Back in 1989 I started collecting Hot Wheels, those tiny little toy cars that kids play with. I started collecting after I found my original collection, from when I was a kid. One of my favorite Hot Wheels to collect was the mini van. Everytime they released a new design on the vans I just had to purchase them. One of my favorite designs was The Heroes Thor van. I think I had to send in ten cardboard card backs to purchase the Thor. It was very hard to open ten packs of cars, because I only collect Hot Wheels in the original packaging. I went ahead and opened 20 packages and sent them in to get my vans. That Halloween, I gave away those loose Hot Wheels to the first 20 kids that came by my house. Those were such a big hit that the next year I had double the brats come to my house. I checked eBay to see the going price on the Thor, and it looks like they're still worth around $25.
Happy collecting, whatever you love!

I can imagine the queue outside your house for free $25 cars!

You're so right. 👍👍
Wow, that's so cool for you to have those vans. And that's such a generous act to give those vans away. May you continue to be Blessed all throughout your life!
I wish I still have my Hot Wheels. I'm a bit older than you are. I graduated high school in 1984. When I left home, I gave all my Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars to a cousin. I bet some of them are worth pretty good coin right now.
🤣 I have 8 years on you.

Ha! I guess I assumed you were a little younger. :-)
He just acts younger. As far as I know, he still watches cartoons.
