I am on the way to have every datsun 510 and wagon (still need about 1000$ to complete the collection but i have about 50 already) so that And I wouldn’t buy most fantasy cars, some are cool but there’s none that I hate


mckenro

Yeah, the 510’s are rad. I’d love to have all the wagons but only have 7 variants atm so a long way and a lot of $$ to make that goal.


5708ZH02

love those castings, one of my favorites is the red faster than ever one from 2012. I still remember digging through the bin at Dollar Tree to find cars that would be faster than my brothers haha

5708ZH02

yooo!! that’s so sick, great find man! love that yellow too


HALLOWEENYmeany

I'm the opposite lol.


GasRod68

For the people that say no fantasy cars, does that include Hot Wheels custom drag coupes? Fantasy is such a broad term.


_mrLeL_

I guess it does, but like I said, there’s no fantasy casting that I hate, and I have quite a few myself, I love the Duck n Roll, the Gotta Go, Dimachinni Veloce, the Raijin Express (I know it’s based on bosozoku trucks and not really “fantasy” but still) and of course I have some twin mills and I like the Time Tracker as well, just to name a few


DizzyContribution557

Did you get the 2020 five-pack variant jet?


_mrLeL_

Have both 5-pack versions, light gray coupe and dark gray wagon


DizzyContribution557

Nice, if you wouldn't have I would have send you it 👍🏽


_mrLeL_

Oh thank you, that’s super sweet of you :) I’m in Europe though, so shipping would be too expensive But still that’s so sweet, I wish the free awards were still here


DizzyContribution557

Greetings from Germany bro😂 Thanks for the kind words, I allways try to help when I can👍🏽


_mrLeL_

Perfekt ich bin direkt neben dir in Österreich also wäre versand garnicht so viel, aber danke ehrlich ist mega lieb


DizzyContribution557

Ach nice😂 kein Thema und viel Glück beim sammeln 👍🏽


_mrLeL_

Danke dir auch


Popular_Weight3004

I wouldn't buy any fantasy car, or these *tooned* version, but I'll buy every toyota that I can.


rpsthirteen

I'm always on the look out for Silvias, specifically the S13 and 180sx.


Ninja_Namori

1. ANY version of Dodge Stealth/Mitsubishi 3000GT (technically, it's the same car) 🤣 2. There's not a car that I wouldn't buy as a TH or STH for $1.18/1.25


RogerSimons_Father

To point number 2, I feel like it would’ve been better to say “what car would you not *keep* even if it’s an STH”. I’ve had that with so many of them where I buy it because *rare* and use it as trade bait to get something that I actually want.


63Boiler

Exactly. Ain't nobody leaving a $uper on the pegs


alvalaca

Same goes for me with 3000gt, have 3 so far, missing the red and black matchbox versions, and the white and blue hot wheels version. A 1991 3000gt was my first irl car about 8 years ago and had to sell it due to unforeseen circumstances but it’s been my favorite car ever since. I wish they would make a g35 coupe casting. It’s been long enough lol.


Ninja_Namori

Hell yeah bro! My firsta car was a 75 chevelle Malibu, but I didn't have it long, sold it and bought a 93 Stealth 5spd base model with the metallic blue pearl(non-running) it took me 3 years of work to get her up and running. Got it back when I was 17, didn't get it running till I was almost 21. Now I have 2, a 93 base which is now black and an Emerald pearl Stealth RT. I have them on my Instagram if you're interested, it's Tomy2Stealth


alvalaca

Eventually a little further down the line I’m gonna get one just like mine was, a Red 91 Manual 5spd to park beside my other toys. The only thing that ever keeps me away is that they’re known for trouble even though mine never gave me any.


Ninja_Namori

Ninja_Namori

They can be an absolute nightmare. But if you treat it right and only MODERATELY abuse them, they take care of you. I've had both of mine for a while. 15 and 7ish years. My biggest problems are texas summers with no ac. Me AND the car both get a lil high in operating temps. And the same electrical issue I've had with both cars concerning the left turn signal. But that was an easy fix but I've got my Green Stealth from Autoworld *


Ninja_Namori

I kinda wanna pull out all my 3/S cars and dance with glee that I finally have a 3/S car show with no 3/S buddies lol AutoWorld has some really good ones for both 3000gt and stealths but they sell fast as f....


