My best Christmas gift was a Halo Mega Bloks set with a Banshee vehicle and one Covenant Elite Pilot figure. I was amazed because I did not even know there were Lego-like Halo toys. I think the mystery car is a Covelight.
The best gift I had for Christmas was a huge Thomas the Tank Engine Table Train set when I was 3 years. Because Lil old me grew up with the early 2000's Thomas the Tank Engine and I loved it.
Best thing I ever got for Christmas was a 2008 bionicle takanuva warrior set when I was 7. I loved the design of the character and just how huge the set was
I am so hyped to see what comes out of the Acceleracers community in 2024! Though we may not see any official cars released I know the community will still come out with some sweet new creative customs! I would say my best Christmas present was probably when I got my first gaming computer! I got all of the parts for Christmas and built it and was playing games on it that day! My computer has changed a lot since then but I will still never forget that day haha. Keep up the awesome content, I am always excited for a giveaway!
That’s awesome! How long did it take to put it all together? I’ve heard of people putting their PCs together but I’d always be afraid I’d put it together wrong lol
Really looking forward to what the next couple years of Acceleracers will be like!! My favorite AR car will always be a bit of a tossup between Jack Hammer and Battle Spec!
The best Christmas present I got was from a friend this year. He overheard about how I collect Acceleracers and went ahead and got me a Battle Spec and Spine Buster. He is the best friend anyone could have and I wouldn't trade him for the world.
My favorite Christmas present was either the PlayStation 1 with Spyro and crash bandicoot, or having my car seats reupholstered for my 1973 Plymouth roadrunner! Happy new year everyone!
@@theacceleracershub2904 I’m not sure if they make new games but I know a few years ago they remastered the series of the old games for the new consoles
My favorite Christmas present has actually been this most recent Christmas. I just got back into collecting and watching Highway 35/Acceleracers and I got a bunch of carded World Race cars including Ballistik, Power Pistons, Moto-Crossed, IROC Firebird and the 63 Corvette as gifts. Glad to be back in the community!
That’s awesome!! Shoutout to the collectors who have kept them sealed for years too, it’s amazing that we can still find them new in the package 20 years later
One of two things 1. The Acceledrome on Christmas 2005. Came with three cars and got an extra Covelight, which I had hunted for a while and had very recently found so it was cool to have a second out of nowhere 2. A random carded 05 Power Rage from my brother in 2012 after he found a big stash of Acceleracers at a discount store at my local mall. I already had basically everything there was to own but it was random, thoughtful, and put a big smile on my face
That was my one disappointment with my acceledrome, I’m pretty sure I got mine in 2005 for Christmas too, but it only came with a Bassline - I had hoped mine would be one of the ones with the extra carded cars. Sheesh I had no idea Acceleracers cars were still in circulation in malls in 2012 that’s wild
I remember back when i was about 7 maybe 8, not sure. I got nearly every acceleracers car. Which was madness as they all needed to be bought from the states, along with the Acceledrome, Swamp realm, Sweeper AND catapillar hyperpod. Was a NUTS christmas. But christmas present number 1 would have to be the Mega Bloks Halo Scaran signature series set. Was such a surprise to get it and what a massive set it was. Completely nerded out. Happy new years!
One of the coolest Christmas presents I ever got would have to be a PS2. I have many fond memories of playing old PS2 games. I loved playing the heck out of the original Ratchet and Clank Trilogy and I'm also very fond of Hot Wheels Beat that.
Man, the best Christmas present was the Swamp Realm track set. I wanted it so bad throughout the year, and I basically freaked out when I unwrapped it. I played with that thing all day. May have ruined the paint job on some of the teku cars because of the booster, but I don't regret it.
The best Christmas present I ever received was a Transformers Armada Wheeljack back in 2003 (I think. Might’ve been 2002). He was my favorite character in one of my favorite animated series as a kid. He still sits on my book shelf.
In Christmas 2011 all the local kids got nerf guns and turned our whole block into Baghdad. We were committing 187 drive-by crimes every hour on the hour 😤😤😤
My best Christmas present I gotten was my PS3 slim that I still have to this day I made good memories on that consul meeting new friends, playing great games and etc.
I remember getting gifted my first up to date smartphone for christmas many years ago. I went on to use that phone for a good 6 years before moving on. As for hot wheels, I did get a 1:18 Ferrari Enzo which I loved one year
My best was when I received my PlayStation 3 Original. It was when my whole family was over that year, and we all wanted to know how much deeper Sony went with the Console. We played the very few new games we had for the console all day.
