I'm waiting until I have a child to break out all of my Hot Wheels and other die-cast cars. Good times with those things. |

I also have a couple of dinkies that are pretty valuable because they are still in the box. I also have a couple of tanks, not sure if they made it in the shot, and way in the back there is a die cast Star Wars Snowspeeder. |

|  | that video LIES | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Northern California | | | My wife has a couple dozen first-gen Hot Wheels. I'll probably forget to take pics... they're scratched up enough that we'll never sell them as collector's items, but as her dad was a controlling, bitter man who was robbed of his childhood, he made sure they always got put away. We let the kids play w/them but also make sure they don't get lost or totalled.

I barely remember this show. I was really little at the time and it came on after my bedtime.
I have another box somewhere. Inside the other box is a dinky model of the original starship enterprise. |

It was indeed an epic series, well ahead of it's time. Every kid I knew was glued to it on Saturday mornings.

I'd have given my right arm years back for that 007 submersible Lotus with the automatic fins though

Excellent memories! Thanks for posting.. |

I also had a Graham Hill race car and a Ronnie Peterson race car - I still wonder if I jinxed them.

Doors opened, A saw flicked out of the front and it fired missles out of the three tubes on the rear deck. Loved that car. My friend Robbie Podaloff had the complete Thunderbirds Are Go set, I was so jealous.
