I never realized how collectable errors were in the past. But recently, I've noticed how much more unique errors can be. I skipped a Ken Block Fiesta missing the front wheels, but then I was told they were special so I drove back as quickly as possible to buy it! :D This video's helped me see the other possible errors to spot.
Lmao yep that's how it is with about everything my son ask me all the time with his trading cards and I say the same quote and he gives me that blank lost stare
@Hotshotmech38 What was the error with the Shadow Jet? Errors that are more likely are bent front axles and the canopy over the driver's compartment is often loose or missing.
Your right! Errors are only worth what someone will pay for them. A good example of that is that I saw a 2012 Super TH have a so called "major paint error" for sale on Ebay. I didn't think it was major, and the person was selling it for $175! I'm not suprised that nobody offered to buy it!
Good talk. It's a shame that more and more people try to collect things for the monetary value rather than the joy of collecting. They think because it seems rare it's worth more money. But like you said, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay. Loving those T-buckets. They remind me so much of one of my all-time favorite castings, the Hot Heap!!
Since they come from maylasia and someone makes a profit even at $1.00 each , I'm not shocked that quality control is about as reliable as a plumbers estimate . I had a summer job in a Plant that made bottled items and the job paid really well in 1974 . I spotted the odd bad plastic bottle and a chipped glass one right at the screw-on cap spot , there were even defective screw-on caps that would have just made it into the box for retail stores. The pay made me want to keep the job ........maybe some of the workers fear being seen as a malcontent pointing out minor issues when the Stores might catch serious error and treat like damage inventory and eat the loss.
Baseball cards & Pokémon cards are made with way huger profit margin, yet they still high standards with quality control. Though when either one of them have an error it’s worth allot more then a regular card.
I was confused with my economics homework and so I decided to take a break and relax and watch some racegrooves and this video really helped me understand demand for products. Thank you so much!
Finding that piece of fabric in the package happens from time to time. People think it's a band-aid but it isn't. Your Angry Birds piece is an awesome find! If you make a video of your Errors, you can post it as a Video Response to this Error video. It won't automatically post, I have to approve it.
I don't buy models with bent axles or with the wheels jammed under the fender anymore. It seems more like it's messed up rather than an Error but that's my perspective on the issue.
That would be an ALW Error (All Large Wheels). That is an awesome piece for two reasons. It is on a Treasure Hunt release and it is on a fan-favorite model! As for how Rare, it is pretty rare. By the way, this video is one of the few where I allow Video Responses if people want to share their Errors. Remember, kid-friendly, be respectful, and try to keep it as short as possible.
As I stated in the video, it's only worth what somebody would pay. With your car being a popular release, I would think that it would be worth more than the original purchase price.
@Bangerkid45 Treasure Hunt Errors are most awesome! I opened up this video to accept Video Responses so if you do a showcase video on your Error(s), you can post it here.
Collecting errors may be fun and people should do it if they enjoy it but spending a lot on them is not wise because it is so easy to open them, change things around and seal them up again with no way of telling.
You just have to judge the person your buying from .plus it's a lot of hard work for very little profit so can imagine there are a lot of people doing it .
I was just schooled... I have been collecting for over 45yrs and I only collect what catches my eye. I never even knew about those "mistakes" that's very interesting..
I agree. There's no physical price guide on errors because errors are not planned by the company. So, if you come up to an error, make sure you found it, don't buy errors off eBay or someone you don't know because that error might have been orchestrated.
I would never buy an error car but I have found in stores and I did collect them then .... in 2000 it started happening “tampering” and it sucks. So I know that mine are 100% and I’m good with that ... thanks for the info
