hot wheels

[synreal]

after spending the better part of the weekend sitting on my living room floor with the little lady, sorting through <b>her</b> giant collection of hot wheels, i'm curious to see how widespread this disease/hobby is.

sadly enough, i've been bored enough at the office that i even let her con me into writing a quick web app to help her keep all of the little buggers in order. so far i've taken photos of well over 200 of them with no end in site

there is nothing quite like having a 21 year old -lady- (i use the term loosely ) squeal with glee and tear off down the aisle every time we goto a toy store/target/any other store with those little blue cardbacked gems. but i love her anyway

wow, a 21 year old who still plays with toys. now that's just plain silly.

Syn and your moving to Pensacola with all those? You better not lose any or I'm sure she'll flip out!


Talk to you on AIM later on dude. Peace!

I used to collect, still have some if she's interested shoot me a PM...


Nothing scarier than to see two women fighting over a HotWheel in a blisterpack -Saw this in a ToysRUs in Sunnyvale, Ca.

I don't collect, but I have a number of cars and military vehicles from the 60s and 70s (all showing some wear and tear) that an Uncle gave to me.

[petefol]

my teacher collects them. hes got some nice ones like the vw bus's that turn into dragsters.

[Archangel Damien]

my best one is a van that has a eye hole in the back and if you look in the van you see the hulk ripping the inside to pieces

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

I have 2 still in box from back in the day like late 60's early 70's my dad got them when he was a kid but honestly i have no clue where they are

[irbodden]

The tracks are where its at, starting it from one end of the 2nd story, down the stairs, across the hall, down the basement, into the gameroom.

Throw a few flips and jumps in there and you're set

I am a huge HOT WHEELS....collector ! or i used to be. omg, me and my friend used to save up change and go to wal mart and buy them for 69 cents, i have the entire 99, 00, 01 first editions, ask your with if she has a scorchin scooter, i belive 97 first edition. if she does, ask her if shes interested in trading or selling it, i need one.....bad. almost all of mine are unopened.

is your wifes collection online? if so, can you send me a link, i wanna see what she has

[synreal]

im working on getting it all up and running online. i'm also gonna make the application opent to the public so other <strike>freaks</strike>collectors can keep tabs on their stash more easily lemme know if you are interested and i'll let you know when it launches

[The Frymarker]

Good for her, I actually collect GI Joe's and I am the same way, 28 mind you.

My husband hates to go to the toy store with me. But me and the kids love it just the same.

I collect the 12 inch figures.

My son loves HotWheels, that is his favorite toy to play with.

[Automaggin2]

o yeah im very interested. That would be awesome, maybe me and ur wife can trade some. Ask her if shes lookin for any, ill look through my stash

24 and still play with legos... I actually take them apart and rebulid them, only to set them back the way they were. I'm pissed they didn't have all those cool legos back when I was 14

btw what's happened to kids anyway? When I was 14 I was playing with legos and buliding tree houses in the woods. Nowadays it's x-box and paintball... weird.

[Automaggin2]

dude, legos are freakin cool. i love them, its fun buildin crap. i have this huge gigatnic pirate ship that took me like 2 months to build, and ihave the lego mindstorm, thats fun to, even though i havnt touched the stuff in like 4 years lol