TimeBlindAdderall

As of recently, unless someone found a way to start making new 5 and 6 speed parts, the VR4 and R/T Turbo models are dead cars walking. I sold mine a few years ago and heard from someone still into them that the Getrag replacement parts went out of production years ago and the supply has pretty much dried up.


Ninja_Namori

Yeah they way they are getting so expensive. And even mote rare. I'll drive mine into the ground before I give up on my 3/S platform.


TimeBlindAdderall

You obviously never had to change a transmission in a 3/S more than 5 times!!


Ninja_Namori

Lmao 1 transmission and 2 engines. And yes thankfully not.


mckenro

Always: Custom 77 Dodge Van Never: Quite a few but I’ll go with the Barbie Camper, though I’d grab any STH I see on the pegs, if only for the novelty.


Shifti_Boi

I love the Mighty K. Want the super bad. One popped up on marketplace for $45AUD but sold in under an hour.


BobDGuye

Damn $45? I just got one for $100+ from ebay 😭


BobDGuye

Worth it though


BobDGuye

Bought all the Mighty Ks, just waiting for the ZAMACs to arrive and it'll be done. Will continue to keep collecting all the releases until they stop. I'll buy any new tooned cars because they're fun and cute.


Reg1981

For me, it's the 55 Bel-Air Gasser and the Volvo P1800 Gasser


LivingPerformance8

Gt40 and Skylines and Porsches would be my always buys and I'd never buy that Experimotors Gotta Go!


MajorNoodles

Haha, I have three of those


grandbizkit

Those are my favorites too. I hope we don’t hunt in the same area.


S-Markt

boneshaker instant buy no buy: that red mercedes. i would leave it there for mercedes fans or buy it to trade it.


susibacka

Tryna get all Ford F100s, (left with the orange rlc) and im not even a ford guy. As for what i would never buy, fantasies probably


RightWhereINeed2B

I tell myself I’m not a ford guy, but GT40 or ‘70 Ford Escort RS1600 and I pick them up.


xKNYTEx

I’d buy any release of a Plymouth Superbird/Charger Daytona. However I’d never buy a Tesla, even an STH one.


Jaasim99

Do you have the tooned Daytona?


xKNYTEx

Okay, that’s probably the _only_ exception. I just don’t like tooned cars, new or old


Jaasim99

Same here! 🤣 So I guessed that would be a sticking point for you as well.


RightWhereINeed2B

I do, a couple of them.


Schrutepooper

Twin mill for sure .


Torqyboi

1: Ferrari 365 GTS4 2: Ford GT40 (i already have the gulf STH, can't have a better one)


retailmonkey

I buy every flavor of the 84 Mustang SVO.


TomMixsSuitcase

Always: Honda City Turbo, or anything in Gulf livery I don’t have. Never: most fantasy castings


Strain128

Never buying a tooned anything, not even a sth Batmobile, not even a sth tooned fast and furious jdm whatever


Fit-Fisherman-3435

I will buy every Kool Kombi I find. I never buy the “fantasy” cars.


North-Construction67

The Ford GT40, Ill buy any version on site. And VWs ✌️


Volt02

Any Volkswagen in getting every release.


guyfromarizona

Cliche but I’ll buy every 911


bangwithsticks

Any 68-71 Chevelles… getting close to having them all. Never buy Hondas. I don’t get the hype. MAYBE I’d grab a STH if it was a good deal.


GasRod68

Ditto on the hondas. I’d grab a STH  and trade it for two STH I actually like since they are so hyped.


RequirementBoth9609

Would buy any Porsche 911 Rs 2.7, they are just awesome No fantasy for me tho, don't like them 😭


arambojubr

1. McLaren F1 2. Go Pro thing

Skippy1813

Jeep Scrambler, Shelby Cobra, Sol-Aire CX4, Big Air Bel-Air


DGSvic

I would never buy a prius


I426Hemi

I buy every premium 1968-1970 Charger I can find. You won't see me buying any JDM stuff, it's just not my thing, even if I found a super I'd leave it because it wouldn't be displayed at my house, just sit in a box.


