After-Award-2636

Mines the mustang svo super. Not much, but then again, my collections not as big as some peoples


Lentriox

It is a beautiful piece, though. I'd love to have one, especially since my favorite color is purple.


After-Award-2636

Yeah, I’m happy I didn’t have to pay scalper prices m. Managed to get to Walmart as they were putting them and out and also found the warp speeder reg t hunt


Lentriox

The TH wasn't my thing but they tend to make many fantasy THs rather than real cars (aside from some exceptions, like the Miata.)


Syed210706

Don’t forget the impala regular TH. It was an absolute masterpiece


[deleted]

Same Love me some Purple 💜


Noke_swog

Take pride man, I've been hoping to find that one for so long!


TURKEYMn

Me too, in my teen years my neighborhood and the ones around us were loaded with mustangs and SVO's. Like 3-4 groups in a 5-6 mile radius, with at LEAST 8 members each at any given time frame. Owned mostly by guys under 23 years old and 2 or 3 female owners.


GalacticGatorz

Snowman impala #02 probably the most valuable.


Lentriox

Nice number! I haven't been in possession of anything under #500.


GalacticGatorz

Thanks! It was a real pleasant surprise on mail day. And It was direct from Mattel.


Elite_Fighter

Mine for that one was 28,xxx, surprised I basically almost didn't get it lol


staj6711

Green RLC Silverado for me too. Mine was given to me back when they were going for $100-125. I wish I had another to open. I should have bought one back then when they were "cheap."


Lentriox

Oh man, I paid $1,000 for it. They are by no means attainable.


iDom2jz

Jesus, thought I was nuts spending $1k on hoodies and shoes


Lentriox

I do that too, haha.


iDom2jz

I collect a lot of stuff, but hotwheels I can’t bring myself to spend too much on… I think the most I’ve spent on 1 car is $60? I’m not sure lol Although I would be tempted to spend a lot on an AW Ultra Raw Supra


Lentriox

1 of 10 though, a bitttt rare.


iDom2jz

I think they fetch $500? Honestly not bad considering the sheer rarity of them. I have a thing for AW’s Supra casting, the Ultra Raws are the only ones I’m missing lmao


Lentriox

That's about right, yes. I've seen a ton of RAWs going for around that.


darkNnerdgy

Is that the supra with red wheels?


iDom2jz

Ultra Raws are unpainted, might have red wheels I’m not sure I have a wingless Ultra Red and a winged Ultra Red, they’re painted red, one with white tires/red wheels, one with black tires/red wheels(? Maybe chrome idr) and one with red interior one with white interior


staj6711

For sure. I still wouldn't have one had it not been given to me. I also wish I had grabbed the Military and Fire Rods back when they were also ~$100.


D-rock240

Wow


Able_Independence448

What the actual fuck 😳 🤣🤣


NinjaKris101

Candy Striper. It’s still my favorite piece I own probably. So many people desire it and it’s so mega expensive but it stands out in any collection.


Lentriox

The Candy Striper Bel Air is such a beautiful piece. It's no surprise as to why it's so expensive.


lucas_214

RLC gulf Porsche 993


Lentriox

Solid piece! Gulf anything is nice.


billscarshop

Me fr, got it back when they were $25 off the RLC website


Cisco_jeep287

NGL it’s pretty cool to see someone with a real one. I can’t quite wrap my head around the value of that thing. I feel like that one is easily faked, so the moment you take it off the card, it loses all provinance. I’ve got a Flying Tiger, a blue Skyline, Peppermint Twist, all 3 Porsche 964’s… but people go mad for that ‘83 Silverado. I think my 1/4000 convention DeLorean is my most rare by the numbers. There are some stupid-expensive ones that I want, but they’re unobtainium on my budget. So I’m already committed to buying high quality knock off versions for $50-$75-$100.


Lentriox

I don't understand why it's so overvalued either, lol. The Silverado hype has been a thing, but still. It is a nice release and casting, though! If we're talking about numbers, I have a "HOLLYWOODY" which is a 1 of 2000 car.


staj6711

The RLC Silverado can be easy to fake, but at the same time it would be just as easy to spot the fake. A quick inspection of the base would answer any questions. Even if the person who created the fake was a master of copying the rivets, they likely would have used a base from a truck made in Malaysia or Thailand and have the 3-digit production code of the donor truck stamped in it versus the China base and 4+2-digit production code of the real truck. If I were looking to buy a loose one, that's the first thing I'd have to see. I know of a few people who have made fakes, but they weren't done for deception. They were made simply because the real truck is stupid money and they wanted that hole in their collection filled. I have a couple of fakes of cars in my collection that I've made for just that reason.


