Thanks for the kind words. Yes, Muscle Mania continues for 2013. The main segment will of course be Showroom. But there appears to be two different Muscle sub-segments. There is a HW Performance (Muscle) '69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator out now but there is also HW G-Machines (Muscle) with a '71 HEMI Cuda in candy red and a '70 Monte Carlo in blue coming soon. It may take a couple more cases before we really understand. It sure would be nice if Mattel gave us a list =)
I agree. One of the complaints that Mattel hears about every year is the small text on the cards. Yet, they keep goofing around with the cards and still putting small text. Some of us are getting older, you know!
@MadViper. spencer There are two levels. Basic and Super. Supers have rubber tires, special paint. Basic Treasure Hunts have plastic wheels, regular paint and the blue circle flame logo.
I get a strong feeling that Mattel would like for adult collectors to leave the basic Treasure Hunts for the kids. Congrats on finding a handful of 2012 Supers! Many collectors believe that removing the green stripe greatly increased the odds of collectors finding the Supers.
Let's enjoy the A case assortments before we start to get antsy for the B cases =) I will be looking again at the segments from this A case because I goofed up a little bit.
Thanks, I messed up. Yes, I confused the Vampyra being a 2012. I was trying to quickly make a point at the end of the video and I made a mistake. The sub-series might be contained within the specific segment. It might be the New Models that will be spread out amongst the major Segments and not the other various series.
Hot Wheels are basically released every 3-4 weeks. If Walmarts are getting Dump Bins, then it would be in a similar cycle. I do no keep track of whether WM gets the bins every case code. It seems to me that they do not.
Yes, a few videos ago, I did a review on the Custom '71 El Camino (Team Hot Wheels Leader). congrats on the Jammers. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive. I think WM sold out of them for awhile because they are not sending me the ten that I ordered. The are only sending six, I think.
Thanks! I though I was going crazy for a moment there =) As much as I like the Furai, I don't want to see the same one in the same color for months on end...
No, please do not ask for free stuff. The duplicates are used in future videos and extras are donated to charity. Search for Racegrooves Friends and Helpers.
Geez, I can talk, LOL! I only talked about the backs of the cars this time so that the newer collectors can get a grip on what's going on. For the next case, I won't be going into so much details about the sub-series. Like I said, I just want to focus on the cars. As for those people who got to complete series, that's their bed that they choose to sleep in =)
Sorry, I have no idea if you will be finding the Mars Rover. Hopefully, stores in your area will get older cases that had the Rover. It is not unusual for Dollar Stores to get older merchandise.
There is a person on the Hot Wheels website who swears there's a THunt in EVERY case, no matter how many of us who buy cases tell him this same thing. Nice video.
10-packs do not contain exclusive cars. That's why you already found the green BMW 2002 and the Citroen Rally in them. However, you may find wheel variations in the 10-packs =)
well i have been watching your videos from past 6 months but never really commented or kept like for your videos, but finally felt like i shud comment and like for the videos u r uploading (sply effort that u take daily) so here am i..i have gathered lot of information abt hothweels from your channel ..thanks alot for your videos and infos u share ...:) ..by the way my age is 23 :D
Actually, it is easier to find the track stars. There is a yellow stripe in the upper left-hand corner that says Track Stars or it says Great For The Track
Nice informational video. Glad to see that the Hot Wheels Mainline has improved a lot with some realistic licensed cars. (Especially the Celica) Grabbed some at Walmart, but a couple days later, the 2013s were completely gone! Suppose people really want the new models. Interesting to see that they're still releasing 2012s... Hope to see 2013 Boulevards soon.
I will never do a complete collection video. I have over 7,000 pieces. It took me 25 minutes to talk about the 72 in this video. How long do you think the video would be with 7,000 cars LOL! I bring out my old stuff when I can tell a story and make it interesting.