So I just found a Miata in a Stinger branded box, and I picked up both the stinger and miata in their original packaging's. Would they be worth anything?
I specialized in errors. ASW, ALW, missing tampos, fenders, etc. USUALLY if it`s a fake it does not "feel right" as soon as I inspect it. It even got down to using a 10x loop to inspect pixels on the card.
very nice, and don't forget, in another vid of un-boxing a whole box you found the van with the miss rivatted base, i don't have error cars, just error cases,
Can someone help describe what i have i got a 17' Jeep Gladiator in green from Matchbox, and the rivets or those studs they rolled on the bottom are untouched. took it out of the pack and it fell apart. studs are full length and were never smashed. What could this be valued or is it worth keeping.
I have been collecting Hot Wheels cars (star wars and marvel) for probably 5 yrs now and i have about 100+ and i can tell you that i had NO clue that all hot wheels cars aimed to the right ... And as i look at each one, sure enough they ALL aim to the right ... And like you said, its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it ..
It dawned on me today for some reason that your ASW dealers choice Baja Bug looked familiar to me. Turns out the one I have also has the ASW error. Just to confirm it's supposed to have a big back wheel I ebayed it and low and behold it's supposed to LoL!! I bought it new and had it this whole time and I can safely say it's my first Error find!!!!! Thanks Groovy for da vid!!!!
You would think that the person at the factory would notice the wheels and axles missing! But guess what, every Hot Wheels release still sells, with or without wheels LOL!
I am not able to reply to every comment. I get over a hundred comments a day but I do reply to most of them. As for your Errors, congrats on finding Mixed Wheel Errors. They are favorites of mine!
Found a corvette c7r hw race team that had the front rivet double stamped so the front underside of the car is a bit mangled ,packaging is perfect. Interesting find.
And of course, I also see cars w/random wheels missing paint every now and then. My first sighting of the current HW Exotics 5-pack was at a Walgreens, and noticed that the right front wheel on the Lotus was unpainted. When I went back a week later (to check for Maisto restocks or THs), it was gone. 5-packs are pricey at Walgreens, so I'm pretty sure that it either went to an error collector or someone who thought they could make money off of it (in the case of the latter, good luck to them)
Yes, that would be an error. I suspect that your natural follow-up question is going to be, how much is it worth? th-cam.com/video/Pu-eOkG80Lc/w-d-xo.html They are only worth what somebody is willing to pay.
Can I have your opinion if the Soo Fine I have that has its top resting on the bottom of the car (top/bottom reversal, poetic) inside the blister an error. Some guys in the HWC forums thinks it's not. I think it is.
Hi Racegrooves, interesting video as always, i love all your presentations i find them very useful. Today i found 1 Ford Fiesta treasure hunt 2014 with a Nissan Skyline GT-R card, no video but the pic is on my profile, greetings from Mexico
where did you find the green gallardo. i have for gallardos 1 white whit red stripes (speed machine) 2 gray whit orange stripes and 1 blue white gold stripes (same designe as the grey onces). do you sell the green galardo on KIJIJI. i am ready to pay the same amount as the speed machines which i recall was 3 or 4$.
i have a question for you pls,i watched another guys video were he bought like 7 of the same regular t-hunts(but left 1 on the pegs for someone else to find).the comments slated him calling him a scalper,what is a scalper?.
6674shorty That is not the correct use of the term 'scalper'. A scalper is somebody who takes a currently available item and re-sells it at a higher price. On that note, if you find something in the stores and you want to buy them all, that is your prerogative. Whether you buy them for yourself to hoard, to give to friends or to re-sell, they are yours to do with whatever you decide.
Hi Mr. RaceGrooves, I am a new subscriber and enjoy videos. I am a Hot Wheels car acquirer, I open everything, because I play with my cars not easy to play with packages, I recently found a Treasure Hunt Stockar and got it home and was looking at it, I noticed the rear was not riveted flush so I didn't open it. Great job on your videos. I enjoy the track-time videos the most.
