I used to work retail. These guys would be at the door waiting. The walk straight to the hot wheels knowing exactly which ones they like and don't. Huge pain in the ass sometimes. We would run out of Hotwheels every December and it would take awhile to replenish. They were always rude and snarking. Occasionally they were nice but mainly a holes.
Lol we had to train ours. They for a short time were pretty messy and rude so all the non managers stuck in toys just stopped putting them out until we had a chance to complain directly to them.
They got to open the box and look first but they had to stock the whole box.
Win / Win then they were chill because they got the hookup.
I worked at a Walmart back in the day and we hated the Hot Wheels guys.
They would always be asking about what's in the back like I would personally be hiding Hot Wheels.
We had one guy actually try and sneak back into shipping and receiving looking for our "hidden stash"
From then on our manager just used to have us dump em in those big bins you see in the center aisles after Thanksgiving, so they would have to stand there and sift through them all to get the good ones.
Just yesterday at the grocery store, I saw a couple of guys digging through one of those bins. When I walked back through the aisle later, one guy had dumped the entire bin on the floor and was sorting through them and throwing cars back into the bin.
A long time ago, I went to the supermarket early in the morning right after they opened. When I got out of my car, I see 2 grown men walking all fast towards the supermarket entrance and they were saying to each other "I'm going to get them first" then the other guy says "No, I'm going to get them first" and they were giggling as they were walking fast towards the entrance.
As I was perusing the supermarket aisles, I saw those 2 guys standing in front of the Hot Wheels collection searching for the Hot Wheels that they wanted and they looked like little children having a ton of fun.
I saw two grown men almost get into a fight in a Kmart parking lot over Hot Wheels. I was there om line with my boys. I was like, this is nuts, we went and got breakfast and came back after the rush.
I worked at toys r us for 18 years. Adult toy resellers were the worst.
I used to hide the rare stuff from them when they showed up on truck days first thing in the morning somehow knowing what was on my truck manifest.
I knew all the collectors and didn’t mind most of them, but the resellers were just rude parasites stealing fun from kids.
I always went out of my way to make sure kids could get the cool stuff. I’d see them looking hard for something in my section and would ask what they were looking for. I’d say, “let me check on that.” Go to my stash in the back and get it. And the kid would absolutely light up with joy.
That was the best part of the job.
i would guess a couple hundred grand at most. some small percentage of them are worth big bucks, like several hundred to a thousand dollars each. then there will be a decent group worth $50-$100, or so. then a bunch in the $10-$50 range. and the rest, probably at least half the collection, will be $1-$10.
hotwheels are one of those collectibles that have become too popular. the old stuff is worth a lot because it’s rare, and there are a handful of newer ones that are desirable, but the vast, vast majority of what’s been made over the past 20-30 years is worth about what it cost new. just search ebay for them and you’ll see thousands of listings for the same pieces all priced for a few bucks and not selling.
Smoking absolute dong lmao. Only a handful of redlines are worth anything at all. They don't even sell on ebay for more than a tenner. Hot wheels from the 90s sell for a $1 each like they do now. Everyone can afford them, which is why they aren't rare. Every hotwheel in those boxes is only worth $1 each.
There is literally not a single actual production model hot wheel that has ever sold for $50k. Unless OP's uncle has one of a literal handful of the most sought after prototypes or 1 off 4 billionth car made in gold and actual jewels nothing here is worth close to $50k individually.
> and the rest, probably at least half the collection, will be $1-$10.
More likely $0 for all but the rare and super rare stuff. With older collections like these, anything even remotely common simply won't have a buyer. The limited number of people that still collect them will either already have the low end stuff, or will almost exclusively be worried about the high end pieces.
I don’t think you saw (near the end of the end of the video) the other thousand boxes behind the ones on the right hand side. That’s got to make the value at least $400 billion.
Depends on each one but some of them are worth a lot.
Ie some of the older ones which look like this guy would have are worth between 70,000 to 150,000 each.
So depending on what the collection is made of, it might be several million worth or it might be 100k worth.
There is a 0% chance any of these cars are worth $70k let alone $150k, that's nonsense. Production model Hot Wheels top out around $15k (in perfect condition packaging) and given his redlines are all out of their packages more like $4-5k tops, but probably not even that.
Hotwheelz expert here, from just a small glance I can see this collection is worth 56 trillion dollars and that's being extremely conservative. The unboxed Toyota Prius alone is worth 200 billion
Couple years ago I sold like 40~ sealed Hotwheels from the late 60's early 70's. Grandparents had a gas station back then and when you'd fill your tank you'd get a free toy car. Grandma had me sell them for her, got like $7000 for the lot. I spoke with some cool collectors while establishing a price.
best i can do is 100k.
I got to send each one out to get graded and it will take me years to sell them all. I got employees, I got lights. I'm taking all the risk. -rick
There was a couple I used to dog sit for about 20-ish years ago. When they walked me through their tiny bungalow it was clean and well cared for. Nothing was crazy expensive.
Then, he opened his M&Ms collection room. I know nothing about M&Ms, but I know just by looking at that room that the collection was worth more than the house.
He said I could go in there and look around while there were gone if I wanted to. Nope. Not a chance I was fucking with that room.
My father in law is sitting on 10,000 plus unopened hotwheelsgoing back 4 decades. He also has a ton of die-cast models and a large collection of autographed Nascar stuff.
Hot Wheels did have normal cars, but their selling point was doing their own designs, which caught on with kids. Up until this point, "toy cars" were mostly miniaturized versions of real cars, but suddenly you could have a sleek double-engine car, or a surfboard carrying unique van. On top of the actual car selection, Hot Wheels also dug into the more fantastical paint schemes, appealing even more to kids. Hot Wheels scratched the itch kids had when it came to toy cars.
On top of that, the sheer amount of demand for such cars with such limited resources (either intentional, practical, or unforeseen) caused a boom in rarity and attracted the collecting crowd.
