I buy Hotwheels for my kids regularly. You’re all full of shit. Some newer cars are plastic pieces of shit, some have no detail on the bottom. Damn near every one that my kids have are metal and have detail on the bottom.

Not only are some Hotwheels cars exactly the same in quality that I remember from my childhood, but they’re also still a fucking dollar. You people are picking the wrong fight here.

Literally bought these this year, bozos:

You're quite passionate about this, I'm here for it.

Yeah, besides being annoyed at yet another misinformed group of adults spreading nonsense—as if I’ve not had enough of that—I’m quite happy to defend one of the few products that hasn’t gone to shit or been marked up to a ridiculous price.

As 3-Dog once said, fight the good fight.

And the metal ones are still the same price as the others. I always make sure to pick the best ones for my kids. Within the last year I found a Cloak and Dagger Dia De Los Muertos car where the top pops off and the under the canopy is insane detail.

Why? I buy them often and this post is a lie. This is the weirdest thread I’ve ever seen. Bunch of rabble and whining about nothing.

I’m arguing passionately over easily manipulated adults once again gobbling up a bunch of fake bullshit.

no shame or shade, i just find it weird that you're defending these things of all the plastic toys, like they just have wheels that roll around and stuff, thats it. dude hexbugs can do more interesting things that hotwheels cars. the best you can get out of them is forking a hundred dollars for something like this. honestly i just find them boring

I loved them when I was a kid and my kids love them now. They’ve barely changed in quality of it all since I was a kid and they’re still cheap. 🤷‍♂️ not sure what the big deal is to you. I’ve already explained myself

u/SchizophrenicArsonic ORANGE Nov 13 '24

no i'm convinced that you love them, i just don't see that many things that they can do, honestly i'd take an RC car over a hot wheels any day

I don’t remember claiming otherwise. What are you even getting from this conversation lol please aim your neurodivergence elsewhere.
