Right? Only the crookedness of a couple lines is messing with my OCD a little... =)

you needed to sneak in and tidy things up afterwards

Haha - we had 187 after all the Hot Wheels, and he wanted to keep going higher, so we added all the Cars cars (he’s got like 10 Lightning McQueens), bigger diecasts, and whatever random stuff was in his car bucket. Not sure what the final count was - close to 250, I think.

Is there anything better than your kid taking an interest in something you love?

I have hundreds of vintage die cast. Was so eager to see my son get to play with them I gave him a couple travel cases worth as well as the old “Sounds of S ervice” play center.

I probably should have waited because he has done his best to absolutely destroy them in any way he possibly can. If he could snap it or peel it, he has.

Kinda sad they survived me, decades of storage, only to be decimated by a 2.5yo in the blink of an eye.

Plenty more where those came from, but they’ll be in storage a while longer. Live and learn I guess.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > davesaddiction @ opposite-lock.com 11/08/2019 at 11:37

I was going to show you all the Hot Wheels scattered over my living room floor, but I walked down stairs to find that my kid cleaned up after himself for once.

Beautiful!

Yeah, that’s a bummer. I had some old beat up ones from my childhood, and now I have my own, small, modern collection. Definitely can’t trust a little kid not to wreck a toy like this (and can’t really blame them).

Nah, I don't blame him. My fault, lol.

Just like it’s my fault for not locking down any toy from my childhood that I didn’t want my mom passing along to cousins or other random kids. Oh well.

This put a smile on my face when I saw it on your IG. Also, RACE CAR BED!! Well done :)

My daughters now have *most* of my old diecasts and a couple of the Hot Wheels playsets, they’ve suffered some damage but I’m surprised they haven’t been completely destroyed.

That is awesome!

Thanks! Though it was worthy of being my first IG post ever. And it’s not any old race car bed, it’s a Hot Wheels bed with integrated tracks!

Was really fun to do with him. I really liked when he had to make a judgment call on what color a car was, and giving him a hard time for how many duplicates he’s got.

I’m predicting an uptick in not wanting to go to bed, and middle of the night wake ups to run cars on the track.. Can’t really blame the kid, I’d probably do the same too!

I’m not saying it hasn’t been an issue in the past. =)

I couldn’t help but notice the car on the end of the white row. He is a man  boy of taste I see...

Where’s the Deora? I don’t see a Deora. Everyone has to have a Deora.

I can understand not having the surfboards. Those get lost. But you have to have a Deora.

Not gonna lie. I still do this, and I'm at the age where I get looks for digging in hw bins.