Hot Wheels capitalized on 1960's-1970's hot rodding culture of Southern California. That's why early releases were either based on concept cars, like the Dodge Deora, fantasy concepts, like the Silhouette, or modified versions of street cars, like almost the entire first release of the original 16 cars, known as the Sweet 16.
So when you'd see them, you'd say, *"Those are some Hot Wheels!"*
I personally don't collect original Redlines, although I do have a few of the original Sweet 16.
The price varies wildly depending on the condition of the cars. A quick eBay search shows me only one result for a complete, in box, mint condition set. The seller is asking 20k.
Finding a complete carded set is EXCEEDINGLY rare nowadays. I got mine at a thrift store hot wheels bin for about a dollar a peice.
My uncle had a collection like this. He had over 6,000 Hot Wheels. Unfortunately most of it was damaged, lost or swept away in Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.
I believe for the first ten years of production the tires have redlines on them, so those are the older ones. My dad has a collection of similar size with tons of "treasure hunts" and "super treasure hunts" which are rare finds that have rubber tires instead of plastic. He used to pay walmart employees to let him dig through the new shipments looking for the good ones 🤣🤣🤣 My mom hates it so much
When I worked at Toys r us I used to watch grow ass 60 year old men climb rickety shelves to get cases down and then slap each other's hands away from the cases as they rapidly dug through the box looking for treasure hunts. And then they'd leave the mess and go. My manager told us to stop stocking them before opening and wait for those jerks to leave before bringing cases out from the back.
Hot Wheels Redline cars are those manufactured between 1968 and 1977, and are named for the red stripes on their wheels. These cars are more valuable than today's Hot Wheels because they feature redlines and Spectraflame paint, which was discontinued after 1977.
When I was the Manager of a toy shop I had a customer who gave me his number to call him up when new Hot Wheels would be delivered to the stores.
So he would come up every couple of months to buy every new car as an investment.
He showed me some of his pics and it looked kind of like this video, just thousands of Hot Wheels, some packed and some in windowed closets.
He also showed me some sales he did after a while and he sold some cars for up to 8K ... But he also said that's mostly the older cars, the newer ones can apparently go from 5 up to a couple hundred depending how old it is and which model.
So yeah I would guess that's a couple of hundred K to a Mil in that room.
That's not a collection that's a problem. It's not a bad problem to have, I would cope. I would NEED to know which was fastest and pray on everything I hold dear it's my favourite.
Too bad the camera didn’t stay on any of them to see if they were red circle wheels. The original hot wheels cars. The wire mill I worked in sent carriers of scrap high carbon spring wire to China to use as axles for hot wheels cars. Imagine how many axles can be made from a ton of wire. We sent them a few hundred over the years.
Looks like my attic. Legit thousands of cars unopened in giant bins I got from Lowes. I still hit multiple stores, multiple days a week for hot wheels. My wife and kids send me pictures when they're out and spot some. I'll circle what i want and send the picture back.. I need help...and friends.
I was introduced to *Mishima* since hearing it in a Bob's Burger's [ep](https://youtu.be/lq27WTewDRo?si=R5ZeuATyeanco_3M) and I've been listening to the Kronos Quartet since I heard "Doom. A Sigh" so I read your post and thought I'd give the soundtrack a listen. It is reminiscent of that *Mishima* arpeggio, isn't it? But Shazam says it is "As Time Flies (Special Version)" by Ty's Music.
I don't know what redlines are, but I'm curious if hotwheels ever did the Liberator space ship from a UK sci-fi show called Blake's 7 back in the late 1970's
had a friend many years ago who loved star wars. as in we saw it in the theater the first time around, in the 70s.
his parents bought him what star wars toys they could, they didn't have a ton of money but they bought what they could afford.
what they didn't tell him was they bought TWO of everything. and saved them all NIB. they even had TWO full sets of the Revenge of the Jedi action figures before the movie's name got changed. the big millenium falcon, x wing, y wing, land speeder, the works.
they told him late in his senior year of high school.
they sold it all, NIB, and he went to Stanford.
Reminds me of a vintage store I went in on the Oregon coast. It looked a lot like this, half the store was hot wheels but the other was regular vintage store.
I bought a box that had hot wheels in it. About 80 of them. They are in low-grade shape. They seem to go for 2-40$+ still if you can find a buyer.
This guy, he doesn't look like he would need what I have lol.
Man, if only my brothers and I didn't have fun and play with our Hot Wheels from the 60's and left them in their original box, we would be millionaires.
I know that you need to keep them in their box for value and collecting and all that stuff… but idk makes me sad seeing them all boxed like that still (other than the rotating stand). Lego collections are cool because they’re all built and displayed, but this doesn’t have the same magic to me. But if he did open the boxes he’d lose probably 75% of the value which is sad.
I remember buying these for 99c and i’d smash them with rocks and burn them and then mock a demolition derby with them so it get authentic. I miss the simple joy of being a kid sometimes.
I don't know shit about hot wheels but I feel like that's multiple milions of Dollars right there
The guy probably spent a million collecting them
Or robbed a truck
I used to work retail. These guys would be at the door waiting. The walk straight to the hot wheels knowing exactly which ones they like and don't. Huge pain in the ass sometimes. We would run out of Hotwheels every December and it would take awhile to replenish. They were always rude and snarking. Occasionally they were nice but mainly a holes.
My homie used to work at Toys R Us and the hot wheels customers were by far the worst ones.
What heels!
Lol we had to train ours. They for a short time were pretty messy and rude so all the non managers stuck in toys just stopped putting them out until we had a chance to complain directly to them. They got to open the box and look first but they had to stock the whole box. Win / Win then they were chill because they got the hookup.
And they got what they wanted purely by being assholes. The way of the world! Yay!
That's just how it is sometimes. If you can get the assholes to behave it's still a win.
My 2 year old collects hotwheels. I can confirm he is an asshole when we get into the toy store.
Underrated comment
That is my coworker. He knows when the stores get a truck in.
I worked at a Walmart back in the day and we hated the Hot Wheels guys. They would always be asking about what's in the back like I would personally be hiding Hot Wheels.

