I bought all of Magnus Walker’s cars!

[NutmegCarrera]

...the Hot Wheels variety, anyway.
I have been casually collecting them over the last couple years, and *think* I have all of them.
There are two versions of the 277 car (red hood and blue hood), a red 914, multiple variants of 964, 993 and 996. I think a 997 in the mix as well.
There is a 935 of some sort, as well as a couple of outlaw 356’s and a really neat combo of a VW transporter with a speedster.
Then, there’s the Hotwheels Redline Club 964 - complete with a diorama box and a Magnus Walker figurine.
There are at least two colors of Mini, and Three colors of a KaferRacer VW bug.
A VW bus and some old muscle cars also exist. I may be missing a charger...
Apparently, I’m either a sucker or a fanboy.

Not really sure what to do now. They’re all sitting in their packages in a drawer.

Does anybody else have the same problem that I do?

I wonder how many “complete” groupings of these things are out there.

Should I put them up for sale so that somebody can have an “Instant Magnus” HotWheels collection?

Pics will follow - just have not taken the time to do that yet.

I had no idea.

I don't have a complete set, but working on it.

Hot wheels...proof that if man makes something, others will become collectors of it.

Dunno how many cars and tracks I mailed off to Turkey for Evren's children. They loved 'em! Alas, the girls are in their teens now, but his youngest, a son, still likes them at age 12.

[NutmegCarrera]

Whew.
I’m glad I am not the only one.
-I was beginning to get worried.

I will post photos one of these days.

Gifts for fellow P car fanatics at birthdays, Pelican Gift exchange, open them up and put them out somewhere, send me the red hood 277 (I only have the blue hood)

Any of these are great ways to share the love of all things Porsche.

Personally I say put them out and enjoy them.

I check on Hot Wheels every time I go to a store that sells them scored these 2 today at O'Reilly's auto parts while picking up a new kill switch for one of the track cars.

I have these hanging on the wall in my office. The 1971 and Panamera "Polizei" and the 917LH I found last weekend at the grocery store.

[Por_sha911]

Ive got 3 or 4 dozen different cars some as old as 40 yrs old.
A recent acquisition:



Debating whether to leave it in the package or not.

[sammyg2]

At one time I had prolly 600 hot wheels cars with most in their original packaging, but I don't think any of them were exceptionally rare or valuable.
One year the local PCA chapter had a toy drive for the children's hospital so I kicked in a bunch of the cars. Over the next few years I managed to empty the boxes. I think i'm gonna get bunch more so I won't be empty handed come toy drive time.

I've been collecting for years and just recently started selling off my dupes.

Here's a link to my for sale thread in the Collectable forum in case any of you want to add to your collection:

I'm a member since 2001 and didn't realize/remember there was a collectible forum!

Here are some of the "obvious" ones:

[NutmegCarrera]

These are not unexpected, but I had to dig a little to find them....





The common theme being that they either have the "Urban Outlaw" decal, or the "Magnus Walker" decal. Some are branded as such on the card, while others just happen to have the graphics on the vehicles.

I often wonder what the trademark / agreements look like to make that happen.

[NutmegCarrera]

Some are even more unexpected:

[NutmegCarrera]

The transporter / speedster combo is just plain cool!

[NutmegCarrera]

Not entirely sure what the mini connection is, but hey-

[NutmegCarrera]

...and for now, the photos end with a series of the Kafer Racers.
Of note: The red one was difficult to find, as produced specifically for Target stores.





If there are any of the "Garden Variety" MW cars not shown here - I am curious. There may be one Mopar out there that I have not found yet, but I think that's it.

The Redline Club diorama is not yet shown - still "on order". Looking forward to having the collection rounded out....

Mainly, because this has to stop.

[NutmegCarrera]

...have also found some fifteen 52 branded cars.

Here’s today’s score!
