As a beginner collector I really appreciate videos like this. I'm trying to learn everything I can and in turn teach others.
I have started collecting about 2 weeks ago and I am realizing that there are people who go sit and wait for new boxes to be opened and then raid all of the special cars. Or better yet they open 15 boxes right in the middle of walmart looking for rare cars. What chance does that give me? I have a full time job and am doing this for fun.
@@zack8819dude i went to Best Buy just for fun and this older dude sat in front of Funko pops and hot wheels and until both tubs were empty and then still checked them all as he put them back one by one sitting on the floor in a public store. Yeah people go a little beyond to get the better kinds cars just keep looking you never know when the weirdos will miss one.sadly
@@zack8819i started like two weeks ago as well. And totally agree with you, i still hunt for TH and STH as everyone does. But in the end i just look for the ones i like. I got myself a wishlist from the ones i see on the internet and those are the ones i focus on. Just enjoying die-casting of fun interesting cars. Sure it would be nice to catch a box but these guys make 520 million cars a year, pretty sure i can get myself a couple of cool ones hahaha
@@zack8819 there's several Walmarts near me in one that's a super Walmart and every time I go to where all the real Casa the place is a mess! I always speak with people that work there and they tell me that they have guys thrown out sometimes they fight with each other, over Hot Wheel cars!😂
Literally me now
Thanks for the info. I saw a guy a Wally mart yesterday and started talking to him for about a half hour about the cars, he customizes them, I collect Corvettes. While we were there a few other guys checked out some cars, we were all in our 50's and 60's. 😎😂
Yep , I over 53 - been collecting for years- not as much as I used to- LOL
Definitely appreciate this video, I've always wondered how in the world people scan through all of the cars so quickly and know what theyre looking for.
Hi, begginer collector here. THIS IS SO USEFULL. honestly. i didnt even know that they say "congratulations ...." so ty for posting this 😊😊
This video was a great help! I found it overwhelming going through racks of cars but now I know to search for specific cars! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you and best of luck! I hope you find some treasure hunts! 🙌🏻
Thanks for being so straightforward and not wasting time
This is good to know! I have the Mad Props plane and didn't even know it was a treasure hunt. Opened it for my son haha
A friend of mine gave me two cardboard boxes, full of matchbox cars and hot wheels that were still in the cases that he got to clean out. Your video was super helpful because I apparently have a boatload of treasure hunts so thank you very much I liked and I will subscribe.
very informative! thanks a lot from India. After a hiatus of 2.5 years, we finally started getting hotwheels here. Continuing the collection now.
Thanks for this video! I didn’t know how to do this before! 🚗
wow, i didn't know that . great video Shawn . Thank you for sharing
You bet, I’m glad I could help!
Love this I have a 4 yo son so I'm constantly in the hot wheels section and I just recently learned about this and I had no idea they were Marked! Now the toy section might be a little more fun! 😂
I just went to Walmart and because of your tips, I scored my first ever Treasure Hunt… the Ducati 1199 Panigale! Thanks!!!
That is awesome! Congrats!!
That is one of my favorite RTH's. Nice!
I got my son that ducati how do I know if it's a treasure hunt?
@@Guda88 look for the flame logo behind the car (on the package) or look for the flame logo on the car itself
@@Creative_YT I try to buy two of everyone atleast if I can one to save and one for my 3 year old to play with. I only found one of the 1199 Panigale which I gave my son and it is a treasure hunt. I'm looking through ones I kept in packaging and I just found a rise N climb treasure hunt which I also gave my son so we have 2 of those.
I’m new to collecting hot wheels and this video is so educational. Thank you I’m learning from the best .
These are very helpful tips!! Thank you!!!!
Going on my first hunt tomorrow. There are 16 Dollar Tree/Family Dollars a mile from my house in all directions.
I’m outside Atlanta and it’s like the Walmarts and Targets around me leave empty pegs on purpose 🤦🏻♂️
Me too. Can’t find much, but did get a sick Mazda rx7 and Miata premium 2 pack today
Try being in los Angeles
been out da game for some years just recently jumped back in and found this video super helpful in today's time of hotwheels hunting liked & subscribed😎
Thank you! Welcome back!
Love it! I had no idea about these!
Thank you! Keep an eye out next time you’re at the store 👀
Thank you bro! Very informative, keep it up
Wow! What a video! Never knew those 3 things now I feel so dumb I rarely like videos I’m def going to like this one
Loving the channel bro!! New subscribers here! 👍👍😎😎😎🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥 great tips on treasure hunts!