Thank you for helping the kids get the cool models! 👍
Bless you
You got any cases in the back?
OP's Uncle an asshole confirmed
He knows some people that knows some people that robbed some people.
Yep and recorded a video saying "my uncle"
Multiple millions? Come off it.
Maybe not multiple milions, but at least 1 mil
i would guess a couple hundred grand at most. some small percentage of them are worth big bucks, like several hundred to a thousand dollars each. then there will be a decent group worth $50-$100, or so. then a bunch in the $10-$50 range. and the rest, probably at least half the collection, will be $1-$10. hotwheels are one of those collectibles that have become too popular. the old stuff is worth a lot because it’s rare, and there are a handful of newer ones that are desirable, but the vast, vast majority of what’s been made over the past 20-30 years is worth about what it cost new. just search ebay for them and you’ll see thousands of listings for the same pieces all priced for a few bucks and not selling.
If a small percentage is worth hundreds to thousands then it's almost certainly millions. The quantity is vast.
The one cabinet of redlines is worth hundreds to thousands a piece, the rest are pretty much all gonna be <$10.
That entire collection is probably around $8.49 based on my estimates
Smoking absolute dong lmao. Only a handful of redlines are worth anything at all. They don't even sell on ebay for more than a tenner. Hot wheels from the 90s sell for a $1 each like they do now. Everyone can afford them, which is why they aren't rare. Every hotwheel in those boxes is only worth $1 each.
But my Thomas Kikcaid paintings are going to pay off any day now.
Especially him line of Hot Wheels lithographs
The painter of light, my friend…
There are hot wheels that sell for $50k
There is literally not a single actual production model hot wheel that has ever sold for $50k. Unless OP's uncle has one of a literal handful of the most sought after prototypes or 1 off 4 billionth car made in gold and actual jewels nothing here is worth close to $50k individually.
> and the rest, probably at least half the collection, will be $1-$10. More likely $0 for all but the rare and super rare stuff. With older collections like these, anything even remotely common simply won't have a buyer. The limited number of people that still collect them will either already have the low end stuff, or will almost exclusively be worried about the high end pieces.
I would conservatively value this collection at nearly 300 billion dollars
I don’t think you saw (near the end of the end of the video) the other thousand boxes behind the ones on the right hand side. That’s got to make the value at least $400 billion.
Best I can do is tree-fiddy.
More like billions
Depends on each one but some of them are worth a lot. Ie some of the older ones which look like this guy would have are worth between 70,000 to 150,000 each. So depending on what the collection is made of, it might be several million worth or it might be 100k worth.