congrats on that sweet Torino STH. That spectra Aqua is my favorite color for the STHs. My fav from this case has to be that Purple Passion. Growler in chrome is on my wish list.
Hey Racegrooves! Great video. I went to check my Ford Grand Torino for the flame on the card but it wasn't there! Super treasure hunt model, reflective paint and rubber tires but no flame logo! Super cool stuff!
You're not flying blind if you keep abreast of the collector news =) But I understand what you are saying. Matchbox doesn't put any information at all as to whether a model is a first release and I can't keep track of what I have and what I don't.
i agree with you. Theres too many segments, sub segments and whatnot. But they remove the scan barcode logo on the front of the card which was on the top left corner of the 2012 card
Treasure Hunts are just another series but they are more limited than regular releases. Please search TH-cam for my 2013 Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt Information And New Segmenting presentation. It will explain it better.
Where do u get all of the treasure hunts??!!!! I've been looking for a really freaking long time trying to find them and they have been anything but visible to me
The Canadian/International cards don't have the "New for 2013" bubbles. We're flying blind, unless we study what's new in advance (though I was 99% sure the Celica was new when I bought it a couple of weeks ago).
ya i used to collect coins and now started this ....but u know all these cars are really hard to find in other countries sply in India..i don''t know why.. so just @racegrooves is a great channel gives me the pleasure of watch different type of cars...;)
Just wanted to let you know that because of this video i found both the Bread box and the Super T-hunt torino tonight. I would have had NO CLUE the Bread box was a t-hunt if you wouldn't have pointed it out in this video. Thanks Again. James
From a case of 72 cars, I counted 30 from 2012. Hoping my case has more 2013 cars. Wouldn't mind the Red Bird and Mystery Machine though... Great video as always!
Please don't correct people's spelling or grammar. I want my videos to be a place where people can participate and not have to worry about being teased or ridiculed. We are just talking about toy cars here. While we are at it, make sure that you capitalize the first letter of your comments and use a period at the end.
The thing I'll miss the most about the current cards is having the name of the car in big letters along the right side of the car. It made browsing tightly-spaced pegs at high volume sales stores like Walmart and Toys R' Us so much easier. Now I'm probably going to have to pull cards from the back of the pegs just to see what they are if I can't tilt the ones in front far enough to see the picture or car itself.
Hey Mark thanks for sharing this with us. I agree that this year is going to be rather confusing. I'll be honest and say that I think I bought a lot more in 2012 than I really had to. I think I'll be focusing more on cars I like rather than getting as many as possible. Hey glad to see that Mini Countryman. Looks pretty cool. As I recall, I believe that was originally a 2012 release but it was replaced with the Monster Dairy Delivery IIRC.
Some great video's, It's a shame our packages in the UK are different, we have the silly Red, Blue, Green and yellow teams so they don't mark the packaging with the sub-section! Also a little harder to spot the T-Hunts, but after watching your video's i now know what im looking for in 2013! Thank you!
@13gchavez By the way, it was great to get to meet you! Thanks for taking the time to say Hi. Now, if I hit a Dump Bin before you, I will set something aside and let you know where to find it =)
That is quite confused, for example the Subaru WRX STi is not in the HW Stunt - Road Rally with the Mini Countryman and the Citroen C4. It gets even better with the fragmented labeling applied to the exotics. It does at least seem to be a large increase of castings this year. I wonder if any cars will have multiple labels in the year. Happy thanksgiving from up north, thanks for the great videos.
Yes, the Super is a nice looking car! Even Poochefmarrowbee found one and he didn't even know it was a Super! He just thought that it was a great looking car!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, Muscle Mania continues for 2013. The main segment will of course be Showroom. But there appears to be two different Muscle sub-segments.