Thank you, lots of new content coming shortly! 🙌🏻
Just watched your video and went to the dollar store and found a 98 Subaru Impreza 22B - STI version. Nice information now I know what to kind of look for. Now I got a look over my 800 other ones I’ve already gotten in the last years
Congrats on the find! Best of luck with you hunt and that’s a lot of cars!
How do you store all those 800 cars?
@@Anonymous-pw7bo I use boxes for doubles and the walls for the ones I display, or the kitchen island... NGL single life is kinda nice.
Thanks! Very informative & to the point! 😊
Thank you! 🙌🏻
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar!
Thanks man, this helps a lot.
Just started collecting today Thanks your content is Gold !
I love it, my friend you do a good job. Looks like you got quite a few hot wheels.
Thank you! 😎
I was in Aldi today and they had quite a few treasure hunt buses from the 2024 collection.
Your information is useful for me as a beginner👍. I am form Indonesia
Need to check my cars but I believe I may have some of these. I don’t think my stores raid their boxes or at least it does not seem so. I will definitely be checking this out!
THANK YOU for helping me realize I found a treasure hunt too I got the 58 impala
Congratulations! Thank you!

Thank you so much as a collector of hotwheels I never knew that there was such thing Thankyou very much I never knew that there was a difference to hotwheels cars I thought they were all the same until you made the video Thankyou very much now I am more aware of the hotwheels currently hunting for them 😀 😊 ☺️ 😄 🙂 😁 😀 😊 ☺️ 😄 🙂 😁
4:20 in Portugal only the first code appears, so we never know each Hot Wheels from which case they are
Nice hot wheels full collection room
You just earned a new subscriber🤩🤩🤩🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
Welcome aboard! Thank you!
Thanks. I quit collecting for the last 15 years and boy things have changed.
What are the various names and numbers called, ie, 85/250 is the main collectors number; what is the number 4/5 in the middle right called; what is the name on the side right called, ie. Experimotors; and what is the name of the car bottom of package called, ie. HW Braille Racer - Twin Mill; finally, what does the Special Feature attribute mean
Me and my collated hotwheels loved the video Thanks for the good information I will watch more of your videos thanks very much bro
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
I have a question about Hot Wheels? I noticed that there are Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts that have two flames (doubleflame 🔥🔥) on the car and others with just one flame. It depends on where the flames are located. Models with only one flame usually have it at the back or on top of the roof. I noticed that the models with two flames are somehow much rarer from Hot Wheels than the ones with just one flame (With two flame, is not the same!???). For example the 58 Impala or 47 Chevy Fleetline, these have the flame on the left and right (i.e. two). I haven't looked at the TH yet. I'm surprised no collector has thought or talked about it yet. It should actually be similar with the TH on the Super T.? Please take a look at your Hot Wheels. What does it look like there?..Checked again, the ones with a flame might be rarer?
Thank you very much for your help! 😊
Ive seen guys looking at Walmart and hogging the isle. I say "You know theres nothing there and the chases are all gone". Also the case opening/pull trick is oldest in the book!
i worked retail and these people are the worst and makes working a living hell, i make the whole hw collection tidy and and these people come in knock it all down and make it a mess which takes 10 mins to tidy again and says “have you lot got any in the back, i know you lot hid some” like we give af bout this shit, we’re here to sell to you and then after your done tidying it again, another comes and repeat.
Where do you get the box?
Got outta collecting treasures once they took it off the card but I have a granddaughter now so let’s give it a try thanks for your advice
Hello, I'm looking for 3 miniature cars that I had as a child, which I think were from Hot Wheels, I'll describe them: 1 - A white "monster" style car with a skull using the United States flag as a bandana in the paint. 2 - A very simple green vintage style car. 3 - A red car with yellowed windows (this is the one I have the least memories of).
Love this man 🤘🏼
appreciate it man,thanks for the info,btw im a beginner.i like to collect all jdm cars.when im going to a supermarket or mall i dont know how to confirm that the hotwheels is treasure hunt.now i know thanks again man.i like your videos,subscribe this channel guysss
Great vid
Thank you!
Hi Shawn. Great video. Do all the Treasure Hunts say congratulations on them? Or do some just have a logo flame behind the car? Keep these great videos coming.
The international cards will just have the grey flame logo. The US cards will have the congratulations on it. The supers always have a gold flame on the card. I hope that helps and happy hunting!
@@ShawnNicklausYeah but your not explaining to new collectors that the SUPER TREASURE HUNT cars are not in every case. WHY?
nice video dude. i apreciate that.😃
No problem! 👍🏻
I just found out that I have a "Winning Formula™" from 2014 in my collection.
