I hustle everyday. So naturally I tend to find more than most. I found the dually with trailer and 57 Chevy 250 raw a few months back. I sold it for the unbelievable price of over $400. The other day I had the pleasure of finding 6 Porsche premium chases out of 8 race day cases. And two weeks ago in one day I found one Supra Super and two Datsun 510 wagon supers. In my experience, those are usually the top three sellers. I throw most on auction and let collectors decide what they want to pay. I can’t afford to collect much, so I get thrills from hunting. It was a very informative video, and I look forward to seeing more competition in the future because of it. The more people that get interested in the hobby inflates the price of collectibles. And that makes the wife happy…keep on hustling brother.
I hustle because I’m disabled without disability. I hustle every day to pay the bills, to pay for meds. You call me a scalper. I call myself a survivor. Do you need a tissue crybaby?
Do you still make a profit after factoring in gas, wear on car, and the time spent chasing that could have been spent working? How much per hour are you making?
All the super chases are super hard to find especially when you have to compete with employees and the collectors/resellers who have said employees on their payroll, but when you collect to collect and you find one of them it’s SUPER SATISFYING knowing you beat them to it lol
Oh yeah, talking about the employees getting pretty much first dibs, I went in to a Target store once and there were 2 cases on a cart that an employee had and they hadn't made it to the hot wheels section yet. I went all the way to the HW section and it was almost all wiped out, so I back to the employee and asked if I could open them and have a look, they said sure no problem. I opened the first case to my luck a super TH was in the box, sweet right....I close the box and turned to get the second one, the manager had taken it bcuz he seen me score and probably got butt hurt. So now every time I go there if I see him, I give him the evil eye stare as I walk by
If the people that are "ONLY" looking for supers are collectors....wrong terminology. They aren't collectors, they're scalpers. Those of us who collect collect others as well, and we can't get supers cause they're already gone from the scalpers. I'm not saying I'm just saying.
Someone else already pointed out that Greenlight isn't part of Round 2. Greenlight also has multiple types of chases, there are the regular "Green Machines" with the green rims and chassis, as seen in this video, but there are also Green Body Green Machines, and Greenlight is another company that does very rare Raw chases, like AutoWorld. Plus, you also have store-exclusive Greenlight chases, Blue chases for Walmart with blue rims and chassis and Red chases for Target with red tires. I've passed on several regular Greenlight Green Machines before since the green rims and chassis aren't enough if I'm not already interested in the car, but I've bought every single Green Body Green Machine that I've ever seen in stores. All one of them, and it was a good one too, the '67 Chevrolet Impala Sport Sedan from Supernatural. I've never found a raw Greenlight chase and I'm not sure if we even get the store-exclusive Greenlight chases in Canada. I've never seen a blue chase at Walmart and we didn't even have Target in Canada long enough for me to find a red chase there.
This is so cool! the prices of these chase pieces are crazy on ebay and if you ever found one in the wild i bet it would feel so good. I have distanced myself from collecting lately due to financial problems so unfortunately im missing out on a lot of banger releases hot wheels is doing
Awesome Video 👍I quit hunting in 2020, but I did manage to find a few (6) sths in the wild in the 5 years I was looking. Quick story: I had not found anything in forever when I was digging around on the upper shelf at wm and I accidentally dropped a case of Hot Wheels on my head and when I was picking up the mess Wow there was the green Skyline r34 STH 😻. Funny enough I never found the regular of it though lol. I think the M2s have some really cool vintage car castings but some are not so great that's for sure.
Awesome video man. Hot wheels makes the Tony hawk skateboards now and they also have treasure hunts which are easier to find since not everyone is into skateboarding lol
I thought the M on the matchbox was a chase car and found several very easy and left some behind, but not now. Been picking up the limited editions too. Been picking up HOTWHEELS treasure hunt and super treasure hunt cars. I'm selective on M2 and Muscle Machines but they both have the build number on them. Now my wife will be happy I'm looking for more cars now. Lol
Great review👏,I gotta be honest I feel the same about most the chase pieces. I'm definitely much more interested in the hotwheels chase pieces now than supers anymore😮💨maybe it's the metal base🤷♂️.Love that supra raw!😍
Yea just my honest opinion from the last few years of collection. Supers are what drive my collection, everything else just follows in line…. Thanks appreciate the comment!
I hustle almost every day I go to 5 stores minimum and on weekends go to the flea market. I’ve found 1 super treasure and a few regular TH I’ve concluded that there’s no way that hunters can find so many STH unless they have connection.😂
I have a huge die cast collection👀including my childhood collection of the first 60redlines,🛞Racing Champions very first 6 cars(flat bottoms);Autographed premiere editions all the drivers and cars 1/64,1/32,1/24 scale from 90-99,and the Best pieces in my Collection are the 25 Super Treasure hunt cars that I have Caught in the Wild through the years! Including the latest edition the Datsun Bluebird Wagon (510), the Audi R8 and the 84 Mustang SVO, 69 Shelby GT 500 and the Renault, plus many others, but my favorite is my 2020 Shelby GT 500🏁ThePuziCatCollection
I try to collect Ramchargers Race Team cars, etc. I ordered the 65 D100 and trailer from Auto World and apparently they were out of stock. So instead of refunding my money, they sent me Tow & Go 2010 Toyota FJ and trailer White Lightning!?? I couldn't find it on eBay to see what it's worth but similar WL Tow & Go's go for around $40- $70. I paid $13. It's cool but I would have preferred the Ramchargers set. I guess I'll have to trade it at the next Toy Fair.
Most I ever find are regular treasure hunts and target red edition lol supers you basically gotta compete with employees and the people who just wait for them to be restocking or they’ll even ask
I see the RUclipsrs who have no couth and ask to open cases. Where I live it's a crime-ridden city, so our Wal-Mart's only sell Action Force, and then I see the Floridaman (my phone auto played one of his videos. These crybaby manchildren are surrounded by 1,000s of Hot Wheels and constantly complain that the store is lame and they're disappointed. And I'm watching the video wishing I could grab the blue Barbie 'Vette by his armpit or the Fleetline by his bunghole. I haven't even seen the pink Barbie 'Vette, and I live in the city that just hosted an F1 race!
I found an M2 SQUAREBODY chase. Wanted to leave it, but figured I’d pick it up for someone I’m friends with that has some thing to trade or want to buy for 75-150
Nice video bro, I just had to comment on the types like M2 Machines, with the chase pieces being 250, 500, and 750 pieces world wide sure makes them pretty rare. But the regular models having 5, 6, or 7000 pieces made, that's still really not that many when compared to how many people there are in the world, kinda makes them a little bit rare to if you ask me. Idk just some food for thought
Everyone has there own opinions however they don't just do drink brands and they have the best detail in the market and tires I mean alot of classic cars were installed with thin tires wish they would do more JDM tho
Hi, also Mr. Imai worked for Hot Wheels 14years(He should get his Props*) doing a lot of JDM and even the square body truck. Thanks -Smith 'Hot Wheels guy'Die cast Bham Al
The real question is how much money does a collector have to spend on gas before they realize they just paid twenty bucks for a dollar car they can't give away?
For hot wheels, the regular treasure hunts have a small flame simbol and writing behind the car. Super treasure hunts have a symbol behind the car and say HT on the car
Bravo!! You actually said “casting “ instead of “cast” many times in this video! Still won’t subscribe until you stop saying it altogether. Sorry,, lol
If Racing Champions starts selling ugly old Japanese cars I'm going to throw all of my HW in the garbage and quit the hobby. Fast and Furious is to blame.
I can tell you have not looked very deep into that comment, yes there are duds but there are (some) that are freakin awesome i.e. something cool and different to collect@@DieCashCars