HELLO
Thanks! It will be interesting to see the segmenting but I won't be talking about it much in the future.
The Ralph's bags have some Matchbox 5-packs that I picked up at the convention. Yes, I will be showing them in detail in the future.
@mohanead Yes. the 2013 cars have been in the stores for a few months now.
Thanks for taking the time to finally pop in and say HI!
You're welcome for the videos =)
Thanks, yes, I understand that distribution can be spotting in England.
Yes, that's what I get for rushing to talk about something at the end. I will do a follow-up video. Thanks =)
Thanks, I couldn't think of the next Super quick enough even though I have seen pics.
It is much more satisfying when you have a focus. Enjoy hunting for trucks!
I agree. One of the complaints that Mattel hears about every year is the small text on the cards. Yet, they keep goofing around with the cards and still putting small text. Some of us are getting older, you know!
Assortments are released every 3-4 weeks.

Really good informative video....best 26 minutes I've spent in a long time.
Let's enjoy the A case assortments before we start to get antsy for the B cases =) I will be looking again at the segments from this A case because I goofed up a little bit.
@Justin Malloy I am not aware of any Deora II current releases.
Thanks, I messed up. Yes, I confused the Vampyra being a 2012. I was trying to quickly make a point at the end of the video and I made a mistake.

Sealed cases can be purchased from eBay. They are about $100 with tax and shipping.
Hot Wheels are basically released every 3-4 weeks. If Walmarts are getting Dump Bins, then it would be in a similar cycle. I do no keep track of whether WM gets the bins every case code. It seems to me that they do not.
I have the next few PTTD's filmed but I need to edit the footage. Maybe I can have one for this weekend.
Reverb hasn't been released in a few years. You will have to find one at a collector show or online places such as eBay.
As you can see in this video, Hypertruck is still being released in the stores.
When the next year's new models start appearing, there will still be the current year cars in the assortment.
Yes, a few videos ago, I did a review on the Custom '71 El Camino (Team Hot Wheels Leader). congrats on the Jammers. I'm still waiting for mine to arrive. I think WM sold out of them for awhile because they are not sending me the ten that I ordered. The are only sending six, I think.
Thanks! That was a cool find to have both a super and a basic =)
Thanks! I though I was going crazy for a moment there =) As much as I like the Furai, I don't want to see the same one in the same color for months on end...
I'm not sure what you are referring to when you talk about a 2011 Bedlam Stun Team series but the Bedlam model is smaller than the Hyper Truck.
Excellent video. The Super Blitzen in team colors looks real good. Thanks for the up close look .
No, please do not ask for free stuff. The duplicates are used in future videos and extras are donated to charity. Search for Racegrooves Friends and Helpers.
Congrats on the super Mark!2013 is going to be an interesting year for collectors.So many cool castings!

The yellow stripe on the card of the F1 Racer says something to the effect that it is great on the track.
I don't have any information regarding any upcoming Wall Tracks sets yet.
Sorry, I have no idea if you will be finding the Mars Rover. Hopefully, stores in your area will get older cases that had the Rover. It is not unusual for Dollar Stores to get older merchandise.
I have no idea when you local stores will be receiving the A cases.
Thanks. I am glad to help. Happy hunting!
Thanks! Sorry about missing your last few episodes. I saved my email announcement of your uploads so I can catch up =)
The extra cars get used in future videos or they get donated to charity.

It's OK, I'm sure you will find 2013 releases soon.
Thanks for all the treasure hunt info. It really helps me out!
I sure hope 2013 will be a great year! Too bad Matchbox can't get their act together.
Congrats!
I love the unboxings!Great case and Great video Mark!

