It becomes impossible to find anything that is collectible when the clerks at the stores are collectors or resellers and pull shuffled out of cases before they hit the pegs…. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has experienced this

That has been My Philosophy I am new to the Hobbies started about 2 months ago and only have about 200 Cars and it's so hard to find Super Treasure Hunts I haven't even gotten one yet but I did get two treasure hunts regular one
You helped me find my first super treasure hunt. It was the 81 camaro. Another small tip for those interested. I find that collecting hot wheels that are widely known and popular like bone shaker for example, or one of the deoras, even if only a reprint can sometimes also bring a profit. Not every reprint is a hit but some of them are worth picking up
@@acediecast8670 I didn't. My local Wal-Mart had just restocked and I wanted to see what I could find. I was looking for spares and came across it, along with a factory error batmobile(no joke it's upside down in the package).

I am very new to the hobby. Always loved buying them and cracking them open as a kid but never knew the collector side of things. Excellent explanation and well-detailed. Thank you for all the helpful info!
I am also very new to this wonderful hobby but old in age. I'm 76 and am having a blast blowing my Social Security check on toys. I'll always be young at heart no matter the ridicule of snobs.
@@levelup_charles good luck with that in Czechia... somewhere around 3.6-4.0 € in Czechia... for a base HW model... in germany is that the half of it... like 2 €.... of course not including sales or so
Me neither,it was at Kroger and I had searched for months and unexpectedly I found my 1st STH (the blue miata),i literally started shaking out of excitement of finally finding one,I was literally more hooked at that point on,i was into the hunting from there. For those that are hunting for their 1st sth an keep striking out,keep looking cos you will find one when you least expect it,good luck to all and happy collecting.
Thank you for clarifying on how to find treasure hunt. I’ve always wondered what distinguishes from regular and treasure. Now i will be on the look out for it.
Lol. I've been collecting for years, in fact I have a sth Pagani huayra roadster among other rare cars. I always find it funny when I find a fellow collector. Happy hunting!
I started collecting hot wheels in 1994 to about 2001,2002. I literally had to stop because eventually...it WILL consume your life! My oldest son was born in 93 and I thought it would be something interesting to start collecting for him. Fast forward about 8,9 years, I was completely nuts with trying to find cars I didn't have! I own about 35 cases of loose hot wheels and about 1200 unopened hot wheels including first addition treasure hunts. To all you collectors out there, know when to reel it in coz eventually it will take over your life!
Well depends how u control urself I started collecting lots of things like hot wheels,card games,balls,etc but I collect them if I ever run out of money or need it for an emergency that’ll be my backup to resell
Lol! Sounds like me! I used to buy ANYTHING that came out, then only Hot Wheels that were actual cars. There must be a lot of us in the same boat. I had a lot of cars from when I was a kid from the 70's. I would think that the cars I bought in the 90's that are 30 years old would be worth a lot, but nope! Just signed up for the RLC and only buy the members only cars and any Super THs I can find a deal on.
Good luck I've been looking for years and finally found a treasure hunt, I don't waste my time anymore unless you have it in with the stores or the stockers you'll be lucky to find anymore, the gas and time I waste looking for these cars doesn't make sense I buy mine on eBay, I'm coming out ahead in the long run
@@misterbuddyboy I found my first STH like a week after this comment lol found chases & an abundance of THs. I just learned the schedules of the two stores I primarily check out
Thanks for the advice, it will be very useful to me in the future to understand which ones to take and which ones to avoid from opening the box, thank you very much.
So my dad was in Queensland and he stumbled upon 4 treasure hunts and to this day he regrets only getting one but the one he got was an error car the error being it was not bolted together at the factory lol still one of our best finds to this day
We normal collectors can’t hunt for STH or TH or cool cars because every new packages arrived, the store owner opened and took all of them and resell with a high price :(( , and yes, every single store in our area
I have just started collecting. I already found some error cars... one Batmobile without paint and one where the card is a Koneigsegg and the car inside is a Ford Focus. Also found my first three Treasure hunt cars. This is fun!
Good job! The Koneigsegg Ford Focus error will be worth a lot if its not fake. Some people buy cars and open them just to swap it and return it. I don't think any employee would be dumb enough to take it though.. its kinda obvious.
@@acediecast8670 YEah I looked carefully. Still sealed all around and no sign of tampering. It was lying in a bin way down in the stack. Wondering about the Batmobile too. Complete car but bare metal.
Thanks for all the info, just started, and you gave me a lotta info that's valuable, I'll keep trying, haven't got anything crazy yet just regular ole hot wheels lol
The set's are nice, and I can display with my large collection of NASCAR 1:64, 1:32, 1:24 & 1:18 scale cars. I have quite a few Hot Wheels 1:64 NASCAR cars...and 1 or 2 Hot Wheels 1:24 scale. I have a few this from pre-pandemic, but in my local Wal-Mart and Target, the stores have next to nothing on their pegs.
Dont even have to pay that much attention just go to halls guide the the #out of 250 for the th and just scan the numbers on the side it takes me like 5 min to go through an entire shelf
Hey man thank you very much!! Awesome information. Question thought would the big sets like the you showed with the Premium car have that small logo too?
No. The big sets don’t come in treasure hunt or super treasure hunt form. But single pack premium cars come in waves of 5 and if you find one that says 0-5 on it then it’s a chase!
I have the duck n roll trasure hunt:) im happy and my country doesnt have hotwheels but i found a shop with it i got 2 treasure hunts but i can only get one

You have to pick the store where nobody who works there cares about hot wheels. Few and far between but they exist.
For months I was so confused by a new box being out and not finding anything good to only find out that someone in the store collected them
I say, buy what you like and forget about the return. Enjoy the hobby