That’s awesome! I remember when they were first making the sky landers figures that you could send into your Wii, that was like the coolest concept ever
The best present I got was last Xmas, my girlfriend ordered a carded baseline from America since there's not much for sale here in Australia. First carded car in my collection and looking forward to getting more 💯
best thing I ever got for Christmas was a scooter, I was 8 at the time and my bike broke down, so I rode it everywhere, now Im older, and it is sad to see it in the garage, but it brings many good memories.
The best Christmas gift I ever got was a Lego car transporter, I felt like Porkchop driving Old Smokey bringing some brand new cars to the Metal Maniacs
I really do commend your abikity to keep this community going. The best Chistmas present I remember in my childhood was a care package my great-grandfather got me every year. He filled them with chocolate, fruit, a gift card, and of course HotWheels
Hard to narrow down my favorite Christmas present. But my favorite Acceleracers Christmas present was a Reverb. One of the only super-rare Acceleracers cars that I got as a kid.
The best Christmas present I ever got would probably be when I was 8. I got the Star Wars Clone Wars AT-TE walker with a clone trooper action figure. I have always been a huge Star Wars fan so getting that was amazing. I played with it all day!
Hmmm, probably one of my favorite Christmas gifts had to have been getting Hot Wheels: Beat That for the PS2. Loved that game to bits and was very happy to see AcceleRacers cars in it when first playing it back then.
One of my favorite christmas gifts was the hot wheels acceleracers ratified. My dad just came back from deployment and I didn’t think I’d be able to get an acceleracers toy because I heard they were rare. When we opened up the gifts I had some acceleracers cars but not the colorway until i saw ratified at the bottom of the box. It brings good memories because I got to spend time with my dad before he left again for deployment. it my first also my first and only acceleracers toy which is why i love it. I lost all my highway 35 cars but still have ratified next to my tv😂
Hey man! One of the best Christmas presents I ever got was back in 2006/2007, where I got a carded 2006 Bassline and a massive RC pickup truck that had lights and sounds, remote opening doors, and speakers in the back which can play music from an MP3 player (are you noticing a pattern? LOL XD). Christmas the past few years hasn't honestly been the best, though. :( I do wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year man! :)
@@theacceleracershub2904 For me it was what really got me into acceleracers honestly aside from the movies. Great memories from that I wish I still had it.
I don't remember how old i was but when i was little an uncle of mine got me a miniturised version of a drumm kit for kids ,and even though i managed to break it that day i didn't throw it away until the plastic was breaking off it from it being old and ravaged by the sun
Best present I got had to be the Acceleracers card game started set that I have, because it also has allow me to play with some friends and teach them and also get some more cards to make the game more fun
I remember buying Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST for my birthday at Gamestop. Later that year, on Christmas day, my Mom and Dad got me an Xbox 360 so I could play them. Best games I've played to this day still! As for my Acceleracers cars, My favorite car in the lineup is Rivited, Muscle cars are my favorite type of car, and Taro is my second favorite character. For Teku cars, I have to go with Reverb or Tekuized Slingshot. I know Slingshot wasn't in the toy line bit the design was always cool to me. For Scilencerz I'm picking Iridium and Covlight. It's not hard to pick because most of the models in the team arent great. And for the Drones I liked RD-03 and RD-06.
A bunch of my friends swear by Halo 3 as well - they say it was the best Halo ever made. Getting my Xbox 360 was one of the pivotal moments for me in middle school, all of a sudden it was a party with my buddies every day after school!
@@theacceleracershub2904 You never know what you missed out on until it's gone... I will always remember Halo even if I didn't get the full multiplayer experience.
@theacceleracershub2904 I really miss the old feelings that Halo and Call of Duty had. The bitter rivalry from the communities was hilarious 😂. We definitely gotta hang out on some Zombies and make some new memories.
The best Christmas present I’ve ever gotten was the Xbox 360 with forza horizon 3 plus the hot wheels expansion it was the best thing at the time and I can think of the amount of hours I spent on the hot wheels tracks
Best Christmas gift I got was when my parents bought me a PS2! I was old enough to know our financial situation but they pulled together to get me one it came with ATV offroad fury 2 and that was the only game I could play until we could afford a new game! My little brother and I still play it
To stay with the theme, the best thing I remember getting for Christmas from the top of my head was the Acceledrome set. But the funny thing about that is that that was some time after I found the series and a good few years after AR concluded. No clue how or where my parents managed to find a still sealed set at that point but it makes me appreciate it even more thinking back on it. Huge shame it isn't around anymore...
That’s awesome! Hmm I wonder where they found it at, literally everything Acceleracers near me vanished in early 2006, never saw anything else on shelves anywhere
Im excited to see what is coming next! My favorite memories were going to Walmart and searching through the pegs so find new acceleracers I had not found before.
@theacceleracershub2904 I remember overused doing the rd08 I thought he was gonna do a chicane next , that would be sweet considering I have a rc car sitting around if I can get a teku of mm body that might revive it.
