Hot Wheels Room EXPANSION and HOW TO Display Your Collection!

[@alfonsoportugal6754]

I showed this video to my wife who always complains about the collection that me and my two sons have, and we only have 1000 matchbox cars. This solves our storing problem. Congratulations on your collection, never seen anything like it!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@sonyapeaks]

One of the best DIY video of any sort that I have seen. The closeups are priceless!

[@GHOSTJERKER]

Man this expansion project is fun to watch! The room is looking awesome and the boxed sets on the wall add a perfect touch of class! Can't wait to see the track in action!

[@wtffor]

Thank you!

[@TheElcoqui346]

Hey Zoro has them for 7.50 each and spend over 50 dollars that is 7 the shipping is free .

[@grizzlyer2200]

this should be a museum

[@Dnation_in]

i am a new youtuber and started my channel recently for my die cast motorcycles, i know this is different but none the less gave me some good ideas, thank you for your video, appreciate it, keep up the good work and looking forward to more. cheers

[@michaelpatrusevich9278]

This was very informative on how to put in these specific Plano cases.

[@wtffor]

Thank you!

[@nitayaritzi5195]

Watching this so I can later make a room like this for BF cause he loves his cars

[@christopherhinnefeld6189]

Wow You win gf of the year easily my wife hates and literally trys to hide/stop my hobby/"addiction" as she calls it 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JohnSTF72]

That's a *lot* of boxes.But then again you have a lot of cars.And these are looking really easy to stack. Thanks for showing!

[@wtffor]

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@iDreamStudiosTube]

Can't wait to see it all filled up.....or to at least watch the process unfold. Looks magnificent! Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos!

[@wtffor]

Thank you! I was thinking of doing a time-lapse of the cars being put on the wall... but I'm still not sure what I have so the unboxing process to find all the cars is a job in itself!

[@teenagefc]

Bloody hell! That room is way bigger than the other room....it's must feel like you've expanded into 3 more universes. Very intrigued as to what you will be doing WITH ALL THAT TRACK!

[@wtffor]

Thanks! I still haven't quite figured out what the end result will be with all the track, but I know I'll come up with something really cool sooner or later! The possibilities are limitless for fun with Hot Wheels track!

[@FasterTheDragster]

Thanks for the info on the Plano boxes, love em! I think when I finally get my garage done I'll have a wall of these guys

[@patanaya497]

After watching this video couple yr ago, I started doing same thing. This is perfect for hot Wheels and I enjoy see my cars displayed.. this is a great video as always… Thanks Pat… Texas

[@KountFive]

Some crafty activities in the bunker. Very clinical indeed.

[@1houroflove186]

I admire your dedication. I hope you never have a FLOOD or made by your girl to CHOOSE between her or Hot Wheels.

[@wtffor]

Thank you! Luckily I live on top of a hill far from rising waters, and secondly no girl will stand between me and my passion for diecast and cars... it's become a part of me! :)

[@LG-gx3nf]

I am just getting back into the hobby. I was lookimg for a cost effective way to display my cars, and there u were! Thanks for a great soloution! This is why i love utube.

[@marcocinquini1985]

I have seen your room in previous videos, but I have to say that's neat. I "healthfully envy" you. Nice collection showcase and thanks for the display job sharing.

[@wtffor]

Thank you very much, I do appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!

[@ronthefuture8827]

I really like the way you display your Hot Wheels. Great job!

[@wtffor]

Thank you!

[@RiverasHotWheels]

Really really really cool stuff! Lots of compartments now to display a whole lot more! 🙌🏽👌🏽

[@JonToyCars]

Amazing place to spend your time at. I know you worked hard to get in that point and you will work more to make it even better, so i wish you good luck in your journey. Also would love to see you participating in the Setup Race contest ... probably more collectors would enjoy to see what you have accomplished.

[@diecasttvchannel]

Epic! Truly excellent tutorial. I was wondering about the dust factor without the lids / covers on. I really like how practical and cost-effective the Plano cases are as a wall display. Your basement is the ultimate die-cast man cave. Thanks for the video mate.

[@wtffor]

Thank you for the compliments! And yes, I agree, for the cost per storage of each 1/64 scale car the Plano cases win by a long shot and also look great!

[@sub4ra]

Those cases are awesome. When I get the space to display my cars again I think I will go with these. Thankx for sharing O-Dawg!

[@wtffor]

Thanks for watching my friend!

[@AlWheelin]

Yah I got a couple cases at my Walmart in Edmonton a few months ago and yah they were gone for a few years, glad to have them back. they work great for the garage too.

[@thevintagecollectorsmett]

An other very well made video, good luck with your extended Hot Wheels Room! Hope to see new updates soon

[@wtffor]

Thanks! Majorette Trucks and Big Rigs part 2 coming soon!