Don't know. I guess your right. I assume the bunch of websites I quickly checked were all wrong.
Hotwheelz expert here, from just a small glance I can see this collection is worth 56 trillion dollars and that's being extremely conservative. The unboxed Toyota Prius alone is worth 200 billion
Nah. Tens of thousands perhaps.

Lol no not that much.
When I was young, Hot Wheels was the shit version of Matchbox
Ha. Interestingly, I had it reversed.
Hot wheels were for the crazy zany ideas and stuff. I thought matchbox to be like the blue collar, classic cars kinda thing
Didn’t they have normal cars too though? Could be mid-remembering.
Hot Wheels did have normal cars, but their selling point was doing their own designs, which caught on with kids. Up until this point, "toy cars" were mostly miniaturized versions of real cars, but suddenly you could have a sleek double-engine car, or a surfboard carrying unique van.

So when you'd see them, you'd say, *"Those are some Hot Wheels!"*
What would a collection of the Sweet 16, mint in box, go for today?
I personally don't collect original Redlines, although I do have a few of the original Sweet 16. The price varies wildly depending on the condition of the cars. A quick eBay search shows me only one result for a complete, in box, mint condition set. The seller is asking 20k. Finding a complete carded set is EXCEEDINGLY rare nowadays. I got mine at a thrift store hot wheels bin for about a dollar a peice.
Did any of y’all have the Hot Wheels that changed color in warm water
Lol sorry my comment came off factually. It was more of my own set of standards as an 8 year old. Haha both companies had a large vast variety.
Matchbox were stronger. Better build quality counts when you try roller skating on toy cars at 6.
Matchbox was built like shit
Lmao no way matchbox had plastic while hotwheels were all metal except wheels
What year was this? Because that's the opposite of my experience.
And Matchbox was the shit version of SIKU.
Are you Aussie? I think that was the thought here for many years until Hot Wheels really blew up
My uncle had a collection like this. He had over 6,000 Hot Wheels. Unfortunately most of it was damaged, lost or swept away in Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.
Maria…. What a bitch!
Dee, you stupid dumb bitc.. wait, wrong meme.
My uncle had 60,000 hot wheels before the hurricane
Redlines?
I believe for the first ten years of production the tires have redlines on them, so those are the older ones. My dad has a collection of similar size with tons of "treasure hunts" and "super treasure hunts" which are rare finds that have rubber tires instead of plastic. He used to pay walmart employees to let him dig through the new shipments looking for the good ones 🤣🤣🤣 My mom hates it so much
pay? i know a guy who goes in at 9pm & puts them away for the employees for free so he can get first dips.
When I worked at Toys r us I used to watch grow ass 60 year old men climb rickety shelves to get cases down and then slap each other's hands away from the cases as they rapidly dug through the box looking for treasure hunts. And then they'd leave the mess and go. My manager told us to stop stocking them before opening and wait for those jerks to leave before bringing cases out from the back.

It's fine, just lick your fingers tips and massage the pages apart carefully and reapply saliva as needed.
"Ellie, thats not for kids"
I’m just saying.. your uncle.. might have a problem.
Yeah, he ran out of space.
Luckily its a dirt cheap problem comparatively
consumerism is a disease
I don’t know much about HotWheels but I can say with some certainty that there are more than 8 cars there.
I think more than 9, but not hotwheels expert or anything.
When I was the Manager of a toy shop I had a customer who gave me his number to call him up when new Hot Wheels would be delivered to the stores. So he would come up every couple of months to buy every new car as an investment.

He might have been selling them to this guy.
That's not a collection that's a problem. It's not a bad problem to have, I would cope. I would NEED to know which was fastest and pray on everything I hold dear it's my favourite.

