I hit up Random places, so many places sell hot wheels. I’ve scored super treasure hunts at Kroger’s and dollar general. Here is my pro tip when you see a hot wheels display fin looks rifled threw, a hot wheel guy or gal has been threw it already. Find out when stores restock or get in a new truck. Build a relationship with store employees
I'm in phoenix and i've been hunting for 2 years and STILL have not found a single Super. My son and I go looking all the time but we have other castings we love to look for. Thanks for the comprehensive look at Supers man!
You're very welcome, InFocus! My pleasure to add my take on the identification of them. They are definitely not easy, and it takes A LOT of time, gas, and dedication for sure! Where abouts in Phx are you?
Found 3 STH Skylines in the same day!! Like most new collectors, I was obsessed. It only took 8 months to find my very first STH!! I watched videos like these to educate myself then I was able to identify them just by scanning the pegs. The obsession for STH's has worn off but now I am more focused on castings. Good luck to all collectors!!
Just watched this video. Thank you for this. Lots of good info for a beginner like me. I got lucky this past wknd and found my 1st STH Nissan 300zx!!! and Th Bone shaker!!! At dollar general. What are some of the main lines should I be looking for???
Finding super is awesome but finding a jackpot case with a IDC, TH, and STH is such a great feeling I lucked out on a E 2020 case. My tip to find super is study the looks of the real riders wheels from premium car culture cars, that way you'll spot then faster instead of pulling out a phone and try check if you found one especially if there's a collector near you searching aswell.
Ziggy, I collect what I like. I like Porsche, Exotics, JDM, a lil' bit of everything. I collect most full real rider sets and collect box sets as well. I am trying to find every super this year so it is a big deal but not all I hunt. 😁👍
Happy you found it helpful Jose! I remember the days when I was flipping every card to see if it had the symbol. Takes hours when you don't know what to look for! I was hoping this would save some hassle for folks like I had when I first started collecting. Thanks for watching bud! 😁👊❤
Hello, tx for the great detailed video. So i went to look at some big grocery shops, and found there to be only HotWheels in 5-10-20 car packs only. It was rather hard to find individually sold HotWheels. So I wonder, do the Treasure or Super TH series only come into the individual packed ones? I went through many that came per 5 cars sets or higher and coudnt fint anything special in between. So therefore the question, is TH or STH cars reserved for individual packaged HotWheels? Thank You.
Gr8 vid the only thing I don't like is it gotten so many folks into the hunt making it harder to find but i do appreciate the vid it is a super cool feeling finding sth, th, zamac, or id I found my first ID plenty of reg th, but still no sth I could kill for tht audi or this year's iam prob gonna just custom my own but yea thing have been so slow here in Canada stores around are so dried up and if a box comes it's gone literally in a day I have gotten 2 matchbox supers but i am Euro 1st then say Asian American muscle always last so redwhiteblue corvette not my cup of tea but still cool I guess anyways just keep hunting oh also I just cut open a p case and it had a couple cars from like 2018 what's up with tht and what are ur thought on factory defects I always find them lol
Thanks Sean, I really appreciate the feedback my friend! As far as factory defects, not a big fan. Id rather leave them for others that do enjoy collecting errors. Thanks you for tuning and joining the ride, my friend! 😁👊
This was very helpful! I buy Hot Wheels to race with my students so I have unknowingly passed up on on a few STH over the years because of the rubber tires, now I realize they were probably STH🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ But hopefully they were picked up by someone who was on the hunt.!
Hi, I just found a green lincoln continental convertible in my room, it also has this flame in the circle on the side. Is it rare or is it worth some money?
Definitely sounds like an older TH to me, one Im unfamiliar with though. If it has spectraflame/shiney paint and rubber tired it is a super treasure hunt. Plastic wheels then regular treasure hunt. Supers are more rare than regular TH's. Wish I could help more but Im unfamiliar with that TH. 😁👍
hi, i've started collecting recently and i usually just go for the cars i like, but still i'd love to find one or two STH. the catch, though, is that i live in spain and i don't know the way these boxes work so it's difficult. do you reccomend shopping malls, regular chain stores or particular stores? thanks!
Hi Bernat, thanks for tuning in! So Im not sure of the store chains in Spain but if I was visiting (or if I moved to Spain), I would be checking everywhere that carries HotWheels and diecast cars and begin learning their stocking days and times. Also to gain knowledge of how frequent the stores stock, ones that dont stock but once a month or so I would probably weed out and save as back ups. I would be focusing on the frequent stockers there, and I'm talking retail stores and chains. Grocery stores as well, there are many here that stock HotWheels and Matchbox so im sure there should be some in your area. Hope that helps! 👊😁👍
Its totally possible InJ Airgun! Ive gotten to a few Unicorn cases since uploading (check my G Case Super/GT500 find video). We call it a "unicorn case" when you find the super th, reg th, ID Chase, and mainline (of the super) all in the same case. Of course ID Chases only come every other case code, so technically it can be considered a unicorn case if its a non-ID case (see second datsun 510 super found video). 😁👊👍
You need to go to the HotWheels Collectors website and purchase an RLC account, its $10 for a year. After that you can stay tuned for the RLC releases which happen on Tuesdays (not every Tuesday but that is the release day). You gotta be quick, they sell out in minutes in most cases. Hope that helps Pegasus! 👊😁👍
Hello, I’m 12 and have been collecting Hot wheel cars my whole life and never knew what super treasure hunt was but a few days ago I was going through my cars and I realized I had one that had rubber tires and I don’t know if it is a super treasure hunt because it is not in his case because the case was thrown away and you said that the rubber tires might be a sign and it has rubber tires so I don’t know if it’s one. The car is a McLaren P1 upside down on the back it says made in Thailand 1188MJ.1.NL 2016 MATTEL CFH20.Thank you!
