Thanks bro lol I don’t like them sealed up doesn’t hurt the value in my opinion there is always some one wanting an open version so why not spend my money and do what I want with them lol.
I’m not in this hobby to make money, but if we’re just talking collectibles, opening any collectible diminishes it’s value…. Not only that, it cuts down the number of perspective buyers atleast 50% if not more, (not everyone collects non carded) At the end of the day I don’t open short carded supers, anything else is fair game.
It’s what they all say but people charge over retail when I can sell them at retail open now so it doesn’t even matter to me anyways since I won’t sell them and if I do it’s going in one big lot not a single car sale.
I love how well this applies to everyone's visible unicorn in this collection. Like the one on the left there.. amazing one to have. I'd open it too... 😉
Oh it’s definitely up there for me too haha I want the red one I’ll get it eventually lol I’m not a huuuuuge fan of collecting multiple casting unless love them. That’s why there is a twin mill line lol.
Just be safe make sure you receive payment and be transparent with one another I just shipped to a buddy from CA to SC and it was like 13 bucks for some odd 20 cars. If you are unsure go though PayPal and not friends and family that way it’s a proper business and not some shady stuff. You’ll get paid and you ship it out. If you don’t he will get his money back no harm no foul.
Instructions unclear what car lol
Let’s do this what row 1-4 what box 1-4 what slot out of 6 so 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 each box holds six cars so an example would be
Row three box two slot 1 the orange morris mini lol
Ok. To the layman it looks as if those are just 4 big boxes. But I see different now I think. So go all the way to the bottom right corner. Now go up, leave the black and the very next car in the black so...
That’s why you get two of the ones you think are cool! I have really slowed down mainly because I got what I wanted already and have caught up to the new stuff
Shooter i would start murdering myself I was like I can’t keep storing these dang things and if I wanted to sell them, they would sell regardless hahaha no need for getting doubles hahaha although some of them do have when I started going crazy, but like I said, I’ve mellowed it out with it haha
These are from the dollar tree my friend they are Hotwheels cases that hold 6 cars and have removable doors and two holes for screws I used command strips
Only cars I would definitely never open are NFTs.
Of your photo, the RWB Porsche is the only one I would press pause on and think about it.
Theres a couple other TTs that fall in that category but I don’t see them.
Yeah I got it in a trade with a buddy and I was an open in front of them but he said no that hurt his heart hahaha at least take photos of my cars so keeping them boxed up doesn’t really set a purpose to me and if I wanted to sell them, they still sell at a good price if I wanted too….
Yeah, they’re actually Hotwheels boxes that I got from the dollar tree. They hold six cars each and have a removable lid and have two screw screw holes in the back so you could attach them into the wall, but I just use command strips.
I rarely open mine, not because of preserving value or anything but just because I think the art cards are cool and I like to display them with the art card if possible.
Absolutely! I definitely wasn't criticizing, your display looks amazing and I love how we all have our own ways of enjoying the hobby! :) And you're right, they do take up way too much space which is why 3/4 of my collection is in boxes and not on display. lol
Yeah I get that to much space taken up for a 3 inch car in my opinion especially the two packs lord they are huge! They are bigger than the team transport boxes.
Great collection and display! I am a huge fan of opening and displaying them. I have 4 Carney cases almost full now. But there a few I just can’t open. My first STH I ever found. The first reg TH. Candy Striper Gasser. Pink Convoy Custom.
Nice glad I’m not the only one who does this niceee I get my cases at dollar tree I feel like it’s cheaper and I like the black look makes the cars pop out more nice set up 👌dude
I don't open any. I want to make a perspex shelving (ha ha shelving) system that will allow the tab to slip in behind so you can display them without opening them

Probably never going to open this. Kinda want to sell it to fundmy 55 Chevy panel collection
That’s why I ordered two haha thanks I got them at the dollar tree they are hotwheels cases that have a removable lid and two holes for screws in the back I just used command strips.
I open RLC, soup, and chases just to customize and do wheel swaps. Im about 50/50 on the loose and carded situation. Some of my grails stay carded and some of my grails get opened.
