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,…
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,…
This is strictly my personal opinion, this has been a pretty good year for Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunts, and no fantasy castings yet again, which is always good news.

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…
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…
