It's too bad Choro-Q video games are complete crap.

This one looked ok. Always wanted it because of the track editor. . .

went to thrift town today and i found this cool 1980 batman car toy:



it was part of a bundle. i gave the other toys in the bundle to a kid and kept this one. the bundle was $2.99

I had the brown Citation, the Kellogs Ford trucks and the orange Baja van (Though I don't remember the hood opening on mine. It's been so long though I have no idea). Those were some of my favorites when I was a kid. I always liked Matchbox a little more because they seemed to be based more on real cars, rather than Hot Wheels which were crazier looking (but still cool)

[Forlorn Drifter]

I have quite a few, but I doubt I have any worth money.

Random hot wheels and around 20 of the Matchbox "50 States" cars. License plates and all.


I've moved on, the only ones I try to pick up relate to cars I like. I want to get the Ranchero, some Fairlanes, Galaxies, etcetera.

I've played it. It's been a good decade or so at least, but I remember it being fun. Track editor was definitely fun to mess with.

Those are nice, Hobie.

I see cars like this at Goodwill once in a while. If I see any from now on I'll pick 'em up for you.

Haha, what a random 2 year old thread revival. I have way more cars than this now and I hadn't been posting here about then because I joined a hobby forum as it didn't really seem that many people here really interested in them.

@Betamax the earlier versions of the Baja Breaker van had the black opening hood, but as you said, maybe you didn't know, forgot, or maybe you had some other lifted orange van. Here's a wiki page with the Hot Wheels variations over the years.

I'm not a big collector, but I did manage to buy all Nissan/Datsun/Infiniti Hot Wheels that were released within the past two years. My favorites in the collection are the R32 GTR and S15 Silvia.

[Hobie-wan]

Yeah, Hot Wheels has let Jun Imai do a bunch of great vintage Japanese cars recently. Did you grab one of the green Celica that just came out the other month?



Just for grins, some of my Datsun/Nissan stuff.
