Recent Hotwheels scores

 Walmart! It expands up to 22" wide and less than $13...

Yesterday I picked up an Audi Quattro at WM with a few other cars.

This one I think:

I hope I never have the desire to buy a $5.47 Hotwheels car ever again.

It feels weird, right?  But when you look at the cost of other miniatures and collectables it's actually super inexpensive.

And I guess it is cheap wall art.  

One group I got when I was back home in Michigan last month...

polizei m3

and some RTR 67 or 68 mustang

Got this one for Christmas from my older sister. Pretty nice gift.

Snagged this at $5 Below.

Found a GT3 Bentley to go with the AMG I found at a Publix while on vacation.

Good call on the shelf! I got one from Amazon.

There's a few pics of how people display their cars, but can I get some more please?

I only have 30ish cars, but they're just laid out on a table in the basement still in their packaging.  Something keeps me from opening them. It's not like they will ever be worth much no matter how long I keep them, so I feel I should open them and put them in a wall case or something.  Idea's / suggestions?

In reply to Adrian_Thompson (Forum Supporter) :

Most of mine are on a corkboard in their packaging because they would gather loads of dust if they were opened and out on a shelf. The one that are opened live in a shoe box and rotated on my desk.

I've seen some wall mounted cases that are acrylic with individual cubbies and a big cover that goes over everything.

Durp.  That's perfect.

So, not many, but this is why I was asking about display, they are just clutter right now.  I"ve got a sort of Porsche, Volvo, Land Rover and Mini collection going on.

This is my set up described in the last post. If you're going to keep them packaged, cork board + thumb tacks = easy button.

Ah ha!  That's it.  Thanks 

saw these online and had to order them...

Hobby lobby is stocking those majorette.

Those are great. How much do they sell for in stores?

I have a hard time finding the Majorette stuff after toys-r-us went out of business... our hobby lobby is super slow to restock. So, I bought the set through target... seemed reasonably priced: Link to target page

6.99, but hb always has the 40% coupon