Some of the best Christmas gifts I've gotten thus far were a Pokemon BDSP Limited Edition Nintendo Switch Lite, and a Kotobukiya Zoids Berserk Fury, both of which I received from a close friend of mine in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
@@theacceleracershub2904 Honestly, no. It felt like a copy paste of Diamond and Pearl, with little of the improvements seen in Platinum. It's not a bad game per se, but it did little to improve, in stark contrast to every other remake before it. If anything, Legends Arceus was much better.
I would say the best Christmas present I gotten that I did not think at the time was my favourite was the box set acceleracers movies that came with some cards as well, sadly I lost the cover and the cards that came with it but still have the movies. Because of this hot wheels acceleracers and world race are my favourite movies of all time and now starting my collection. So very happy to be part of this community and waiting for the return of the series that deserves an ending
Best Christmas present was getting the Nintendo DS Lite, along with all of my cousins. It was seriously so much fun getting to play with my cousins in Pictochat and everything. Very very memorable. Keep up the content man!
Duuuude I had totally forgotten about PictoChat! That first year we all had DSs we played ABSURD amounts of mariokart lol, it made road trips go by in a flash
I think my favorite Christmas present has to be my first desktop PC in ~2013. It was an HP office PC that didn't even have a dedicated graphics card, but that computer helped me join so many communities and follow a ton of interests through the past decade, with Acceleracers being one of those. Thanks for hosting the giveaway, hopefully the car goes to someone who will enjoy it!
Fr fr, getting my first laptop was a game changer - the whole internet world was at my fingertips. I had a crappy graphics card too, but I gamed as much as I possibly could on that rig
@@theacceleracershub2904 Same here, my obsession with Team Fortress 2 started on that PC. Used to play it every day after middle school, and now I'm still playing it when I'm about to graduate college lol
I’m so glad I found this channel. I’ve been a World Race/Acceleracers fan as long as I can remember. I’m grateful to have the parents and grandparents that I do because they got me all the World Race cars, I still have a full unboxed set as well, I have nearly all Acceleracers cars (minus Chicane, Flathead Fury and Piledriver) and I have all the track sets. I’ve recently gotten into a resurgence and actually purchased a fresh Stingray and Krazy 8s. I really want to find a custom Acceleracers Teku Deora II & Slingshot, it’s been my goal for years. I do have a mostly white slingshot variation I could try with but there’s no way I could get the paint job perfect for the decals
Welcome!! Sheeeeesh you have the coolest grandparents and parents around - Metrometrics is definitely your guy for custom cars, he’s one of the best around if you’re looking to buy custom cars
@@theacceleracershub2904 I sent him a message on eBay just to check in! I actually ordered a dvd pack of the Greatest Challenge chapter (my fav cause Marky gets introduced) with a sealed Slingshot and Backdraft, stoked for that to arrive as well!
Here's hoping the Mattel gives us some love after two decades. But we'll just have to see. Anyway, I think the best Christmas present I've ever gotten was actually from recent years. And it's a bit strange, but I'll explain. Ever since the mess that was 2020, I've been a part of a Die-cast racing community here on the Tube of You. Basically, it's an entire community dedicated to the collection, modification, and competition of 1/64 scale cars, (Such as Hotwheels, Matchbox, ect.) that are mailed out to actual track hosts and are raced here on TH-cam. Sometimes there are prizes like cash, a trophy, or even the other cars that were racing. Anyway, ever since I got into the community, I've wanted to build and host my own tournaments for people, but I didn't have the space for a racetrack. Save for a big table in the basement of my house that I was using for a Lego city layout that my family and I had for the longest time. It was covered in tarps to keep the dust off and never saw that much use once I started to grow up. So, i figured no one would mind if I cleaned it off and used it for my own project. But thanks to life and work, I never got around to it, as well as a lack of storage space for the sheer amount of Legos on the table. And I started to lose interest. That is, until the Christmas of 2021. My family and I open our gifts to each other, like every year, but not every gift was under the tree... My brother pulls me aside and tells me to go to the basement. I do so and see nothing out of the ordinary. That is, until my brother tells me to pull the tarps off the Lego table. When I do: there aren't any legos. Just bare wood. I literally started to cry. My Mom and My Brother had been cleaning off the table while I was at work, and they made it one hell of a surprise. So, the best Christmas gift I ever got was the ability to pursue my silly little dream of building a Die-cast Racetrack. And I'm proud to say, I'm still chasing that dream. The track is coming along nicely and I hope to hold my first official tournament this summer! (Sorry for making this a bit of a read, I figured it either wouldn't make sense or sound super cheesy if I didn't give any context lol)
Just to keep with the acceleracers theme. I also got the swamp realm track set and it was awesome. The swamp beast would growl at your car as it drove around and then you could destroy it which was sick. I unfortunately don’t know what happened to it though. :(
the best Christmas present I ever got was my Xbox One in 2013. That console was hard to find back when it came out and I didn’t even know if I was going to get one or not. It’s probably my most played console ever and I definitely have the most games for that console. At the beginning of the consoles life it wasn’t really so great but then more games came out and they added backwards compatibility for original Xbox and 360 games so my library is huge now. I upgraded to the Series X in 2021 so now all those games can play in a gorgeous 4k resolution and the load times are insanely fast with the SSD hard drive. Series X is the next generation of Xbox but it also feels like a more powerful Xbox One, it’s 100% worth it.