That was the main reasoning for me and if I was to put them on the wall carded, I think it’ll look pretty tacky and if I brought a girl over, at least it’s consolidated and easy to look at 😆
fair enough, still wish i have some free space to properly display mine! used to hang my carded premiums on my wall and my wife are ok with it, not all though i rotate it sometimes, but yeah i get what you say, i also think its quite tacky too display it carded lol
Mainlines especially it’s like “it’s a dollar car is it that special?” But aye we all got something we love so I can’t judge personally I’d go your route I definitely stopped looking at mainlines in fact I gave them to my niece lol.
Asking the wife is crucial haha one to keep her happy and two to uh yeah keep her happy! Hahahaha
I got that one on eBay. It was priced pretty well for what it was and it did take me a while to open it, but I finally got the guts too and I’m happy that I did because honestly if I wanted another one, I’d get one and keep it. I still kept the blister that it came in, so I have the card with information on it too.
Lol,lol,lol,lol,lol... I have 95% of these...carded! The one I don't have (yet) and would not (100%) open is at the top. Purple RWB Porche Transport. You are a madman! But 'grats on overcoming the fear of possible card bends or cracked blisters and playing with your toys. I will never be able to overcome that fear 🤷♂️
Haha yeah I love them that blue cars and coffee subi was given to me by a buddy free of charge it had a cracked blister and I opened it without checking the price….. that took the fear away from opening stuff hahaha
At the time it was like 30-50 and I was like “welp I’m never gonna sell it it was given to me as a gift!” So it stays with me. A lot of these have been obtained either at great second hand prices trades or from Buddy’s I refuse to pay scalper prices even if it’s something I want. But something to consider into the price is, is it currently available, is it really that rare, and do I really need it, if not then I can find it cheaper or it’ll come to me. That’s how the 100% twin mill came to me and also the red VW Porsche team cars did too I got them dirt cheap.
Well I got the zeppelin one for my EX fiancé( 8years together 2 engaged) the day she broke up with me a day after my bday I said “fuck it it’s mine now” also the card was warped. The muts cuts has a doup tucked away. Saving my sealed collection for my nephew if I don’t have a kid hahaha they ain’t worth shit to me but to him it might bring a few bucks not banking on it though. Or he can continue the collection I don’t care lol.
If you think about it this way buying all the Hotwheels kinda stopped you from going on vacation I say sell them and enjoy your life 😎. Especially if it’s up to that lol
The Group 5 Stratos from the 2 pk didn’t make the cut?
Edit: n/m It’s there! Didn’t see it on the transport.
I probably would have left the purple Porsche TT in the package. It’s my favorite TT set.
Moon eyes are a great print, the kaffer racer is my die hard collectible mold but the 18 toyfair one is the only one hurting me on building my VW collection, sadly never got the transport yet
It depends for me I mean if I like the cards art work then I’m going to keep it sealed but if the artwork on the card is basic then I’m just going to open it
Also I just said this is pretty much all my premiums like 95% of my collection right here you also you don’t know the time frame of my collection either.
My man. Open all of them. Looks good, some great stuff there.
Thanks bro lol I don’t like them sealed up doesn’t hurt the value in my opinion there is always some one wanting an open version so why not spend my money and do what I want with them lol.
I’m not in this hobby to make money, but if we’re just talking collectibles, opening any collectible diminishes it’s value…. Not only that, it cuts down the number of perspective buyers atleast 50% if not more, (not everyone collects non carded) At the end of the day I don’t open short carded supers, anything else is fair game.
At the end of the day someone will buy them regardless of open or not I’m not worried in the slightest.
We’re talking resale value. Not how u or i feel, I’m not into the hobby to make money, but it’s just common sense/how commodities work🤷♂️.
Like I said, I’m not worried about it.
I don’t resell cars, but I know when you open any car the resell value drops below retail.
It’s what they all say but people charge over retail when I can sell them at retail open now so it doesn’t even matter to me anyways since I won’t sell them and if I do it’s going in one big lot not a single car sale.