[@aaronquiros6407]

You're in a whole new level man! Congrats!!!! Extremely cool!

[@wtffor]

Thank you!

[@anthonyrinaldi2050]

Thank u for such an informative video. Just did my basement wall & had your video playing as I did it.

[@mommyandbabyreviews7700]

great video thanks I've been looking everywhere for a way to display my son's Hot Wheels a great idea for his room thank you

[@MonsterRocket7]

What a fantastic video again. Always looking forward to see your next video.

[@wtffor]

Thank you, and thanks for watching and commenting!

[@nicolebenzin8829]

i really like your videos you inspired me to collect

[@wtffor]

That is awesome, I'm very happy to hear that and your message means a lot to me. Happy collecting!

[@alexnicholson2802]

wtffor i got rid of all my cars but i might start collecting again🙌

[@yz4043]

@wtffor are you Canadian?

[@carloshootercoyote9032]

me too :) this collection its amazing :O

[@KingsDiecastsFigures]

WOW, what an awesome set up. very cool. 20 thumbs up!!

[@wtffor]

Thanks man!

[@KingsDiecastsFigures]

Your welcome

[@davidbilodeau7876]

Thanks for making the video. I'll need to try that display method, but I might want to glue something on the cubicle edge so that a car won't fall out, from vibration, or from whatever.

[@wtffor]

I had though the same thing, and occasionally a few cars do fall out of their pockets, especially if I have music playing in the house (vibrations from the bass). Unfortunately there are so many compartments I can't be bothered, LOL, so I just go around and pick them up if I see they have migrated. Luckily I have a carpeted floor, so usually no damage to the car.

[@mannycrummett1206]

Awesome video! Can't wait until you fill that room up ! It will look amazing!

[@wtffor]

Thanks! It's going to be fun!

[@nikki5399]

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for all the tips man!!

[@wtffor]

Awesome, I'm happy you found it helpful!

[@holymackeral456]

When I finally learned about Plano cases, Walmart stopped carrying hem. Really sucked. Love your room.

[@acidhousehouse1601]

That`s not really a Hot Wheels room anymore , it`s actually now become a model car museum. Nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@wtffor]

Agreed! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@KBRC81]

Yes! The Plano cases are excellent...that reminds me, I need to order a few more 👍🏻

[@wtffor]

Do you order yours from WalMart also? Or elsewhere?

[@KBRC81]

+wtffor Home Depot, and I have them shipped to my local store to save postage fees.

[@buckytiske]

Awesome job! Thanks for sharing this! You just made my son very happy sir!

[@wtffor]

That is terrific to hear!

[@frugalnista8914]

I can't wait to use this idea in my son's bedroom!

[@Heavenpotato123]

Definitely a paradise for hotwheels lover like me

[@FRANKSKIDS]

Wow total Hotwheels insanity! I love this! You did a great job on the display tutorial very inspiring!!!

[@wtffor]

Thank you my friend!

[@Spicy_Conspiracy]

your hotwheels and diecast collection makes me weep lol. good stuff

[@renardjohnsanchez50]

Thank you! Now I know where to buy cases to display hotwheels

[@ballisticturtle]

WOW. Hell of a collection. Thanks for the great info. Keep rollin'!

[@wtffor]

Thanks!

[@EKCSEVEN]

I suppose if you had to take them down for transport somewhere, it would be easy and you could put the lids back in for easy carry if you had to move them.

[@TheKingRacer007]

Very cool set-up! I wish I had more space to display my best cars. Maybe 1 day, i will make somes modifications to my house, expand the basement and creat a bigger city and a huge wall display! :)

[@wtffor]

That would be awesome, but I hear ya it is difficult to set aside the space needed without compromising the function of a house. I'll be enjoying my collection now each time I pass through now to do the laundry, LOL.

[@TheKingRacer007]

wtffor haha, good point. That will be one of my most imposing project for Future. Expand my little town SpeedCity to a miniature 1/64 scale metropolis and do more stop motion and huge police chases. And of course get more storages spaces for cars! :)

[@marleys.diecast]

Great, Sir! Really need those Plano boxes here in Germany 😕

[@themonsterfactory2934]

WOW, Very impressive setup..... I live acouple miles away from the Plano factory/store.

[@MUSTANGHUNTER]

That's a massive collection!! Jesus

[@rtspacer_hd]

Thank you for sharing this! I have the wrong Plano cases and can’t screw into the walls of the room I’m in but this’ll be great for future reference 👍🏽💥

[@321bytor]

Fantastic room! Be good to see how you get on with sorting it all out. Great vid

[@wtffor]

Thank you! I'm not sure how exactly the cars will be organized, or even which ones will get displayed yet... It's a work in progress!