Thanks for this Racegrooves. I have a few errors myself and LOVE finding and collecting them, I agree that they're only worth what the buyer will pay but the "cool factor" has to play into it. I'd love to show you the few I have but I'm a complete novice at making and posting videos. I have the yellow 458 Lamborghini with two windshields - a blue corvette grand sport that didn't get snapped in the back all the way - a flipped around real rider porsche - a gold delorean with a missing hatch.
0:57 11 years after this video was uploaded, i learned that Matchbox cars are packaged left and Hot Wheels are packaged Right and i honestly never noticed until now.
I have an odd one I found today. R02 date code on a 76 GREENWOOD HW CONTOURED. Package is kinda beat up seal doesn’t look messed with. Is that unusual? It’s an obvious R02
Package error- a chevy pickup set a a peculiar angle as if the card was angled on the line. Peg reinforcement even offset. Didn't even notice till I got it home.
I previously bought a Mitsubishi Evo 10 with different wheel set from other Evos on the shelf. The front is red chrome ten spoke then the back is five spoke. I didn't plan to sell it but a collector offered me about $70 for it. He collects error cars and it's his first time seeing a mismatched wheel Evo 10 that's why.
.i have that solaire cx4 white min 10:34...mine is red color with the gts 13 stamp on it error on a card that says mustang mach 1 can some one help me cause i dont find that on google or other forums..help pliz
I never noticed until you pointed it out that the Matchbox cars face left and the Hot Wheels to the right. I have one error: Matchbox Volkswagen T2 with a missing window unit. Sealed in the original package and i bought it new from the shop.
@Nerflover787 I wonder if the tape in the package was to mark a defective car but I don't see anything wrong with the car. But maybe it just got stuck to the car before it got stuck in the package LOL. You're welcome for being a subscriber =)
Is there a quality control to correct the problem. Or, does Mattel just let them go to keep up profits up. The toy is only one dollar, but they are making so many they don't care about the quality of their product? When people buy defective products just lets them to improve their quality control. It's a big problem in Super Treasure Hunts. Allowing workers selling them on eBay. If Mattel doesn't take pride in their product how can collectors give more value on them? I love collecting Hot Wheels but should be in MINT conditions. Don't buy errors make them improve the quality. This is my opinion.
Most Hot Wheels are made in China or Taiwan...the standards are not as high as made in U.S.A. Many times, some parts outnumber the # of cars of any particular model. So left over parts can be and are used (waste not, want not). I collected variations because they were purposely produced...errors are also fun to buy, but it takes an avid collector to spot them. Like the guy said on the video, value is subject to what a person is willing to pay. I have well over a thousand HW...My collection will go to my daughter when I die...I have many rare variations and treasure hunts...I am hoping that when she reaches my age, she will be able to average $5.00 per car.
I never realized how collectable errors were in the past. But recently, I've noticed how much more unique errors can be. I skipped a Ken Block Fiesta missing the front wheels, but then I was told they were special so I drove back as quickly as possible to buy it! :D This video's helped me see the other possible errors to spot.
Today's lesson is "How much are they worth"! Only wat' sum one is willing to pay! 😂😂 thx for sharing
Lmao yep that's how it is with about everything my son ask me all the time with his trading cards and I say the same quote and he gives me that blank lost stare
Sure. At the very least he could've looked at sold comps and let us know instead of the canned answer everyone gives.
Thank you for continuing to saying that it is only worth what someone is willing to give for it
Reversed bases are awesome finds!
Ya! But I don’t have one:/
I only have missing tempos on one
@ferrarifan9102 No-Tampo Errors are excellent finds - Congrats! Wait, it was on the left side? So did you have to open it up to find the Error?
@Hotshotmech38 What was the error with the Shadow Jet? Errors that are more likely are bent front axles and the canopy over the driver's compartment is often loose or missing.
Your right! Errors are only worth what someone will pay for them. A good example of that is that I saw a 2012 Super TH have a so called "major paint error" for sale on Ebay. I didn't think it was major, and the person was selling it for $175! I'm not suprised that nobody offered to buy it!