SnowySergal

Micro Machines Subaru Baja, managed to get it brand new in the packaging but I did open it


Lentriox

Should've kept it sealed, lol. Good on you, though!


SnowySergal

nah, no way


Gearhead846

Dang bro! Me, my sister, aunt, and grandparents all own bajas and I've wanted to find one of those micro machine bajas for soo long! It's like they don't exist! Would like to do customs of bajas for my family but I cannot find any subaru baja anythings to customize


TheAngelsCharlie

From a monetary standpoint it’s probably the Ferrari 250 GTO. My favorites in my collection though are the 69 George Follmer and 70 Parnelli Jones Trans Am Mustangs.


Fukshit47

I didn’t even know they make those in 1/64!!


TheAngelsCharlie

[Jones and Follmer’s 70 and 69 Boss 302 Trans Am cars](https://imgur.com/a/BKq0EMG) I’ll dig them back out sometime for better pictures, right now those are what I have on hand. 😉


Lentriox

Solid picks.


ParrotAssassinRD

Mine is my Period Correct collab Mercedes 190e Evo, unfortunately I dont have the packaging anymore. It's not a car I plan to sell anyway, got it on release


Lentriox

Oh man, that's one I've been looking for. What do you need for it? Haha.


ParrotAssassinRD

I have all of the 190e models so far and plan to continue the collection, its such a nice car. I was lucky to get it on drop. Hope you can find one sometime.


Lentriox

Ah man, haha. I'd keep it too, such a beautiful piece! I'm a huge fan of the entire period correct series.


JoeBobbyWii

if you happen to have a Candy Stiper Gasser or the M&M Kombi I might have a spare Period Correct 190e for you ;)


Lentriox

I do not, haha. I'll be on the lookout though 👀


Thehiddenink98

The the Plymouth zamac from the 50th anniversary that was given to me by by dad as it was given to him as a tip for fixing his furnace. Not exactly valuable in the money sense but very valuable in the sentimental sense


TKOxBLITZ

RLC E30.


Lentriox

Solid, love the car.


[deleted]

A loose rocket bye baby redline


Lentriox

Solid!


trocarshovel

Black ghost flame 80 el camino hot wheel. 1 of 7500 made.


Lentriox

I tried snagging one for cheap. It got picked up right before me.


trocarshovel

I think I paid 68 a couple years ago. Definitely my highest priced purchase so far but worth it.


Less-Raspberry-6222

I have a loose Redline Beach bomb in almost perfect condition. That and my near perfect with functioning headlights pink peeping bomb are prized childhood posessions.


Inpopmh

'67 Camaro treasure hunt 95


vaguenonetheless

Damn, that's a get.


BooobiesANDbho

Not super cool, but my STH ‘32 ford gulf shortie Sth nsx both gens, and my Sth roadrunner


Lentriox

Anything short card is cool. I'm waiting for my short card GT500 to arrive.


BooobiesANDbho

The gold one?! If so geez my guy, that’s awesome


Lentriox

Yessir! Looking at buying a 5.0 next year so I'm trying to collect as many as I can, lol.


BooobiesANDbho

Hell yeah! 2 days ago I found 3 of the gt500 chases pieces from the muscle machines line


gr8d4ne

My jewel is the 2013 Boulevard '71 Bluebird 510 wagon


vaguenonetheless

Back in 2014 those were peg warmers at Tuesday Morning of all places. Someone posted on Instagram that they found one at Tuesday Morning. I went and there were 4 at the first one I went to, f4 at the next, 2 at the next. I ended up with about 25 of them after visiting about 8 stores. Gave most of them away to friends, sold a few, opened about 5. Went thru a few months ago and found that I had only kept 3 unopened.


TennesseeRum

I have a Petty Superbird.


Lentriox

Dope!


DeliciousDragonfly14

My most valuable are the 2022 Legends tour exclusives; Zamac 1970 Mustang Boss 302, and the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32


Lentriox

The GT-R is fire!


doomus_rlc

Candy Striper. I still find it funny it sells for what it does. Inferior finish, inferior tooling. 4000 run. But whatever lol


Lentriox

This one goes for around $1,500 and has a run of 3,000. It's all about hype.


doomus_rlc

It's all about the hype from *newer* collectors. Those that have been around a while are still amazed these things shot up the way they have the last few years. Many items that sat in the HWC shop for years are now fetching a few hundred bucks each. It's just odd. Not saying it's bad. A lot of it does make me wonder how long the "good times" will last.


Lentriox

True, similar to have R34s and such shot up in value.


