jchrisf Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I'd never pay the money these things are going for now but I am curious how much they sold for when they were producing them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranma Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 According to Hot Wheel's collectors news (1997) the 1/24 was around $15.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish I would have gotten one then.. that is a great price for a cool thing like this. I'm seeing them around $450 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THarrison351 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 These things were cool, but I think they went for more than $15 when new. I had Hot Wheels Legends to Life 1/24 red Twin Mill and the regular two car set of the 1/24 and 1/64 green Twin Mill. Bought both sets from the same guy on eBay for real cheap. Sold all of them for a great profit. The green set had the box and everything just needed a good cleaning. Tripled what I paid for them, about $80. The Legend To Life didn't work and was filthy. Cleaned it up and got it working. Here's a video. The scoop was missing on the left engine at this point. I made a resin copy of the right scoop and replaced it. The sounds come from a cassette. Made four times what I paid for it, about $120. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were $15, I wish I would have bought a few of them back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, but who knew then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Colmer Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 That animation stand is awesome! I've never seen that. There was a plastic vet from MPC that had some of the same features. I bid on it but the buyer pulled the item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