I have a hard time finding these as I am not in the USA anymore- thanks for the tips but I doubt it will be outside of the USA - the challenge is these cars are each starting at $3.00 so tripple the cost
I understand the difficulty of finding them outside of the US but you never know, keep looking!
Keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍 👌 💪 😉
Shawn you said only low Production runs have the flame inside the Circle I have a couple Dodge vans that have that emblem on them but it doesn't say anything about a treasure hunt.
Hi Shawn, Thank you for your informative video. I just have a quick question. I just started collecting and I bought the exact same low rider treasure hunt that's in your video. The one thing I noticed is the rivets that hold the car together are missing. Would that add or subtract from the value of the car? Thanks, Terry
Thanks
You are awsome man❤
When did they change to the low print symbol used to just say Treasure Hunt on them
I collect hot wheels and I been collecting hot wheels ever since I was a kid
This helped me
awesome.God bless.
None of the shops restock here bruh, they still selling 2021 & 2022 stuff 😭
Also I will say that not all treasure hunts have the words on the back of the car. So I would say look for the silver low production symbol on the card instead, since all treasure hunts have that in common
How do you follow delivery dates at stores? We are so new to collecting, but having tons of fun.
where did you buy f
the display cabinet at your back?
Great videos, very informative.. I see how you can tell what letter is on the case. But how can you be sure what year it is? Is it possible that a store may still have 2022 or others? Thanks!
Yes, it is possible a store can have older cases that they haven’t brought out. I actually found a 2022 M case treasure hunt yesterday on the store pegs. The Hw warp speeder. Pretty cool!
@@ShawnNicklaus thanks for the reply! So what part of the numbers or letters tell you the year? Is it either on the outside of the case or on an individual card? Thanks again!
@@st2su it will say on the side of the case which Mix it is and also on the back of the blister card. You want to look for the first letter on the second half of the code. For example GRX93-M9C0G this code is part of the M Mix. I hope this helps!
i have a question?? can it be made any car model? or are there are specific types of cars that they make (some reg and some treasure). or some line of cars don’t have any type of treasure.
Are the short card monster trucks worth anything? I'm a new collector and don't know much about them
I got like 4 regular treasure hunt this evening but only beg 1 . I don’t know if it’s gonna sell
Ps the stores I go to dont have the boxes out
Thanks again for sharing
In 2018, there were Regular Treasure Hunts with re-colors for some reason.
Thank you. 🏎💨
That’s funny because I got a hover deLorean that is 9/10 108/250 and it’s a 2019 with blue windows and it’s does not have a TH or a metallic paint it only has Pp-T on the back and the people who are selling them on eBay do have them but when mention Pp-t I was like is it rare or not but it probably is not
I have some of those with the treasure hunt logo but congratulations line is not there😢
Sweet 👍
does this method work for international series? or only US?
Do they sell these in Canada too?
Also....become friends with the employees that stock the die cast cars on the pegs. If you can find out what day of the week the employees stock the shelves, it will make it much easier to find Treasure Hunts and Super Treasure Hunt cars. Just remember... The shelves are usually stocked early in the morning!
Great video thanks for the info I have two of those Mustang wild ponies I did not know it was a treasure hunt and I took one out of the box what's the difference in the price value of one in the box and out of the box if anybody knows
I would estimate the wild ponies would be worth $5 in the package and $2-3 out of the package. Congrats!
@@ShawnNicklaus oh nice thanks for the info so I guess collecting them would just be more for fun then how would you make any amount of money if you put your time and your effort in your gas I always go just do the dollar store and find my cars
Is this similar in Canada?
thank you
Just got the Aint fare today
I found a TH fiat… should I sell or is it something that goes up in value over time?
I have a few of these treasure hunts I collected years ago. How much are they worth overall?
So i started diecast collection 4 to 5 days ago and i bought 10 for somewhere like 6 to 7 bucks and i am offered 20 for 15 bucks. Recommend me if i should buy
I know this a year old post but I'll ask anyway; how can you translate/determine a case when it ends in that weird C5 code? I guess it's an int item but how can I now quickly turn that into a US equivalent?
How do you get a full case like this
I currently own a total of 36 Treasure Hunts and I'll be doing a special Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts Tournament soon.
I found Raijin Express. Not the best car, but still a treasure hunt. I will gift it to my friend who is collecting HW cars
I found two in one go I like it cause it my first treasure hunt find!
Hey bro I'm a new Hot wheel collector and I was just wondering if I find a misprint card is that worth
ty!
Great video
Thank you!
What are they worth?
I just got a Miata T H I think because it has the little flame behind the car on the package but it doesn’t say congratulations
So would I only look for 2024 on the web site know?
