Woah! I still have all mine from when I was a kid, but I've passed some of those along to my 4yr old already. Now he already has over 100 Hot Wheels and Matchbox combined. I probably have a few hundred, including some that my uncle gave me from when he was a kid. Even played with, these originals from the 70s (?) can be pretty valuable nowadays to the right people

Never had any when I was a kid, they didn't exist that far back...

I did buy a bunch a few years ago thinking they'd look good on my layout, but they were a bit too over scale and didn't fit... well, except for the fire engine. So now, my "collection" is diminished each time any of my grandkids comes over for a visit. That's the first place they head for.

Thats because cars hadn't been invented yet.

I beg your pardon, there was the Stanley Steamer and the Model B (the beta version of the Model T) :race:

Any DeLoreans in there?

How about an Avanti, or two???

I may have one or two left from my childhood. The rest succumbed to the "My Mom threw them away" syndrome.

That's an incredible number of Hot Wheels !!!!

I've got maybe 2 dozen left over from the early-70s (in pretty good to good condition) that I had when I was a kid.

My sons have quite a collection of new ones though. (The new ones are nowhere near as good as the old ones though!).
