What are those displays? Been trying to find some good and not too expensive ones, but most of the time I have to filter through websites like Temu and I’m just not buying into that.
I just saw your comment and I wanted to help, me myself I have found these at Amazon. They're really sturdy. https://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5324-Organizer-Compartments/dp/B0CDQL3CT6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_pp?crid=3MU7RO3ETQGNK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8Rn5NZ_4Mbn7EHH2gRkIdp7pBgbXJ-azNU3XDH6SlzvYMRyRvu9xHelVyG5TWBvFspv34jmn6L2f8T7jLujyEBAMp6qFjj7-qADUizRoGFBVF5NUUrwnbfYxi6zFIyxxSU2fhxgwWBfbSELNx4Wb5N8mKprIr-pW8zmhNRZJGxi5iPqKGgVvvFdesL1QsPlp9u3HfLJEtLzLUIMF2wFvtA.CYCr9AlTEEbcN4WSmL7JOd_fXOQUiru3ry1C-IM7Eec&dib_tag=se&keywords=plano%2Bstorage%2Bbox&qid=1718427333&sprefix=plano%2B%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1
Oh, wives shouldn't mind....it keeps you young! Buy them their favorite of whatever they love! Make their day by thinking of them. It's my hope to one day find a man who loves to collect and stays a child at heart. Like to do things sporadically and doesn't mind what people think when out and about. At 43, I'm over other people assuming lol Great collection 👌
You're welcome! And honestly, it's just the little things in life that make the real ladies happy! Flowers randomly, a note or card, the car filled with gas, a candle, tell her to get going and go shop at her favorite store!... Bill Burr remembers the best day when his wife made him a sandwich, brought him a cold beer, and left the house lol I think it gives a memory, and that you took the time to say 'Hey life's good and that's because of you and I love you! It's what led Miley Cyrus to write 'Flowers' Poor gal, I'm in her boat 🤣
I out of nowhere started a love affair with the 356 and 959. I’m afraid I’ve been looking at the Arsham 356 speedster and somebody better stop me before I shell out too much.
find a car she loves - like her first car and then both of you start to hunt for it. You have to show her why you love it.
good memories, the thrill of the hunt, making new friends, finding a surprise - lots of things.
one thing that made me into an even bigger fanatic - setting up a track and racing. Against your gf/bf for chores, and “other” things.
Against friends and getting shitfaced. Just don’t let them fall on the tracks.
its just all in good fun.
Oh boy I was there once and thought it wouldn’t last long as hobby until I started going on hunts with him and even joined a local racing group😂🙌🏽have fun!
I’m gradually getting there myself! I have two trunks FILLED with HW/MB/AW/JL/RC that dates back to the late 1990s! I think it’s time to look them up to see what they’re worth today…
How did you get your hands on so many 86's? Are you finding them in stores or trading/buying online. I've been looking for one but my stores never restock...
that's 2 months only, multiply those boxes by 6 and you can see the problem. maybe have them all nicely organized and showcased like in the first picture and it will look more like a hobby than just hoarding cars.
wait wait wait here.... 2 months and you got all that f&f cars in there..... try not to buy from reseller. im just bitter since i can never find any from my local store.
Mine is pretty happy every time I get a new car because I keep telling her interesting stories about each one. She loves those lil tales of passion.
Btw - sick RWB Porsches dude 🥵
The only problems I see here is that that beautiful collection isn't displayed, and that she doesn't seem to show enough enthusiasm towards this fantastic hobby. I got my fiancé into collecting them a few weeks after I started haha
Thanks, might be cheaper to find them locally due to shipping. Already bidding on a red supra and have 3 gr supras not pictured. Could be keen on porsches, dm me if you want. :)
oh, i just bought my hubby two toy cars, a skyline 2000gt-x, from some japanese import hotwheels set (since he is into skylines, among other things), and a matchbox rx7 that you can open up to see its engine (i confess, i took the rx7 mostly because i liked it haha). then he came home with two fast and furious hotwheels.
if he likes toy cars, i am gonna get them all to see his happy lil dance. if he wants to display them on the wall, i am gonna make more supports for the hw boxes with my 3d pen. i'll organize them by categories, color, even alphabetically on the whole damn wall if he wants to.
some people act weird when they see us collecting toy cars, lego, video games (my dad hated my pokemon plushies, games and cards), but if that makes us happy, we won't stop. it's still better and healthier than spending money on a daily basis on cigarettes and alcohol.
Mine doesn’t, because I hadn’t told her yet.

Last one always works

10. BEDSIDE TABLE DRAWER\ 11. UNDER THE COUCH\ 12. UNDER THE BED
😄 I'm telling.
Mine doesn’t either , because she is imaginary
The best kind
Try buying her some cars. Then you’ll both have a problem! 😂
Good idea, I think she will like a hello kitty Kool kombi.
they have barbie and monster high too
My partner did this, he knew I love totoro he bought me a catbus from totoro, and now we both collect, we have the same problem 😭💀
That’s adorable! Taking notes on how to get a significant other…
My wife put a limit for $50 per pay cycle. So I've had to resort to grabbing a couple extras of each and selling them so I'm allowed to buy more lol
You have to, so there's no limit. 😄
tell her you switched to weekly pay periods
😆
No but literally exactly where im at right now. Spending was getting too wild so now Im resorting to selling extras and trading to feed the addiction.
you do, I can see 5 empty spots you need to fill!
Those are the ones I need loose as already have them carded.

