I sold off most of my Hot Wheels when I was bored during Covid, but I kept these 5
I had about 70 off them,, prob made $2,500-3,000. I had some pretty rare ones in flashy colors
like a pink AMX Javelin and a blue '69 Charger... a dark blue Maverick with a hood scoop

Theses were some of the first ones I got. I think the white Jack Rabbit was my first 😁

I betcha "Hotwheels" is a direct result of most guys of a certain age being on this site right now.... the early fascination with cars, speed and power then boating ... I know my father blames Hotwheels for a lot of misused money when it comes to me.

I still have all my GI Joe stuff, jet, jeep and Mercury capsule with 45. I also have the parachute pack. We would go down to the base hospital and get used rubber hose and build big sling shot. Would spend all day packing that chute just right so it would trail out going up and deploy at the peak. No batteries just imagination.

This thread really sent me down the EBay rabbit hole. Looking at all the vintage 50-60s toys I had to admit that I had a pretty privileged childhood. Between my buddy Mike and I we probably had 90 percent of all the cool toys.
