BRAND NEW Hot Wheels Room

[@wtffor]

I buy mine off eBay, but there are a ways of buying them cheaper right from private sellers online (if you live in the USA), such as 1StopDiecast, and The Toy Peddler. Good luck!

[@Diecastic]

Awesome Hot Wheels Room! Also a nice assortment you have on the table. Thanks for sharing.

[@GHOSTJERKER]

Looks awesome! I will have to show this to my wife as I make a bid for my HW room.

[@joshriver75]

HOLY SHIT!!! You don't want to invite me over...I'd just barricade myself in and you'd be passing notes under the door trying to figure out how to get me outa there!! Very impressive collection, organization and display!

[@wtffor]

+Josh River Hahaha too funny! Thanks for the comment and watching! I'll be sure to have my crowbar ready in case I need to pry the door open to the Hot Wheels room if you show up some day! LOL

[@DavesDiecast]

The first Hot Wheels Room ever to be displayed on KZbin, and the best...It's actually the best room I've ever seen anywhere..always so interesting and so many great cars!

[@heathkinn]

this isn't a hotwheels room...this is a hotwheels palace......awesome set up.....I love it.....keep updating us with it so we can see it come alllll together......its marvelous....

[@popthingscustoms]

Amazing! All you need is Hot Wheels blue carpet. I know a guy who had a room like yours...he had a Hot Wheels logo put into his blue carpet.... a few days later it got flooded. (He's back though) can't wait to see the room all done. Thanks for showing bud. :)(

[@dreadnok320]

The room looks great ! Dam there are some real gems on that table. Those mint doubles wow crazy !!

[@brandysigmon9066]

New paint, new carpet, I bet it smells good and fresh in that room, great job on the renovations. This shows a true collector when a room is dedicated to, and built around the collection. I'm still at the level where I keep full Rubbermaid tubs laying around. I would love to show my cars like that. I might just give them away and not worry about it, anybody want 'em, ha just kiddin'. Great job sir!!

[@wtffor]

+brandy sigmon Thanks a bunch my friend! Lots of collectors I know (including myself) keep cars in tupperware. Most of my collection wouldn't fit on the walls at once. I'm glad you wouldn't give away your collection, I wouldn't either!

[@CrackerJaxx70]

SHWEETNESS!! Great work and OH what fun refllin' the Plano's!!! Luvin' the Visible Storage and Great GMC find!! Thanx a TON 4 Sharing!!!

[@wtffor]

Thank you Dave, very kind words.

[@MonsterRocket7]

Fantastic. What a great room.

[@brookesinclair8666]

Good work mate ! I watched your video on your wall hanging system first. Very clever and well narrated. I wish I had seen that before I unpacked mine because I like to look at them. You have a good set up

[@wtffor]

+Brooke Sinclair Thank you very much! Did you open your cars or just unpack them out of storage? I like the cars loose as well, but I just can't bring myself to crack open certain collections of mine.

[@HotWheelsTV]

I love seeing other people's collections! Great job!

[@wtffor]

Truly an honor coming from the most well-known Hot Wheels collector on the planet, thank you Mike!!

[@catchyoureyediecastcarcoll3107]

I love your room and collection. I'm a new collector but I really can't imagine my collection growing that large. Wow.

[@wtffor]

+Catch Your Eye Diecast Car Collecting I couldn't imagine it either, it just happened over time!

[@xroxfirebird2238]

+wtffor I have that mongoose funny car is it rare?

[@wtffor]

You're right, but selling takes a lot of time and patience.

[@wtffor]

Unfortunately I don't have anything set up yet publicly, all the pictures are still uncompressed and take up way too much space to be put on any novice web page. The long term plan is to make these available to everyone on a web page at some point...

[@MemosToys]

The room looks awesome.

[@shadjuice]

Wow man, that room came out amazing. I can only dream of having a set up like that. Plus all the awesome vintage cars. Congrats

[@TJSHOTWHEELS]

u must have one of the biggest collections in the world!amazing!how are the stop motions coming? I cant wait! Keep doing vids cos dis I wanna see more of!