Thank you Taylor! So there has never been a P1 Super unfortunately. I myself am really looking forward to the day they decide to make one! If it has rubber tires, metal base, and is orange...then that will be from the Cars & Donuts set! To my knowledge, that is the only premium McLaren P1 produced. 😁👊
Could you possibly make a video about Hotwheels Mail Ins? I'm pretty sure you have to mail in 20 cards to Mattel or something along those lines, but I can't find a single thing on the internet to tell me more than that.
Sure thing Bonnalish! Its pretty simple though, yes you will need 20 mainline cards but you need a few more things. For instance, here are the rules on the currently running GameStop Exclusive Camaro: Buy 20 selected 1:64 scale Hot Wheels Mainline (basic) cars at GameStop.com or participating GameStop or Family Dollar locations from 1/1/22 to 3/25/22. Cars must be from the assortment numbers listed on the OFFICIAL RULES. Mail the original cash register receipt(s), 20 blister cards (the entire cardboard piece, but not the car or plastic window) for each vehicle you order (limit of ten vehicles per household), and the completed order form* (fill out the form and print it), along with $7.00 US shipping and processing for each vehicle you order - check or money order only (unless you pay online via credit card) - made payable to MATTEL to: '67 Off Road Camaro® P.O. Box 1229 East Aurora, NY 14052 Hope this helps! 😁👍
Heres the official site and page Bonnalish: community.creations.mattel.com/news/hot-wheels/public-news-stories/collector-edition-67-off-road-camaro%C2%AE-at-gamestop-and-family-dollar-r1895/?ct=1646870400&ct=1646935770
@@HonestDiecast Awesome, thanks so much. That was really helpful. I also had a very hard time looking for that page on the internet, so glad I could finally look into it. Thanks, man! 👍
Thanks for the info. Now I know what to look for. I found a treasure hunt yesterday, a green Silverado. 8 thought it was a super treasure hunt but maybe it's not a super.
My pleasure Richard, and congrats on your find! That is the 2020 P Case Regular TH and an awesome one at that. There is a dark green variation of it that is VERY difficult to find! 😁👊
I hope I can get a super some day, or an id chase, would love to find them, I'm sadly never lucky, I always use your tips lol, how reare are I'd chases where yous are? I haven't see a single one, wood love to get my hands on one but yeah hopefully one day!, thanks for everything!!!!
The ID Chases are MUCH more common than that od Supers but lately hard to find. J Case BoneShaker and up have been tough because theyre good. I have yet to find the Aston ID. 😑
@@HonestDiecast I have yet to find any treasure other than the normals, I'd love to have an id as I think they're interesting but I don't think ill be lucky, 🤔🤔🤔
Its really tough, between case distribution , other collectors, case crackers, inside jobs, and folks who have much more free time than you, its just really hard to find em.
@@HonestDiecast it's really sad, as when I go out hunting, I go hunting, I go litterally everywhere opening at least 5 cases and nothing, it's quite downing but I get the enjoyment out of it by buying mainlines that I love, thank you for all of the advice buddy
@@HonestDiecast I just think it's really sad, and people shoud be thinking about others, you sent a collector is you go out of your way to get every single value and see a castings as 🤑, that is wrong, collecting is about helping out others, you have taught me that, greed is never needed, we should think for your fellow collectors, it's just alittle messy
I been hunting supers on and off since 2009. It's pretty easy to spot the Supers from the regular casting. Nothing like finding a $uper in the wild. It doesn't happen everyday unless you're a scalper with friends hooking you up at Walmart, Dollarama etc. Hunt but keep it fun!
Are you saying there's a Treasure Hunt in every single case? And that case will have either a Regular Treasure Hunt or a Super Treasure Hunt? Do regular Treasure Hunts have TH on the car too?