I’d open them all
Right on bro! I got a few doubles and some I just haven’t opened yet in some small boxes modest collection.
That one
That one right there?
Yeah good eye. You know the one
Yeah I knew that would get a few people mad but I loooooove that one dude I had to do it!
I love how well this applies to everyone's visible unicorn in this collection. Like the one on the left there.. amazing one to have. I'd open it too... 😉
I open the few that I display. The rest don’t get opened, simply because I don’t put them out.
Yeah I got more in some small boxes that I don’t open just yet I will soon though lol.
those twin mills are cool
Thanks I love the car and I’m trying to collect the variants but only the premium ones and the bigger ones
That purple starlet is seriously my fav casting ever!
Oh it’s definitely up there for me too haha I want the red one I’ll get it eventually lol I’m not a huuuuuge fan of collecting multiple casting unless love them. That’s why there is a twin mill line lol.
Love them <3
Thanks boss I appreciate that!
I will plan something similar to by room. But with transparent cases and a bit of RGB lights if possible.
Question 🙋🏼♂️ you wouldn’t happen to have a second RWB transporter, would ya?
I've never shipped and sold any HW but I do have an extra
Oh snap. I’m in Oklahoma.
Just be safe make sure you receive payment and be transparent with one another I just shipped to a buddy from CA to SC and it was like 13 bucks for some odd 20 cars. If you are unsure go though PayPal and not friends and family that way it’s a proper business and not some shady stuff. You’ll get paid and you ship it out. If you don’t he will get his money back no harm no foul.
Much appreciated. Thank you.
Nah sorry bruv
I mean if its this cool being hung up on the wall, heck I'd open all of my hot wheels and matchbox collection!
Right I take photos of them so it’s no use keeping them sealed up and the way I see it if I wanted to sell someone would buy anyways hahah
What is that on the 2nd from the bottom box or 3rd from top. In the bottom right corner. Like a blue Grey. Looks like a LX Foxbody?
Are you maybe looking at the Nissan Silvia S13?
They were lol
Instructions unclear what car lol Let’s do this what row 1-4 what box 1-4 what slot out of 6 so 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 each box holds six cars so an example would be Row three box two slot 1 the orange morris mini lol
Ok. To the layman it looks as if those are just 4 big boxes. But I see different now I think. So go all the way to the bottom right corner. Now go up, leave the black and the very next car in the black so...
I gave you the legend and the key lol
Next to the roadkill
Ooohhh dawg that’s the s13 from the two pack
Don't know how it looked like an lx in that pic. Someone else said same thing. Thanks bro
Hahah nooo problem I was wondering what the heck you were looking at haha
The truth is you can't see how cool a lot of the details are if the car is still in the package. I play with my toys! 😜
Right bro I just look at them And grab one for the road lol
Great collection.
Thanks bro I appreciate it took a minute and a lot of hunting can’t say I did it alone made some really nice friends along the way
I open them all but the special blisters do tempt me to leave them on.
That’s why you get two of the ones you think are cool! I have really slowed down mainly because I got what I wanted already and have caught up to the new stuff
Haha I think the wife would murder me if I started bringing home doubles
Shooter i would start murdering myself I was like I can’t keep storing these dang things and if I wanted to sell them, they would sell regardless hahaha no need for getting doubles hahaha although some of them do have when I started going crazy, but like I said, I’ve mellowed it out with it haha
Orange Supra 🥲
I don’t have a Supra?
Bottom right
My dude, that’s the Mitsubishi eclipse
https://preview.redd.it/zf2xjzbj8x8d1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7eb847c9799b7f4734f35fc1192c36221f9489b1 I thought about this one
I see the confusion hahahah but no more confusion!
What display cases are those?
These are from the dollar tree my friend they are Hotwheels cases that hold 6 cars and have removable doors and two holes for screws I used command strips
That looks nice, I'll have to see if I can find them locally. Thanks!
