I remember my dad surprising me with this set! I would open them and hide the trash but he knew but he loved how happy I was:) I wish I could go back and relive that moment:D
Wow! I remember trying to hunt these down anytime I had a chance. I pledged to buy a set once I got older but they’re so hard to find now!! Thanks for the memories!
EXTREMELY happy I won this set on a bid on ebay earlier today!!! I was too young to actually search out all 35 cars and could never finish the set. I got the huge HW35 track set 2 months ago and now this should be arriving shortly in about a week or so. It's #164 and my mission to find my last piece of child hood has finally been found!!! Though mine looks like it has a crash in the package too, as the Krazy 8s is flipped on its side on mine. No biggie though, glad to FINALLY get Zed too!!!
Back in 2003, I got this set as a Christmas present. I was only a kid. I opened them all because I wanted to play with them, including ZED 36. I remember being disappointed that in the movie, ZED's windshield and windows were red, but they went with green for the actual diecast car. About a year later my mom sold the set on ebay for only $200. I can't even imagine the price this set would fetch now, even with the cars opened.
@@EnPeeSee I paid $1,023.50 for mine. #772. Attempting to get #509 complete set at the moment, but don't really like the app the guy is selling the set off of.
That's a pretty nice set! I have 9 of those cars I bought as singles in 03' also here's a collectors tip-the red aeroflash scorchers, the wave rippers corvette and Chrysler thunderbolt and the dune rats wild thing are very desirable! as well as the exclusive sling shot ofcourse. :)
Hi Mark, Love your vids and this set is just as you said one of the most sought after collectors items (I love the world race serie but sadly I miss 14 of them incluiding ZED ironicly) see you around, keep showing your good stuff
No way! I would not open up this set just to open up the cars. I got all of the cars separately. Of course, the Zed in this set is exclusive to this set. I do not own a loose Zed. Thanks for watching!
These cars were like $3.99 a pack. For an adult, they may not see the value. These cars had water-slide decals, what Mattel calls Fusion Graphics, and the detail is fantastic! They also had co-mold wheels, there was a little comic book inside, and a pog. A pog is a circular piece of cardboard with information on each side.
Just remembered that I was gifted this 10~ years ago, and went scurrying around my house and found all the cars that I had opened. Looking back on my younger self, I do wish I hadn't opened some of these cars, but as they say "Hindsight is 20-20". I managed to find my Zed car, but other than maybe 10 cars, all the others are still sealed and in mint condition.
If I had kept my cars in the package from the late 60's, they'd be worth a lot of money too! I had lots of fun with them though and that's something that has a lot of value as well.
I don't know how much it's worth financially, but it sure is worth keeping! I especially love the Red Baron, Twin Mill, and Deora. Great review,....Again!
Ohhhh snaps that Nomad and vette are wicked!! When this series released I only bought 1 back then or my parents only bought one and it was the wave rippers pick up that i have loose now. Very very cool Set. Good to see ya blow off some dust, alot of us need to do that I'm sure!
I love that road runner as a heavy metal fan I love the scorchers back when I was about 4 the wave rippers were my favorite because I always imagine vert as my big bro and since I have need for speed undercover. I made my '70 dodge charger look like the road runner :)
That is nice of your brother to give you his old cars! As for the World Race cars, Even if you can't get the original Team Leaders, you can imagine with the recolors =)
The track set takes a large amount of space. It is larger than my filming table. When I make a larger space, I will make a video. I won't be able to do this anytime soon.
Gibran Medrano You can...probably find one of these on ebay for a grand. There was one the other day that was an UNOPENED box and sold for a grand...but then I found another box set that immediately got sold for $1,023.50....😂😂😂😂😂 😎🤘
@Lionferrari777 The track on the back of Zed was called "Ultimate Track" or something like that. I won't be opening the box anytime soon but I will eventually. There were three or four smaller track sets too. I don't have those.
@megacomicbooknerd I have all of the little comic books too because I have opened up the 35 singles. I will video tape the comic books later as well as make videos for each team.
I just found my Highway 35 set in my basement under a ton of dust. Younger me took most cars out of the box but left the limited edition Zed and two of the Dune Ratz trucks.
@CorvairGuy69 I will find out how much it is worth because I am making space and selling some of the bigger stuff that takes up room and that I don't need anymore. Thanks for the extra information about the players!
While the intention was to have people mail in UPC's for the Ultimate Track Set, there was some of the remaining inventory offered on HWC for $99. That's how I got one for my son. There was also inventory sold at Mattel's Toy Stores.
It is unlikely that these cars would be released in these colors anytime soon. The cars are still being used but decorated in new colors without the Highway 35 theme.
@marshbjuneb22 It is about supply and demand. I think that there is 10,000 or less of the 1995 Treasure Hunt Camaro and a whole lot of collectors who would like on for their collection. Since there are more people who want it, the price goes up.
It seems to me that I bought the World Race videogame for the Play Station but I didn't play it much. do you still play it? Were you saying that you had the original World Race leaders or you have recolors of all of them? As for Krazy 8, you know what, it has been awhile since I seen it released.
FANTASTIC!!!!!!!! where did you get this? not trying to buy them off you lol. im trying to get all 35 and then maybe all the acceleracers and maybe bf5 i dont have any bf5s yet though and i have most ofWR and Acceleracers
You may be looking at the Zamac Team Leaders set. If somebody had the complete box set for $100, I would buy that in a split second. The Zed car sells for $200 and up just by itself.
@formulaonehotwheel Thanks my friend! I'd rather put the money to use somewhere else and make use of the space that it is occupying. Besides, I already have all of these HWY35 cars loose except for ZED.
Hey RaceGrooves if I bought black testrol paint to make a zed 36 replica, would it require me to take the car apart via the rivets or just tape cover and brush?
@pokemon0419 Well, here's some advanced notice. I have filmed and edited each of the Highway 35 Teams and racers and you will see one video for each team, hopefully each day, for the next five days. I just finished filming all of the Acceleracers Teams. Teku, Metal Maniacs, Racing Drones, and Silencers. I need to edit the video and I hope to have it ready for you next week, for a Monday through Friday showing =)
"I'm a good driver. The best. And I don't have to cheat to win this race."

