I open all my hot wheels
It is your Collection and that’s what you like to do 👍
@@DavidMartinez-ju3eh thank
@@bloodsweatandtearscustoms5559 your welcome
Let’s goooo imma open my shit fuck it😂
@@ab_0127 😂
personally, I open all my castings, I want to play with it, feel it, and enjoy it, premium, basic, vintage, does it matter, all my castings are loose, and half play where, really enjoyed your video
Thank you :)
Hot Wheels display better loose. Yes, they lose resale value but I don’t intend on selling my collection.

@@JAGhost1502 facts, that's why I called the cards prisons you got to get the car out of the prison🤣
Exactly, I buy - I KEEP! 😉🤘👍
You lose like 20% value..people act like you lose 90% value opening it 😭😂
Ah yes, this is the eternal question....isn’t it? Good thoughts for collectors to think about, great vid. Personally, I open everything so that I’m not tempted to buy pieces that I think MIGHT be valuable in the future. My motto is to buy only what I like and then open it. There’s so much joy in actually feeling the car in hand sometimes....ya know? -David
I mean you're not wrong cuz the Bugatti casting from 2020 went up to like $40 now so I mean that one technically went up 400%. I mean in my opinion if you know it's only collectible don't open it but if it's the mainline you really like just open it. I will say I did open a lot of my collectible cars do overtime but doesn't really matter anymore cuz I know I ain't going to sell them.
I only open mines if i got doubles dont matter if its a premium piece or a basic mainline piece. Thats how i collect.🍻🤙
Awesome video! As a woman collector also, I appreciate your honest reviews as you take time to go over small details too and really just enjoy the cars. Thank you.
This is a question that's been plaguing collectors for a long time! I've seen a recent video from Mike Zarnok, the Hot Wheels historian, he says that it's up to you to decide if you want to open or leave your Hot Wheels in their packs, some of the premium cars, like the Fast & Furious, Super Treasure Hunts and Team Transports have real rubber wheels and amazing paint jobs, these would be some that I would leave in their box, as for the mainline cars, they are not worth that much in or out of package because they make sooo many of the same cars. I now have over 700 Hot Wheels in my collection, 98% of them I left in their package, but I did get a few doubles of the ones that I like the most, like the COPO Chevy Camaro and a few more, but space can become a factor in how many Hot Wheels you collect, I would hate having doubles of EVERY car in my collection because of my limited space, so in all, it's up to every collector to decide what they want! Really enjoying your videos!
That's why I buy three if I like a design. One gets freed and the other two are backups. But even though the two in the package remain new, I find that the one I love most is the one that I take out and carry in my handbag or backpack. The paint chips are love marks. It reminds me that that one and I have shared times both good, bad exciting, boring. Life.
Honestly so true dude I love the Dodge Challenger demon so I have four of them one in my car and three in the collection. I agree man something about just having them with you with all the paint Marks overtime just looks so cool.
After 2 years i remember this video so i decide to watch again. I love your passion, lot of CZcamsrs can't feel good about this hobby anymore but they should create a video anyway but your videos feel different thanks!
Nice cars! Hotwheels makes some nice castings, but one of the big reasons I stick with Tomica is the ability to put the car back in the box afterward ;)
Every thing you said was spot on. I wish more women collectors would share their collection and passion for this hobby and their love for cars! 👍✌
I thought about not opening my 1/64s and 1/18s but I... Just... Can't! Lol. So I definitely open all of them up! 😊 Great vid!!
I ordered the purple team truck Porsche rwb and it will come in Friday probably I’m so excited for it 😊
I've read a comment on a video before goes along the line saying "I don't wanna wait my whole life not opening it and have someone else take or buy it from me and have the satisfaction of opening it" i then started opening some of my hotwheels and boi does it feel good
I say OPEN them. You wont get rich selling Hotwheels so why not open them. Love your videos
I enjoy opening and customizing mine and sharing the process on my channel. Of course, my eyes are bigger than my workbench and I'll never finish all the cars I have. But the ones I haven't done yet I leave open for my daughter to play with. She loves them. Thanks for sharing your process!