[@trollinhotwheelsdad]

What a great room you hard work hit the mark.. Good job!

[@Buzzbeereviews]

That's a huge collection probably in the 10 Huge collectors nice video by the way can u tell us how you put the case on the wall please thanks

[@wtffor]

Thank you everyone for all the comments, suggestions, and compliments - I am very happy to have reached all of you with this video and I will be making many more to come. Happy hunting all!!

[@TheMasterLoafer]

loving the new room bro... I always enjoy seeing your collection...

[@donavanthegreat1]

Love the collection! Very nice display!

[@chirayuvedekar]

Beautiful! Just beautiful! Loved it!

[@MrLaggy2000]

Man I would love to come see this in person some time

[@27200my]

Awesome collection

[@bigtexpress10325]

Outstanding! I'm jealous of your display system.

[@matt24d1]

Holy crap bro. That is without a doubt a MAN CAVE!!!! WOW very impressive.

[@wtffor]

+matt24d1 Thanks a lot!

[@bobbymillionaire1825]

absolutely excellent - I think I would set up a bed also in there in case I would want to take a nap or something after looking at all of these beautiful collector cars :)

[@bmflmf]

Another great Vid. What is your advice for purchasing hot wheels by the case? I'd like to go that route! Thanks!

[@danielizz2427]

Awesome it's like you are in heaven but with hot wheels...you are crazily awesome

[@wtffor]

Daniel Izz Thank you very much! It is even awesome for me whenever I walk into my Hot Wheels room - I love cars and the more the better!

[@danielizz2427]

Welcome!.i really wish i had many hot wheels like that!.how many years did it take you to get rare and common ones.

[@reeceracing123]

Great setup!!!!!! I love it!! 469 cars left. Australia is so far behind the rest of the world in the 2013 lineup. We're still on the Case with the red Bump Around.

[@Pandaedc0815]

I know your way more of a vintage guy but whats your stance on thunts do you collect them and if so how many do you have and do you open them or leave in package

[@wtffor]

yankeeslover01able I do not collect T-Hunts, as I feel that the scalpers have destroyed the whole nostalgia of "treasure hunting" one of these awesome cars in the wild (department store). I cannot justify paying second hand prices of $20 to $40 on a $1 car that is actually mass-produced to the tune of about 20,000 each model (on average). I would rather buy a $5 Greenlight, M2, or AutoWorld car that has higher detail and more limited production run (typically 10,000 or less per casting). But I really don't think you are devaluing your TH all that much by opening it, if that's the way you like to display your cars. The prices on them are always over-inflated when the cars are new, but look at TH's from years past (other then '95 and '96) and you will see they are not overly valuable cars, mint loose or packaged. I say CRACK 'EM! Video it for us to see, I love seeing cars let loose.

[@Pandaedc0815]

wtffor i was thinking about it actualy i have over 100 thunts alot are from the early years of thunts i just got a new display case and think it would be pretty awesome if it was full of loose thunts

[@brianmchugh7667]

wtffor Sweet! And race the hell out of them. No sense buying a mustang and keeping it in the garage. Or a convertible and never putting the down.

[@radwanal-sayyed5170]

Your collection is just cool. Anyways, how many cars do you have, and what method of sorting do you use?

[@HHW247]

that is my dream room... no doubt about it amazing collection

[@wtffor]

Thank you!

[@sirmugman]

i persume you've got a link to this place where you put the pictures of the cars?

[@paisa26]

Very nice collection :) How many u have in total ??? I have around 3000 . since 2 months

[@bobshine3919]

WOW !! What a collection, I'm so jealous. Quick question? How do you keep track of all the diecasts? Do you use some sort of an inventory program or something? thanks, Bob

[@wtffor]

Thanks! I do have an excel program that I have made to keep track of my vintage Hot Wheels, but the rest is from memory.

[@loganwilliams5692]

im now 12 yrs old I was a fan of hotwheels since I was little I have watched the movie and the show and I have a good selection of cars!!!!

