Collecting Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts has changed. Typically the regular Hunts were one per case, and were not highly sought after. This has been the case since 2013 when the hidden Super Treasure Hunt was introduced. Some collectors picked up “regulars” and others left them behind. In 2025, they’ve become as sought after as Zamacs,…
Starting in 2019, Mattel began releasing “Collector’s Edition” figures in the WWE Elite line. These figures are sometimes flashbacks/legends, sometimes a lesser known talent, sometimes a figure that could have easily held a main spot in the elite line. They are released with each elite wave, with the exclusive going back and forth between Walmart…
As seen on a previous post, the WCW Galoob line was a fun, but short lived series starting in 1991. These were a nice compliment to the WWF Hasbros, as they were the same size. The difference was that the Galoobs had no articulation, and were stuck in a specific pose. Still, they were fun…
I heard that Kroger was getting exclusives again, so it was on my mind when I made a quick grocery trip today. The Kroger I went to was just an average grocery trip because this store doesn’t usually have much for Hot Wheels. I spotted a cart of freight and there was a brand new…
Most Hot Wheels Collectors are dedicated to finding Super Treasure Hunts. People often ask, how can you tell what is a Super?

Walmart, Target, Kroger, Dollar General, and Best Buy had exclusive cars available this year. This is a checklist as well as my picks…
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…
The Hot Wheels Car Culture series is an adult collector-focused series that is all about different cultures or styles involving cars. All cars in the series feature Real Riders wheels, diecast bodies, and metal base. There are five cars per set, and usually four sets per year. Car Culture has a heavy emphasis on European and Japanese makes…
The Matchbox Target Red Edition series launched in 2023 features six red-deco cars and will continue in 2024 with additional models.
The WWF Hasbros are the figures that most of us remember growing up with. The LJNs before and Bone Crunching Actions came after, but the WWF Hasbros are the class of wrestling figures from the 90s. I’ve discussed Hasbros before, and since then, but I’ve never truly ranked them. The time has come, my personal…