Thank you :)
Awesome finds congrats. 👍I open up most of my hotwheels but I do keep some on the cards and some I buy 2 1 to open up and 1 to keep on the card.👍
Same here :) Race On !!
Me too Ace! 👍✌
I never open my premium HWs. The art works are just too awesome. My hands shake when I try to open them. So I back track from opening Em up. 😁😁
I like to buy 3 of the premiums of cars I really like - 1 to open, 2 to keep carded. Really great content, I'm really enjoying your videos. Please keep doing them : )
Just found your channel and found it very interesting and unique. Subscribed immediately and will spend some time watching all your videos in the coming days.
I really just got started like a couple days ago. Im a coin collector so i understand the hobby. Im still learning tho and trying to figure out where to go and how to identify things.
Great content. I love seeing all different personalities that enjoy collecting and customizing.
Truly, I think there is value in play. Those common, mass-produced cars should be played with. The only collector cars that will maintain value are those limited edition cars. They sell out quickly. I think super treasure hunts are way over-valued. I think collectors push the price up quickly when they come out. Then they will decrease in value and level out to a point where played with cars will be worth just a little less than those in cards. The other collectible part that I find value in are the cards themselves. Some of the cards have fantastic artwork. Especially the cards that come from comic book characters. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Happy hunting.
Yes they are super treasure hunts over valued the premiums are way better
For a girl who love cars you are very knowledgeable in preservation of your diecast. Yes I open and add.to my collection and many stay carded very interesting
I was thinking about starting colecting hotwheels for a few weeks already and yesterday i got my first one. I just opened it with nail polisher like you showed in the video. :)
Wow, cool video..yes I agree it neater to keep them in the box for storage and if you have some that are going to increase in value in the future..but you have to take them out of the packaging to touch, feel , and enjoy them..great video..
Had to open my first Car Culture collectible(Alfa Romeo from Door Slammers) because it was my first time owning a car that special(also due to the rubber tires). Love that thing, it was perfectly detailed.
Mike Zarnock also says. What ever makes you Happy. I am like you I do both. But yes if it has value or potential for future value I keep it in its original container. I Love collecting Muscle cars. Especially 1957 Chevy's. Great Video. New Fan of your channel. 👍❤️
Thank you so much :)
Yes... the ultimate question... Very nice video!
Great way to start my Monday
Cut the rubber band that keeps the rear deck lid down on your RWB. Eventually, the rubber band will harm the finish on the car.
Love your videos, thank you!
That will just ruin the value
Ante's Vlogs - Debatable. Collectors value things differently.
I have 4 of them. Two are still in the FedEx Sure Post shipping box as sent out by Mattel and the other two have been opened with the rubber bands removed.
@@antesvlogs1384 the rubber band will fuck the value even more tbh
Greetings from Indonesia🇲🇨, Southeast Asian.
There are also more People in Diecast Collections like Hotwheels and Tomica from Japan🇯🇵, among them there are New Beginners. Here (Indonesia), Women also have Diecast Collections. But Me, its been long time I've known Diecast for a long time, since I was little... because I really liked cars when I was little.😁👍👍👍
Greetings back!! Thank you for sharing this 🙂
Fantastic video !! I usually open cars that I have doubles of :) I recently found this years STH GTR !! I was so excited to find that one :) I will not be opening that one :) I like to open the metal/metal real riders as well. Race On !!
Thank you :)
You may want to remove the rubber bands from the HW Rauh-Welt RWB Porsche (on the doors and bonnet/hood/rear end) because the rubber bands will in time destroy the paint. The rubber bands have some sort of corrosive effect and damage the paint over longer time. So if I was you I would open the box, remove the rubber band then place the car in the box again, and use it as a display case.
