Robot Man Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 I of course, got a couple Treasure Hunts. But what was truly amazing is I got THREE yes THREE Super Treasure Hunts! I have only found 3 in two years looking. Almost always none. As near as I can tell, they got 5 boxes and I scored the best of them. My best day EVER. Kind of like finding a box of GA at the flea market. (No, not even close) but amazing. I’m stoked and my daughter who has only found one will be wetting her pants. For those of you who don’t know, it is that little “TH” on the sides and the special paint. There is usually one in every 10-12 boxes. What are the odds of finding 3 in 5 boxes? Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket today! Shazbot, ADAMANTIUM and Dave2739 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest one has gotton some but I’ve been late to the party. One closest to me has gotton none in 2 months. Too bad because I figured when they got pallets and they would let me go through them. Grocery stores have been pretty steady but they are all about 2-3 cases behind. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 Found a new cool one at the grocery store yesterday morning. So much fun for a buck! oldmilwaukee6er and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) Major score today! Wandered into Target with my wife this morning and decided to check the Hot Wheels isle. My eyes popped out when I saw 5 new Q cases on the cart! I was the only one there. I have rarely been first on a new shipment and NEVER this many. I carefully picked the first box of one of each all the cars my daughter wanted. Then I went through the rest. Last box had this beautiful Super Treasure Hunt Camaro! Just as I was finishing another guy showed up. He was a nice guy so I gave him one of the Mustang TH cars. Good thing I was first because he was cleaning out multiples of all the hot cars. Sure was fun! Edited November 7, 2022 by Robot Man oldmilwaukee6er and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not one of those crazy addicts who have a route and drive from store to store. I hit the grocery store early mostly one day a week. I hit Targets when I’m in the area. All the Supers I got were when stores got multiple cases and I was luckily to be first on. Always a fun score when it happens. Hopefuly, your luck changes!

Robot Man Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 Here’s something for you Hot Wheel hounds to be on the lookout for… Best Buy has a promo for a special mail in car. There are 4 BB exclusive cars as well. An orange Porsche, a white McLaren, a red Honda and this one. Each store gets 2 36 count boxes of these. Includes the white Suburu regular case N TH and if you are REAL lucky, a Super. I have only found 2 and have an extra red Honda to trade for the other 2 I’m missing… ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 2 new boxes at the grocery store this morning. My first of the year. Got the VW bus and TH for me and my daughter.

fastballspecial Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 My co-worker collects for his grandson. He is going to Walmarts and flea markets all over the place looking for hot wheels. He can say its for the grandson, but I know he loves to do it. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisp Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) I have been still grabbing a few Hot Wheels here and there as I see ones I like. My wall that I set up is almost full. Edited April 1, 2023 by whisp ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a “gear head”. She has a Boss 302 Mustang and her husband has a ‘69 Z-28. I do have to say, I occasionally pick up one here and there for myself. It’s all about the thrill of the hunt. And the rush you get when you are first on a new stock. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
