Great collection!!! I just bought the Rodger Dodger with white interior on card off eBay for $6000. I talked the guy down from his orig. price of $8000. I believe I have paid a bit more than I should have but for that rare of a variation and still on card I was ok with it. You inspire me to complete my collection of the Rodger Dodger even if it breaks the bank. Thanks for all the great vids and in depth info. The knowledge you have is really fascinating and extremely helpful.

I have a very similar green El Rey Special with cap wheels on the front. Sadly, it was in awful condition when I got it, with the front axle badly bent and the silver paint had been rubbed off the wheels. I recently repainted the wheels, which makes the car look much better now than it did when I got it.

Anyways I would love to see you do a video of just all Police Cars and Taxi's. Also did they ever make a hearse? Iv'e looked since I was a kid but NEVER found one!

Should be worth about the same when compared to a mint example with uncapped wheels. I've seen one before, yellow Baja Bruiser's are rare though on their own.

Hey O-Dawg I've been noticing a large number of rare older 'restored' cars on Ebay recently and was wondering your thoughts? There seems to be many very rare and valuable castings that are claimed to be restored-in my opinion it is highly unlikely that such rare vehicles would be stripped down and repainted and I think it is much more likely that common variations have been repainted in rarer ocular and decals in order to turn $5 cars into $50 cars. If this is the case then I feel that they should be listed as reproductions rather than restorations as people may not understand the car they bought did not leave Mattel in the same scheme.

@wtffor 6 жыл бұрын

I completely agree with you about restoration / reproductions. It really comes down to "buyer beware". The minute you buy a car that has admittedly been altered or 'enhanced', forget about comparing it's value to the real thing. The only values is what you as a collector place on a reproduction, as they are actually more common then a mint reproduced common car! Great comment, and thanks for watching the vids. Sorry it's been a while since I have made a video or read my comments, been busy as hell this month. December ought to be more fun!

Wait... So you're saying the blue El ray special is $100? Mine is in a similar, possibly better condition. I got it for 10 cents about 7 years ago, when I was 6. Don't get worried, I was a very smart kid and didn't ever play with it. I never really played with my cars and that was the year I started collecting strictly in the package. Now I just buy multiple to open and display while still having a carded example. I'm thinking about starting a blackwall channel this summer. My collection is not amazing but is very good. Especially for being 13. I actually have both shown el rays in the vid

So many variables... really requires quite a bit of research on each model to know if the lot is "worth it". I would hesitate to encourage people to buy old Hot Wheels on speculation, but more for the enjoyment and completion of your collection.

You must be new here. This is a very stable hobby. And mostly all older people do not buy for value, people like wtffor buy to complete a lifelong collection goal. And if you think $1,000 for a car is expensive, you should see how much model trains are bought for. Also, how did you manage to spell "dinky" wrong twice in two different ways?