Do have a lot of Hot Wheels in Germany? Because we don’t have many here in Denmark. I basically have to order all my HW cars online via eBay - premium as well as basic lines.
I mainly collect only Premium lines from HW, because I don’t have a lot of room in my apartment. And I display them in a glass door cabinet hanging on the wall in my living room. And I also store unopened cars in the original packaging - especially the one I have two of.
Are you talking about the black one?
@@slowmo5321 yep
Again a very nice and tacticle video :)
The biggest differences about the mainline Jaguar and premium one will be that usually on the premium the head and tailights will be all set, regardless of any other tampo it has. Mainlines usally have head/tailights set only when there are no other side/top tampos. Other than that, premium has "real riders" (rubber) wheels and its bottom is also made from metal (mainline are usually have metal bodies / plastic on bottom, some track cars are plastic on the body & metal bottom).
Also, as the premium is much more a miniature than a toy, my bet is that the mainline one will fare much better n the orange track. But it's always fun to test it out :) Cheers!
Thank you for all info :)
When i first saw her vids i thought she was a bandwagon investor. But shes a for real car girl. Very cool.
I would’ve had a sick hotwheels collection if i didnt open every hotwheels i bought as a kid
relatable
I collect mostly loose , blister pull in a baggy then in a jammer much less space then cardboard however there are definitely some you don’t open for value reasons nice video 👍👍
I open all no matter what. I like to constantly take out of my display case and put them in dioramas a have lol and when I get one that I'd like to switch out for one I have in my display case I've never have a problem selling it for my I've purchased for even open
Honestly I feel like if it is premium, special, or rare then not to open them. But up to the collector. I kind of enjoy them carded! 😅
If I see something I want to open I'll purchase multiples, if possible, to keep one closed. The cars on the larger cards, like the blue Jaguar and the JH3 cars you have, are premiums. They have higher quality paint, decals, rubber tires on rims not plastic wheels & metal bases, not plastic bases. WOW! You're finding stuff that I'm having great difficulty finding, congrats. Great video, TY for sharing
Thank you !
Personally, i don't open ny hotwheels because the value decreases and too much responsibility keeping the car when loose, faces too much issues. A follower since you started, I would love to have a hotwheels from you please. thanks❤😂
I've tried not to open but they sat there for a long time like a croissant at the coffee shop😊
My ideas by doubles so you can have one open up and wonder display it's worked for me for a long time is with the high dollar units you know had a market for it so that's my procedure and I got over 50000 cars
Great video! I usually buy doubles so i can open one and keep one in the card!
Look on the card the big one's are premium meaning metal base metal body and full tampos .I open the one's that I won't trade or sell or I get two. There are plenty of cars that are extra collectible but if you love it and want to keep it open it! That's my opinion. But I do cut the plastic carefully so I can display it in the card and take it out when ever I like. Thanks.
Just opened three super treasure hunts two treasure hunts and about 20 mainline today I collect diecast not cardboard ❤
Nice collections..Me some of my collections are loose and some are carded
Even some mainline models I keep unopened as I like the card art with it.
Great Hot Wheels! Like!
I liberate and display all my Hot Wheels....even all the highly collectibles
The inner child in me doesn't care if the hot wheel is worth a lot. I'll open and play any day
I like mine carded! It just looks better
I have a skyline r35 and a supra mk5 do I unbox them?
Aceton is the answer to everything. We can open without damaging the package, and we can also repack it as we want
Sweet you rock
Its so cool to see a woman hunt for hotwheels. I only open if I get 2 or more
MDD Always opening them😈🔥 Great Video!
I like to open , use and enjoy even most expencive staff. Thats the point .
I'm team "opening" 😜
I always keep my cars carded, mostly the mail in, super treasure hunt, older rlc or newer rlc cars, because maybe they will go super super rare to have
Hi guys, im new to this hotwheels culture, can you tell me where do you buy yours online ? i sttrugle to find a reliable source of them. Thanks
I love your channel!