They do infact have the TH insignia somewhere on the car, as well as a silver TH stamp on the card behind the actual car in the package. So nearly every US case will have a regular TH in it with the exception of the exclusive cases (Target Reds, Zamacs, Kroger, Dollar General, etc...). In those cases you will probably see them but you may not. Then you have the oddball US case that does not have one, but most will have a regular TH. Most international cases will as well, though finding no regular TH in those cases is not exactly suprising. In all US case examples, you can mostly expect to find a regular TH as well as the case specific mainline OR Super TH car. In some cases, you will find a regular TH, a super TH, AND the mainline of the Super TH and we call those "unicorn cases". In 2020 and 2021, a unicorn case was the super TH, the mainline of the Super TH, a regular TH, and the ID Chase. ID chases however are not available or offered anymore by Mattel. Hope that helps CAHM! 👊😁👍
@@HonestDiecast Perfect. Thank you. For the most part, I just collect Batman cars but I didn't realize that the Case A blue Batmobile was a TH car. I've actually held several TH cars not knowing they were and passed them up. I basically just buy what I think looks cool even though some of the color choices for these Batman cars aren't exactly what you think of when you think of Batman. (Especially the current 2/5 Hunter Green & Brown versions) lol
@@HonestDiecast I was thinking of hunting at Target this weekend. I remember in the old days having Hot Wheels at each register too. Probably 12 years ago. What percentage of your Targets still stock cars at the registers?
That'll be an international card, Patrik! International is a bit tough to decipher because of the serial number they use. Unfortunately, you'll have to become familiar with US cases to get an idea of what case you're looking at for international card. However I can tell you now that if you have the light blue Sesto Elemento, it is from 2020 J Case/K Case carry-over. 👊😁👍
Thanks M! Supers this year that have been released so far are: A Case - Nissan 300ZX B Case - Corvette Grand Sport Roadster C Case - Rodger Dodger D Case - Mazda RX7 E Case - Corvette Z06 F Case - Mazda RX3 G Case - Ford Shelby GT500 H Case - Datsun 510 J Case - Porsche 356 Outlaw K Case - Civic Type-R
Not that I know of CRYPTO, Ill usually just pay attention to leaks and unboxings for upcoming cases. I always recommend Ministry Of Diecast on TH-cam for those! 😁👍
Mattel has not released an official number since 1997, but the guesstimation with growth the first 3 years is anywhere between 150,000 - 200,000 per super. Sounds like a lot, but consider that each mainline is produced in the millions and that roughly 1000 of those are reserved for the RLC Super THunt Sets at the end of year. Also factor in sharp rise in factory theft. Theres a reason you see supers on the market that wont be out for another month or two and thats the reason. 😉👊
I once Hit up a dollar Store and When I mean the Hot wheels looked like heaven it was it was Probably Over 10 Cases on the racks and we left that store with so many Supers and Now that I think back about that long I bet I left so many I walked away with a Bunch or TH!
4 years and haven't found any here in Poland (where I live), however I've heard rumours that the are many Audi RS2 sth finds here so it raised up my hopes
@@HonestDiecast I saw a video that said large letters on the right side of the box was something to look for. Also the number is not on the top right corner. I'm new to this and in the process of learning. Your video was very cool. Thanks.
Thanks J Yack! Yes, you can identify the case before you even crack it open by the stamping on the side of the case as well as the top rear of each card. Happy it helped my friend! 😁👊
Nope, Super Treasure Hunts come in mainline cases so you pay what the respective store is charging for mainlines! Typically anywhere from $.94 - $1.69! 👊😁👍
I understand they are really cool to alot of people and fun to hunt for supers etc and HW been around a for a long time....The only thing that I like about hot wheels or matchboxes is their CHEAP PRICES... Nothing else. They are roughly detailed(even the premiums), weirdly scaled cartoon looking cars(fantasy designs and ones that are supposed to be actual existing cars)...Also the fact that you can find HWs in dollar stores tells you something... However, I'll give it to them, they are sturdy products that you could throw around.... I GENUINELY WANT TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE LOVE ABOUT HWs THAT KEEPS PEOPLE LOVING THESE AND COLLECTING THEM? -Cheers
I hear ya Timur! They aren't for everyone but they are for many of us! I think half of it is just the thrill of the hunt, being able to walk into a store and find what you want and maybe even find a chase! The great thing about imperfections on HW's and cheaper castings, is that if you're a customizer it gives you work to improve on and stuff to fix. If you're just a collector I can see why it may not be pleasing and one may opt to collect another scale or a better quality 1:64. To give credit though, HW castings have come a LONG way in the past 10 years quality and scale wise and the trajectory is pointing towards better to come. 😁👍
@@HonestDiecast Hey! Thank you for your reply! I just ask HW collectors/enthusiasts their reasons/opinions why they prefer to collect them. Yes, as you may already know/understand, I am one of those Greenlight, M2, Johnny Lightning, Auto World type of collectors haha Love the detail and realisticness of the castings! But yeah love cars and fellow car people and diecast collectors!
