Approx 18 months ago I started collecting Hot Wheels.... what a mistake 😀 Its addictive, and theres SOOOOOO many of them out there
I mostly do remove them from the cards and display them in a cabinet, but do have a number that are more "collectible" still on their card.
I prefer the more "real" cars, not the fantasy ones they do, but do have a number of 2nd hand ones I picked up at the local car boot markets cheap.
I don't tend to collect them re-sale/profit, but did hit the paydirt with one.... was in local store with daughter (who collects "for profit") going through the stock there, and she found a super treasure hunt - quick Google showed they were selling for approx $80NZD at the time. 1 minute later I found one as well.
Paid our $6 to the store, and sold them that night for $70-80NZD each.
The thing I don't like about collecting them, is when something popular does come along, certain people go along and buy out the entire stock from a store and then sell for a premium 🙁
