I had a shit load of them when I was little. I think I still have the 24k gold plated set somewhere, and a reproduction of the “matchbox” originals that got their name because they came in a little box that looked like a match box

The valuable ones are the “Treasure Hunts” sometimes labeled as “T-Hunt$” also.

Old Redlines from '68-'77 (red line on the tires) are usually worth quite a bit if theyre in good condition. Treasure Hunts are also worth money but the '07-'09 regular TH’s arent worth much. The super TH’s (Trea$ure Hunt$ on cards) are worth a bit.

The VW Drag Bus is usually worth a decent amount too. Sometimes theres rare variations of different cars (different wheels, interior, etc) that bring good money too.

To be worth the most the cars need to be kept on the cards and the cards must be in good condition (no rips, creases, etc).

Here’s a site I use as a guide: [South Texas Diecast - Hot Wheels Casting Guide / Checklist/ Price Guide](http://southtexasdiecast.com/hwguide.html)  
Its not 100% accurate but a good general idea of value.

No, they dont make one. Just an R32 and theres one currently in stores- its gold.

Cool. I really started seriously collecting Hot Wheels at the end of '07 and have quite a few now. I still have all the cars I had as a kid too.  
I only had a few Transformers as a kid. I was more into Hot Wheels and GI Joe (sold all those).