[@Partypoopering]

cool story bro

[@loganwilliams5692]

thnx

[@planemech-ChrisS]

Where did you get the Plano cases? I need to redo my collection. I collect strictly VW's and have about 3000-4000 of them. This room is amazing!

[@supercabrones1]

Nice dude i dream with a room like yours, maybe some day

[@matthew5194]

WoW love the set up! How long have you been collecting?

[@ep3onyourleft744]

Sweet set up, enjoy watching your videos ....love redlines!

[@118gwillickers]

what products do you use on your cars for cleaning & protecting....ala wax or preservative? thnx

[@wtffor]

118gwillickers Nothing but air dusters for me! I don't have a dust issue in my room though, it's pretty much a self contained sealed off room in my house.

[@DJ_Tenioso]

Nice display...it would suck though if you live here in SoCal and there's an earthquake, you would have a pile of loose cars on the floor...=)

[@denno021]

Very nice collection! What are the plastic containers that you have in the plan-o-storage-containment-unit?

[@chhaychayy4539]

denno021

[@norcaldarren7923]

Toooooo much Mr. Kanuck, you're inspiring collectors all around, beautiful stuff man. Do all Canadians do it like that 'eh? LOL, Jk. TTYS, Darren from Nor. Cali.

[@wtffor]

Darren DeZilwa Hahahaha, thanks Darren! I don't know any other crazy collectors like myself, sadly, so I don't think all Canuks are as passionate about collectibles as I am. There are a few around certainly I'm sure, just hiding. LOL

[@NineteenSixtyNine88]

Awesome. Is that "wall showcase", Hot Wheel car containers? Please let me know how you put 'em up, thanks.

[@diecastcars10]

Love the intro, i enjoy watching your videos.

[@1houroflove186]

Once the basement fills up, no worries. Just extend the Hot Wheels Museum up the stairs.

[@wtffor]

LMAO! My thoughts exactly!

[@jonathanfiedler7859]

Love that room, wow

[@neftoys]

Me too

[@TheLTD_]

Looking good,

[@tim22499]

Very nice! 👍👍

[@hotwheels2511]

NICE HOT WHEELS ROOM.....

[@wtffor]

hotwheels2511 Thank you!

[@chitraoedai216]

How many cars are there exact ?

[@wtffor]

I don't have an exact count, but somewhere in the region of 50,000 in my collection

[@SrOnlyNeedOne]

Lookin good man!

[@OmarBautista]

I envy you! jaja. your collection is impresive!

[@LTMCMedia]

I had "collected" before now until my car was broken into and my cars were stolen...I have started recollecting and hope my collection someday becomes like yours

[@wtffor]

I am sorry to hear of your very unfortunate set back in collecting - but I'm glad to hear you are starting again. If you keep your cars in your real car, maybe invest in a security system.

[@z1m3r14]

Wow! room is the cars

[@coreyparker9238]

When u take pics of it cars do u have a way of organizing them so if u want to see if u already have that car then ur not looking through tons of pics? That is an amazing collection! I'm am so jealous!

[@wtffor]

I use a numbering system on each case which acts like a file card, then I use Mike Zarnock's Variation Guide Book to locate each car, which in turn identifies which case my actual car is in. Easy to do, and you don't even need a computer. Thanks for watching!

[@danpater7128]

Awesome stuff

[@lesnunley6885]

I wish I had a room like that for my cases

[@164diecastcrazybuddies6]

im envy, i like same set up of wall tracks. i have many hotwhels also, but not same your hot wheels amount. but still hunt and collecting what i want.

[@Chave2016]

if you where to sell your hot wheels how much do you think you would sell them for ( i dont want to buy them just asking)

[@KountFive]

Fantastic room/cave/museum absolute benchmark. Are you able to answer a 1985 hw querie I have I don't like ask only I have run out of leads.

[@CarsByVincent]

OMFG that is mutch hotweels!

[@Caring7982]

En donde los compras my friend?