They are very wanted by many people especially children and also the fact that they are small and portable and the fact that some are very cool and others can be used for unique things (I'm looking at you, Experimotors)
They indeed do, QAYBEE! They seem to be harder to find in International Cases vs US cases though. Possibly due to the factory theft and early scalping sales on them, which is my guess. I have probably found 45-50 supers in my 3 year hunting career. Out of all of those, I have only found 5 international card supers. Then again, not many stores stock international cards besides various grocery stores. 🤔
@@HonestDiecast is there any rhyme to reason to what is put in shippers are they coated to let you know what will be in there like the regular cases or they just a jumbled mess of leftovers
Usually its a "wave" but even then there's variables. Especially this year wirh Covid. Like Kroger for instance right now in Arizona, J Case shippers and Kroger exclusives hitting the Marketplaces but not the smaller Frys. Walmarts Ive found G Bins, H Bins, and J Bins all in the past two weeks. Target had the L and M case bins with Reds but now I just found J Case at Target recently. Distribution is just a bit all over the place now. When these shipper displays start dropping at stores, people will post what they're finding and that'll give an idea. But as of recent its just been super inconsistent.
I was vaguely collecting here in the UK for a couple of years,, but only by visiting 2 or 3 local shops plus supermarkets. Only once did I find TH cars, and actually two on one shop. But after checking online and seeing the huge numbers that were actually produced, I decided not to get involved and took them back to the shop. The manager was happy to let me chose two others in exchange after I explained what they were. Heh, he prolly kept the TH cars. HW is reltavely expensive in the UK, about 2.7 times the price at £1.99.
This video just popped up in my "recommended videos" feed. 🤣 So, I thought it could use an updated comment. Ah...the video that sent me down the rabbit hole. It's nice down here. 😁🐇🕳
Hey Bruce, there are 15 cases per year (A-Q, no I and no O). Thats how the yearly releases are broken up. So by knowing which case you're looking at, you know which cars to look for. I did make a Super Treasure Hunt Guide that goes over case identification a bit. Maybe check that out when you get a chance? Hope this helps! 😁👊
You cannot purchase full sealed cases from retail stores, but the only place I would recommend buying sealed cases from that is trust worthy is A&J Toys! You can buy them individually in US Card, International Card, or International Short Cards. You can also pay a $1 subscription which A&J will run your card automatically when new cases come in and they will be automatically sent out. A lot of channels that feature unboxings do this and honestly, its the way to go if you dont mind a full case! 😉😁👊
Puello, its not based on month. The letter will tell you what cars to expect in the case, thats about it. Some years the cases come earlier and some they come later. Sometimes we see A Case in November and sometimes we see it in late December/Early January. 😉👊
I just got into collecting them and 3 super treasure hunts I found at vons I didn’t know if it was worth something so I put it back now I’m gonna go back tm
For each case how many cars? Just one specific car is designated the super and one specific car is designated the Reg TH. As far as total production numbers for each, there is no official number released by Mattel but the guesstimate is well north of 100,000.
Super Treasure Hunts will usually almost always increase in value over time. How much is determined by the demand and the availability of them. I always encourage folks to hunt and collect super treasure hunts for the fun and passion of it. The value will come naturally, just enjoy collecting and hunting them! 👊😁👍
I just memorize what I have to the best of my ability. When new mains drop, I catch up on those as quick as I can so I can focus on the next cases being dropped when they hit. As far as real riders, I try to grab the new sets as soon as they drop so again, I can focus on the new sets on the way. Just makes it a lot easier to grab em and get em done ya know? Thats the reason I hunt for Supers A LOT is because Ive already caught up on everything dropped already. 😁👊
In England it’s much rarer to encounter anything which is not a mainline I found a TH Pacifica a month ago was very happy finding it In England it’s near impossible to get any Premium or ID cars in stores it’s so anoying
Gecko, many factors. Dud cases, missed drops, inside jobs, inside collectors, so many things add up that works against us. We just gotta keep going and keep trying. 👊😖🤞
@@A4ANT people looting stocks, the luck that Europe gets. But finally found two other normal TH including a Premium (f*ing finally) TH Ford galaxie TH Quick Bite Premium Honda Prelude
Anyone from outside the US? Apparently it's impossible to find them... word is that they are already taken before hitting the pegs. Still I wonder how popular is this in south america and if it's really the case
One of the good things about US cases is you can identify what case it is by looking at the back. For international cases I have to guess by looking what’s left on the peg, and a bit of googling during the peg hunting. It would be so much more convenient if the international cases can have that little letter follow up at the back of the card🤣
Yes it would, I don't know why Mattel doesn't carry over the case identification to all international cases. Certainly would make things a lot easier. 🤔
Pro tip for me : instead of Googling during the hunt (which is bad because that way you are giving the competition a chance of stealing something from you and also takes time when you should be fast) look through all the cars and look at the tires and paint, when I found my only super I even looked at the artwork too just in case, because the wheels alone are the clearest giveaway of the car, and check the TH on the car and the gold flame symbol beneath the car on the actual card. Most of the times I Google the case after to see if I missed on anything or to know if someone was already there before and took something I wanted.
@@whocares2465 Thanks for the tip, but that was 2 months ago and now I already remember all the TH and STH in 2021 cases. Now based on what’s left on the peg I will know what case it is instantly, like if there are all the fantasies then no need for me to dig through. But if new stock come in I just need to check the TH or STH model then I will know what case it is, because the STH model (the normal version) will be repeated in the next case, say there are lots of HKS civic on peg, then it must be the L case. Similarly, recently I saw heaps of Mercury Cougar on peg but only a few Audi R8, then it must be the M case.
