.............diecast vehicles like Hot Wheels, Matchbox or Johnny Lightning? Been kind of interested in these lately. I had a friend give me his childhood collection. Pretty cool stuff.

My cars were also destroyed by being thrown off of the stairs when I was a kid. If I still had all of those cars I would have a pretty valuable collection........... oh well, little did I know to keep those things in good shape back in the day. :cry:

I was a major Hot Wheels dude as a boy. My dad was a big enthusiast ... he restored antique cars as a hobby so I think he was kinda re-living his boyhood by buying me all the Hot Wheels stuff.

A few years ago I bought several of the Lowrider Hot Wheels ... really well done, actually, but I only got 'em to display with the original vinyl "Homies" set ... I wasn't really thinking of it as collecting. Anyway, I still put 'em out sometimes 'cause they're cool.

Unlike so many cheap-o plastic kids' toys these days, Hot Wheels are built tough to last and endure the playful abuse that kids put them through. I also remember that my parents loved Tonka truck toys 'cause they were built to last. My little nephew now has all the car toys I had at his age, a testament to their durability.

I don't think so. I don't remember that series name, although I didn't save the packaging. They were just called "lowriders." IIRC one is a pink Impala with pinstriping and gold under-hoot parts, another is a dark red "bomba" although I don't remember the make ... pretty sure another is a supersport. I'm moving next week so they're all packed up, but maybe I can post some pics next week.