[@toocool5658]

Los puedes comprar en target y Walmart

[@andycollins6156]

How long have you been collecting? Amazing collection

[@wtffor]

Since I was a child, hoarding and collecting heavily all along. I'm 37 now

[@whodeybengals23]

I agree with everyone's comment below!! Awesome man!! Congrats!!:)

[@chrispennington2808]

Where exactly are you getting your cases of Plano 5324 because I can't find a case anywhere and when I'm lucky to find one I pay almost $17 for one

[@wtffor]

I was buying them at WalMart up until about 2 months ago. They used to keep them in stock for $6 each. Unfortunately I have not seen them for sale in any WalMart or other stores in the last couple months. I don't know why, or what happened. I will be in a panic when I've used up my last Plano's, as my reserve hoard of cases is dwindling. :(

[@diecastdude88]

Beautiful room but no drum roll in the beginning.

[@johnbolt806]

how many boxes woulď i need for 250 cars

[@wtffor]

+john bolt 11 boxes, unless you pile the cars two high in each compartment, in which case you would need 6 boxes.

[@hard_satania926]

250÷30=8?

[@jeffnelson9010]

Could you imagine a fire??!??!?!? That would wipe that collection out.....But if the sprinklers went on. the water damage would be bad as well...Thats the one thing that freaks me out

[@SeansModelBuilds2017]

My first 6 Hot Wheels survived our house fire 40 years ago with nothing more than melted windshields.

[@jeffnelson9010]

Hey Mike, just curious...how do you afford this? What do you do for a living, if you dont mind? Im an older collector, and just got done with paying child support, so I have ALOT more money to put into my hobby now....Im a local truck driver and the wife has a great union job....So my collection is going to expand super fast..

[@vasiletomazian7417]

BRAVO

[@vintagetoybychimbica4574]

very very cool

[@TheLedzeppfan]

Will those planos fit an m2 dodge charger daytona?

[@ramses1883]

you are the best I wish I had those cars

[@wordreet]

Holy shmokes! This is where people can observe how a serious collector works. Just one section uses 200 cases? So, realistically, how many of those display cases do you reckon you might have there? 1000 or so? I believe those are $8 a piece. I'm sure all the ladies and gennlemen can all do the math. And that's just to hold the collected items, whether displayed or not. . I thot I'd watched this before, but YT didn't indicate it. Oh well. :¬)

[@wtffor]

+wordreet Hahaha! Thanks very much for the comment, and happy Holidays to you! I have 637 cases at last count, all with at least 24 cars in each and some with two cars to a compartment or more... so maybe some cases have as many as 50 cars in them. One day I hope to put these cases on the walls in the rest of my basement, or rotate the collection.

[@wordreet]

wtffor Heh, another couple a years and you might just be close to a thou'. ;¬)

[@RAISEONER]

awsomeness

[@joshuam579]

nice video love the cars

[@wtffor]

I get your question about my cases almost daily. Please watch my video titled: "HOW TO DISPLAY HOTWHEELS AND DIECAST". Skip ahead in the video if you like to the 5 minute mark, where I then answer all your questions about the mysterious cases that fill my room. Happy hunting!

[@deevucoolmint]

Hi I just want to ask u that whats ur strategy when u start collecting these cars like u buy 1 car in a week 2 car in a week or more then 2 car

[@lightme1194]

[@wtffor]

+Dj wolf93 I hang them from two screws.

[@undertaker666dead]

i must ask you where did you get all the cars?

[@Camel76]

At 4:54 The car with three stars on the hood and red, white and blue lines. What is the name of the car?

[@wtffor]

You sure it's at 4:54? I didn't see a car matching your description there...

[@Camel76]

wtffor It's in front of the Dixie Challengers, and by the orange truck with flames. On the left.

[@wtffor]

Camel76 Ah! That one is called the "Lowdown". It was released in 1977 with either blackwall wheels or redlines. A very nice gold chrome paint job on that one. Check out my Facebook page for pictures of it. If you go to my channel home page on KZbin, you'll see a link for my Facebook page where I have hundreds of great pictures of my vintage Hot Wheels.

[@Camel76]

wtffor Thanks. hotwheels.wikia.com/wiki/Lowdown