Regular TH's are pretty easy, especially if you know what it is in the case. If you don't, just look for the silver/grey stamp on the card and the TH logo somewhere on the car. 😁👊

I watched one case unboxing and I don't know if he stacked the case prior to opening it, but he got the regular the super AND the ID in one case!
Its totally possible InJ Airgun! Ive gotten to a few Unicorn cases since uploading (check my G Case Super/GT500 find video). We call it a "unicorn case" when you find the super th, reg th, ID Chase, and mainline (of the super) all in the same case. Of course ID Chases only come every other case code, so technically it can be considered a unicorn case if its a non-ID case (see second datsun 510 super found video). 😁👊👍
Question, so the red line club, how do you even get those cars, or where do you find them?
You need to go to the HotWheels Collectors website and purchase an RLC account, its $10 for a year. After that you can stay tuned for the RLC releases which happen on Tuesdays (not every Tuesday but that is the release day). You gotta be quick, they sell out in minutes in most cases.

Hello, I’m 12 and have been collecting Hot wheel cars my whole life and never knew what super treasure hunt was but a few days ago I was going through my cars and I realized I had one that had rubber tires and I don’t know if it is a super treasure hunt because it is not in his case because the case was thrown away and you said that the rubber tires might be a sign and it has rubber tires so I don’t know if it’s one. The car is a McLaren P1 upside down on the back it says made in Thailand 1188MJ.1.NL 2016 MATTEL CFH20.Thank you!

And turned on notifications
Thank you Taylor! So there has never been a P1 Super unfortunately. I myself am really looking forward to the day they decide to make one! If it has rubber tires, metal base, and is orange...then that will be from the Cars & Donuts set! To my knowledge, that is the only premium McLaren P1 produced. 😁👊
Thanks
Thanks to you, I am now going to look at every car in the stores and see what I can find. Thanks you so much for the knowledge! 😍
Could you possibly make a video about Hotwheels Mail Ins? I'm pretty sure you have to mail in 20 cards to Mattel or something along those lines, but I can't find a single thing on the internet to tell me more than that.
Sure thing Bonnalish! Its pretty simple though, yes you will need 20 mainline cards but you need a few more things. For instance, here are the rules on the currently running GameStop Exclusive Camaro:
Buy 20 selected 1:64 scale Hot Wheels Mainline (basic) cars at GameStop.com or participating GameStop or Family Dollar locations from 1/1/22 to 3/25/22. Cars must be from the assortment numbers listed on the OFFICIAL RULES.
Mail the original cash register receipt(s), 20 blister cards (the entire cardboard piece, but not the car or plastic window) for each vehicle you order (limit of ten vehicles per household), and the completed order form* (fill out the form and print it), along with $7.00 US shipping and processing for each vehicle you order - check or money order only (unless you pay online via credit card) - made payable to MATTEL to:
'67 Off Road Camaro®
P.O. Box 1229
East Aurora, NY 14052
Hope this helps! 😁👍

@@HonestDiecast Awesome, thanks so much. That was really helpful. I also had a very hard time looking for that page on the internet, so glad I could finally look into it. Thanks, man! 👍
Thanks for the info. Now I know what to look for. I found a treasure hunt yesterday, a green Silverado. 8 thought it was a super treasure hunt but maybe it's not a super.
My pleasure Richard, and congrats on your find! That is the 2020 P Case Regular TH and an awesome one at that. There is a dark green variation of it that is VERY difficult to find! 😁👊
I hope I can get a super some day, or an id chase, would love to find them, I'm sadly never lucky, I always use your tips lol, how reare are I'd chases where yous are? I haven't see a single one, wood love to get my hands on one but yeah hopefully one day!, thanks for everything!!!!
The ID Chases are MUCH more common than that od Supers but lately hard to find. J Case BoneShaker and up have been tough because theyre good. I have yet to find the Aston ID. 😑
@@HonestDiecast I have yet to find any treasure other than the normals, I'd love to have an id as I think they're interesting but I don't think ill be lucky, 🤔🤔🤔
Its really tough, between case distribution
, other collectors, case crackers, inside jobs, and folks who have much more free time than you, its just really hard to find em.
@@HonestDiecast it's really sad, as when I go out hunting, I go hunting, I go litterally everywhere opening at least 5 cases and nothing, it's quite downing but I get the enjoyment out of it by buying mainlines that I love, thank you for all of the advice buddy
@@HonestDiecast I just think it's really sad, and people shoud be thinking about others, you sent a collector is you go out of your way to get every single value and see a castings as 🤑, that is wrong, collecting is about helping out others, you have taught me that, greed is never needed, we should think for your fellow collectors, it's just alittle messy
I been hunting supers on and off since 2009. It's pretty easy to spot the Supers from the regular casting. Nothing like finding a $uper in the wild. It doesn't happen everyday unless you're a scalper with friends hooking you up at Walmart, Dollarama etc. Hunt but keep it fun!
