Nice! If they are from the '70's, I would say they are about $300-$500. RRRumblers are very sought after by the HW community. I've never seen this packaging before, but have seen lose versions of these for over $100 a peice. Yours are in excellent condition. Usually the handle bars or other parts get broken off with play. Rare to find all these together and in mint condition. ENJOY!!! Jim
Check box good look for code mark They started doing codes later Looks to be later maybe early 78- 80s Maybe match blue hot wheels logo with other I will see If I have more info for you.
There is a lot of info out there hot wheels Stopped doing red line on tire 1977 It does have 5 lug wheel So If you dont find a code on box I would stay with what I said .Just do as google search for Hot wheels rumblers history.There are a lot of sites to help you E bay is good too Look under compleated to see what has already sold.I hope some of this is helpful
thanks guys im getting alot of interest about these with lots of people wanting to buy,which intregues me more
Great looking item! Look on the box and find the Mattel copyright (if you haven't sold it yet...) and it should say 1976 or prior. I don't believe this set was originally made into the '80s, so it should be an early-to-mid '70s piece. If it is a reproduction (say, if Mattel re-made this RRRumblers set in the '90s), the latest Mattel copyright would indicate as such. If it is original, I would estimate the item at around $350-$400 in mint state condition (box, motorcycles, everything). If the box were still sealed as it was originally, it would easily be a $500+ item.