man for the best gift i got would had to be my gaming pc well the shell of it we had to wait for the other parts to get in but yea and i still have the case to this day
The best Christmas gift I got is a transformers legacy evolution leader class armada megatron because I always wanted one for my collection and now it have it! And I'm down for this giveaway!!!!!
If I was watching the ball drop, I would watch it on TH-cam, since the news does post clips here on YT. I did stay up, I was playing Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (PlayStation 2). And if you wanted to know about a best present I’ve gotten in the past, it definitely was a Wii U, even Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros., and Super Mario Maker! I’ve been having fun playing online in SMM over the years!
Great picks! Super smash bros was the first game I got for my Wii back in the day and my friends and I definitely put in hundreds and hundreds of hours on it
The best thing i received in christmas was a couple of mcdonalds toys. It was not a car nor acceleracers because its expensive here in the philippines 😅 but i absolutely love it
Oof this is a toughie. Id jave to say the best thing ive ever gotten would be what I got this year, a smart watch. It is so convenient in every way with the life style I have right now
I currently don't remember much from my early years but one pf the bests was either the PlayStation 4 or that time I got a Lego Millennium Falcon and X-Wing (both from episode 7). By that time, I have become a fan of the series (which is curious because I enjoy the OG Lego Star Wars game, but hadn't seen the movies) and really enjoyed them and still have them with me. PD: really hope the mystery silencer is not Technitium or Anthracite, in case I get to won. Also, when did Anthracite become a top of the line silnecer? I thought it was Iridium rarity at most lmao
It may be cliche but my best Christmas gift has to be a real car. It was around October/November when we were looking for a potential car. So the timing was in my parents’ favor. I kind of expected it since i gave all of my money on the said car to my parents, they just didn’t tell me when i’d get to actually go pick it up. But then bam! I opened up a little box & there were the keys to my first car. I feel a bit dishonored not being able to buy it myself but i think it’s still pretty cool. The Acceledrome track you got must’ve been a blast, i can imagine. But i feel with the bike a ton. Great video!
A Volkswagen Golf Variant 8th gen. It’s a bit recent, yeah. There were many personal reasons as of why and why not to buy the car. But it’s a solid vehicle & works perfectly. I just can’t praise it enough
@acceleracershub(teasing mode) um...in your newest video I was trying to forget what happened to Kadeem and the drawing of RD-01's drones car brought it back to my mind

My fav car is Synkro
Great choice!
my favorite car is chicane
Great pick! I wish I could have found one as a kid

I think the mystery car is a Covelight.
That’s awesome! I wish I could afford all the Lego sets they make these days, there’s so many cool ones.
Not quite in the guess, but close!
Best christmas present i received was a nintendo wii back when it was big
Oooh that’s awesome!! What was the first wii game you played?
The best gift I had for Christmas was a huge Thomas the Tank Engine Table Train set when I was 3 years. Because Lil old me grew up with the early 2000's Thomas the Tank Engine and I loved it.
Very cool!
My best Christmas Gift I got was a Panini Press and after I got it I learned how to make killer sandwiches.
Duuuuude that sounds awesome! I’ve never even heard of that I’m gonna have to check it out
Best thing I ever got for Christmas was a 2008 bionicle takanuva warrior set when I was 7. I loved the design of the character and just how huge the set was
That’s awesome! I’ve heard that the AR community has a bunch of similar fans with the bionicle community
Best present - basketball hoop because basketball is fun
Hell yeah bro hoops over everything! Do you keep up with any nba or college teams?
the best gift i ever had was tickets to the 24 hours of lemans

That’s awesome! Happy new year to you too!

That’s amazing! I asked for that one but got the acceledrome - still cool but the swamp realm would have had me squealing
The best Christmas present I ever received was a Transformers Armada Wheeljack back in 2003 (I think. Might’ve been 2002). He was my favorite character in one of my favorite animated series as a kid. He still sits on my book shelf.