Thanks for sharing, way to keep it real bro 👍
I read scalper. If you don't collect, why do you hustle after this stuff?
I hustle because I’m disabled without disability. I hustle every day to pay the bills, to pay for meds. You call me a scalper. I call myself a survivor. Do you need a tissue crybaby?
💯
Do you still make a profit after factoring in gas, wear on car, and the time spent chasing that could have been spent working? How much per hour are you making?

Abso-Freakin-lutely!
What I wanna know is how to tell which regular cars are worth money or are gonna be.. but I guess there is know way to know
Oh yeah, talking about the employees getting pretty much first dibs, I went in to a Target store once and there were 2 cases on a cart that an employee had and they hadn't made it to the hot wheels section yet. I went all the way to the HW section and it was almost all wiped out, so I back to the employee and asked if I could open them and have a look, they said sure no problem.

I am new to the hobby, and you really thought a lot. Thank you for your videos, and I had subscribed and gave a thumbs up. Keep posting my friend.
Appreciate it! Glad to be of help!
Thank you for sharing
You bet?
Your correct about Greenlight. Certain Green machines are worth little something. 😊
I love M2, they do quality work.
I just went to 3 local stores and found 6 treasure hunts - 1 Drift, 4 White Ducati crotch rocket, and a tooned VW
7:49 GreenLight is NOT a part of the Round 2 family. Do your research. Round 2 quality is one of the best for price point!
seriously, I heard that TWICE in the video and it discounted this guy as any sort of expert in diecast collecting.
M2 chases, don't bring the💲that you'd think. Imagine, a Hot Wheels, limited to 250 peices! 🤑🤑🤑👌
I really do wish that Mattel released something like this.
I have no interest in "premiums" or Jay Leno.