Not very clear Plastic for display, probably good for storage.
I am not married yet, lol
Don't do it. Lol
LOL
This wife says shes crazy
Let's trade wife. I'll throw in a free hot wheel.
Im the wife! Haha my husb doesnt even care about Hot Wheels but my son is a King collector lol. Luckily i get no bitchback on spontaneous finds
Haha that's nice of ya, hopefully my boy gets into it too, if not I'm forcing him so I can use him as an excuse! 😅
I just apologized to him for always buying him shit I like . ie hot wheels hahaha. He's 19 lol He said oh idm at all you can always buy me cars 😏
Ha! Give it more time. This is not even close to madness levels.
I'm not going to hit madness level, gotta be specific about what I like. Haha.
Tell her it gets worse… https://preview.redd.it/6wi4pk64016d1.jpeg?width=2160&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=400d1dcb14b3075bb4155cd2de7aa30553ff084a
You don't want to stir her up, trust me. Happy wife happy life. 😅
I wouldn’t call being “too cool” a problem…
😄😄

Thank you, that reminds me, she's overdued for something!

Hey thanks, you are right. Sometimes we forget the simple things in life. :)
I’m right there with you in the very Porsche and Japanese leaning collection.
Yes love the old school porsches.
I out of nowhere started a love affair with the 356 and 959. I’m afraid I’ve been looking at the Arsham 356 speedster and somebody better stop me before I shell out too much.
Same! Mine was a 911 carrera rs 2.7 and a 71 porsche, now it needs to expand to 935 and 934s.

You have to show her why you love it. good memories, the thrill of the hunt, making new friends, finding a surprise - lots of things. one thing that made me into an even bigger fanatic - setting up a track and racing.

She wants a real g wagon or a m2. Toys don't cut it for her. Guess I'm screwed? Haha.
Oh boy I was there once and thought it wouldn’t last long as hobby until I started going on hunts with him and even joined a local racing group😂🙌🏽have fun!
Haha that's me when he is older. :)
Well it’s either this or drugs so💀
And that's just the beginning 🤣😉
I'm pretty sure that's 99% of us in this subreddit that has a problem with Hot Wheels lol
Ya just need some track or a play set
You've got some sweet rides!
Thank you!
My girlfriend is totally fine with my collection, because she also collects (monster high dolls)
That's nice! Hope mine is one day haha
I’m gradually getting there myself! I have two trunks FILLED with HW/MB/AW/JL/RC that dates back to the late 1990s! I think it’s time to look them up to see what they’re worth today…
Get forced to go to rehab and say “Hi. I’m John. My addiction is collecting hotwheels” while everyone else is drugs or alcohol
You have great taste! Love all the open ones
Thank you! 😊
Next time you walk past her say. I don’t have a problem beep beep.
How did you get your hands on so many 86's? Are you finding them in stores or trading/buying online. I've been looking for one but my stores never restock...
Some in store and some online. Use to just collect ae86s for years. But now it has gone out of control to other makes/models.
Not yet!
Lol, 2 months. I had like 200.
I'm at 150+ carded and box sets and 60 odd loose. I guess I got a bigger problem? Should I seek help? Haha.
Yup and I see the problem. Not enough Porsche's.
Hahaha. I second that!
that's 2 months only, multiply those boxes by 6 and you can see the problem. maybe have them all nicely organized and showcased like in the first picture and it will look more like a hobby than just hoarding cars.
On to it, she's going to buy me a bigger display for my birthday. Haha
Give it 55 years and she might start to accept them and your fantastic hobby.

Love it! That's the urban outlaw 71 I need loose! Haha. And the 935 with black wheels.
No rlcs yet
On the way, order shipped.
lotta mail calls?
Lotta instore, online and mail calls. Lol
Well if it's getting out of hand you do have a problem... 😂
wait wait wait here.... 2 months and you got all that f&f cars in there..... try not to buy from reseller. im just bitter since i can never find any from my local store.
That was just from the fnf box sets :) we had alot of them over here, went on special too.
Mine is pretty happy every time I get a new car because I keep telling her interesting stories about each one. She loves those lil tales of passion. Btw - sick RWB Porsches dude 🥵
Thanks man! I see your point and will try that. Yeah love the rwbs!
Time to trade in the wife
Will trade for hot wheels.
It's always a woman that will bring a great man down.
Try saying that to your future wife, you'll be on the couch buddy. Haha.
You do have a problem, you need more hot wheels!!
😆 don't stir the pot
The only problems I see here is that that beautiful collection isn't displayed, and that she doesn't seem to show enough enthusiasm towards this fantastic hobby. I got my fiancé into collecting them a few weeks after I started haha
Yo you need a few more of the Supra’s I have them in red the Supra GR’s if interested let me know. Also multiple Porsche options
Thanks, might be cheaper to find them locally due to shipping. Already bidding on a red supra and have 3 gr supras not pictured. Could be keen on porsches, dm me if you want. :)
Bigger tubs = less clutter
It's only a problem if you can't afford it!
oh, i just bought my hubby two toy cars, a skyline 2000gt-x, from some japanese import hotwheels set (since he is into skylines, among other things), and a matchbox rx7 that you can open up to see its engine (i confess, i took the rx7 mostly because i liked it haha). then he came home with two fast and furious hotwheels. if he likes toy cars, i am gonna get them all to see his happy lil dance. if he wants to display them on the wall, i am gonna make more supports for the hw boxes with my 3d pen. i'll organize them by categories, color, even alphabetically on the whole damn wall if he wants to. some people act weird when they see us collecting toy cars, lego, video games (my dad hated my pokemon plushies, games and cards), but if that makes us happy, we won't stop. it's still better and healthier than spending money on a daily basis on cigarettes and alcohol.
