Storing loose Hot Wheels using car keepers

[Phatmiata]

If you have a bunch of nice "loose" hot wheels, matchbox, or other 1/64 and smaller cars you are probably trying to find a place to keep them safe.

I use the jammers cases aka sewing kit thread organizer boxes

Stores on both sides of the box and has a transparent window so you can easily find whatever cars you are looking for.

Anyhow I had a buddy ask me where I had bought mine at. I originally got them at Walmart for like $15.99 each, back then it was actually labeled as Jammers. But Walmart stopped carrying them as parents bought them for their kids and there was a lawsuit after 1 broke and the rigid plastic cut a child, yadda yadda, yadda, and no more Jammers cases.

So I was pointed by another collector to JC Pennys who had the thread organizers on sale for $15.99 each and free shipping if over $100 spent.

I went to check JC Pennys today and WOW $21.00 each? Really? http://www.jcpenney.com/creative-options-thread-organizer/prod.jump?ppId=pp5002291701&searchTerm=thread+orgainzer&catId=SearchResults&_dyncharset=UTF-8

Then I found some at HobbyLobby.com for $12.99 each which was a good deal as well.

Well Walmart is finally stocking them online now (as thread organizers), and they are only $9.58 with free shipping to your local store, or free shipping to your house if you spend over $50

Anyhow, hope this info helps you guys out with your loose collections.

After going to so many Kmart days I have tons of loose cars now lol. So time to order more cases.


Here is some of my cars stored in these cases

Here's a link to a listing on Amazon for the "thread organizers."

In case Wal-Mart stops carrying them or goes back up on the price (which it looks like WM is matching Amazon's price... or vice versa). I suggest checking the Amazon listing from time to time as the price has a tendency to drop every so often. I've seen it drop to as low as around $7.xx. Also, Amazon also has free shipping on orders over $35, or free regardless of your order total if you're an Amazon Prime member. So you don't have to order as many to get that sweet no cost shipping.

Yup, I've been ordering mine thru Amazon Prime for a while now.