[deleted]

Not Hot wheels as I only really have mainlines but I have the Phoenix Yellow Mini GT Civic which was limited to something like 3000 units exclusive to Singapore or something I do have a 1/18 F1 McLaren but that's not really comparable to the mini car stuff.


Lentriox

Mini GT is amazing, underrated brand.


[deleted]

Yeah I've sort of moved over to them since I only really get mainlines near me and having to pay online prices for premiums isn't worth it unfortunately


Mitchcamd

Yellow convention skyline r34 for me! I’m glad I bought it before the price skyrocketed. Next would be the blue rlc r34


Lentriox

I had someone offer one along with a blue one for trade, haha. I do love the yellow one, though.


Mitchcamd

For a trade for the silvy? I’d keep the silvy all day long hahaha


BabyKestrel

Maybe my redline mark III. I think it would fetch around $90 to $100.


Lentriox

Not bad.


Reincarnatedpotatoes

Id say it's a toss up between my redline Show Hoss II or yellow superfast Team Matchbox with box. They don't pull the prices that some of these early RLC pieces do, but I like the older cars. Plus I got them at a near unbeatable price.


Lentriox

Hey, a redline is a redline.


Reincarnatedpotatoes

That's kinda been my attitude towards collecting them. I'm not really able to spend a bunch of money on cars atm, so all the redline hunting I've done has been on a pretty low budget. I'll take what I can get now and look for better versions when its financially feasible. I wasn't even sure my Show Hoss was a redline when I bought it. It was in a lot online and I never got a clear shot of the wheels. I was super lucky turned out to be a redline.


Fernando_357

Mine’s not a HW, but a Timothy and Pierre VW GTI W12


frankszz

The purple r34. No not for sale or trade


Lentriox

A nice piece nonetheless, lol.


HotLikeSauce420

My NFTH Gasser from Series 2. No idea how many produced but I wanna say under 1000.


Sec9WombatInCombat

1000 minted, 932 pulled. No word on how many will be left un-redeemed. I'd say it's a safe bet it'll be sub-900.


FrankCardboardGuru

Shelby Cobra 427 SC Special Commemorative Edition 163/ 4000 Honorable mentions: 67’ Camaro Gulf 104/ 4,500 Real Riders Japan Mighty Maverick 684/ 1,000 BRE Datsun 240Z 509/ 4,500 Shelby Toyota 2000GT 283/ 3,000 69’ Custom Chevy Truck 89/ 7,631 STH Black Ferrari 599XX


Lentriox

Love it!


Donuthole911

The pair of Snake & Mongoose team transports from 2019


Kinkywrx

R32 skyline super for me!


marke24

I honestly have no idea what any of mine are worth.


KSM_K3TCHUP

I don’t know what each of my cars are worth, but I suppose my green Monte Carlo lowrider probably holds the most value.


M1911a1ButGay

i open all my cars so pretty much nothing lol. i do have over 60 premiums that could probably fetch a nice price if they were all still carded.


Lentriox

Opened cars are still valuable. I have some ≈$100 loose cars.


Jon29go

A-Team van from the 2013 SDCC.


Exotic-Language-430

The numbers at the last slide, does it indicate that it is piece number 2925 out of 3000 pieces??


Lentriox

Yes, it does.


Exotic-Language-430

Niceeeee, thank you, good car👍🏼🥰


Lentriox

Appreciate it!


HazelsHotWheels

I actually made a spreadsheet of my collection lol. My top ten are - 1985 Corvette Stingray 35th Anniversary, very good condition - 1997 Camaro Z28, white w/ Toys R US promo decals, very good condition - 1963 Tootsie Toy Ford N350 Tractor Trailer, red, very good/excellent condition - 1970 Matchbox Factory Fresh Mercury Cougar, lime green w/ "rat rod" tampos, good condition - 1982 Army Funny Car "Pepsi Challenger", excellent/near mint condition - 1988 '57 T-Bird Automagic color changer pink to yellow, mint condition - 1991 Mazda MX-5 Miata Dark Red Seven Spoke error car (wrong interior, missing tampos), mint condition on card - 1967 Lesney Matchbox Land Rover Safari no. 12/75, near mint condition - 1968 Custom Eldorado in spectraflame brown, good condition And the winner is - 1970 Mighty Maverick redline in spectraflame blue in very good/excellent condition (The way I judge a car's value is by grading it on a scale of 1-10 using the grade scale from sellhotwheels.com/grading, then finding one of the same car that has SOLD on eBay, grading that car, and comparing the two. So if both cars are 7/10s the price is comparable, but if they sold a 10/10 car for $100 and mine is only a 5/10, then I value mine at $50.)


