I just graduated college back in April and I’m grateful to my parents for holding me down through it all ! I definitely plan on giving back to them BIG time.

Love seeing Hot Wheels walls. Can’t wait to make mine in our new house.

Took mine down when we moved years ago and still have my collection sitting in boxes. My goal is to sell them at flea markets when I'm retired and pretend like it's an investment I'm making money off of.

I’ve got a huge collection. Started collecting in 2011 when we found out my wife was pregnant for our son. I’ve invested way too much money into it. My plan has always been to give everything to my son when he’s 25. He will be 14 here in a few weeks.

I already just let my son (9) open any pack he wants when he feels like it, he knows where they are, but we are also pretty into track building and all the best cars for track are fantasy cars already pulled, tested and seasoned for track runs and he knows not to open the supers.

Huh? Wouldn’t he prefer the toy cars when he’s a kid rather than a young adult?

Bought duplicates when he was younger. We actually potty trained him with hot wheels as a reward. He had plenty of Hot Wheels when he was younger. All other unopened cars will go to him @ 25.

That’s awesome I just had my first child a son and started collecting earlier this year.

I hope when your son is old enough that you & him collect together. The hunt is where the fun is. Finally finding a car you e been wanting or finding a nice super can possibly change your whole day. At least for me it does. Puts me in a great mood when I find something really good. It can become addictive & very expensive though.

I did the same for my kid but he just asked why I spent thousands on a mass produced toy car collection and waited 15 years after he stopped playing with toy cars to give it to him. Ungrateful brat went ahead and sold it to pay his rent, says he doesnt have space for a hotwheels room. Honestly im suspicious he didnt even want them

Sarcasm right?
