Mine had a talking cash register attached to it.

You can still buy this. They changed the plastic color, but it's the same design

I had this. The ramps detatched, and it folded up into a case of some sort.

I had a supercharger. It was a thing that went on the track and two spinning cylinders in it would launch the cars forward pretty fast

2 years ago | Likes 125 Dislikes 0

My parents wouldn't buy me one of those. They were afraid I'd use it to launch cars at my older brothers... Rightly so, but still...

"Don't use it to launch cars at your siblings."

To be fair, my parents probably realized that me chucking cars at my older brothers heads at high speed would probably have created more problems than it solved.

There's a 1:64-scale-Camaro-sized hole in the drywall of my parents' basement from when I strung three of those together and put a jump at the end.

I had the parking garage one, I don't think it was Hot Wheels though.

Memories! I don't remember if I *had* this, but I definitely remember playing with it.

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I had them both and a backpack full of cars.

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

My younger brother had this, I had the hotwheels service town. This was scaled for something for fisher price so it was a lot bigger. But we used hotwheels and matchbox cars on it.

The bell that would ring when the elevator hit the top level 🤌🤌🤌

2 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Oh shit I forgot about the bell. Thanks for that memory!

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I have the exact same one. My neighbour had one that connects to it. I still have two of the original cars that came with it

My mom got lucky. My first toys were hot wheels. She could literally take me anywhere as a toddler, and if I had my hot wheels I would be focused on those the entire time. Cross country on a bus... No problem! And I had that service center. It might still be at my grandma's house in the old playroom.

Still have two different ones in storage, still in decent shape.

Had to memorize how to put all the individual building back into the foundation tile or else they would never be portable again.

I had this one as a kid. You could fill the set's reservoir with water and "clean" (read: dampen) the cars. Also had one that had a little flint wheel and a spinner in a plastic housing that would spark and make it look like someone was welding underneath the car.

2 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

OP reminded me of this. Then I saw your picture and was motivated to post my pic. I'm almost sad I left if behind at a previous residence cause I gave my all my Hot Wheels stuff to a youngster I knew would had a good childhood with them but this would have been a good addition if I still had it

And the car wash there on the left worked about as good as a real one today.

Got the same for micro machines. Those were so great

This?

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yup, though I remember it as "super van city" The one pictured is different from the one I had, only in small details, but largely the same. I also had the military one too.

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Not that one, but it was more a pocket game like this one https://images.app.goo.gl/B4k2R222mtEe3K9t9

Lucky. 👉👈 Can ... Can I swap my wife with your husband? I have the car mat, and some cool colour changing hot wheels that go from navy blue to light blue, and from dark purple to hot pink, and a creepy crawlers oven, and an original gameboy, some power rangers stuff, and a lite brite with extra black construction paper! 🥹

A couple of the neighbors had this. Another had the huge Micro Machines RV city playset that packed up like a suitcase.

Same here, and you know what, I friggin loved it!

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Same. Well, I kinda inherited it from my big brother, and it was missing a couple of items, and I remember being sad that I didn't get to play with it in its full glory. Still a great toy that I spent hours on.

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Ah, I got that for Christmas when I was like 5! Wish I had it now.

I had the construction site. Had little orange I-beams that fit together. Loved it.

THATS WHERE THOSE ORANGE I BEAMS WERE FROM?!?! Hoooly fuuuck.... I remember playing with those when I was probably 3 or 4 then. Omg.... I had an older brother who would get all the cool shit, and he is 7 years older than me. I remember the service centre more because that came later. Omg. I'm sending this to my brother.

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Awesome! When I was looking for a photo of this thing, all the pics were from ebay, and all the sets were missing those I-beams. That's why I showed the photo of the box, because it was the only picture that had the I-beams.