I was a big wheeljack fan too - was that the figure that was white with gold and green stripes on the hood?
In Christmas 2011 all the local kids got nerf guns and turned our whole block into Baghdad. We were committing 187 drive-by crimes every hour on the hour 😤😤😤
That is hilarious 😂😂 nerf was the golden era for us too, at least until airsoft took off
I got the Acceledrome playset and Sweeper for Christmas one year. Definitely major highlights of my presents over the years
Duuuuude a sweeper under the Christmas tree would have had me swinging from the chandeliers as a kid!
My best Christmas present I gotten was my PS3 slim that I still have to this day I made good memories on that consul meeting new friends, playing great games and etc.
That’s awesome!! I had the same experience, just with Xbox 360!
I remember getting gifted my first up to date smartphone for christmas many years ago. I went on to use that phone for a good 6 years before moving on. As for hot wheels, I did get a 1:18 Ferrari Enzo which I loved one year

My best was when I received my PlayStation 3 Original. It was when my whole family was over that year, and we all wanted to know how much deeper Sony went with the Console. We played the very few new games we had for the console all day.
Great pick! I remember getting my Xbox 360 and it was mindblowing going from a Nintendo DS to a real console
My favorite Christmas gift ever would have to be my dog Penny. I was so surprised when my parents got her for our family a few Christmas’ ago!
Aww can’t beat a doggo!!
The best gift i had was a massive skylanders opening that makes up 75% of my collection today
That’s awesome! I remember when they were first making the sky landers figures that you could send into your Wii, that was like the coolest concept ever
The best present I got was last Xmas, my girlfriend ordered a carded baseline from America since there's not much for sale here in Australia. First carded car in my collection and looking forward to getting more 💯

best thing I ever got for Christmas was a scooter, I was 8 at the time and my bike broke down, so I rode it everywhere, now Im older, and it is sad to see it in the garage, but it brings many good memories.
I hear you! I got a scooter the year before I got my bike, they were both huge highlights for me

Ooooh nice!! I would have flipped out if I had gotten a reverb for Christmas lol

Duuuuude I remember getting Star Wars action figures and play sets too, every now and then I get the itch to buy some vintage ones from the 80s
My favorite car is the rd-05
Hmmm, probably one of my favorite Christmas gifts had to have been getting Hot Wheels: Beat That for the PS2.
Loved that game to bits and was very happy to see AcceleRacers cars in it when first playing it back then.
Heck yeah! I’m still stunned that Cosmic realm Spectyte managed to slip in tbere
My best gift was my first computer because I was always playing on the family computer before and having my own was amazing!
True that!! Getting my first laptop was a game changer tbh
One of my favorite christmas gifts was the hot wheels acceleracers ratified. My dad just came back from deployment and I didn’t think I’d be able to get an acceleracers toy because I heard they were rare.

Hey man! One of the best Christmas presents I ever got was back in 2006/2007, where I got a carded 2006 Bassline and a massive RC pickup truck that had lights and sounds, remote opening doors, and speakers in the back which can play music from an MP3 player (are you noticing a pattern? LOL XD). Christmas the past few years hasn't honestly been the best, though. :( I do wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy new year man! :)
Duuuude that is awesome! I would have flipped out over a Gen 2 Bassline for Christmas or any Gen 2 cars really
Dawg my best Christmas present was the acceladrome track set when I kid it was the best thing growing up.
Me too!!! I was convinced I’d never get it till I saw it under the tree!
@@theacceleracershub2904 For me it was what really got me into acceleracers honestly aside from the movies. Great memories from that I wish I still had it.
I don't remember how old i was but when i was little an uncle of mine got me a miniturised version of a drumm kit for kids ,and even though i managed to break it that day i didn't throw it away until the plastic was breaking off it from it being old and ravaged by the sun
That’s awesome! I used to want a drum set as a kid but I was always told it’d be too loud
i can see why
The best thing i got for Christmas was the 3 movies from accelerracer on dvd i watched them
Allot.
That’s awesome! Were you missing the fourth movie?
@@theacceleracershub2904 yeah, I'm from Austria we never got the fourth movie on DVD.
Best present I got had to be the Acceleracers card game started set that I have, because it also has allow me to play with some friends and teach them and also get some more cards to make the game more fun
That’s awesome! I’m glad the card game has gotten so popular in recent years, especially with channels like the Accelerons playing it
I remember buying Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST for my birthday at Gamestop. Later that year, on Christmas day, my Mom and Dad got me an Xbox 360 so I could play them. Best games I've played to this day still!
As for my Acceleracers cars,
My favorite car in the lineup is Rivited, Muscle cars are my favorite type of car, and Taro is my second favorite character.
