Posts about Hot Wheels Cars
Look for the low production symbol (a circle with a flame) somewhere on the vehicle. The card may have a low production symbol behind the vehicle or have nothing to reveal that a car is a Treasure Hunt. Some U.S. releases starting in 2014 had the phrase “This symbol on the vehicle lets you know…
Previously, I discussed Super Treasure Hunts, because, well they’re the shiny toy everyone wants. Literally. But there’s more to the idea than just Supers. There are also the Regular Treasure Hunts, or just Treasure Hunts as they were known. n 1995, Mattel released a new series of Hot Wheels called Treasure Hunts. They were randomly…
Meijer got into the game this week, delivering on the first spotting of Hot Wheels H case and their third gold exclusive. Other highlights: Now to find that H case Super…
Super Treasure Hunts are a big part of the Hot Wheels Collecting experience, and these are some castings that I would like to see released as a Super in the future. Real Rider wheels, spectraflame paint, and more often than not, a good paint scheme are part of what makes Supers special.
It was announced that Dollar General would be hosting the next round of Hot Wheels exclusives along with a mail in vehicle, after Kroger and GameStop recently. To this point, it’s been a fiasco.

In 2020, I’ve really been concentrating on Target, as they have been more up to date on the newest cases of Hot Wheels, and generally get stock in more frequently than Walmart. My goal was to have the Super Treasure Hunt for A, B, C, and D Case before the end of 2020. I found…

Most Hot Wheels Collectors are dedicated to finding Super Treasure Hunts. People often ask, how can you tell what is a Super? I’m going to provide some examples so you can see how they Supers stand out in the crowd. In 2012, Supers stopped being premium versions of regular T-Hunts and became Super Secret Treasure…
Welcome to 2020. It’s January, and this month has definitely exemplified how January is the worst time of the year for diecast collecting, wrestling figures, and the toy department in general. Bare shelves and pegs everywhere you turn, as the stores recover from the mania of Christmas time. January is inventory time, and department reset…
Since 2013, there has been a sub series of cars that is exclusively at Walmart known as Hot Wheels zamacs. ZAMAC is an acronym for the Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium, and Copper alloy that Hot Wheels and other die-cast toy cars are made from (cast). A ZAMAC car is basically an unpainted car and/or base. These…