Loving those T-buckets. They remind me so much of one of my all-time favorite castings, the Hot Heap!!
Race grooves are the chevy Avalanche hard to find?
I don't think that the Avalanche is currently available from any of the diecast brands. Last year, Mattel had a pink version.
Yes! mis-matched wheels are one of my favorite errors as well. As for customizing them, I keep them in the package =)
Since they come from maylasia and someone makes a profit even at $1.00 each , I'm not shocked that quality control is about as reliable as a plumbers estimate .
I had a summer job in a Plant that made bottled items and the job paid really well in 1974 . I spotted the odd bad plastic bottle and a chipped glass one right at the screw-on cap spot , there were even defective screw-on caps that would have just made it into the box for retail stores.

Hey, but don't go to your teacher and tell him how an error can be a potential mark-up on a product! 😂

My cousin has one with a missing door lol,only the plastic is there

so when i have yellow miata with piece of yellow paint stuck in the plastic box, is worth more than regular one? or it doesnt matter in this place
How old r u
That's a nice conversation piece to show your friends and fellow collectors.
It's only worth what somebody will pay for it. But I think they were all made like that so it would not be an unusual piece.
I don't buy models with bent axles or with the wheels jammed under the fender anymore. It seems more like it's messed up rather than an Error but that's my perspective on the issue.

Is it still in the package?

Collecting errors may be fun and people should do it if they enjoy it but spending a lot on them is not wise because it is so easy to open them, change things around and seal them up again with no way of telling.
Not true. The packaging will tear when you open it and you can't hide the damage when resealing.
There is a way to open the card without tearing it, search: "How to counterfeit errors" and you'll see what i mean.
th-cam.com/video/u6boerzXMro/w-d-xo.html
You just have to judge the person your buying from .plus it's a lot of hard work for very little profit so can imagine there are a lot of people doing it .
bro, people use accitone to open the car and then air dry it to put it back together.
I was just schooled... I have been collecting for over 45yrs and I only collect what catches my eye. I never even knew about those "mistakes" that's very interesting..
@WILDARMHORN Most Hot Wheels models do not have side-view mirrors. The Delorean doesn't have them either.
I agree. There's no physical price guide on errors because errors are not planned by the company. So, if you come up to an error, make sure you found it, don't buy errors off eBay or someone you don't know because that error might have been orchestrated.
That sounds like one heck of an error! Is it still in the package?
@MrDaleJr2011 Yes, I would agree. It would be hard me to get my buck back if I were to resell it.
I have a question I bought a Hot Wheels 70s Chevelle SS that has a bent axle does that mean is has an error or is that just something else
I would never buy an error car but I have found in stores and I did collect them then .... in 2000 it started happening “tampering” and it sucks. So I know that mine are 100% and I’m good with that ... thanks for the info
Good showing Mark. have a few myself but don't go crazy after it, thanks for taking your time to show us all those pieces.
Are t buckets fast on the track? Hope your having a great week!
@jckid02 I do not do sales or trades with people under the age of 18. Sorry.
Treasure Hunt Errors are pretty cool!
So I just found a Miata in a Stinger branded box, and I picked up both the stinger and miata in their original packaging's.
Would they be worth anything?
I specialized in errors. ASW, ALW, missing tampos, fenders, etc. USUALLY if it`s a fake it does not "feel right" as soon as I inspect it. It even got down to using a 10x loop to inspect pixels on the card.
hi if the cars back is not drilled in properly and the whole bottom part is side ways is that an error?
it’s a ford mustang ‘07 btw
very nice, and don't forget, in another vid of un-boxing a whole box you found the van with the miss rivatted base, i don't have error cars, just error cases,
Have you seen one without front wheels in a 5 pack? I have one if interested
Nice find but I am not interested in acquiring it.
Hey Racegrooves I have a 1985 Honda city turbo 2 error where it got a silver five spoke wheel instead red disc wheel.
I just found a surfin' school bus in my closet with redline wheels. How much (theoretically) would it be worth if I sold it?
Can someone help describe what i have i got a 17' Jeep Gladiator in green from Matchbox, and the rivets or those studs they rolled on the bottom are untouched. took it out of the pack and it fell apart. studs are full length and were never smashed. What could this be valued or is it worth keeping.
That type of error is called an 'unspun' error since the post wasn't spun/flared out to grip the base.
RaceGrooves any value to it being it is unspun, its like the machine never toutched it
@eatpogs I am glad to hear that you two are happy and busy :)

