Hotwheels? I have some in a box somewhere. This is what I was after. I haven't added to or touched the collection in years. Pics aren't the greatest. There are more in the attic too but nothing exciting.

Awesome set! It's like the Sultan of Brunei's garage, except better maintained and miniaturized

I was going to let my daughters play with them the last time we were there but then I started thinking about how they are still in the 'destroy all things' phase of life. The only defect in the whole group is the passenger side seatback in the RT/10 is broken.

DAT MCLAREN.
There are no good-value 1:18 McLaren F1s ever...

yeah, I let my kids play with my cars, as its the only justification I can find for having them now, they are getting older, but the damage they recieve is pretty high. Really it just looks like all of them have done a 24 hour endurance race weekend, ridden hard and put away wet

oppo's die cast page may help point you to a place where you can turn these into cash (he said sounding like a used jewlery dealer, GOLD INTO CASH GOLD INTO CASH!) which could then become parts for the real car

Isn't that how a car is supposed to live life? Trailer queens look pretty but they are sad. Long live the track.

agreed, and with these nice metal models the damage can actually look pretty realistic :D

mmmm, drool! those 1:18 models could rapidly fuel any number of add on parts and suspension upgrades and... well fuel and tyres and brake pads and oil changes

I havn't looked into this before. Do any of these have any actual value?

based on some quick ebaying, looks like at LEAST $20 a piece, but lets aim low and say $10 a piece, plus some effort on your side to photograph, list and ship (or cut out a ton of that work and list on craigslist) , I count ~28 or so, so that's $280 on the low side. Someone earlier commented the Mclaren might be hard to find, and based on the other commetns there is at least interest, might be worth the effort, like finding ~300+ jsut sitting in your pants pocket when you do the laundry

I'd imagine the more valuable ones are the ones I wouldn;t want to part with such as the XJ220, McLaren, CLK-GTR, GT90. I think you might have missed the 3 Hummer's in the bureau. 31 on display and maybe 5 in the attic.

would take all of 10 minutes to post these exact photos you already have to your local craigslist, and then just list the cars, ad done. Aim high at $30 or more a piece and wait :D

Keep an eye on eBay for the Maisto version. It's nothing special, but it is a fair bit cheaper than an Auto Art.