For Teku cars, I have to go with Reverb or Tekuized Slingshot. I know Slingshot wasn't in the toy line bit the design was always cool to me.
For Scilencerz I'm picking Iridium and Covlight. It's not hard to pick because most of the models in the team arent great.
And for the Drones I liked RD-03 and RD-06.
A bunch of my friends swear by Halo 3 as well - they say it was the best Halo ever made. Getting my Xbox 360 was one of the pivotal moments for me in middle school, all of a sudden it was a party with my buddies every day after school!
@@theacceleracershub2904 You never know what you missed out on until it's gone... I will always remember Halo even if I didn't get the full multiplayer experience.
@@christianwaters1114 it’s amazing how we get soft spots for certain games and niches - I always go back to black ops 1, just can’t ever get enough!
@theacceleracershub2904 I really miss the old feelings that Halo and Call of Duty had. The bitter rivalry from the communities was hilarious 😂.
We definitely gotta hang out on some Zombies and make some new memories.
The best gift I ever got was the Acceledrome track set. I got it this past Christmas and I've been using it for hours on end.
Duuuude that is awesome! I wish I would have kept the one I had a couple years back
The best Christmas present I’ve ever gotten was the Xbox 360 with forza horizon 3 plus the hot wheels expansion it was the best thing at the time and I can think of the amount of hours I spent on the hot wheels tracks
That is awesome!! Getting my Xbox 360 was a life highlight for me too lol
Best gift i got was probably the acceledrome trackset as well! Played the heck out of that thing
Hell yeah!!! I found my old picture unboxing it I’ll have to post it on my community tab lol
Best Christmas gift I got was when my parents bought me a PS2! I was old enough to know our financial situation but they pulled together to get me one it came with ATV offroad fury 2 and that was the only game I could play until we could afford a new game! My little brother and I still play it
That’s awesome!! I think madden was the first Xbox game I got, and I played that thing religiously until I could afford call of duty lol
@theacceleracershub2904 When I got my 360 I bought the mw3 version that's the first COD I owned 😅
My Xbox One, that genuinly changed my life, to finally have a console to play games with friends on a brand new console
FACTS! My first real console other than a Wii was my Xbox 360 and it was like a whole new world opened up for me
@@theacceleracershub2904 dude my first 2 games, Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, and Forza Motorsport 6
To stay with the theme, the best thing I remember getting for Christmas from the top of my head was the Acceledrome set.
But the funny thing about that is that that was some time after I found the series and a good few years after AR concluded. No clue how or where my parents managed to find a still sealed set at that point but it makes me appreciate it even more thinking back on it.
Huge shame it isn't around anymore...
That’s awesome! Hmm I wonder where they found it at, literally everything Acceleracers near me vanished in early 2006, never saw anything else on shelves anywhere
Im excited to see what is coming next! My favorite memories were going to Walmart and searching through the pegs so find new acceleracers I had not found before.
That’s awesome! I used to scour the shelves looking for reverb - never got lucky enough to find it!
My favorite Christmas gift that got was a Lego mustang
Oooh that’s cool! How long did it take to put it together?
@@theacceleracershub2904 about 2 hours
I'd say the best Christmas present I got was a huge rc driving car that looked like a dune buggy it was awesome.
That’s awesome! I can’t wait till customizers start selling giant RC AR cars!
@theacceleracershub2904 I remember overused doing the rd08 I thought he was gonna do a chicane next , that would be sweet considering I have a rc car sitting around if I can get a teku of mm body that might revive it.
Some of the best Christmas gifts I've gotten thus far were a Pokemon BDSP Limited Edition Nintendo Switch Lite, and a Kotobukiya Zoids Berserk Fury, both of which I received from a close friend of mine in 2021 and 2022, respectively.
Oooh that’s awesome! Was BDSP any good? I never made it past ORAS
@@theacceleracershub2904 Honestly, no. It felt like a copy paste of Diamond and Pearl, with little of the improvements seen in Platinum. It's not a bad game per se, but it did little to improve, in stark contrast to every other remake before it. If anything, Legends Arceus was much better.
I wish I could get a hold of just one AcceleRacers car... I don't have any of them anymore..
It’s never too late to grab em on ebay!
@theacceleracershub2904 yeah that's true. But I've gotten scammed on there numerous times and the cars are so expensive 😫
I would say the best Christmas present I gotten that I did not think at the time was my favourite was the box set acceleracers movies that came with some cards as well, sadly I lost the cover and the cards that came with it but still have the movies. Because of this hot wheels acceleracers and world race are my favourite movies of all time and now starting my collection. So very happy to be part of this community and waiting for the return of the series that deserves an ending
That’s awesome! I do remember a few of my movie copies coming with trading cards, it was an amazing surprise
The best Christmas present was the Playstation 3! I played a lot
Nice!! My Xbox 360 was lowkey life changing for me going from a Nintendo DS to a real console
I don't really know what my best Christmas present was, but I did get the Lion Knights Castle set this year which was really dope 👍
Ooh that’s wicked!!!
