We can't put Hot Wheels on "Top Stock" (Over stock) at our Walmart. It gets torn down, trashed, and left on the floor by scumbag "collectors" who only care about themselves. I'm also not a collector, but i do watch the videos to know what these clowns are going to be looking for when they raid the store at 6am everyday. Store Policy says we can't crack the case in the back room and take cars out, so i stock it, make a note of whats a "treasure hunt" and then go buy it off the pegs on my last break which is at 5 am. A full hour before the store opens and these guys come in. While they are all out there, trashing the shelves, i walk by as obvious as possible with a friend or coworker commenting on the cars i bought and found . Some of these asshats actually follow me out the store being nice asking if i can have some of the haul. Once they find out that i'm not bowing down to their BS then the childish name calling comes out, and you get to see these "collectors" true colors. I was once talking to a real collector (not a scalper) who has down syndrome and gets to the store once a week with his parents, and when he does come in of course everything has been rifled through and trashed, and that's who i give these cars to at the end of the week. I deliver them right to his house. A big box of nothing but "Super Teasure Hunts" "Treasure Hunts" and whatnot. Hand delivered. His parents offer me money, i turn it away. Just knowing i'm making him happy and screwing over the Hot Wheels "collecting community" is payment enough for me.
Wow! Ultra stoked for the homie with special needs. Gonna pin this comment and see what others think. Thanks for following protocol. All fair in war and HW. LOL
Maaaaan that’s a whole lotta awesomeness right there!! 👊😎 Quite a few sweet pieces that I would definitely be interested in! Loving this walk through! 🏆🏁🏎️💨
The further east you go, it's pretty bad. I don't hunt anymore. But I do follow the hobby, that's why I watch your videos. Instead of the West being 3 hours behind, it's the east that's weeks or months behind when it comes to the stocking of diecast - any brand. I envy you guys west of the Mississippi. You saw and talked to a fellow collector. Few and far between in KY. You can always tell where some, should I say, "collectors" have trod. That's what it looks like after. If I do hunt, I'm there to get something else. Keep enjoying the hobby. Take care of yourself. Peace and safe travels to Alabama.
Welcome to Illinois man ! you're only 3 hours south of me . We have some of the oldest peg stock in the mid west ! 🤣 I've not seen much of the new matchboxs lately other than that new convert set and the lonely 75 green convert Caddy which I grabbed. Someone took all but the Caddy in my store. They have been sending us mostly older HWs and MBs and a new case here and there. I did see the new HW Tera Tech truck set , well what was left of it as the Nissan I want was gone and only the gladiator and one other was left. Of course tons of sellers have the complete sets online already (which I checked). Tuesdays are usually my Targets new HW/MB days and they've been slacking. I have to agree with you on the dump bins , I'll just waste a couple minutes if that as most are usually OLD , either early 2024s or a ton of 2023s. I haven't seen any of the HW Transformers in my area yet nor even the mainline Bumblebee . I also do see a bunch of the Bullers Taxi and not sure theres other castings coming from that set. If I see the Marty Skate I'll grab one for you as last week I did see the Transformer Skates and guessing we should see the Marty soon.As always Walter , thanks for sharing your trip with the wonderful views on the highway and in the sky even ! and most importantly whats out there in the diecast world on the pegs . Have a great trip !
Great hunting with you Walter and some stunning backdrop scenery on the road. Huge huge thank you for sending the Alfa Romeo and Land Rover red editions to Naz for me. It really means a lot. Thank you Walter.🤗🤗🇺🇲🇬🇧
🎉❤hey G and Abbey (Oso Jackson dogs)! Sending prayers while traveling and full peg vibes to both of you as being diecast collectors.Great hinting video G I hope to find that white '69 Datonya charger.I'm sharing your videos to collector friends peace!
Dude, I'm doing the same thing in Georgia, I found 3 STH the Audi, got the celero gt and Volvo gasser, and about 30 other mainlines. Got to open a sealed N case 1st sealed all yr.
@@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 Yup no doubt bro and man you said that you peg hunted in Illinois I'm born and raised in Chicago but now I'm in Texas it's hard out chea to find good castings
If youre looking for the Optimus with the trailer hauler set that goes on the track check the transformers toys area at Target. Found mine about a month ago in the transformers aisle. Had 5. I took one for me and one for a friend.
@amazingcars1324 yes, I'm aware, and an example of why we all should do more research, and not just take what us content creators say. In my case... I'm just a collector, not an all knowing of all things diecast. Hence the reason I appreciate when you, or others share your intellectual property. 😉
@@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 you know Birmingham Alabama is I'm 100 something away just put in Hamilton or Russellville Walmart address and drive from there until you hit Spruce pine and get to hackelburg

Would like that red Beemer Wagon 😊

Thought we weren't calling it hunting anymore...😂😂😂
@solohunter777 personally I'm good. That was for those who need it. I never complain about not finding this or that, or resellers, etc.
@@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 Tru dat, hunt on brudda👊🏿💪🏿👀

Ayyy! Sounds like the hobby has been good to ya. Congratulations
Chase would be G10 van or DeSoto muscle car for the M2 Machines newest diorama cars hitting Walmart stores.
Not sure why the Mercedes hauler is being left behind but I gladly picked one up today. 👌
It's a super cool castings all around
Lucky to see different stuff at all here, those Forza cars are shelf-warming and stopping more Pop Culture cars in my area...
Buy em, and stimulate the inventory
@@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 Wish I could lol. Thank you for the videos! It's cool info even though I'm a casual collector.
That’s a lot of stores. The most I get to do is two.Gene can’t get out a lot bad knees.
I hope my knees last
I need one of those lucky premiums.... still haven't seen them here yet.

Yoo Walter great peg hunting videos awesome castings on the road trip out there🎉🎉
We live in a beautiful country
@@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 Yup no doubt bro and man you said that you peg hunted in Illinois I'm born and raised in Chicago but now I'm in Texas it's hard out chea to find good castings
Not me yelling at the screen “go back” at the 42:20 stamp because I see the Pink Slips Impala I can’t seem to find. ( beat the scalpers to) 😂 Guh!
I'm going to grab this one just in case
Who won the guessing the amount on the hunt?
If youre looking for the Optimus with the trailer hauler set that goes on the track check the transformers toys area at Target. Found mine about a month ago in the transformers aisle. Had 5. I took one for me and one for a friend.
Copy that! Thanks!
It's convertible set.
Delorean DMC treasure hunt is from N case not M case.
Optimus is usually found with Transformers stuff, in my local stores anyway. Looking in wrong place dude. Hope this helps.
The hot wheels one? I'll definitely look next time
That 101-105 boulevard set is unobtanium around here.
Dang. Let me know if ya need some help
@@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 Thanks for the offer, I have the local diecast shop looking for a set for me.
Did you hear Hot Wheels cancelled the Ford Mustang GT in the transformers set? Another channel mentioned that in a quick video.
Thanks for always looking to correct me where I make mistakes. The mustang was not cancelled. It was pulled from the shelves. I have one
@@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 The channel that mentioned it was mustang hunter diecast by the way.

@@thehotlineofdiecast.7623 I agree with that. We should take it with a grain of salt. I'm not sure what it would mean for this situation.
Wudnt mind finding the bre set🤞🏿
2025 is the Super in Purple
