== About My Collection and Collecting ==
== About My Collection and Collecting ==
−
I started collecting about a year and a half ago (as of November 2014), and I have to say, I need to get back to it. I have 3 or 4 five-packs, about 8 or so singles, and a duo Monster Truck set. There are some things I need to sell, and I need to sell them ASAP. My collection is posted on my blog page, and is updated whenever a new car is added. I no longer collect full series casts, and I only shoot for cars that I think are interesting and can be worth a little money now or in the future. I am forming a list of targets that I am going to shoot for, but the list is only going to be disclosed with myself and possibly my family, and you won't find out what's on the list until I add it to my collection list, or until I buy it, in other words. I also own my very own page on the wiki, based off of the casting "Bone Beast". I'm surprised no one made one for that one yet, but it seems like it's pretty rare.

I started collecting about a year and a half ago (as of November 2014), and I have to say, I need to get back to it. I have 3 or 4 five-packs, about 8 or so singles, and a duo Monster Truck set. There are some things I need to sell, and I need to sell them ASAP. In March to April, I tossed around the idea of collecting variants, and as of 4/18/15, it's final that I am collecting variants. My collection is posted on my blog page, and is updated whenever a new car is added. I no longer collect full series casts, and I only shoot for cars that I think are interesting and can be worth a little money now or in the future. I am forming a list of targets that I am going to shoot for. The list will now be released and updated frequently. I also own my very own page on the wiki, based off of the casting "Bone Beast". I'm surprised no one made one for that one yet, but it seems like it's pretty rare.
== My History with Hot Wheels Die-Cast Cars ==
== My History with Hot Wheels Die-Cast Cars ==

I started off playing with Hot Wheels ever since I was an infant. I loved Hot Wheels, and I had so many. To this day, I have a box full of Hot Wheels cars and Monster Trucks. 10 years passed, and I found out you can collect the Hot Wheels cars while they are still in the package. Ever since then, I have been saving up my money and putting some aside for my collection. I'm still young, and I haven't been collecting forever, so my collection of in-bubble cars is pretty limited. But still, I enjoy the hobby very much.

== My Collection ==
== My Collection ==
−
'''Selling or definitely selling''': will be sold on eBay for a fair price (loose or in blister pack)
+
No sales will be publicly announced on this page.
−
'''Thinking about selling''': deciding to sell or not
+
Most of my collected casts will not be sold, anyway.
−
'''Not selling''': will remain a part of my collection until I am forced to sell it or give it away (all will be apart of my loose collection unless they are truly rare, such as Neo Classics)
+
If one name is listed but two versions are, their series will be listed next to the casting name, and a semi-colon will be placed. The semi-colon will divide the series's from the colors. Only one color will be listed per version (ex. Red Baron: 25th Anniversary and Vintage; the red represents the 25th Anniversary and the antifreeze represents the Vintage).
−
If you like, you can comment on whether you think I should sell the cars labeled "'''thinking about selling'''", or convince me to keep the cars that say "'''selling'''" or "'''definitely selling'''".
+
Possible Serials will be provided for limited-production casts.
