Continuing a tradition from 2021 and 2020, here is my annual ranking of the Hot Wheels Regular Treasure Hunts. As always, it’s a mixed bag of quality and interest with these. However, the rarity on these have increased, with more “dud” cases showing up with no Hunts at all. Previously, you could generally count on…
A pleasant surprise today, as a check in on Target resulted in the arrival of 2021 L case. A collector buddy told me he checked his Target and there was L case there. I checked my nearest two Targets with no luck, as part of my routine. A helpful stock update email arrived at 11:00am,…

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…
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…