Amen! 😁👍👊
@@HonestDiecast👊 😉👍
Wow, what a video and information! I'm glad to find you
Thanks Mundo, super stoked that you find it useful and informative! Im happy you found me too, I hope you stick around and enjoy the ride! 😁👊🙏
Are the supers always sports cars & muscle cars, or do they ever do something like a super garbage truck or utility vehicle?
I don't remember any of those in recent memory, but they have done a few fantasy supers in the past 4 years.
Are you saying there's a Treasure Hunt in every single case? And that case will have either a Regular Treasure Hunt or a Super Treasure Hunt?
Do regular Treasure Hunts have TH on the car too?
They do infact have the TH insignia somewhere on the car, as well as a silver TH stamp on the card behind the actual car in the package.
So nearly every US case will have a regular TH in it with the exception of the exclusive cases (Target Reds, Zamacs, Kroger, Dollar General, etc...). In those cases you will probably see them but you may not. Then you have the oddball US case that does not have one, but most will have a regular TH. Most international cases will as well, though finding no regular TH in those cases is not exactly suprising. In all US case examples, you can mostly expect to find a regular TH as well as the case specific mainline OR Super TH car. In some cases, you will find a regular TH, a super TH, AND the mainline of the Super TH and we call those "unicorn cases". In 2020 and 2021, a unicorn case was the super TH, the mainline of the Super TH, a regular TH, and the ID Chase. ID chases however are not available or offered anymore by Mattel.
Hope that helps CAHM! 👊😁👍
@@HonestDiecast Perfect. Thank you. For the most part, I just collect Batman cars but I didn't realize that the Case A blue Batmobile was a TH car. I've actually held several TH cars not knowing they were and passed them up. I basically just buy what I think looks cool even though some of the color choices for these Batman cars aren't exactly what you think of when you think of Batman.
(Especially the current 2/5 Hunter Green & Brown versions) lol
Yeah, fortunately for you, Batman cars are very frequent reg TH's, you can pretty much count on 1 or 2 a year. 👊😁👍
@@HonestDiecast I was thinking of hunting at Target this weekend. I remember in the old days having Hot Wheels at each register too. Probably 12 years ago. What percentage of your Targets still stock cars at the registers?
I would say 1/3 - 1/2 the Targets I visit stock the registers. Seems more common at the Super Targets. 🤔👊
how did you get the oackage open without ripping the background paper? i can't figure it out

Great vid&info...👍✌️
Thanks Kimberly! I hope it helped! 😁🙏
i have mainline sesto elemento but ther is no CASE on the packaging
only GHC35-D7C5
That'll be an international card, Patrik! International is a bit tough to decipher because of the serial number they use. Unfortunately, you'll have to become familiar with US cases to get an idea of what case you're looking at for international card. However I can tell you now that if you have the light blue Sesto Elemento, it is from 2020 J Case/K Case carry-over. 👊😁👍
Hey man cool video just curious what would be a super treasure cars this year
Thanks M! Supers this year that have been released so far are:
A Case - Nissan 300ZX
B Case - Corvette Grand Sport Roadster
C Case - Rodger Dodger
D Case - Mazda RX7
E Case - Corvette Z06
F Case - Mazda RX3
G Case - Ford Shelby GT500
H Case - Datsun 510
J Case - Porsche 356 Outlaw
K Case - Civic Type-R
@@HonestDiecast is there a good easy to use site, or app that is a good spot to find the what cars and cases each hunt is in by year ext?
Not that I know of CRYPTO, Ill usually just pay attention to leaks and unboxings for upcoming cases. I always recommend Ministry Of Diecast on TH-cam for those! 😁👍
Do we know how many supers are being produced for every mix?
Mattel has not released an official number since 1997, but the guesstimation with growth the first 3 years is anywhere between 150,000 - 200,000 per super. Sounds like a lot, but consider that each mainline is produced in the millions and that roughly 1000 of those are reserved for the RLC Super THunt Sets at the end of year.
Also factor in sharp rise in factory theft. Theres a reason you see supers on the market that wont be out for another month or two and thats the reason. 😉👊
I once Hit up a dollar Store and When I mean the Hot wheels looked like heaven it was it was Probably Over 10 Cases on the racks and we left that store with so many Supers and Now that I think back about that long I bet I left so many I walked away with a Bunch or TH!
4 years and haven't found any here in Poland (where I live), however I've heard rumours that the are many Audi RS2 sth finds here so it raised up my hopes
I hope you are correct for the US as well! I love that Super! 👊😉👍
Is the 71' datsun a counterfeit?
No, why do you ask?
@@HonestDiecast I saw a video that said large letters on the right side of the box was something to look for. Also the number is not on the top right corner. I'm new to this and in the process of learning. Your video was very cool. Thanks.
