Hotwheels

[Flex]

So I have been half assing colelcting Hotwheels for a while now, but recently I jumped into the deep hole and now I am screwed! Anyone else collecting some? What exactly are you collecting, and how are you displaying them? Will post pics of mine soon

I never got the appeal of collecting these honestly, never really been a collector of things. What's the appeal for you @Flex? Is it or potential future profit or nostalgia or something else?

Also collecting @Flex. Display is a Board with plastic H-strips mounted to the wall. Will also post some pics later on.

I collect mainlines, and over the last few months have got some premiums as well. Have not bought any in a while as my board is now full lol. my gf picked up some Long cards for me from the states as well

I don't collect per say. I have display shelf and busy figuring out one for my premiums as I have around another dozen or so premiums that aren't on the display. So will be setting up a premium only display at some point. I don't buy many cars as I generally only buy cars I'm interested in and not for the value,, but I've gotten into customizing some cars for friends (like making 1:1's of their actual cars etc.).

Here is my office shelf (all mainlines with a mix of some cars from my youth - rs200 etc.)

One I recently did for a friend. Took 'n neonriders Focus RS and turned it into his ST:

Glad you found the link!

I love cars and collecting stuff. They also make for awesome display pieces.
I do have an issue of getting into too many hobbies, and not just dipping my toe, but going full out. So I am already hunting for Treasure Hunt cars and so on.

Love the color coded display. Great idea for ones out of packaging!

So mine, not much. First real riders I got recently on the left, Mandalorian series. Made my first display rack myself, but the "industrial strength" double sided tape came crashing down, and about 20 cars broke out of the packaging.

Here's my display system. Currently only have 1 set of 5 cars at the moment on display, with more to come shortly

Basically just 3d printed I beams. The friction is enough to keep them together without the need for a backing board. I can send the STL file to anyone who wants it
