OMG, do you remember collecting wrappers from cans of whatever to get stuff via mail in coupons?


I'll be damned, even Hot Wheels had one! 


But if you want to see some arguing get started, post something like this


and guys lost their minds trying to out trivia expert each other on the damn things... wow. There's no trophy for knowing the most about these, but you can't tell that from social media


I love the vintage displays. But, everyone is out there collecting and raising the prices to way out of my range. A display like this? Would be awesome. But I'm guess this one, would be a thousand bucks or more, for these exact cars, in like new condition

If you get a kick out of the vintage displays, be sure to click on this https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2023/05/hot-wheels-diorama-displays-used-in.html  for the store diorama displays.. .. incredible stuff


and as long as I'm soaking up Hot Wheels, I'll post this, which I became fascinated by, but adjust the speed setting to 1.25. This guy is either slowing down his video by 25%, for some reason you tubers probably know about, or, he talks really slow

  1. After some quick research: The single page is from the Mattel's 1973 German dealer catalog. The display is from 1970 and from Europe, the United Kingdom - to be exact. Just imagine: Mattel introduced Hot Wheels in 1968. Lesney, the company behind Matchbox panicked and introduced Matchbox Superfast models in 1969-70. How they felt when saw a display like this!?
    Great content again!