Thanks J Yack! Yes, you can identify the case before you even crack it open by the stamping on the side of the case as well as the top rear of each card. Happy it helped my friend! 😁👊
How much do they cost at a store? Because I see that they are premium, does that mean they cost 5 dollars or 1 dolar
Nope, Super Treasure Hunts come in mainline cases so you pay what the respective store is charging for mainlines! Typically anywhere from $.94 - $1.69! 👊😁👍
I understand they are really cool to alot of people and fun to hunt for supers etc and HW been around a for a long time....The only thing that I like about hot wheels or matchboxes is their CHEAP PRICES... Nothing else. They are roughly detailed(even the premiums), weirdly scaled cartoon looking cars(fantasy designs and ones that are supposed to be actual existing cars)...Also the fact that you can find HWs in dollar stores tells you something... However, I'll give it to them, they are sturdy products that you could throw around....
I GENUINELY WANT TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE LOVE ABOUT HWs THAT KEEPS PEOPLE LOVING THESE AND COLLECTING THEM? -Cheers
I hear ya Timur! They aren't for everyone but they are for many of us! I think half of it is just the thrill of the hunt, being able to walk into a store and find what you want and maybe even find a chase! The great thing about imperfections on HW's and cheaper castings, is that if you're a customizer it gives you work to improve on and stuff to fix. If you're just a collector I can see why it may not be pleasing and one may opt to collect another scale or a better quality 1:64. To give credit though, HW castings have come a LONG way in the past 10 years quality and scale wise and the trajectory is pointing towards better to come. 😁👍
@@HonestDiecast Hey! Thank you for your reply! I just ask HW collectors/enthusiasts their reasons/opinions why they prefer to collect them. Yes, as you may already know/understand, I am one of those Greenlight, M2, Johnny Lightning, Auto World type of collectors haha Love the detail and realisticness of the castings! But yeah love cars and fellow car people and diecast collectors!
I cant blame you one bit my friend! M2, JL, and AW is awesome stuff! Im happy I opened up to collecting them! 👊😁👍
They are very wanted by many people especially children and also the fact that they are small and portable and the fact that some are very cool and others can be used for unique things (I'm looking at you, Experimotors)
Well said! 😁👍
Hey man do you do trades ? Need that Bluebird.
I do but Im on a bit of a hold until I get caught up with current deals or trades. Im a bit overwhelmed at the moment. 😁👊
does international case have super?
They indeed do, QAYBEE! They seem to be harder to find in International Cases vs US cases though. Possibly due to the factory theft and early scalping sales on them, which is my guess. I have probably found 45-50 supers in my 3 year hunting career. Out of all of those, I have only found 5 international card supers. Then again, not many stores stock international cards besides various grocery stores. 🤔
I have a The Joker Bone Shaker from 2012 in mint condition. How much you think it's worth?
As much as Id hate to say it Aleksimaier, sold Ebay would be a good starting point as I am unsure about the value of that one. 🤔😖
@@HonestDiecast Ok, I'll try digging a little more to find the value
What info is there on shippers
What info on shippers are you looking for?
@@HonestDiecast is there any rhyme to reason to what is put in shippers are they coated to let you know what will be in there like the regular cases or they just a jumbled mess of leftovers
Usually its a "wave" but even then there's variables. Especially this year wirh Covid. Like Kroger for instance right now in Arizona, J Case shippers and Kroger exclusives hitting the Marketplaces but not the smaller Frys. Walmarts Ive found G Bins, H Bins, and J Bins all in the past two weeks. Target had the L and M case bins with Reds but now I just found J Case at Target recently. Distribution is just a bit all over the place now. When these shipper displays start dropping at stores, people will post what they're finding and that'll give an idea. But as of recent its just been super inconsistent.
I was vaguely collecting here in the UK for a couple of years,, but only by visiting 2 or 3 local shops plus supermarkets. Only once did I find TH cars, and actually two on one shop. But after checking online and seeing the huge numbers that were actually produced, I decided not to get involved and took them back to the shop. The manager was happy to let me chose two others in exchange after I explained what they were. Heh, he prolly kept the TH cars. HW is reltavely expensive in the UK, about 2.7 times the price at £1.99.
Thats a great story Wordreet, thanks for sharing! Yeah our prices are also climbing up! 👊😩

🤣 Thanks Ferris! Glad you enjoyed and its cozy doen here for sure! 👊😄👍
I'm new to collecting. What are cases or what do cases mean?
Hey Bruce, there are 15 cases per year (A-Q, no I and no O). Thats how the yearly releases are broken up. So by knowing which case you're looking at, you know which cars to look for. I did make a Super Treasure Hunt Guide that goes over case identification a bit. Maybe check that out when you get a chance?
Hope this helps! 😁👊
Aw ok gotcha. Makes sense. And are you able to purchase these cases at like wal mart for example?