Best christmas present was probably the jersey of my favorite soccer player Theo Walcott
Very cool! What soccer team is your favorite?
@@theacceleracershub2904 Arsenal!
Best Christmas present was getting the Nintendo DS Lite, along with all of my cousins. It was seriously so much fun getting to play with my cousins in Pictochat and everything. Very very memorable. Keep up the content man!
Duuuude I had totally forgotten about PictoChat! That first year we all had DSs we played ABSURD amounts of mariokart lol, it made road trips go by in a flash
This is it this is my time to win! I can feel it!
Also my best Christmas present is when I got a .22 BB rifle!
Haha may the odds be ever in your favorite my man!
in 2014 i got Alpha Sapphire when i lost all hope that i wouldnt get it at release my grandpa gave it to me at christmas i will never forget that
Dude I put in hundreds of hours on alpha sapphire lol - still one of my all time faves
same its my favourite region after all too
@@theacceleracershub2904
My favorite Christmas present I’ve ever gotten was this year! My wife got me a Chicane prototype 😮💨😮💨
Sheeeeesh does your wife have sisters?? Asking for the community
I think my favorite Christmas present has to be my first desktop PC in ~2013. It was an HP office PC that didn't even have a dedicated graphics card, but that computer helped me join so many communities and follow a ton of interests through the past decade, with Acceleracers being one of those. Thanks for hosting the giveaway, hopefully the car goes to someone who will enjoy it!
Fr fr, getting my first laptop was a game changer - the whole internet world was at my fingertips. I had a crappy graphics card too, but I gamed as much as I possibly could on that rig
@@theacceleracershub2904 Same here, my obsession with Team Fortress 2 started on that PC. Used to play it every day after middle school, and now I'm still playing it when I'm about to graduate college lol
@@det_tf2 it’s amazing how we get soft spots for certain games, I go back to Black Ops 1 all the time
also thank you I received my order from your website!! Super dope thank you
Of course bro thanks for the purchase!
I’m so glad I found this channel. I’ve been a World Race/Acceleracers fan as long as I can remember. I’m grateful to have the parents and grandparents that I do because they got me all the World Race cars, I still have a full unboxed set as well, I have nearly all Acceleracers cars (minus Chicane, Flathead Fury and Piledriver) and I have all the track sets. I’ve recently gotten into a resurgence and actually purchased a fresh Stingray and Krazy 8s. I really want to find a custom Acceleracers Teku Deora II & Slingshot, it’s been my goal for years. I do have a mostly white slingshot variation I could try with but there’s no way I could get the paint job perfect for the decals
Welcome!! Sheeeeesh you have the coolest grandparents and parents around - Metrometrics is definitely your guy for custom cars, he’s one of the best around if you’re looking to buy custom cars
@@theacceleracershub2904 I sent him a message on eBay just to check in! I actually ordered a dvd pack of the Greatest Challenge chapter (my fav cause Marky gets introduced) with a sealed Slingshot and Backdraft, stoked for that to arrive as well!
Here's hoping the Mattel gives us some love after two decades. But we'll just have to see.
Anyway, I think the best Christmas present I've ever gotten was actually from recent years. And it's a bit strange, but I'll explain. Ever since the mess that was 2020, I've been a part of a Die-cast racing community here on the Tube of You. Basically, it's an entire community dedicated to the collection, modification, and competition of 1/64 scale cars, (Such as Hotwheels, Matchbox, ect.) that are mailed out to actual track hosts and are raced here on TH-cam. Sometimes there are prizes like cash, a trophy, or even the other cars that were racing. Anyway, ever since I got into the community, I've wanted to build and host my own tournaments for people, but I didn't have the space for a racetrack. Save for a big table in the basement of my house that I was using for a Lego city layout that my family and I had for the longest time. It was covered in tarps to keep the dust off and never saw that much use once I started to grow up. So, i figured no one would mind if I cleaned it off and used it for my own project. But thanks to life and work, I never got around to it, as well as a lack of storage space for the sheer amount of Legos on the table. And I started to lose interest.
That is, until the Christmas of 2021. My family and I open our gifts to each other, like every year, but not every gift was under the tree... My brother pulls me aside and tells me to go to the basement. I do so and see nothing out of the ordinary. That is, until my brother tells me to pull the tarps off the Lego table. When I do: there aren't any legos. Just bare wood. I literally started to cry. My Mom and My Brother had been cleaning off the table while I was at work, and they made it one hell of a surprise.
