ASMR Show & Tell: Hot Wheels and Matchbox Cars Collection

ASMR whispered show & tell of our son's Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars collection that I hope might bring a little nostalgia (in addition to relaxation and sleep) for any of you that used to collect or play with them as a kid, or still do! So feel free to leave a comment if this brings back any memories or even favorite cars.
Tingle on,

I used to line up several cars in a perfect row and lay down right next them and stare closely at them for hours

[@dr.dragster235]

SAME I'm so glad I'm not the only guy That did that as a kid (I might still do it now)

[@erikmcgill4807]

I still do but I would only get the cars based off real ones so it's like real life

[@ViceVizionz]

I'm 17 and still play with these, I have the orange tracks and everything, my girlfriend calls me immature so when she takes naps (heavy sleeper) I build tracks with a ramp at the end to hit her with them. Maybe I am a little immature but the world may never know.

Man, back when I was younger I remember looking for rare or collectible cars called Treasure Hunts for Hot Wheels. My dad and I took us to either a Target, Kmart, or Toys R Us early in the mornings to look for them. We actually went to hot wheel conventions to look at huge Hot Wheels racetracks, other peoples collection and more. We probably have over 100 Treasure Hunts lying in the garage somewhere. Thanks for bringing back the memories! Loved the collection and video as well. Til next time!

I do sometimes buy a handful of Hot Wheels if I'm passing by a toy store. I used to collect them a lot when I was much younger, and it does make me very sentimental. It reminds me of when times were so much simpler, and I've always liked the neat little details the cars often have.

[@blooba]

When I was a kid I had a collection of over 300 hot wheels cars, and probably a quarter mile of assorted orange track to go with it lol. I wish I still had them today, cause I'd set up a track in my college apartment!

[@FaintestOfBreath]

People you wouldn't believe you could do this but I used to take all my cars and play football with them. Lined them up on my bed, full teams, ran plays and everything. Color coded teams even. You could tell my favorites because paint had worn off on them, almost like they were the veterans. My mom got rid of them after I'd moved away and I was sooo depressed after that.

[@TheVcassat]

I love these "traditional asmr" videos. This one in particular has put me to sleep twice. And I love this leather coat!

[@RoseFerrachi]

I loved matchbox cars when I was a kid! My son is in college now and I still have his. He collected them. Last I counted there were about 250-ish. I stopped counting but they are all in a box. :) Thanks for sharing! Loved this!

[@reapertalon]

I still collect them, I have just bought a jaguar project 8, which holds the track record for nurburgring.

[@littlemimi1904]

So many cars! I love the sound of their little wheels

[@killergoat12]

I have literally a thousand of these from when I was a kid. Brings back some good memories ER.

Final Jeopardy! question from Feb. 28, 2011 (3 years to the day that you uploaded your video!): "Jack Odell gave his child a tiny vehicle to bring to school inside one of these items, & a toy brand name was born". Answer: What is Matchbox? :)

[@Bbillionaire.mindsett]

Still here in 2022 loved it thank you! I’m

[@fullmetalfunk]

Watching this video reminded me of my Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars that my friends and I had as kids. It's strange, I can remember some of the smallest details about them. My friend's little brother had one that had a small plastic exhaust piece, and if you pulled it, the seat slid out of the car to the side. I always loved the ones that had moveable parts. Opening doors, hoods that opened to show the engine, and I loved the way the wheels moved. Very neat video.

[@MathewBall]

Citroën DS 1968 @ 26:35 Citroën is a famous French car company. In England, we don't pronounce the o in Citroën so it would be Citrën. @ 31:25 it is a Mercedes Benz Unimog, Mercedes Benz is a famous German car company.

[@OmegaHellHound543]

That was a corgi juniors bat mobile. Geez that’s old and worth a bit of money for sure

[@MsOkayAwesome]

I had a bunch of matchbox cars when I was younger. My favourites were a batmobile and a school bus.

[@colesky6619]

I have a huge box of a bunch of hot wheels cars in my living room. I like to open up the box occasionally and check out some of the cars that I collected or played with back in the day. It brings back great memories. Thank you for making this video. Even though I'm not familiar with some of these cars, I still get lots of nostalgia from this video.

[@cameronwillard865]

So nostalgic, I loved this! Thanks E for the great video! Tingle on!

[@ClovisPictures]

32:47 And the lights flickered on and off...

[@Jayderica]

Great vid as always :-) The Citroen car is French. See a lot of them in Britain. My mum drives a Citroen Saxo :-)

[@donstover5034]

Is it just me or did their seem to be some cheep Chinese brand of "hot wheels" that had no actual brand name in every box or pile you had

[@unfinishedquest]

Don Stover Exactly, the ones that had screwed up axles and you could pop the ceiling off and stuff like that.

[@HesHonse6]

2 years later but I’m bored. I have been collecting for 11 years. Not once did I buy any off brand cars. Yet I had at least 10. I did get some donations from one of my friends... but I don’t know if they had any weird ones. I don’t know how they got there.

[@AaronsVlogTube]

Yes

[@therealde_cache]

Daamn, i remember owning many of these exact cars! Had like 700of these toy cars when i was a kid

[@ftboyz7234]

That was real nice the way you ended the video man...smooth

[@EphemeralRift]

Thanks much

[@iavagabond124]

Hot Wheels And Matchbox are made and owned by the same company Mattel. Mattel also has Barbie and American girl dolls. I also think they own Fisher Price? I think but I'm not sure. I'm 16 and have been collecting scence before I can remember. I have over 5,000 and I don't think I'll ever stop collecting. also the RD 1-10 are from a movie. RD stands for racing drones and they were used in the hot wheels Acceleracers movie series

[@leightonwalls]

I used to owned like 300 hot wheels cars, but now that i see your son's collection i can't remember what i did with them, i don't think i have them anymore, i wonder where they are.!?

[@TrogdorMan]

I have a box of these in my closet. When I was younger I had this huge T-Rex Hot wheels thing that was at least 2 or 3 feet tall and you were meant to have to have cars in its mouth and you would launch other cars up its back with this thing that had motorized wheels which you would stick the car in between and you aimed to hit a button of sorts that would open the mouth and drop the cars. I do not remember what happened to that thing, Probably ended up in Goodwill or something.

Hey, maybe you could get a fan to lend you their classic car for a video. Being old, they tend to be full little squeaks and rattles. A short ride in one may make for a good video.

[@HesHonse6]

I’m late but I dont care. I thought matchbox was the “cheaper” version of hot wheels. I always bought both though since matchbox had good replicas and realistic remakes. Hot wheels was like an ultimate buyer because they had the WHACKY weird cars with cool names.

[@EmperorRyu1]

I used to play with Hotwheels all the time, I'd usually pit the Hot Rod models against the models without exposed engines. Fighting races and challenges...good times.

"Chine" is French for "China." If the car has both French and English on it, it was probably made for Canada.