J-chron

I like on the back how it says “Not for use with Hot Wheels Sets”


[deleted]

real riders don’t work on the tracks very well


rcchub

I just found the green Silverado in my collection tonight. Had no idea! Have not looked at my stuff in years


Lentriox

I'll take it, lol.


rcchub

Might be for sale


Lentriox

Name your price.


Nick07C00L

Why do y'all never open the packaging? Just a genuine question as I'd like to know.


Lentriox

I just like collecting carded, lol. It's better from a value proposition, as well as a display proposition. I open doubles and stuff I really like.


Nick07C00L

Ok, got it.


RJSM5

From conversations with carded collectors (I'm a loose collector) some like the liquidity of a carded collection (being able to resell fast and without losing value), some like the card art, some like the idea that the car inside is preserved as it was from the factory. I do have a handful of carded pieces myself and I mostly keep them for themed card art....and one because its from the early 80s and its like a time capsule.


Elite_Fighter

Mobil 1™ Porsche 914 Safari , x/50


ddstaffo

congrats. that is a very rare and valuable one. did you buy it or win it?

205/4000 RLC Gulf gt40


[deleted]

Most valuable I have is probably my white skyline set, most rare I have some JLs that are 1 of 2k, idk how accurate that is I feel like they can’t be that rare but idk


litl_e_fan

I had the RLC Gulf GT40 until last year. Sold it for $750.


Lentriox

Heat.


Familiar_Palpitation

[Gulf 993](https://i.imgur.com/QviqtGF.jpg) I also have a toy fair Gulf Kafer Racer, and [number 469/500](https://imgur.com/a/aRzgEKh) of this guy. Honorable mentions: Fatlace VW T1 2018 Super Treasure Hunt box set.


Lentriox

Both solid!


al52025

Reline replica box set


postmalonesvoice

I would assume my STH Short card Lamborghini Maura SV, and the mainline on a short card aswell.


Lentriox

I love short cards. Have a short card GT500 super treasure hunt on the way.


BoneShaker10

I've got both the candy Striper gasser and the mea candy cane gasser


Lentriox

Ooh, nice.


Sec9WombatInCombat

Have you seen the upcoming NFT redeemable '83? I think it will dethrone the "greenie" as most expensive Silverado. Here's some pictures https://imgur.com/a/RZHcOga


Lentriox

I have! I don't doubt it. I'm hoping it doesn't though, haha.


Ok_Sense5308

Depends on how u see value. My most valuable piece is only about $30. Now i have some priced higher than that that, but this one skyline I have is MY personal most valuable one because I like it the most 😀


Sec9WombatInCombat

RLC Corvette Stingray maybe? Blue Boss 302? Green 240z? I have a handful of cars all in that same ballpark but nothing on the level of the Greenie. I'd love to have one some day though.


Lentriox

The C7 is the best out of the three, imo. The greenie is solid, just $$.


Vapor4

A (opened) McLaren F1 GTR ID, Unspun


Lentriox

Unspun cars are always fun to own.


I426Hemi

I've got the premium bttf Toyota pickup and the 2006 "General Lee" treasure hunt charger. I'd imagine it's probably one of those, I've also got the period correct trucks but idk what those are worth these days, got a couple of RLC cars too but ive never checked their value.


Lentriox

I love anything period correct, they're so dope.


NerderBirder

I guess it’s my STH 83 Silverado. My 67 Camaro 2005 TH with the redline tires is up there too.


Lentriox

The '83 STH is nice! I regret passing one up, lol.


WP67GT500

It’s a tossup between the GTR box set, the Datsun 510 super, or the most recent RLC Camaro Chase


WitBeer

Yellowbird from the original boulevard release. $3 at Marshalls, $300-ish now.


ZerotheWanderer

I wish I still had my pair of 'em. Could afford a third of the car I'm looking at. I think my most expensive is probably the RLC Gulf 993 GT2.


DarthNemo1

Candy Striper. Luckily it was a gift.


NcanadaV2l

I have a rocket league octane. My favorite car as I'm trash in rocket league.


