These aren't all the Hot Wheels that are worth a lot of money, obviously, but they could definitely fetch anyone who still happens to have them a pretty penny.

Or, if you’re a seller, you’re meant to display some of these outrageous price tags. Some of these toys, especially the rare ones, are meant to be displayed with pride. But you also wouldn’t dare play with them or give them to children to shove up their nose or whatever it is kids do with toys these days. Though, unlike used cars, you wouldn’t dare take them out on the road. It should also come as no surprise that Hot Wheels are insanely collectible, to the point that some of these cars can go for almost as much as a real used car. The simple idea of toys cars proved to be a popular one, and with their innovative and detailed designs, funky name, and weird colors, it’s no surprise that Hot Wheels continues to be popular today under the ownership of Mattel.

I don't have the patience to mess around with a spreadsheet and all other avenues I've found require too much overhead for something that should be a simple checklist. Once the kids that only collect with technology get their own income streams, we'll probably see something.hopefully that's sooner rather than later.īut to answer your question.I don't do any sort of inventory tracking because there's no easy solution. ![]() ![]() I'm sure Mattel sees the "legacy" collectors that are 40+ years old as "non-tech" and thus don't consider an app as a good return. I'm Mattel will make something in the space as the current generation of kids gets a little older. I'd happily pay $5 for such a thing.make it premium, targeted and premium collectors like us.Įveryone that has tried to make an inventory app (including myself) has relied on crowdsourcing data, which is fine and all, but always results in varying degrees of quality. And some other attempts rarely focus on just Hot Wheels (or even diecast) and seemingly always expand to include other collecting hobbies. And better yet, they can advertise in it, OR, just out right charge me. It doesn't need to be fancy - just an "Have it" / "Want it" kind of thing.

The other option is dumping the cells from /wiki/Category:Hot_Wheels_by_Year. My last Hot Wheels fever was in 2012 and I have the Excel database I created from data dumps of the site. I can’t believe by now no one has come out with a good database program for keeping a good inventory of what you have.