Awesome breakdown... Didn't realize the obsession to chase went way past THs and STHs! 😮
Yea there’s a ton to hunt for, keeps you in your toes!
Just found 2 pirche 935 supers and 2 toyota altezza premium chases my best finds all year this year
Big score! Nice
Chase hype.
Great informative vid. But hunting chase cars is super hard. Requires a lot of work and knowledge.
I remember finding a chrome #88 Racing Champions Dale Jarrett Ford at a Winn Dixie for like .99cents was a Chrome Chase car......1995.
This is so cool! the prices of these chase pieces are crazy on ebay and if you ever found one in the wild i bet it would feel so good. I have distanced myself from collecting lately due to financial problems so unfortunately im missing out on a lot of banger releases hot wheels is doing
Never too late to get back into it when your ready 👍
agreed, got to get my priorities straight haha@@DieCashCars

Ha cool story, was meant to be!
Thanks for sharing 👍
You forgot Tarmac. I would add that in the middle somewhere.
Excellent video btw, very informative. definitely learned a lot
Appreciate it!
Awesome video man. Hot wheels makes the Tony hawk skateboards now and they also have treasure hunts which are easier to find since not everyone is into skateboarding lol
What an awesome video, thanks for doing this.
If I find any chase car, it’s meant to be if not….just happy to have cool cars in the collection!
I GOT LUCKY AND FOUND A GOLD STRIKE AT HOBBY LOBBY YEARS AGO. I T WAS A BEL AIR.
Nice
I thought the M on the matchbox was a chase car and found several very easy and left some behind, but not now. Been picking up the limited editions too. Been picking up HOTWHEELS treasure hunt and super treasure hunt cars. I'm selective on M2 and Muscle Machines but they both have the build number on them. Now my wife will be happy I'm looking for more cars now. Lol
M2 looks awesome in the package. They have some of the best details, if you dont take them out. The raws sell for over 200 consistently too!
I found a racing champions 57 Chevy gold strikers without even knowing it was rare
Great review👏,I gotta be honest I feel the same about most the chase pieces. I'm definitely much more interested in the hotwheels chase pieces now than supers anymore😮💨maybe it's the metal base🤷♂️.Love that supra raw!😍

Wow that’s pretty cool they sent you a WL…I’m sure you could trade that for the Ramchargers plus some 👍. Thanks for sharing!

I found 5 of the matchbox Porsche. Only bought 2
Ugh, thanks for sending new scalpers to the other die cast brands I collect 🙃
I'm gna end up spending the cash for the liberty walk skyline, this will hurt, kind of
Hobby Lobby never has any NASCAR diecast in stock.
Ahh ok
I guess we are all entitled 😮
The Johnny Lightning Civic hatch is NOT an ek9. Lmao
Were u find comps to look up these cars u gots info please
On that King of Crunch 1974 F250, the Truck in the picture and the truck are 78 or 79. Pretty lazy of Greenlight!
First diecash cars
🙏👍
you should havee added in how to spot them
What is the 80’ Toyota Supra STH selling for?
The " old school " yellow 58 Chevy impala with the coca cola logo was the coolest to me except for the poorer quality . Sad .
Yea m2 is overrated
Kaido House is rare but also have to take into consideration that every case has a chase. So 1 out of 24 is a chase.
Hi, also Mr. Imai worked for Hot Wheels 14years(He should get his Props*) doing a lot of JDM and even the square body truck. Thanks -Smith 'Hot Wheels guy'Die cast Bham Al
The real question is how much money does a collector have to spend on gas before they realize they just paid twenty bucks for a dollar car they can't give away?
That's funny 90% chance when you find a case, more like 0% finding a case to open
Were do we list to sell on ebay
How u know if there treasure hunts are they marked on package
For hot wheels, the regular treasure hunts have a small flame simbol and writing behind the car. Super treasure hunts have a symbol behind the car and say HT on the car
You forgot Hot Wheels REDS at Target. Some of those hold great value.
Yup & hard to find!
love your collection that civic hmm love it thanks for sharing yours 💙
Auto world and M2 are the same
I found the Nissan Skyline Chase recently🎉. I have a video on it go check it out later.
Congrats
@@DieCashCars thanks
615 too many trucks
8:18 - 8:54: Most loathsome thing you've ever said. Buying it simply due to the intention to sell it - pretty disappointing.
Bravo!! You actually said “casting “ instead of “cast” many times in this video! Still won’t subscribe until you stop saying it altogether. Sorry,, lol
M2 is trash 🗑️
If Racing Champions starts selling ugly old Japanese cars I'm going to throw all of my HW in the garbage and quit the hobby. Fast and Furious is to blame.
Greenlight diecast features the worst wheels out of any other diecast brand. They just look terrible.
Yea I’ve noticed that too
And the wheel well gaps….YIKES!
I can tell you have not looked very deep into that comment, yes there are duds but there are (some) that are freakin awesome i.e. something cool and different to collect@@DieCashCars
