There’s some childhood memories that one’ll never forget, and getting your first Hot Wheels car is certainly one of them. Over time, many knew that Hot Wheels toy cars would always be worth something more in the longer run — Bruce Pascal is a perfect example of a young boy who not only listened to those words but also had a passion for the iconic diecast car. Amassing over 3,500 pieces within his personal collection, you’ll find a ton of rare miniature four-wheeled icons such as the VW Beach Bomb Rear-Loader, which alone is worth $150,000 USD. The real estate agent’s collection thus holds a worth of over $1 million USD and he hopes to one day open up a museum in order to share his story, even if it means he has to share the space with fellow collectors.

You can check out how Pascal has made his personal home reflect his passion in the video above.
