1987 would mark the elimination of Hot Wheels production in Hong Kong and Mexico, late in the year. Gold and Chrome Hot Ones wheels, Real Riders, Construction Tires and Blackwalls were the prevalent tires during the 1987 production run. For the first time, cars with glow-in-the-dark tampos were issued for the TurboTrax TurboGlow set. Quoted values are for LOOSE, NM examples. Cars less than NM will obviously command a lesser value than listed, depending on overall condition. Unless otherwise stated, the country of origin for all listed models is Hong Kong. Different countries will be listed second, and bolded. Note that the NCHWA utilizes a pricing method called "Star Value©." Instead of specific dollar values, each car will be assigned a Star Value© to indicate rarity and potential price range. There are simply too many variables to place a "set" value on any model, so a range will be used instead to indicate where that particular model may fall on the secondary price scale. A +/- indicates where on that scale the value is approximated, while a number by itself would indicate the value falls in the middle of the Star Value. This is also an easy quick-glance method to determine rarity; the higher the number, the rarer the car. The value chart will be placed at the bottom of each page. |
