Recent Hotwheels scores

$200 is silly money for a 1 of 6000 hot wheels car.

this was considerably less, I was in a meeting the day it sold so I grabbed one yesterday for about $10 more than they originally sold for with shipping. Ok.

Dude. That's gorgeous. I let my RLC membership lapse since I had so much trouble getting the website to work during sales. Pieces like that one make the question my decision.

Been a member since the beginning, 2001 or so and I can't let it lapse. Seems to be getting better for me but the muscle car guys are peeved.

I can and understand why their mad. It's kinda hard to please everyone and plus they just had the voting for the next RLC cars.

It's interesting, the voting for selections cars was (still live right now)

(1) convoy custom vs drag bus with convoy custom winning 

(2) 41 willys gasser vs the 300sl Mercedes with the willys winning

(3) 67 camaro vs 72 Torino with the Torino winning

(4) Lamborghini Countach vs r34 skyline with lambo winning

The traditionalists are not going to win, a drag bus or a camaro would have won for the first 15 years of the club but now they've pulled in another entire demographic that has zero interest in camaros. Interested to see which they put against which next but I see the Willys or the Lambo winning it all. I don't have the willys at hand but the quality on these are astounding

In reply to chandler :

By the way pm'd you

I thought the voting is a nice touch (my first year as a RLC member.

In reply to Volksrodden :

You want to sell me those two Fords?!?!?

In reply to Javelin (Forum Supporter) :

I will look into seeing if I can get anther case of them in. I have the Ford's sold off to a buddy of mine 

In reply to Volksrodden :

I like the 300 SL and the GT ones. Any idea when they will hit stores?

In reply to Aaron_King :

I am thinking they would be coming out in June. The delivery date I was given was June 4th

Some close ups of the 300SL and Euro Hauler:

And the one you guys knew I had to have, the MOON EYES Beetle and Hauler:

I was doing some wheel swaps today for a friend and while digging through my extras box I found

ten of them in there. Haha

Wait, how many cars are in your collection?

Not something I want to know! Once when I counted I quit at 10,000 and I wasn't in very far.

Oh man, finally more Ford team transporters. I gotta spend some of my COVID bucks on those.

In other 1/64th scale news, I recently acquired this classic SPAM Nascar Thunderbird.

Turns out the local Dollar Tree stocks some Matchbox and Hot Wheels

May I get some advice or direction from you knowledgeable Hot Wheels folks?   I have most of my collection from my childhood in the 60’s and 70’s.   Lots of redline stuff.   All well loved and none packaged.  What are some good resources to get some idea of value of these?    

Thanks!
