My daughter is now the owner of many of my old hotwheels cars. This got the thinking about the cool Hotwheels USA play sets I used to have. Sadly I think they were sold at a garage sale, and now I cannot find them anywhere outside of a YouTube video showing 2 of the 3 sets. This reminded me of the micro metal Star Wars toy sets I had that my mom sold for a few bucks at a garage sale. I had all but the Death Star trash compactor: I do still have all my Transformers.  --------------------------- Sony|SonyIR|Sony NEX|Minolta Film|Polaroid If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine "No one cares how hard you worked...but they will notice if you didn't work hard enough." -Ctein |

Looks like they reissued the one set: Too bad it was $20 something and they want $170+! --------------------------- Sony|SonyIR|Sony NEX|Minolta Film|Polaroid If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine "No one cares how hard you worked...but they will notice if you didn't work hard enough." -Ctein |

So, I have been buying my daughter Hotwheels cars. I buy cool cars when I see e, and if she is good during something she gets one. I just found all of em I have bought that she hasn't been given and I have 14 new ones, and 5 older ones, plus two 5 packs. Yeah, I guess I need to stop using her as an excuse. hahah Bought 8 hotwheels and matchbox cars today, but two are for coworkers (1970 GTO Judge in the same color as his real one, and an 85 4Runner for a friend that had 8 of them in his yard at one point.) --------------------------- Sony|SonyIR|Sony NEX|Minolta Film|Polaroid If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine "No one cares how hard you worked...but they will notice if you didn't work hard enough." -Ctein |

My brother used to have the halls of justice, which was awesome. I always was a tomboy, so I had far more GI Joes than dolls. Used to love watching that show every saturday. groovyone likes this. --------------------------- You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline.

Remember Lawn Darts? Those were cool. I remember my cousin tossing one into our above ground pool. Interesting effect :D |

Used to climb trees. The outdoors were my favorite "playthings" if you could consider it that. And books. My mom wouldn't let me have a Barbie, but my cousin would make me paper dolls and that sort of made up for it :) |

Probably my Top Five Toys that I can remember as I child that I LOVED..... I basically grew up during the "Game Board" Era, so electric toys were rare and VERY EXPENSIVE! |