How does the nail polish remover work on older HWs?
I have some HWs from 1995 to 97 that I want to open but also want to keep the cards with minimal damage so I'm curious. Have you opened older HWs this way with the nail polish remover?
I am just casual collector so I open mine but I give my best to not damage cardboard that much so I can put car inside when I finish having fun with it.
What is that you use to hold the cars to work on
That question plagues me with both my car and doll collection. For dolls I have the rule that if it's a big bulky plastic blister like most Barbie dolls nowhadays I will open and discard the blister (plastic trash). If it's a "scenic" pack with nice vintage art and the doll is posed in a way i will only remove the rubberbands since those do degrade after a few years and could damage hair etc. But with my Hotwheels it's just so difficult haha. It's small and compact and the card art is really nice to look at. Maybe if I remove the blister bit and only leave the card intact to put in a folder to look at and identify my cars, that could be the ultimate storage solution so far.
I have hundreds of hot wheels and matchbox and red liner from the 1960s 70s and 80s and I was wondering how I can get someone to buy them they’re not in boxes they are in excellent condition.
JDM rules!! :)
My advice for you is that take the RWB that came in the acrylic box, open it and take the plastic band that holds the doors out cause it will damage the paint. Sadly I did it for all my cars that came with it. Is a painful stress to see them get the paint damage!
Very cool
While me, just opening all hot wheels cars lol
You could sell later on by the way. Then get more Hot Wheels and Matchbox toy cars by the way.
I like your content
I usually open mine, mostly they are cheaper models, mass produced so no need to have them in their packages, but if i find some model that i like and thats rare (like 1 of 1000 or 1 of 4000) series that would remain in its packaging. Frankly i don't plan to sell my tiny collection so (yes its tiny, only dozen or so, manga collecting took most of my budget).
I stopped collecting Hoteheels, amazed to see female collector
Love your videos!! Keep it up
Unless you’re a scalper what does it matter how much it’s worth? Enjoy it. Open it. Who cares. When you say the price is going up so you’ll not open it, does that mean you’re going to sell it? If you’re a real collector and you’re actually going to keep it, the potential future value shouldn’t matter. And it certainly shouldn’t keep you from opening. Pointless not to open.
My question to people who keep them for value is : are you going to sell them down the road? If so, well then yeah I get it, but if you are never going to sell them, the value on them is literally worthless, so just open em! When I collect, I intend to keep em forever, so who cares if it depreciates haha
Love your videos
Thank you :)
Awesome video
Thank you very much :)
Just open them! There’s thousands made. Even if you want to sell off the collection later, chances are you won’t get rich either way. Enjoy them for what they are. Just my opinion.
I am going g to be in Germany next year for the mira Luna festival do you have any suggestions on where I should hunt.
Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪, your vids are awesome, keep up the nice work.
Thank you :)
Were do you buy your hot wheels ?
dang can i have the rwb purple its so nice
Aló from México city and send big hugs
I've started collecting them. I also have Hotwheels GT Sport cars. What do you think thimk about them? Thanks!
Thise premiums have metal bases are heavier than mainlines
I don't open most of mine because of storage reasons I only opened the ones with really messed up cards
Also, I Love going to Car Shows with Hot Wheels and die cast vendors. You can find great cars for .50 cents. If I Plan to open them I call them Crackers. I keep my crackers in a clear case that you can get at craft stores. I Love taking them out and checking them out. I also like ones with real rider tires and great paint jobs.
Thank you for sharing with me your HW ways :) Glad to hear it 😊
New here. Nice channel. :)
I do gotta say if it were the case of opening them there’s always the option of putting them in a dosplay case
Great video.. thanks for sharing..
Thank you :)
Woman collector here too.
I open and repaint mine
I did 999th like
Echt guter Tipp, danke dafür!!! 🏎️🔥💪
