Hot Wheels Cars Collectors

Hot have been collected mostly by children, but in recent years there has been a huge surge in hot wheels popularity.

Mattel's estimate is that 41 million children grew up playing with the hot wheels cars, and that the average collector has over 1,550 cars. Children between the ages of 5 and 15 are estimated to have an average of 41 cars each.

Many believe the resurgence in hot wheels car collecting started with the Hot Wheels "Treasure Hunts" in 1995.

Tomart's GuideTo Hot Wheels is a Hot Wheels Collector's guide for hot wheels cars. It offers information and reference including Hot Wheels history, cars pricing and detailed descriptions.

There are thousands of web pages dedicated to Hot Wheels Cars Collecting and people are collecting everything from new releases, 'Hot Wheels Redlines' and everything in between. Hot Wheels Cars collecting is relatively inexpensive hobby with main cars costing about $.99 (US). Amazingly, Hot Wheels Cars prices have not changed in almost 40 years!

Once Hot Wheels cars are no longer available in retail stores, the cost then varies significantly. The cars then become collectibles. A common car may sell for less than retail on auction sites and flea markets, while some of the less common hot wheels cars can sell hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