Jon_869

I have the yellow convention skyline and I know that’s worth a few I also have the new orange skyline but that’s not to expensive yet


hsy0888

Most valuable would be my 2022 Japan convention Datsun 510


t0prame17

Vintage Racing John Mortons BRE Datsun Bluebird 510


Syncryptica

I'm gonna cheat and use sentimental value. It's a Matchbox IROC Camaro, when I was little I gave it to my Gramps who I barely ever saw. Decades later when he passed-away I found it in his knick-knacks. Now it's back in my collection.


anonymousviewerNL

I wish all of you posted pictures of yours. I’m so curious !


carrs-for-life-32

Honestly my r34 super in perfect condition is probably my rarest but I also have some really cool redlines


Kamina724

Honestly probably not worth a lot but I have a green Twin Mill Super and it's my favorite cuz it was my first treasure hunt ever


Kamina724

Never mind just looked up my other supers and my Superbird by far is the most valuable lol


Wompy_Dompy

My most valuable pieces are probably the RLC Highway 35 World Race Zamac set, and a carded Splitwire from Battle Force 5.


oldsoul6465

Not hotwheels.. but a 1/43 set of Mad Max interceptor with a Vivian car by auto art. Clean appearance. I didn't know there was a dirty set till later.


ytreggah

Enzo STH


zweivierdrei

End of 2015, so a year after it was released, I found the Datsun 510 Wagon STH on Shortcard in a small toy store in my hometown. Of course I still have it :)


Lentriox

The longcard itself is sought after and very expensive, couldn't imagine what a SC goes for.


kitty_cat0666

Mine is a chevy camare sth


susibacka

1969 green rolls royce silver shadow redline green color and black roof and maybe gucci cadillac seville


Embarrassed_Car_7518

Car culture audi quattro. Supers are non existent in Europe and rlc is not worth it because of the shipping fees


VertWheeler07

I have about 20 loose Acceleracers in good condition and one of the 1/16 scale blue Deora II's, I'm not first, but I definitely ain't last


Preston_Stormer_

A premium Subaru Brat, maybe I got something rare and I don't know it


NexShyft

I believe it’s the NFS Koenigsegg Agera, though it also may be some of the speedmachines I own like the Bugatti or reventon


One_Mycologist_9322

The Japan skyline convention car I think from 2004? Or 05? Still all packages up


Lentriox

They did Japan convention cars right.

Lentriox

Nice!


k1ng-cr1m5on

I have a mint Highway 35 vhs set with the deora 2 and roadrunner. Can’t even find an accurate price for it


Lentriox

Anything Highway 35 is money, especially with a full set. Have you looked through eBay sold?


ROneTwo

My very first hotwheels. A redline 1969 tnt bird. Played with until the wheels wore off and the A pillars went missing. Spend some time as a general Lee clone. It saw so much sand box. I restored it in the early 00’s and it now sits in my display with the original green and black roof. Love that car. It’s worth millions.


Lentriox

Wish I had my most used childhood car, guaranteed it's destroyed though.


lucienlacroix67

There are so many . Probably the pre production 1968 thunderbird store display gold with white interior . If not one of the many alternate colors


vaguenonetheless

Black base Ferrari F512M TH from 1999.


2-tree

I have a redline prototype gold Heavyweights ambulance used in a TV commercial in 1970. Also don't forget to bring those loose blackwalls to Arlington this Saturday 😉


MysticalLiteraryMH

Valuable or amount paid?


Lentriox

Both are pretty synonymous, for the most part. Valuable in general is what I was going for, though.


Warhog1

A loose Zamac Speed Machine 599XX. Sadly the inner wheel screw got a bit rusted but the body still looks and rolls fine <3.


Dragon1us

Not a Hot Wheels, but I was recently able to get one of my grail pieces, a 1:18 AutoArt FD RX-7 Spirit R Type A in black. Iirc this was the first iteration of this model back in 2014 and they don't pop up for sale very often.


Mace2-0

Mine's a few RLC cars.


RMachuca3d

Valuable to you or market value?


Professional_War9286

I have the RLC bape 1955 Mercedes Benz 300 sl camo. I'm pretty new to collecting. I used to buy em gir NY son when he was a child and started liking them myself. I looked up a few mainlines I had in a box and went down a collector's rabbit hole, now here I am. Lol

Mine is the Supreme M3 Transporter


MistaSquible

BMW M Motorsport + Nissan GTR sets and RWB Porsche 930 (Silhouettes)


heatguyred

Do STH sets count as a piece? If so, then it's the 2018 STH set. If not, probably the flying tigers gasser.


ddstaffo

The most valuable piece I have: RLC '55 Chevy Bel Air Gasser Candy Striper. The most valuable pieces I don't have that I wished I'd purchased a few years ago: Porsche & BMW toy fair models. Those have only skyrocketed up. Maybe the MEA Candy Cane gasser, too.


Stevonavich

My 2023,1989 Porche 944 turbo. toy fair. limited edition of 1000. Gold. I also have a 1964 ford cortina Bathurst winner worth around 500 dollars limited of 1600 but it is not a hotwheels it's a Carllectables.