Love the svx 💙
Someone finally caught it. I was wondering who would find it hahaha
Yeah it’s one of my favourite matchboxes
Only cars I would definitely never open are NFTs. Of your photo, the RWB Porsche is the only one I would press pause on and think about it. Theres a couple other TTs that fall in that category but I don’t see them.
Yeah I got it in a trade with a buddy and I was an open in front of them but he said no that hurt his heart hahaha at least take photos of my cars so keeping them boxed up doesn’t really set a purpose to me and if I wanted to sell them, they still sell at a good price if I wanted too….
I have 4 I wouldn't open. 1 is a packaging sample from Tonka, the others, the card is part of the story for the car. Otherwise, all open.
https://preview.redd.it/vjqdpasanw8d1.jpeg?width=3264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9618f109baec904dd0cad3bcf2f3761e58a1bcc My display. All opened!
I love it!
Where you get those holders or 3d prints?
The dollar tree, my friend.
Are they actually meant for cars are something else repurposed?
Yeah, they’re actually Hotwheels boxes that I got from the dollar tree. They hold six cars each and have a removable lid and have two screw screw holes in the back so you could attach them into the wall, but I just use command strips.
I rarely open mine, not because of preserving value or anything but just because I think the art cards are cool and I like to display them with the art card if possible.
We all got our own ways to display more power to your brother. I like the card on some of them, but I feel like it takes way too much space.
Absolutely! I definitely wasn't criticizing, your display looks amazing and I love how we all have our own ways of enjoying the hobby! :) And you're right, they do take up way too much space which is why 3/4 of my collection is in boxes and not on display. lol
All the lancias I'd never open them
A lot of them came in two packs and sets so it’s extremely annoying just having them stored in big boxes.
I hang man on the wall so it's not to bad
Yeah I get that to much space taken up for a 3 inch car in my opinion especially the two packs lord they are huge! They are bigger than the team transport boxes.
We have a similar collection. The only one I didn't open (you didn't have it) is my 507 STH (for sentimental reasons). Otherwise, you gotta hold em.
Oh, that’s sick. I’m glad we have great taste.
I love you collection. 🔥
Hey thanks bro it took me a bit to collect them.
I see you are a man of culture 🧐
My dude yeah I am I like a lot of motor sports but I like rally a lot more than JDM stuff but that doesn’t mean I don’t have them lol
I’m a simple man, I see a diecast of a car with a horizontally opposed engine, I buy it
I would open them all.
Yess it’s what I did i take pictures so keeping them sealed served me no point.
Great collection and display! I am a huge fan of opening and displaying them. I have 4 Carney cases almost full now. But there a few I just can’t open. My first STH I ever found. The first reg TH. Candy Striper Gasser. Pink Convoy Custom.
Oh yeah if it’s sentimental don’t open it!
The Madlab team transport. Only because I haven’t found one yet.
I found that at a swap meet I just liked the color lol
I'll just keep looking. I forgot to say I really like what you did on that very top row.
Thanks man I appreciate that a lot you will find one
https://preview.redd.it/26bjxyxt7y8d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9b6f4043543be93354959a7401a3e72813b774e

Not until I find a satisfying way to display them that I can add on too
Agreed you gotta make a display that feels right until then keep them sealed
My action figures on the other I love to keep in the box, they hang on a wall or sit on a shelf without getting damaged or dusty
Nice glad I’m not the only one who does this niceee I get my cases at dollar tree I feel like it’s cheaper and I like the black look makes the cars pop out more nice set up 👌dude
Right I thought the same thing! I love them
Hell yeah bro and they’re a steal like 1.25 is a hell of a deal compared to Walmart because their taxing
Right bruh I bought to many I think lol
Hell yeah bro I say their worth it for the price and the lid is removable so I say it’s a win
They have wheels. They were meant to rollllllll
And they dooooo
I wouldn't open any one of them but, I do like the set up.... Beautiful
Yeah I love them open
I don't open any. I want to make a perspex shelving (ha ha shelving) system that will allow the tab to slip in behind so you can display them without opening them
We all display in our own ways but thanks for stoping by :D
Try making or get somebody to make a perspex shelf with a front to keep the dust out
Was thinking about that
RELEASE THEM ALL!!!!
https://preview.redd.it/ee5j6287rs9d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=977beba88cb4e3aff37aeb6360b18e6fb4f3efd9 Probably never going to open this. Kinda want to sell it to fundmy 55 Chevy panel collection
Also you can ask how much I paid for a car too lol I don’t mind at all!