@BachmannFan1223 All that we will know are the special colors and the 'first to market' models.
You're welcome. Have fun collecting =)
Collectors are wondering the same thing. Why two Falcon Supers two years in a row?
congrats on that sweet Torino STH. That spectra Aqua is my favorite color for the STHs. My fav from this case has to be that Purple Passion. Growler in chrome is on my wish list.
@monkeyman503 yes, miss-cards happen.
The 2013 '70 Toyota Celica doesn't hang around very long around here either.
Only time will tell if they finally have an FTE release also be a Treasure Hunt.
Hey Racegrooves! Great video. I went to check my Ford Grand Torino for the flame on the card but it wasn't there! Super treasure hunt model, reflective paint and rubber tires but no flame logo! Super cool stuff!
You're not flying blind if you keep abreast of the collector news =) But I understand what you are saying. Matchbox doesn't put any information at all as to whether a model is a first release and I can't keep track of what I have and what I don't.
LOL! Yeah, I had to clear room for the case but I left some stuff on the side =)
i agree with you. Theres too many segments, sub segments and whatnot. But they remove the scan barcode logo on the front of the card which was on the top left corner of the 2012 card
Yes, the Batman Live reminds me of 4Ward Speed.
mark do you have the gulf fast fish tresure hunt and what case is it in? absolute marvelous car
just a question do you know if any T Hunts with the flame logo is going to be at k-day?
Treasure Hunts are just another series but they are more limited than regular releases. Please search TH-cam for my 2013 Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt Information And New Segmenting presentation. It will explain it better.
Where do u get all of the treasure hunts??!!!! I've been looking for a really freaking long time trying to find them and they have been anything but visible to me
Yeah, they stole the screen shots and had them posted in less than 4 hours. I am deleting your comment because I don't allow any references to them.
11:23 That's you! (Leave a time marker a little earlier so that people can understand what is leading up to your point)
The Canadian/International cards don't have the "New for 2013" bubbles. We're flying blind, unless we study what's new in advance (though I was 99% sure the Celica was new when I bought it a couple of weeks ago).
That's it! 4Ward Speed - Thanks =)
ya i used to collect coins and now started this ....but u know all these cars are really hard to find in other countries sply in India..i don''t know why.. so just @racegrooves is a great channel gives me the pleasure of watch different type of cars...;)
What is the Subsegment of the Ford Torino? Also, the Vampyra and T-Rextroyer are 2012 Thrill Racers, not 2013.
Just wanted to let you know that because of this video i found both the Bread box and the Super T-hunt torino tonight. I would have had NO CLUE the Bread box was a t-hunt if you wouldn't have pointed it out in this video. Thanks Again. James
The Olds 442 W-30 could be a Super in the future, I wouldn't know right now.
From a case of 72 cars, I counted 30 from 2012. Hoping my case has more 2013 cars. Wouldn't mind the Red Bird and Mystery Machine though...
Great video as always!

@racegrooves I see a Ralph's bag in the background are they cars for future videos?
When does the dumpbins normally come out? Thanks!
I noticed the case no longer has the purple stripe...cost cutting I guess. How long before all the cars are plastic on plastic?
The thing I'll miss the most about the current cards is having the name of the car in big letters along the right side of the car. It made browsing tightly-spaced pegs at high volume sales stores like Walmart and Toys R' Us so much easier. Now I'm probably going to have to pull cards from the back of the pegs just to see what they are if I can't tilt the ones in front far enough to see the picture or car itself.
I got the BMW 2002 in green in a 10 car pack back in august of this year..hows that? do you know?
I like to focus on red, white and blue cars =)
Hey Mark thanks for sharing this with us. I agree that this year is going to be rather confusing. I'll be honest and say that I think I bought a lot more in 2012 than I really had to. I think I'll be focusing more on cars I like rather than getting as many as possible.

Mark, Great vid as always. Was just wondering. What case usually shows up at the November K-day??
I already can't wait for the B case to come out and I agree it is confusing all the segments
Yes, score!
Yes, the Super is a nice looking car! Even Poochefmarrowbee found one and he didn't even know it was a Super! He just thought that it was a great looking car!
@james king Woohoo! Congrats!
sorry for asking but, how did you get a whole box of hot wheels? can I order it from somewhere?
Watch the video and figure it out.
Purple passion is a beauty, thanks nice video.
The case was sealed so whatever came out of the case, that was it.
What do you do with the doubles?