[@andreafrezzotti1169]

I noticed that they are modular, very beautiful and comfortable ....... I want to buy them thank you

[@luckydog20]

love it, that is amazing. I'm still trying to get my hands on these cases, but so far no luck no such luck in my area. Still got my eye out for it. I tried The Home Depot in Bowmanville no such luck

[@devangallow4875]

@ 4:57 is the information on the plastic containers...

[@kamiash2487]

Wow that looks so easy to do!

[@diecastdaddy]

Been searching for these cases for some time. ..I do believe I will have to do the same as you and just talk with my walmart manager. Enjoyed the vid !

[@Cave4590]

Cool expansion I've been trying to do something like that for a while

[@riff2072]

Congratulations on your collection and display rooms!

[@stangcrazy89]

I think Plano might want to consider sponsoring you.

[@wtffor]

That would be nice! Hopefully they will catch wind of my video!

[@krazer808]

awesome collection and display.

[@wtffor]

Thanks!

[@charlescassar5816]

just a simple thankyou mate you really do justice to our hobby tnx

[@wtffor]

Thank you, I appreciate your comment!

[@robertdiamondoil2384]

This is awesome I've been thinking of opening many of my packaged cars and just enjoy them on my tracks I've opened about 200 and store them in hot wheel's cases but this is much better I love this room

[@matthewbarnhart5874]

You make it look so easy. But, I know how TV works!

[@studiomg3212]

This was satisfying to watch

[@ecua3000]

This was awesome on so many levels.

[@pfdfcc]

Amazon has these cases for 10 bucks. Just ordered my first 2.......arriving in 2 days! Wednesday night will be the beginning of an epic 1/64th diecast display.

[@wtffor]

It's the place to get them, look out for sales because often times they are marked up to ridiculous prices

[@pfdfcc]

@@wtffor 👍

[@sikkslotsho9024]

Dude....... ‼️👍🏻🏁 Wow man , I'm very impressed with your collection. Very , very niczzzz I went looking for slot car display shelfs and came across this vid. Needless to say,,, I now have my first four cases filled and on the wall. Great idea on how to display & Holy Crap !!! Yeah !! What a collection ya have there.

[@andrecooper5181]

Great second room for your collection! What kind of cars you want to put in those new Plano cases? Some latest years Hot Wheels, or different manufacturer?

[@wtffor]

Thank you! I am starting out with Greenlight and M2 and AutoWorld, then I am going to put premium Hot Wheels up next, along with hopefully my vintage Lesney Matchbox collection, Ertl, YatMing, and Tomica. There are a lot of oddball older cars in my collection that would look great on display.

[@zarularif5466]

Thanks for detail works. Smart, awesome & infomative for everyone who wants to start collecting diecast.. Thanks again bro

[@312arts]

Wow thank you for showing the simple displays cases😀

[@1truerodney]

a dremel with a cutting wheel could make one to accommodate your haulers.

[@wtffor]

I did try that actually, but found the plastic was scarred pretty badly and I felt it didn't look so great... maybe I should have tried again with a bit more fineness. Thanks for the suggestion though!

[@Nino-sj9lw]

Congratulations 🍾🎈🎉 you hit 100k !

[@DavesDiecast]

This is an amazing video my friend...after seeing this I must get myself some Plano cases..pronto! Now what to do with all the lids lol...by the way after you take the lid off it seems to leave an exposed hinge, but when you're putting the cases on the wall the hinges seem to fit in the one below like lego...do you ever have to do any case modifications to make them fit snugly together?

[@wtffor]

The exposed hinge does indeed fit snugly into the lip of the case positioned below it, so they become hidden as you stack the cases up the wall. Also, because it fits together, each case above and below make the display more solid and evenly flat against the wall. I often wonder if these were designed this well for display, or if it was just good luck!

[@DavesDiecast]

Thanks for the explanation O-Dawg....I think it may have been luck since the cases seem to be made to organize a lot of stuff you'd need the lid kept on..but then again they did put the screw holes in the cases so maybe they did have wall displays in mind...

[@brendam455]

I love your collection ^_^ and then end part reminded me of a ASMR video

[@dogufuckingkan]

yeah totally agree with that, even better than soo many ASMR channels

[@josebecerra7044]

Awesome setup bro killing it 🔥🔥

[@radar468]

Fabulous! Excellent how to!

[@wtffor]

Thanks!

[@stevesmith8484]

They are only available online in Canada now. Just got my first two

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

These are made in Plano illinois might of been able to talk with them and get the cases minus the lids. Might look into that for future collectors looking to get and display their collections. Funny thing is a company has owned Plano Plastics since 2007 it was bought by a company that manages the pensions for Ontario teachers so it's kind of funny they are so hard to find in Canada.