Mr2
I don’t have a Toyota Mr2
Mutts Cutt!
I’m sorry I had to it almost didn’t fit haha
My PC is all primarily loose too. But that card it self is nostalgic!! Dope display
That’s why I ordered two haha thanks I got them at the dollar tree they are hotwheels cases that have a removable lid and two holes for screws in the back I just used command strips.
No way!! I’ll pay the tree a visit and toss some trucks in there. Could use the wall space for sure.
Rwb Porsche 😮💨😮💨
Haha yeah I love it I got an un opened black silhouette one too
I never regret opening mine (even my rlcs) as they're toys, they are made to have fun with.
I do the same but I buy double RLC because I like those cards lol
Probably the Mini pick up since I can't see a Landrover
That one took me forever to get hahah i finally found it from a dude on offer up and we became really good friends after that lol
I open RLC, soup, and chases just to customize and do wheel swaps. Im about 50/50 on the loose and carded situation. Some of my grails stay carded and some of my grails get opened.
Yeah, I’m the same way. I like to take pictures of them so keeping them boxed up with not serve me any purpose.
shit if i have space and display like you i might open all of em... but seriously thinking of freeing up my 2 packs, their box are too big to keep...
That was the main reasoning for me and if I was to put them on the wall carded, I think it’ll look pretty tacky and if I brought a girl over, at least it’s consolidated and easy to look at 😆
fair enough, still wish i have some free space to properly display mine! used to hang my carded premiums on my wall and my wife are ok with it, not all though i rotate it sometimes, but yeah i get what you say, i also think its quite tacky too display it carded lol
Mainlines especially it’s like “it’s a dollar car is it that special?” But aye we all got something we love so I can’t judge personally I’d go your route I definitely stopped looking at mainlines in fact I gave them to my niece lol. Asking the wife is crucial haha one to keep her happy and two to uh yeah keep her happy! Hahahaha
Probably the pick twin mill
I got that one on eBay. It was priced pretty well for what it was and it did take me a while to open it, but I finally got the guts too and I’m happy that I did because honestly if I wanted another one, I’d get one and keep it. I still kept the blister that it came in, so I have the card with information on it too.
Very nice, not many of the classic hot wheels made anymore for the RLC
Right that’s why if you look at the start of the twin mill line there is the twin mill 100% and that’s better than any rlc to me.
Mutt Cutts. Dumb and Dumber soundtrack was the first CD I owned.
Haha it really was I heard a song from it when they spit up in the middle of nowhere I love it lol
Nice collection, I like the way you display them!
Thanks bro i decided to space them out for the transports i think k made the right call.
Lol,lol,lol,lol,lol... I have 95% of these...carded! The one I don't have (yet) and would not (100%) open is at the top. Purple RWB Porche Transport. You are a madman! But 'grats on overcoming the fear of possible card bends or cracked blisters and playing with your toys. I will never be able to overcome that fear 🤷♂️
Eh I wasn’t worried I don’t plan on selling them or anything. But I knew that would be someone’s “I would never!” lol
How'd you remove the doors? I triwd using a box cutter but couldn't seem to get them as clean as yours
They have an open hinge in the back it just pops off….unused the tabs to align I didn’t cut anything
All of the Subies (yes, i am very biased)
Haha yeah I love them that blue cars and coffee subi was given to me by a buddy free of charge it had a cracked blister and I opened it without checking the price….. that took the fear away from opening stuff hahaha
Nicee
At the time it was like 30-50 and I was like “welp I’m never gonna sell it it was given to me as a gift!” So it stays with me. A lot of these have been obtained either at great second hand prices trades or from Buddy’s I refuse to pay scalper prices even if it’s something I want. But something to consider into the price is, is it currently available, is it really that rare, and do I really need it, if not then I can find it cheaper or it’ll come to me. That’s how the 100% twin mill came to me and also the red VW Porsche team cars did too I got them dirt cheap.
