Welcome

Welcome to HTBomb's Magical Hot Wheels. I played with Mattel Hot Wheels when I was a kid and began collecting them as an adult in 1996 shortly after leaving a 79 cent limited edition Treasure Hunt Passion on the pegs at KMart. That car is now worth $100! Several months later I found and bought three Treasure Hunts at Target. I was hooked.

I am interested in buying childhood collections of toy cars: Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Corgi, Husky, Dinky and Topper Johnny Lightning; Slot cars from Cox, Aurora and Tyco AF/X; Plastic model kits from AMT, Monogram, MPC. Please contact me via my website link below.

LEGO Batman and Hot Rod Batmobile

I once again digress for LEGO Batman.  Here he is with a custom hot rod (MOC) Batmobile designed and built by Tiler. 

Check out more of his great work here: Flickr

Carroll Shelby Dies at 89

Carroll Shelby, Builder of Cobra Sports Car, Dies at 89

Legend and automotive pioneer best known for his AC Cobra and hi-performance Mustangs starting with 1965's Shelby GT350. Not to mention the Ferrari-beating GT40 at LeMans.  

Carroll is well-represented in the Hot Wheels lineup and one of my all-time favorites is from the 1980's Real Riders series.