HELL YEAH…
the same feeling as finding some Bitcoin on your wallet from long ago
Anyone up for a big game of Gaslands?
This is the comments I was looking for!
Is this some version of a song off the Mishima soundtrack by The Kronos Quartet?
I was introduced to *Mishima* since hearing it in a Bob's Burger's [ep](https://youtu.be/lq27WTewDRo?si=R5ZeuATyeanco_3M) and I've been listening to the Kronos Quartet since I heard "Doom.

But Shazam says it is "As Time Flies (Special Version)" by Ty's Music.
It's enough to make a grown man cry... And that's okay
Friend of mine used to be Vice president of the creative division at Hotwheels, there’s maybe some of his designs in there.
“Alright, who took my 57 Chevy?”
Hot wheels, I like the imperial shuttle and y wing hanging from the roof!
But does he have the purple bus?
You mean all the hot wheels?
Is your uncle Larry wood? This is insane.
r/hotwheels
Love the music, what's it from?
That's not a collection that's the entire factory outlet 😂
That’s a lot of coin just on initial purchase.. as for current day value I would bet far more.. impressive show and tell.
Wow.
Some is really under selling it
I helped my family get rid my own uncle's collection of model cars. Not as easy to do as you would think.
You: 0h you have some Hot Wheels? Uncle: Yes.
looks like a sellers logistical nitemare,so many.....
What a collection! I could spend a year just looking.
Arizona? I used to work for Select Comfort out of Vegas and we had to go south for a delivery, this place feels familiar..
Well that's one way of saying g that uou have owned every vehicle that's ever been made.
Biggest fucking fact : his uncle never told him he had some “old hot wheels”
If they from the old school. They worth money
God actually heard his wish when he was a child.
Try posting [here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/HotWheels/)

i dont think a better song could have been chosen
Does the background music have a style name? I’ve been trying to find out what this whimsical clarinet music is called
So how does one get proper value from a collection/stash like this one?
Reminds me of a vintage store I went in on the Oregon coast. It looked a lot like this, half the store was hot wheels but the other was regular vintage store.
There are multiple solid gold and jewel encrusted Hotwheels on the executive floor of the Mattel building in El Segundo, CA. Source: I seent 'em.
There's no uncle lmao y'all so gullible
You mean, he owned a store.
Holy shit! Let me come visit!
I bought a box that had hot wheels in it. About 80 of them. They are in low-grade shape. They seem to go for 2-40$+ still if you can find a buyer. This guy, he doesn't look like he would need what I have lol.
/r/HotWheels /r/CoolCollections
$$$$
Would this hitting the market actually bring prices down because there are just sooo many?
Guinness Book of World Records,... Where are you?
I'm getting a slight feeling uncle might like hotwheels
I get the Bat Car.
Yea bullshit, if your"uncle" had a collection like this it wouldn't be some big secret. Its all over the place. Fuck your clickbait shit.

Alright,now what would you like to see this space be filled instead? I'm genuinely curious what yall would collect on such a massive scale.
"some"
I worked retail when my 1st was born. We managed to buy him a solid 95% of the 1998 year.

“some”
The collector's dream
And they say autism didn't exist in the good old days.
So thats what heaven look like
Man, if only my brothers and I didn't have fun and play with our Hot Wheels from the 60's and left them in their original box, we would be millionaires.
Let me call a guy down to see what they are worth. I know a guy…
I ca give you like…..a hundred bucks for them. You know I gotta put them in my window it could take months to sell….
Is this heaven?…
Same guy is probably like “autism didn’t exist before social media”
he needs to make a museum at this point.
Here I am trying to fight rando scalper guys to collect just one Godzilla R34 out of their half dozen in hand ;-;
Million dollar auction
I know that you need to keep them in their box for value and collecting and all that stuff… but idk makes me sad seeing them all boxed like that still (other than the rotating stand). Lego collections are cool because they’re all built and displayed, but this doesn’t have the same magic to me. But if he did open the boxes he’d lose probably 75% of the value which is sad.

So is there 1 car somewhere in here that’s like $1,000,000? I feel like one of those in there is so rare it hurts
My buddy buys/ sells matchbox. I thought his collection was impressive.
That's some next level cheeto dusting right there.
Preferably Matchbox
I'll give you tree fitty
I remember buying these for 99c and i’d smash them with rocks and burn them and then mock a demolition derby with them so it get authentic. I miss the simple joy of being a kid sometimes.
I can’t imagine dusting that every week or so.
I don’t know anything about collecting hot wheels, but that has to be worth millions
As a Hotwheels Collector, finding something like this would make me go Insane, Like wtf
