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.

Hot Wheels Paddy Wagon

The Paddy Wagon is another classic Tom Daniel design created for Monogram and released as a plastic model kit in the 70s.



Here's the original redline Mattel Hot Wheels Paddy Wagon released in 1970.  The plastic top is removable.



Mattel still uses this casting but recently renamed it Copper Stopper perhaps because Paddy can have a negative connotation.  Compare the Hot Wheels car to a nicely built-up example of the model kit.