A friend of mine has a boneshaker T-hunt that has big wheels on the front and the back.
How rare of an error is this?
Is a backwards 84 pontiac grand prix the hot ones worth getting? and if so how much do you think it is worth?
Thank you for sharing...Just found me a error Hot Wheel missing front wheels on a McLaren Elva..;)
i have a ''hot ones'' that supposed to be a grand national but there is a amc pacer instead. kinda cool. got it at alcos before they went under
I just found my first Hot Wheels error, i was so exited.

Hi I have the Yellow Submarine with someone's random hair in the box (packaging) with it. Would that be worth anything? Thanks
i bought a hot wheels 67 GTO last year and the body is twisted but it still got riveted. any thoughts?
Yes, values are based on what somebody is willing to pay. Certain models and errors will definitely be more collectible than others.
@ThunderBird6619 Thanks for watching!
If you have an Error, you can post a video response to this video!
I like the truck with no wheels lol. I have a big collection and thanks for the help with the 2013 treasure hunt series:)
My brother in law has a dodge viper super treasure hunt with the bottom bolt missing so its open in the front. How much is that worth?

i got a lotus hot wheels that the stripe on the side is wrong, its not straight, is It worth something extra?
I find an error on my Cool One. The Vinyls were missing from the left side.
Any idea what the cars where the plastic bubbles are on the wrong part of the packaging are?
I have an odd one I found today. R02 date code on a 76 GREENWOOD HW CONTOURED. Package is kinda beat up seal doesn’t look messed with.
Is that unusual?
It’s an obvious R02
@nate26894 In my experience, small wheels do not make the car faster .

Package error- a chevy pickup set a a peculiar angle as if the card was angled on the line. Peg reinforcement even offset. Didn't even notice till I got it home.

I've got a White Nissan gtr thats missing its windows. Is that a good one?
What about a misaligned clear packaging? Is that a common error?
Yes, it is supposed to have both wings. Nice find!
I never noticed until you pointed it out that the Matchbox cars face left and the Hot Wheels to the right. I have one error: Matchbox Volkswagen T2 with a missing window unit. Sealed in the original package and i bought it new from the shop.
As I stated in the video, it's only worth what somebody will pay for it. I wouldn't know.
I heard about there being an errored Acceleracers RD-06 with mismatched wheels, 5 spoke in front, 6 spoke in back.
No. It was a 2007 new model, It was also few years ago when I was not that involved, and so I did not notice the "error".
I have one in the blister where the rivet was pushed up through the bottom to through the base into the hood.
I have a '73 pontiac firebird and the bird on the car has only one wing. Is that an error?

Is there a quality control to correct the problem. Or, does Mattel just let them go to keep up profits up.

Most Hot Wheels are made in China or Taiwan...the standards are not as high as made in U.S.A.
Many times, some parts outnumber the # of cars of any particular model. So left over parts can be and are used (waste not, want not). I collected variations because they were purposely produced...errors are also fun to buy, but it takes an avid collector to spot them. Like the guy said on the video, value is subject to what a person is willing to pay.
I have well over a thousand HW...My collection will go to my daughter when I die...I have many rare variations and treasure hunts...I am hoping that when she reaches my age, she will be able to average $5.00 per car.
@z1546796 Errors are cool finds. They are quite the conversation piece. But as you and I know, only certain ones are worth more than retail price.