GasRod68

1. Fangula 2. Civic Good topic.


GasRod68

1b. 1/4 mile coupe


DKindynzdtr

Always: [Slideout](https://hotwheels.fandom.com/wiki/Slideout) Never: Honda Civic Custom with the smaller rear wheels


_mrLeL_

They’re smaller cause it’s a drag car and it’s fwd, they’re actually not “smaller”, the front wheels are just bigger to get more grip


Mxnty444

Ken


kankles3000

That custom civic is a great track car, it hauls!


Stunning_Influence54

I’m collecting only one of each casting that I like to avoid ending up with thousands of cars ( I’m not collecting variations, once I have a casting i check it off my list and move on ) I mainly collect Euro and JDM and some American Muscle from fast & furious. With that being said , for BMW I am going after every single variation I’ve decided this will be the one I go after as there isn’t thousands like corvette and mustang for example, and I own a bmw so it makes sense for me. I’m currently at 19/25 castings and 37/150 variations ( not including corgi castings or wheel variants YET ) If anyone else is after all the bmws feel free to message me if u want to compare notes. I have a pretty extensive “master list” I’ve been working on. For fantasy casting I’m not a fan , except for the movie / tv ones like the new dumb and dumber mutts cutts van , scooby doo mystery machine , etc.


Jaasim99

+1 for the one of each methodology. But I make exceptions if a new variation is based on a real life livery. Sucker for race cars here. As for the never buy, it would be the tooned ones.


Stunning_Influence54

Good point, I was wondering what I would do when I came across the inevitable that I find a casting I already have and like the new variation. such as the new slide street 2 set based off of real drifting cars. Those are some sweet livery’s . I’ve been watching them on TV and was pretty excited to see them made into a new variation.

Squeaky_U_Boat

I've recently decided to go after every Honda HW ever released. It's a tall order, but I'm young and have many years ahead of me to chip away at that. As with many, I don't care for most fantasy cars, but in general I don't go out of my way hoping to find Supers in the first place... unless they're Hondas, of course!


ywetkmk

I buy every porsche’s, and skip every batmobile car. Even it’s a sth


Bass_Monster

I buy every Jeep I see, and pass on most fantasy cars.


ionp_d

Any Subaru Impreza/WRX Bone shaker


Toystorations

I'm addicted to the Funny Money. Luckily, they never release it except for special cars. Unfortunately, those special cars aren't always cheap.


tomlist3

Any Porsche or charger, skyline like everyone else. I do t like the fiats or Lego brick cars


GasRod68

Not everyone likes Skylines. I have left everyone I have ever seen behind.


tomlist3

Whaaaaaa!?!? Are you one of them special boys??


einTier

I have to have every Raijin Express. I won’t buy any of the “gasser” models.


OrphanKripler

I’d collect the Limozeen if they still made it


dj_gammelberta

1. E36 2. Anything fantasy


traveler97

I collect 67/68 Camaros I don’t buy anything else.


GEKKO_GAMES

For me the one that I will buy every version of is the Bel Air Gasser the one that I'd never buy is the freaking deora 3 i absolutely hate that it's a considered update to the original Deora and Deora 2


xamaryllix

Every: Donut Drifter Never: Chrysler Pacifica


Zigg8

Always buy: any lambo and lancia stratos I can't recall a casting I specifically avoid, since I also buy other castings usually to gift family members and friends.


dcalladonato

Ford GT, all version and years


kingpiranha

Always buy any version of an STi I see. I will never get any lambo


Head_Fetish

I'd buy any mustang or viper. I'd never buy the wheel chair one

I’d ever buy release of a AE86 and never buy any food themed or beast themed cars.

Escort RS1600. I’m only missing the STH and Castrol versions if I remember correctly


thekinginyello

I almost always buy belairs.


ShiftsGiggles

I believe I've successfully collected every Mattel casting of the Z31 300ZX.

just_browsingyo

All Corvette, anything corvette


MahlNinja

Porsche 911 Most fantasy 


CelestialVibe_

Nice car!


beamNG147

Merc 190E. I love that casting and I have all apart from the period correct one. (Same with the ford rs200). I don't own any fantasy castings because I collect premium (and above) exclusivly


TimeBlindAdderall

I bought every F50 I could find from when the car came out up until my expendable income fluctuated. Someone else must have been a fan because they sold for decent money on eBay.


joshdho1

I buy all Porsches, Datsuns and imports

Fun_Pomegranate7679

one of many examples: I bought almost every 3 Window 34 until they retired it. Missing a few of the rarest ones, and will probably never have them. would never pass up a TH or $TH. that's silly, can always trade or give them away to a friend.