Selling it? I could use another. I have #772. #509 is for sale. Already made the offer, but don't trust the app it's selling from

AP A sealed set can sell for over $450. Even Zed by himself can sell for $200.
RaceGrooves Only $450?
Oh glorious day, my nostalgia is within my financial means. I was thinking it would be something outrageous like $700+

Ive only seen this thing of beautiful in photos,Great to see it up close 😊
Thank you very much. I enjoy this community and all your videos. Glad to have come by them. Keep up the great work
I don't know how much it's worth financially, but it sure is worth keeping! I especially love the Red Baron, Twin Mill, and Deora. Great review,....Again!
The Ultimate Track will be done eventually but I don't know when. However, Power Tower will be uploaded in a few hours. =)
Thanks! I have been collecting since 1998 so that's why I have a lot of cars =)
@countryboy1432 Yes, the #6 Chrysler Thunderbolt was a harder to find model in the World Race series.
Yes, the track sets are on my to-do list.
I've been after one of these sets for years now and just pulled the trigger on a set with the ultimate track set. #26/1000
Now THIS set is one of the best ever!
It's fun to go through the old toys =)
thanks for doing this video this is a vet vet cool set!!! its nice to see these rare items
Ohhhh snaps that Nomad and vette are wicked!! When this series released I only bought 1 back then or my parents only bought one and it was the wave rippers pick up that i have loose now. Very very cool

Dude I LOVED highway 35 back in the day!!

You're welcome, thanks for watching =)
Incredible set
That is nice of your brother to give you his old cars! As for the World Race cars, Even if you can't get the original Team Leaders, you can imagine with the recolors =)
Yes, I still have this set. It was $200 plus shipping shipping when it was offered.
My son has this set too. I guess we should have bought 2. I had no idea it would be so valuable.
Wow! Very very cool!
Thanks, happy collecting =)
Racegrooves, will you ever show off all the comics? I love them a lot, but do not want to pay hundreds to get a full set..
very awesome set
Thanks and thanks for watching =)
Yeah, this set is going to be expensive to acquire now. It is pretty cool to have the cars that were in the movie!
@TechnoMouse109
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!

cool cars man very nice set
Wow!!! I love it
Vert Wheeler not Kurt Wheeler. Kurt has the slingshot, and is also ZED
Destiny yes
Now that you mention it, quite a few of those haven't been seen in a long time! Vulture, Power Pistons, Krazy 8s...
I have the Zed 36, it's in mint condition, although it has been unboxed. :(
Does anyone know who might be selling this Hot Wheels Highway 35 World Race Box set?
Gibran Medrano I want to know this aswell.

