How did your collections grow this Christmas?
For the first time in I dunno how long, I didn't get any Hot Wheels this Christmas! Usually the in-laws are good for a bag full, and even casual friends throw me a few because they know I collect...but not this year. It's kinda weird but at the same time, I really don't need anymore anyway!
I was too busy to really treat myself for Christmas, but now that things are calming down, I might see what I can get to start building up my track again. Need to go knock on Slanman's door and see what types of timers he has.
But what did y'all get for Christmas? New cars? Track accessories? Diorama parts?

I got track and about 30 cars to start us off on our track building adventure! Hooray for Amazon sales!
scored one appears to be less common on the shelf, only 1 & it's on 905s wish list, swooped it up for them yoopers.
& grabbed tires for lift projects
threw a Dusty Miles style lifts on one
coil over springs on another off a great video, really cool, don't think he knows about Stone Road. Super ROBUST suspension. Mine on the wonky side, it came together & sits/looks right.
big challenge is doing a PORTAL AXLE STYLE. It makes clearance look very nice. See the Volcano climbing Porsche 911 of 2023 for an example.
Yeah I got a couple hauls for Christmas. But my wallet is crying as a result.
My collection grew -- my bank accont shrunk.
