast from the past..the toys you used to play with

Great collections. I just picked up all my old hot wheels from my parents house. A couple hundred total and a bunch of 1/43(ish) scale trucks & cars. I was going to give them to my son, but there are a few I'm gonna keep. Also in the box was a 73-75 Blazer Tonka sized truck. The tops missing and it has some surface rust, but it's not too bad.

Before you pass along the hotwheels, check to see that none of them are hundred or thousand dollar cars!! Lots of the early ones are worth bank especially rare colors, PINK especially, now I know no self respecting man child played with a pink hotwheels, but they are worth bank!

He`s right about the values AND the pink cars.They are usually in the best condition .I know mine would be in unplayed with condition.That or painted.





The yellow one isn`t old.My son painted the yellow and black when he was 8 or 9.

^See that Mustang?That is my original toy from when they came out.I only got one because I thought it was cool.I had Matchboxes but was a little older by the time they came out.