[@BenG76Cards]

Is the shelf your six lane track on fairly sturdy? I have been considering doing a setup for mine along my wall in the basement. I was thinking of almost building a bench for it to be on but what you have done looks like it may be easier. It looks like you used larger metal shelf supports. Awesome set up you have.

[@wtffor]

The shelf is very sturdy when built with the large 10" brackets screwed into studs, every 16" along the wall. More then enough weight carrying capacity for the track and a bunch of cars parked underneath. Thanks for watching and have fun building your own, you'll love it!

[@DiecastCool]

Amazing collection and good exposition set !

[@RobbNekosCorner]

Amazing room! Congrats and thank you. Awesome video👍🏻

[@ToysVideoforKids]

So cool collection! Amazing!

[@andreafrezzotti1169]

CONGRATULATIONS for the video, but above all for the collection. I wanted to ask you where I can find plexglass display for my hot whells. Since I have so many I would like to expose them. Thank you.

[@wtffor]

Amazon, search: Plano 24 compartment storage 5324

[@ToyCarCase]

Killer clean system you have GREAT LOOKING AT IT!

[@HotWheelsTV]

I love it! I wanna come over an play!

[@wtffor]

Any time Mike!! It is an honor to receive a message from you, and glad you enjoy my videos! I watch yours all the time! Nice score and video on the 2023 Mattel sealed case cars recently!!

[@HotWheelsTV]

Thank you! I really enjoy your channel as well! @@wtffor

[@OldGamerSTL]

I love the Planos on the wall...so clean! Do the cases hold without problems even though you're simply using 1-inch screws alone into the drywall?

[@wtffor]

They do hold perfectly fine even full of all metal cars like Johnny Lightning or M2... drywall is surprisingly strong as long as you don't round out the hole when installing the screws. Thanks for watching and your question!

[@gadgettvcars9555]

Nice rooms and thank's for the plano😉👌✌️

[@wtffor]

Thank you!

[@20JK10]

Looks great!

[@wtffor]

Thank you!

[@packisbetter90]

Awesome. Those cases are kind of like tackle boxes.

[@josealexandersalinasarias4393]

Excelente video! Hace un tiempo que estoy atrás del mismo proyecto, claro que necesito traer desde eBay los "plano cases" acá en Chile no existen. Saludos!!!

[@michaelmcginley1875]

Dust makes the cars look cool man! I have a tiny collection and i try to keep the dust on er

[@vikorickslayernaise9099]

Awesome video as usual,Thanks for sharing brother!

[@wtffor]

You are welcome, thanks for checking it out!

[@r.rodriguez9350]

Badass displays and ur set up is tight btw if u dnt mind me askn how much r those display cases each or bulk i will appreciate it and thank you stay up.

[@DJalem]

Nice collection, the only downside of this display cases are that 4 Cars fits in one column, for sets I need 5👍🏻

[@montana4069]

Thank you for the idea I'm going to do the same thing...

[@andrewlaurens]

Another great video. I know your Canadian, and so am I, and you say you bought them at WalMart. I've never seen them at my local store, are you in Ontario? If you don't mind saying, which WalMart did you find them at? I have purchased online through Home Depot USA, but canadian store would be better. Thanks.

[@wtffor]

WalMart does not appear to stock these items consistently, but they do have access to ordering them. Best bet is to talk to a department manager or store manager...

[@legaciesontherails3878]

Are you using any adhesive, tacks or anything to hang those on the wall? Or do you have to do that with the very first ones you hang, and then just snap the additional ones onto them?

[@legaciesontherails3878]

Sorry, never mind, I just had to watch to the end of the video.

[@ljayorlando2344]

My first car was a treasure hunt, I watched your videos then realised 😂

[@masterdiecaster2959]

Nice!

[@albertikupper]

Awesome man Nice collection greetings from the netherlands Dutch

[@lovediecastdetails2269]

Just wondering if that plano cases will hold green light ford crown victoria , maybe you can help me , the car is unusually long for 1:64 scale special the one that have push bar , thanks , and You have A SUPER Collection sir :)

[@wtffor]

Very good question! I will have a video coming very soon showing you exactly just how well (or not well) Greenlight, M2, and Autoworld 1/64 scale models are held in Plano cases. To answer your question, the Crown Vic will fit the bottom larger compartments but the cars are on an angle. If they have a push bumper, they will not fit.

[@stevekennedy2337]

Great video. What size Plano case?

[@jolenestecken656]

Thanks brilliant idea. So doing this for my sons hot wheels, so tired of stepping on them lol