So, the best Christmas gift I ever got was the ability to pursue my silly little dream of building a Die-cast Racetrack. And I'm proud to say, I'm still chasing that dream. The track is coming along nicely and I hope to hold my first official tournament this summer! (Sorry for making this a bit of a read, I figured it either wouldn't make sense or sound super cheesy if I didn't give any context lol)
That’s amazing!! Sounds like your family is fantastic - are you planning to take any video of your tournament? I’d love to watch some of it
@theacceleracershub2904 Yes, sir!
Just to keep with the acceleracers theme. I also got the swamp realm track set and it was awesome. The swamp beast would growl at your car as it drove around and then you could destroy it which was sick. I unfortunately don’t know what happened to it though. :(
Aghhhh I’m jealous I wanted that swamp beast trackset so badly lol. I used to think there would be a trackset for every realm
the best Christmas present I ever got was my Xbox One in 2013. That console was hard to find back when it came out and I didn’t even know if I was going to get one or not. It’s probably my most played console ever and I definitely have the most games for that console. At the beginning of the consoles life it wasn’t really so great but then more games came out and they added backwards compatibility for original Xbox and 360 games so my library is huge now. I upgraded to the Series X in 2021 so now all those games can play in a gorgeous 4k resolution and the load times are insanely fast with the SSD hard drive. Series X is the next generation of Xbox but it also feels like a more powerful Xbox One, it’s 100% worth it.
Duuuude the Xbox 360 and Xbox one eras are like the peak of my gaming career it was so much fun
man for the best gift i got would had to be my gaming pc well the shell of it we had to wait for the other parts to get in but yea and i still have the case to this day
That’s awesome! Can’t go wrong with a gaming PC!
The best Christmas gift I got is a transformers legacy evolution leader class armada megatron because I always wanted one for my collection and now it have it! And I'm down for this giveaway!!!!!
Duuuude that is awesome! Do you have a big transformers collection?
@@theacceleracershub2904 well some what im too lazy to do a transformers collection video
If I was watching the ball drop, I would watch it on TH-cam, since the news does post clips here on YT. I did stay up, I was playing Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (PlayStation 2).
And if you wanted to know about a best present I’ve gotten in the past, it definitely was a Wii U, even Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros., and Super Mario Maker! I’ve been having fun playing online in SMM over the years!
Great picks! Super smash bros was the first game I got for my Wii back in the day and my friends and I definitely put in hundreds and hundreds of hours on it
The best thing i received in christmas was a couple of mcdonalds toys. It was not a car nor acceleracers because its expensive here in the philippines 😅 but i absolutely love it
That’s awesome!! Can’t beat free toys
Oof this is a toughie. Id jave to say the best thing ive ever gotten would be what I got this year, a smart watch. It is so convenient in every way with the life style I have right now
Oooh that’s awesome! Is it an Apple Watch? I’ve been kicking around the idea of a smartwatch, I’ve only ever had a Fitbit
@@theacceleracershub2904 not an apple watch, I have a google phone so its a samsung watch
I currently don't remember much from my early years but one pf the bests was either the PlayStation 4 or that time I got a Lego Millennium Falcon and X-Wing (both from episode 7). By that time, I have become a fan of the series (which is curious because I enjoy the OG Lego Star Wars game, but hadn't seen the movies) and really enjoyed them and still have them with me.
PD: really hope the mystery silencer is not Technitium or Anthracite, in case I get to won. Also, when did Anthracite become a top of the line silnecer? I thought it was Iridium rarity at most lmao
It’s neither of those two!! Nah, it’s not a top one, I just couldn’t think of the one I was forgetting jn the moment lol. It’s one of the common ones
It may be cliche but my best Christmas gift has to be a real car. It was around October/November when we were looking for a potential car. So the timing was in my parents’ favor. I kind of expected it since i gave all of my money on the said car to my parents, they just didn’t tell me when i’d get to actually go pick it up. But then bam! I opened up a little box & there were the keys to my first car. I feel a bit dishonored not being able to buy it myself but i think it’s still pretty cool.
The Acceledrome track you got must’ve been a blast, i can imagine. But i feel with the bike a ton. Great video!
Dude a car is a car!!! Doesn’t matter how you get it - what was your first ride?
A Volkswagen Golf Variant 8th gen. It’s a bit recent, yeah. There were many personal reasons as of why and why not to buy the car. But it’s a solid vehicle & works perfectly. I just can’t praise it enough
@acceleracershub(teasing mode) um...in your newest video I was trying to forget what happened to Kadeem and the drawing of RD-01's drones car brought it back to my mind
Haha happens to the best of us
@@theacceleracershub2904 but I was trying think of the positive side of Acceleracers lol