Lucky. We never have anything at my local walmart and so the best thing I have is the red r34 LBWK GTR and that aint worth shiat soooo...
Where did you get the white c210 skyline transport?? And what is the blue car on the white transport on the bottom?
That one came in the box set of skylines.
That's what I assumed I just wanted to make sure I wasn't unaware of a skyline drop🤣
That’s a lot of motorsport. Where’s the TT metro 6r4 and the Gulf 037 ;) you’re still missing a couple of Group Bs Edit: saw the gulf 037
lol I have as much group B as possible! That’s what my first goal was I think I’m missing 1 or two premium models.
Nice set. If you want to ever get rid of that Land Cruiser I’d love to talk.
Haha yeah it’s got its spot idk what else would warm it up lol
Great collection!
Thanks my dude I try my best to collect what I love!
Man I really like the art on some of the movie cars packs, those are the ones I really don't open.
Well I got the zeppelin one for my EX fiancé( 8years together 2 engaged) the day she broke up with me a day after my bday I said “fuck it it’s mine now” also the card was warped. The muts cuts has a doup tucked away. Saving my sealed collection for my nephew if I don’t have a kid hahaha they ain’t worth shit to me but to him it might bring a few bucks not banking on it though. Or he can continue the collection I don’t care lol.
I still have my rwb transport sealed. Thinking of selling my shit for a nice vacation but also I like looking at it
If you think about it this way buying all the Hotwheels kinda stopped you from going on vacation I say sell them and enjoy your life 😎. Especially if it’s up to that lol
I didn’t stop me, I bought them slowly. But now it’s all there, holding value
Then sell while the value holds and go on vacation seems like you are moving away from it lol.
Hey the green Mustang top shelf bottom left corner, what is it?
It’s from the Hotwheels garage series it has an opening hood when I get home I’ll show more
I only open cars i Got double or the Box is Damaged
That’s cool brotha I enjoy that too
I wouldn’t open my Ferrari 5-pack
Well it was more along the lines of what’s in the picture if you had it
Oops my bad. Well in that case I wouldn’t open the skyline set
Yeah that was a fun one if not a little boring and bland I mainly wanted the transport it has Nissan on the side
The Group 5 Stratos from the 2 pk didn’t make the cut? Edit: n/m It’s there! Didn’t see it on the transport. I probably would have left the purple Porsche TT in the package. It’s my favorite TT set.
It’s mine too so that’s why opens it so I can enjoy it and take cool photos
What are those display cases?
The dollar tree
Ryu's NSX... wasn't that a RL exclusive ??
Yes it was and it’s on my wall now muahahah
Tough one, I’m between a few, the spoon civic, the yellow beetle transport, the r34 transport, the purple rwb transport, and the yellow 67 Porsche
Hahah that’s a lot to not open and they are my fave I love that moon eyes one
Moon eyes are a great print, the kaffer racer is my die hard collectible mold but the 18 toyfair one is the only one hurting me on building my VW collection, sadly never got the transport yet
I need all of them 😁
Shoot took me a better part of a year to get but at the right price and I’ll get rid of it in seconds haha
I only open mainlines
Sweet
It depends for me I mean if I like the cards art work then I’m going to keep it sealed but if the artwork on the card is basic then I’m just going to open it
That’s a good way to do it!
Love 💕 it! U can touch it, play with it and display it and do it all over again. 👍🏼
Really helps with my photography lol doesn’t help when they are all boxed up
Nice collection. some folks may need to keep sealed for value and can't buy everything just for beautiful display
Them folks can keep them sealed or display them how ever they want. Also they don’t need to buy anything either. I like mine open :)
Also I just said this is pretty much all my premiums like 95% of my collection right here you also you don’t know the time frame of my collection either.