You cannot purchase full sealed cases from retail stores, but the only place I would recommend buying sealed cases from that is trust worthy is A&J Toys! You can buy them individually in US Card, International Card, or International Short Cards. You can also pay a $1 subscription which A&J will run your card automatically when new cases come in and they will be automatically sent out. A lot of channels that feature unboxings do this and honestly, its the way to go if you dont mind a full case! 😉😁👊
@@HonestDiecast awesome! Thank you i appreciate the advice. Im new to collecting so any info is helpful🙏
Always happy to help, Bruce! Any questions please ask! 😁👊
im a collector myself......thanks for the up-load....already subcribed

Thank you Brandon! Happy to help my friend! 👊😁👍
So how do I know which letter comes out for which month?
Puello, its not based on month. The letter will tell you what cars to expect in the case, thats about it. Some years the cases come earlier and some they come later. Sometimes we see A Case in November and sometimes we see it in late December/Early January. 😉👊
You are great man thanks❤🤝
Thank you Parsa! My pleasure! 😁👊❤🙏

thank you so much bro t helped me a lot
You got it my friend! Happy it helped! 😁👊
@@HonestDiecast no promblem
How many TH in one case series? Example K how TH will release
For each case how many cars? Just one specific car is designated the super and one specific car is designated the Reg TH. As far as total production numbers for each, there is no official number released by Mattel but the guesstimate is well north of 100,000.
These will Increase In value?
Super Treasure Hunts will usually almost always increase in value over time. How much is determined by the demand and the availability of them.
I always encourage folks to hunt and collect super treasure hunts for the fun and passion of it. The value will come naturally, just enjoy collecting and hunting them! 👊😁👍

I have yet to find a STH or even a TH 😥. I've been collecting 2yrs now.
Its a lot of work and dedication for sure!
I have a question how do you keep track of your cars id like an app like take a picture and it be put in collection
I just memorize what I have to the best of my ability. When new mains drop, I catch up on those as quick as I can so I can focus on the next cases being dropped when they hit. As far as real riders, I try to grab the new sets as soon as they drop so again, I can focus on the new sets on the way. Just makes it a lot easier to grab em and get em done ya know? Thats the reason I hunt for Supers A LOT is because Ive already caught up on everything dropped already. 😁👊
Compared to mainlines, sth is always abnormally shiny and most of them have their wheels looking very plasticy and abnormally stands out out of others
hmmm i didnt see a purple Porsche on that list
Keep up tha good work thanks for showing me 👀
Thanks for tuning in, bubz! I'm happy it helped!
@@HonestDiecast no prob CUZZ
In England it’s much rarer to encounter anything which is not a mainline I found a TH Pacifica a month ago was very happy finding it

I've heard the UK and Europe in General is VERY difficult to hunt. Sorry to hear of the troubles, Tom! 😖👊
Why’s it so difficult ?
Gecko, many factors. Dud cases, missed drops, inside jobs, inside collectors, so many things add up that works against us. We just gotta keep going and keep trying. 👊😖🤞

My pleasure Curtis, I hope it helped! 👊😁👍
Anyone from outside the US? Apparently it's impossible to find them... word is that they are already taken before hitting the pegs.
Still I wonder how popular is this in south america and if it's really the case
I've heard many of stories of store owners overseas taking supers from inventory before the cars hit the pegs. Its very unfortunate. 🤬👎
I found the sth 1995 rx7 recently
Congrats Mario! Gorgeous super 💯😁👊
I’d like to find either the hks sth or porshe outlaw sth I just find the cars cool looking
They are both gorgeous supers, Mason! 😁👊
One of the good things about US cases is you can identify what case it is by looking at the back. For international cases I have to guess by looking what’s left on the peg, and a bit of googling during the peg hunting. It would be so much more convenient if the international cases can have that little letter follow up at the back of the card🤣
Yes it would, I don't know why Mattel doesn't carry over the case identification to all international cases. Certainly would make things a lot easier. 🤔
Pro tip for me : instead of Googling during the hunt (which is bad because that way you are giving the competition a chance of stealing something from you and also takes time when you should be fast) look through all the cars and look at the tires and paint, when I found my only super I even looked at the artwork too just in case, because the wheels alone are the clearest giveaway of the car, and check the TH on the car and the gold flame symbol beneath the car on the actual card. Most of the times I Google the case after to see if I missed on anything or to know if someone was already there before and took something I wanted.
@@whocares2465 Thanks for the tip, but that was 2 months ago and now I already remember all the TH and STH in 2021 cases. Now based on what’s left on the peg I will know what case it is instantly, like if there are all the fantasies then no need for me to dig through. But if new stock come in I just need to check the TH or STH model then I will know what case it is, because the STH model (the normal version) will be repeated in the next case, say there are lots of HKS civic on peg, then it must be the L case. Similarly, recently I saw heaps of Mercury Cougar on peg but only a few Audi R8, then it must be the M case.
@@zishangsu6692 i still don't know what case It could be because in my country they skip a lot of cases, I'm always confused...

Only question is how to identify regular treasures now
Regular TH's are pretty easy, especially if you know what it is in the case. If you don't, just look for the silver/grey stamp on the card and the TH logo somewhere on the car. 😁👊