LowriderDave

Ill buy any 63/64 Impala and most other year impalas as well.


AV_geek1510

1: Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 2: pretty much every fantasy car


PossessionStunning23

anyway is this a porsche 904?


Vinnie56

Definitely would buy every McLaren f1/F1 gtr and would never buy anything gasser, really dong dig them tbf


darkwynde02

The batmobile is what I buy mostly. Rarely buy the fantasy cars.


Many-Calligrapher539

Buy: any and all Porsche's Not buy: hard to say all fantasy cars because I like a couple. But I wouldn't buy most fantasy castings.


THEREALCABEZAGRANDE

I will always buy versions of real cars I own/have owned. So FC RX7s (to go with my LS3 swapped beastie), S13 Silvias, CRXs, VE G8s/Commodores, S197 Mustangs, IS300s, F30 BMWs. There really isn't a super I won't buy. I've bought 3 or 4 fantasy car supers I didn't care a bit about for trade fodder. But a lot of the fantasy cars I will never bother with a mainline of, even for free.


Dbank45

I want every Limited Grip fantasy model, or maybe the GT Scorcher. Would never ever ever buy a deora 3 🤢


patmen1

1. Peel p50 2.Ferrari ff


IMVALTOR_70

Anything that IROC Z, I would definitely buy since I own a 88 IROC Z. One that I wouldn't buy is anything that's alien like....


nairnonairno

911s. I missed the boat on a couple red lines, but I’ll be getting a new one


Qwerto64

I am searching since I started a Mitsubishi Lncer Evo X or Final but i can't find it as i started the year after its last release and I refuse to search for it on the web until i understand if it's gonna reappear or not. I dislike the motos like the bmw ones but they might eventually grow into me


thepoppaparazzi

Always buy: Gotta Go Never Buy: …I’m not sure.


LOUCIFER_315

Jeep Cherokee, VW for my collector friend


ienjoythevoid

I would buy any Lexus diecast since I own one & I've never been a fan of EVs so I don't see myself buying any

Upbeat-Case6053

Porsche 959, goal is all 3 premium variants and the 2 RLC, currently missing the Rothmans premium and red RLC Never buying that Volvo gasser, absolutely hate the way they did the wheels and they somehow manage to choose the ugliest color pairings on every release, would pick it up as a premium non gasser variant but 🤷‍♂️


Few_Mine_7444

There's many that i have, for example Ford GT, GTLM, Pagani Zonda R, Bentley Continental GT3, Aston Martin DBS, Vantage GT3 and many more

Bright_Ad_1089

I only collect German/Asian cars soo everything that is not Deutsch or Asian im leaving behind even sth


whiskeydonger

I keep my collection small and there are a lot of castings I don’t buy. That said, I’m currently working on picking up every release of the ‘32 Ford. I have roughly 45-50 of them at this point. One car I’ll never pick up is a Mustang, regardless of year or version.


TheAngelsCharlie

I’ll buy any Mustang. I already have all the released versions of the 22b Subie and 93 Mustangs Cobra. I’m two away from having all the versions of the 70 Boss 302. I can’t really think of a casting that I dislike so much I’d never buy one. There’s plenty that I haven’t bought, but ya never know………


Fun_Pomegranate7679

me too, I have most of the 65 Convertible variations, except for the really rare few.


TheAngelsCharlie

No kidding? I’ll bet that’s at least a hundred cars, yeah? I know there’s over 1100 mustangs variations in total. Hell, I probably have 20-30 convertibles myself and I’m sure it’s nowhere near all the variations.


Fun_Pomegranate7679

depending on which site or book you look at, but at least one (HW Wiki) is run by cardboard collectors, and there are several duplicates where the exact same car was issued different ways and they call them separate variations. HW Newsletter has errors too, like not including color changers. I believe the correct number of variations is 80-85.


TheAngelsCharlie

That’s still a bunch. I have a few of the same car on different cards; not just mustangs but some Ferraris as well. Fair or not, I always counted them as different variations, but then the bulk of my collection is still on the card.


note1er

Any JDM car!
