I've started collecting the Manx buggies from Hot Wheels. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to Hot wheels. Is there someplace I can go to find a LIST of all the Manx buggies ever produced? I think it would be a fun collection...

Pretty sure there have been about a dozen variations so far...here's the ones I can remember off the top of my head, in no particular order:

*purple, yellow interior; first issue - 2003
*red, Target exclusive; in a 9 or 10 car set called 'California' something
*pink, RealRiders
*silver, Kmart exclusive; gray 5-spoke wheels
*silver, Kmart exclusive; gray 6-spoke wheels
*silver, Kmart exclusive; 'FasterThanEver' series(VHTF, the only one I don't have)
*gold, tan interior; gray 5-spoke wheels
*gold, tan interior; gray 6-spoke wheels
*blue 'Treasure Hunt'
*blue, white interior; standard wheels
*blue, white interior; white-lettered BFGoodrich tires
*blue, in a stackable case....each car was for a different state, forget the line

I'm not totally sure, but there may also have been a FTE gold one....hafta look through my boxes of HW Manxes to make sure. As an owner of a real Manx and a toy car junkie, I've tried to score one of each issue since the first one came out.

Here's one of my favorites from my stash:

Bruce signed this and a few others for me on the last night of our SoCal visit in early 2005, but not at a show or club run; he and Winnie invited us to stay in their guest room, and he signed stuff for me while telling buggy stories in their living room.

Thanks for the info. I think it will be a fun collection. I've started collecting as much Manx stuff as I can find. I always like to see the variety of things out there...

A very useful site is south Texas diecast. They have a comprehensive casting listing that's updated all the time.
