Hot Wheels (for a change)

I see some nice stuff in there! The 40 Ford 3
Window coupe and the Willys 5 window are cool but that Forza Horizon is awesome! It has a serious Cobra Daytona look to it.
My daughter recently unearthed my old Hot Wheels from when I was a kid and I noticed that I have very similar interests today. Primarily cars from roughly the late 1920s to about 1950, with an emphasis on pre-WW2 vehicles. I have some that might’ve been desirable if they weren’t in played with condition but I’m not a collector, so my kids play with them now!

But yeah, Hot Wheels are still pretty darn cool.

You might be surprised, if they are genuinely old ones from the 60's/70's even in played with condition they can still be worth a few bob or so I hear, especially if they are the ones with the original 'real rider' (rubber) tyres and the red rims.  Of course in mint conditiion they would be worth far more, but nonetheless the older the more valuable or so I read on the forums

I like the HW Flames 5 car set.

Yeah I always have a bit of a soft spot for cars with the flames down the side and tend to pick them up when I see them if I don't have them

Nice haul Nigels

Even though the prices over here for the multiple sets I always had an aversion to them because they always had a couple I really liked but all the rest I wasn't interested in. Almost like they threw some of the least popular sellers.

Super, I know exactly what you mean, I often think they put the over-stocks in the selection boxes to clear them as you always get at least one or two that you hate lol! But at the same time you often get some really nice ones in the packs as well, so the cost sort of evens out as the ones I don't want I can pass on to the nephews etc...

But at the price they are at the moment 2 for £15 they are a steal even if you don't like some of the cars and of course make a change from buying in blisters as sometimes you can't find the ones you want on blisters as all the cool stuff has been snaffled by little jonny who will then proceed to destroy them as kids do lol! Also you sometimes get the odd one in these boxes that you might have passed over in blisters, but once you handle them and look at them appreciate them a lot more - a bit like the little porsches in two of those boxes, one in red the other in a cream colour (bottom middle in the boxes)...
