Official thread about Hot Wheels

[Hard Bot]

Read this if you are too mental to know what Hot Wheels is:
Hot Wheels is a diecast car company owned by Mattel.  Mattel is very well known for its femime toys, so Hot Wheels, among other toys, was invented to balance this. They wanted to compete with Match Box, but they needed to convince the toy is supposed to be muscline, which was the big challenge. 1968 saw its first cars, the 'Original 16'. It has been famous since then. Deora , Twn Mill, Whatta Drag, Bone Shaker, and Rodger Dodger are some of the most popular. 'It's Pokemon with cars', says an IGN editor. There are apprx. 500 original Hot Wheels cars. Anyway,

What cars do you want to see on the 2013 Hot Wheels list? Hopefully 40 Somethin' makes its first Mainline apperance in years. (Last time was 2003.).

Pff I've had Hot Wheels cars of mine get run over by my parents cars when I was younger, and they still roll fine.

I'd like to see Slideout and Midnight Otto. The Monte Carlo Stocker and the T-bird Stocker would be cool too.

This may be true of the pieces of sh** that are more plastic than metal that they make now, but back in my day you couldn't bend a HotWheel, let alone break one.

I had a few when I was young. Pretty tough, but the wheels were very wonky and the paint was unaligned and came off so easily, it wasn't even funny. Matchbox was even worse.

I still have tons somewhere. Used to play with them a lot when I was younger.

Matchbox was actually bought by Mattel sometime in the 80s or 90's. They were probably made from all the same materials and used the same paint.

[Jonzu95]

I still have all my toy-cars... I got like, 300-400 of them.

[Hard Bot]

I have 116 Hot Wheels cars, and that's not even including the licenced cars.

[GoldenFox93]

Don't know why, but I misread the thread title as "Hot Wings"...


...damn it, now I'm hungry.

I have like three good sized storage containers full back at my parents'. Most of them are Hot Wheels or Matchbox brand, but there are some cheap knock-offs in the mix.

Who thinks that Night Burner is Deora III?
Deora

Deora II

Night Burner

[HurricaneAndrew]

Nope.

Noticable lack of surf boards.

[Jamin]

Noticeable lack of everything that makes up Deora's design

They do look kiiiiiiiiiiiinda similar, but the surfboards are missing and that's the important part.