@@alexiscrane4645 how much for this set?
@@alexiscrane4645 Yo i'd trade you my car for that haha
@jolter648X This was sold online for $200 plus shipping. Best wishes on completing your collection!
@gudtarplaya2 Yes, they were higher priced and that's why they didn't sell so well.
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww this set is amazing.....nice set there mark....
@OSKARIUKS Yes, I bought extra of the Scorchers Road Runner.
Cool!
I already have all of them loose. I wouldn't break up this set because I don't have to.
I loved the movie and I am getting the for Christmas yayyy :)

Exactly. Zed is Slingshot and you could make your own custom version.
@KamenRiderJosh Hot Wheels are for ages 3 and up and so is my Channel. Please refrain from using inappropriate language.
Nice man
@JVARGAS513 It is an awesome display box! The huge Highway 35 logo is awesome!
@blackghostcat LOL! Thanks for watching =)
@PS3GemnEye70 Yes, I have all of the cars loose from HWY35 and the Acceleracers.
I remember world race. I had the exclusive 2 pack with the VHS tape of episode 1
@ThePepper3344 Thanks for letting me know about ZED!
AHHHHHH THE FIRST FINGER PRINT FOR ZED LOL NICE BOX SET
Congrats! How much did it cost you?
I just found my Highway 35 set in my basement under a ton of dust. Younger me took most cars out of the box but left the limited edition Zed and two of the Dune Ratz trucks.
F-150 and Megaduty
Ay, post a video buddy. You can be video #4 ever on youtube with this set
@memorexz88 Thanks for your kind words!
There is something more rare than the limited Sling-shot, a Convention Purple Passion was made in a quantity of 25.
@CorvairGuy69 I will find out how much it is worth because I am making space and selling some of the bigger stuff that takes up room and that I don't need anymore. Thanks for the extra information about the players!
@ExcaliberpegasiS I enjoy showing my collection. This is one prized set!
I had these as a kid... Every single one. Now they're out of their boxes and scuffed. If only I had taken good care of them. One in one thousand...
@Thamilrealtor I will work on doing the Ultimate Track Set next year. I'm busy for the rest of the year.
The race set was only available as a mail in if you bought all the cars in the stores. The full car set with ZED was a HWC exclusive.
While the intention was to have people mail in UPC's for the Ultimate Track Set, there was some of the remaining inventory offered on HWC for $99. That's how I got one for my son. There was also inventory sold at Mattel's Toy Stores.
It is unlikely that these cars would be released in these colors anytime soon. The cars are still being used but decorated in new colors without the Highway 35 theme.
For me, the Deora II on the Wave Rippers!
And to ME the cars (que no tengo y nesecito tener bajo mi poder)
@10h41 Thanks! Slowly but surely, the video views are increasing. I think that the kids are more interested in the AcceleRacers though.
@potatofro3 Yes, that is one possibility but I need better lighting.
@marshbjuneb22 It is about supply and demand. I think that there is 10,000 or less of the 1995 Treasure Hunt Camaro and a whole lot of collectors who would like on for their collection. Since there are more people who want it, the price goes up.
@jmstanza Not this time. Zed alone will sell for at least $100.
I have 134 out of 1000 sitting in the other room unopened rn I’ve kept it perfect all these years but I wanna open the box after seeing this
@Shoke113Glaytor Thanks for posting this list =)

@10h41 $200 plus $12 shipping. At one time, it was selling for $550 but I think it will sell for $300 or so.
@MegaAwsomeStudios It is probably worth $300 now. I will find out soon because I will be listing it on eBay.

@RaceGrooves Thanks for the reply, I've been tempted to try it since I have a spare slingshot.
@MongooseBikeRacer The Deora is one of my favorites from the HWY35 series!
Hey RaceGrooves if I bought black testrol paint to make a zed 36 replica, would it require me to take the car apart via the rivets or just tape cover and brush?
With Testors paint (I don't know anything about testrol), you could just use painters tape to cover parts and then gently use a small paintbrush.
That is correct!
@pokemon0419 Well, here's some advanced notice. I have filmed and edited each of the Highway 35 Teams and racers and you will see one video for each team, hopefully each day, for the next five days.
