Once In A Lifetime Rare Hot Wheels Redline Bundle | Hot Wheels

[@boykinlp]

Thanks for making this video. I had never even heard of the Drivin’ Gear either until yesterday. So I decided to get on KZbin KNOWING that I would find a video on it. I didn’t realize that it was so rare, but then again, I guess that’s why I hadn’t ever heard of it. Yours was the first video I saw on it, and just watched it. Now I hope I can find one that shows someone actually playing with it, or maybe just an old commercial for it. We shall soon see! Again, thanks for sharing.

[@HotWheelsTV]

You are very welcome! As you may have heard me say in the video, they are very fragile... So if you get one, be careful..

[@Diecastcarnut]

Congratulations everything is awesome and In great shape enjoy it and a very nice addition to your collection thanks for sharing with us

[@HotWheelsTV]

Thank you!

[@PatrickJsVintageFinds]

Awesome rare finds! That Rrrumblers button piece is my favorite. Congratulations on the finds Mr. Mike👍

[@rjwalker4153]

That Drivin' Gear set is so cool. The buttonless blisterpacks that came out in 1971 or 1972 showed the Drivin' Gear on the right side where the button used to be. I have a few of those blisterpacks (all opened), but I have seldom seen that Drivin Gear boxed set anywhere. They must not have sold very well, to be so rare today, and likely were only offered a short time.

[@HotWheelsTV]

Yes!! That's why I couldn't pass it up! It's the only one I have ever seen!!

[@rjwalker4153]

@@HotWheelsTV I got lucky and recently acquired that Drivin' Gear set myself. But mine is not nearly as nice as yours. The box came with it, but the box is in poor condition, heavily worn and taped. And mine doesn't have the instructions and most of the paperwork. It does have an order form for parts and also part of a small ripped slip that says "We attached the cable for you......please adjust steering". That is the only message I can read on it other than 2A for the batteries needed. The battery compartment on mine was roached and I had to clean the battery residue out of it. Oddly, it also has the original decal sheet with all decals still intact, except for the gear shift decal, which was stuck on the unit. So I am undecided if I should put the decals on the unit or not. I'm leaning against it because original decals still on the sheet might be rare. Also they are not sticky anymore. I am not a big time collector and don't have many other redline accessories, or track sets, but I wanted this one. It just intrigued me I guess.

[@HotWheelsTV]

@@rjwalker4153 You are very lucky indeed! Way hard piece to find in any condition! Congratulations!!

[@rjwalker4153]

@@HotWheelsTV Thanks. Another cool set I have become aware of (although not nearly as rare) is the 1969 Hot Wheels Factory set that came with injection heater, molds, and plastic tubes to make your own custom Hot Wheels. I was really into Hot Wheels as a kid in 1969 to the early 70's but I don't remember seeing that set. But that might be another set I might like to get.

[@MrWolfSnack]

It makes me wonder if that metal wire is the reason why they were not sold long, and likely pulled from the market. It 100% looks like an assassin's garrote wire. Can be so dangerous.

Man ,,Mike so many great rare hot wheel treasures,,,love it all,,til next time,,,peace

[@Cw-cf7nb]

Money well spent, for something you enjoy. We must give your wife many thanks for the hot wheels she as to share you with. God bless her.

Awesome finds. I've never seen any of those. I have been collecting since the 90s. I have thousands that I want to display somehow.

It’s a card variation. First run.

[@HotWheelsBurban]

Thank you Mike for showing us and sharing your finds! It's always cool to find that "holy grail" piece. And it's good when your family supports your hobby( that sometimes helps pay the bills!). I go to the Space City HW group here in Houston every month. It's always interesting to see what everyone brings. Make a little $$, make some good trades, and hear all the stories.

[@HotWheelsTV]

Clubs are a great place for collectors!

[@HotWheelsTV]

Thanks for watching!

[@cedriccheng9895]

Stumbling upon your channel, I'm thinking of reliving my childhood hobby of collecting Hot Wheels. Lost all of my cars when I moved, but I still remember their exact names and colors. Started way back in 1999 when I played Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing in PS1. Hoping to start again when things get better here, and I've bookmarked all of the die cast cars and colors I've remembered from my childhood. I was always interested in their original designs and concept cars rather than those modeled after real production cars. So yeah, the Twin Mill II, Sol Aire CX4, Speed Blaster, Deora II to name a few of my childhood cars.

[@HotWheelsTV]

That’s awesome!! It only takes a little at a time and before you know it, you have it all back again!

[@richardfrye3509]

Great finds Mike. One day I hope to make one of the conventions in the East like you just visited.

[@didimo1963]

Here's the Drivin' Gear! Awesome. It was never released in my native Italy. I had a large Bruciapista collection that I sold years ago. I only kept my favorite pieces.

[@HotWheelsTV]

Awesome! At least you still have some of your childhood pieces!

[@didimo1963]

@@HotWheelsTV I came back after three years to watch that beautiful Drivin' Gear again. I found out about it in '93 when I was visiting the US for the first time, and I purchased a VHS with old 1960s-1970s Hot Wheels commercials. Thank you, I still have plenty of Italian Bruciapista accessories and a few sets, including several Sizzlers Ontario (Fat Track) sets and accessories.

[@MUSTANGHUNTER]

Another great video Mike!! I'd love to go to a convention and just look at all kinds of rare cars

Mike, thank you for this video, which explains the room to room selling and trading at the Hot Wheels Conventions. I only showed up to sunday's event, and missed out on the 'room hopping,' because i was unsure if that was a thing. See you in LA!

[@HotWheelsTV]

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing you there! Make sure to stop me and say hello!

[@schrammguitars]

I had the Drivin' Gear as a kid! I've been looking for one since I started collecting 5 years ago.

Mike, you have the luck of the Irish the way you come across this stuff.. Seriously, thanks for the details on some of this stuff, at least if any of us should ever see it in our collecting travels, we will be better versed on what it is and the back stories behind these items... All good to know ...

[@HotWheelsTV]

Thanks Dave!

[@davebeach2735]

Mike, my good man, thanks are not necessary with me, your information helps get me through some of the uncertainty in this hobby and it is much appreciated with the time and effort you devote to us all with the info you have on the cars and accessories ..Still hoping you will one day again do a Q& A segment once again, I find those extremely informative and quite intriguing, as I am sure others do as well...Keep us in the loop if you have one in the works sometime soon... Be well always my friend ...

[@MrWolfSnack]

That Rrrrumblers button booklet reminds me of something that would be in the store as a "free take one" type of thing you could just grab. The way it's worded it seems like it was a promotional type thing to advertise the product + generate hype.

I'm surprised that Mattel designed the Drivin' Gear in reverse. It would have been a lot cooler with the steering on the left and the gear shift on the right, in my humble opinion.

[@jamesmaroon6161]

Hey Mike. First time I have seen one of your video's. Really like all of the info. Got a question. You see all of these channels on KZbin that get these big boxes of hotwheels, how do they get those boxes of all these hotwheels? I have looked everywhere and can not figure out how they do that. Can you explain how they get those boxes please? Great video thank you so much

[@HotWheelsTV]

Hi James, a lot of the channels buy them from places like AandJtoys.com or other distributors. Some buy them from HotWheelsCollectors.com and others get them directly from Hot Wheels because they are Influencers who promote the product. I have episodes here that show the big boxes of product and how you can buy them. Like this one here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYG9kGN-otOMrNU Let me know if that answers your question and thanx for watching!

Button book? Did they ever make em for redlines?
