Hot Wheels Treasure Huts - My TIPS and ADVICE on how I find them! // Hunting for special Hot Wheels

How I am able to find Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts and Super Treasure Hunts.
I list off several tips, hacks and ideas on how you can find them in the wild and just hanging on pegs.
I spent several years never finding any Treasure Hunts! Once I started doing a little bit of research, figuring out the cases and when they get released... I was soon rewarded!
This is what I do to find them and they will work for you as well!
I typically keep two, one to open, display and race and one to keep in the card.
I trade or give the others away.

Just turned 17 and I’ve recently started interest in collecting hot wheels. I’ve always played them when I was a little kid but I’ve been getting the urge to go to the hot wheels section in target’s, Walmart’s, etc. every time I go now. God knows how many good cars I’ve missed on buying over the years lol.

It’s the same with me I’m 15 but I’ve been playing with hot wheels since I was a little kid. I didn’t know much about hot wheels but I knew that if the cars had a different color from the original they were rare . So I’d managed to pick up an Acura NSX super treasure hunt when I was about 10. It’s still my favorite hot wheel til this day.

The purple truck? Even though you see it. It may be a normal mainline because the Treasure hunt one has a face on it but the normal mainline just has the menu thats why you have to keep a close look out for the details

I typically don't but I hear what you are saying. In my area Treasure Hunts get scooped up almost immediately. I'm actually very lucky to find any nowadays. Also, most people will only trade TH for TH so I grab one to trade, I keep one in the card and I open one to touch and race.

Thanks for commenting. No one really knows the circulation numbers of STH and TH. In 1996 they claimed to release 25,000 of them. Who really knows now!? What I do know is that it is common to find 1-2 TH in a case of 72. STH are way more rare than that… I’ve been through dozens of fresh cases and never found one… then one day I found 2 in 4 cases. Pure luck! Happy hunting.

The normal Treasure Hunts have a TH on the car somewhere and the Super Treasure Hunts have STH and typically have a metallic paint job and rubber wheels. There is a list of cars for both. They key to finding them it to quickly identify what is/could be on the peg or on the bins.

If there are no treasure hunts or super treasure hunts it’s just a box of regular mainline cars... worth what ever the peg price is. Unfortunately, these boxes have multiples of the same car so people don’t usually buy “5” of the same generic mainline car.

Thanks for you comments. I typically don’t grab multiples for myself. I usually try to find two. One to keep in the card and one to open. I’m my area, collectors tend to trade rather than buy so the multiples are typically are for my collector friends. It helps to have a network. Cheers.

Thanks for your comment. I recommend just collect what you like. Make a set of a certain cars. Like All Honda or all VW. You can also collect your favorite car or the first car you had... things like that. Just purchasing/collecting all the Mainlines is another option but not something I would recommend. The set will never be worth what you paid for it unless you stumble across errors a some rare ones. Collecting Treasure Hunts is another possibility but that requires more effort and doing your homework. Just have fun!

It’s really hard to say what is going on. Where I live some stores are months behind other stores. I think it has to do with distribution and head office. Some stores will not open new cases until the old cases are sold. I’m not privy on how Hotwheels distributes their cases or how they do their production runs.

When is comes to collecting some people just look for rare or hard to find HW, others collect what they like and previous cars they once owned. I have a large VW collection since I owned a few. Example, if you are into Ford mustangs… find and collect all the various ones that have been released rather than just random HW’s.

For me it's easier to just buy it online from the jerk scalpers. These guys have nothing better to do than to ruin it for the true collectors out there that DON'T want to turn around and sell a $1 car for $50-$200. Those guys live in their parents basements still there's absolutely NO doubt. Anyway, I have been a true collector since the early 80's and have NEVER found a STH or TH out in the wild. I probably spent triple in fuel/time/wear and tear on my vehicle going to multiple stores trying to find them. My advice would be to just buy them online. 👍

I seem to have better luck at Dollorama and Toy-r-us. For me, Walmart is typically a bust.

If you are looking for jdm cars and stuff like that all I’m going to say is those are most likely taken before they are put out by the employees

I don’t think you are wrong there. I’ve had store staff tell me, don’t bother looking. You are a little late. All the “good ones” are gone.

You can. From Hotwheels themselves, it’s tough because many people are doing the same thing. Other sources, you will pay a premium. I enjoy the hunt… the thrill of the chase.

I believe some do… or they hold them for people. I’ve gone into a store before and the clerk said to me “there are a couple good one in there”. So, she knew what is going on. Cheers.

That is very true. This is part of the reason I don't go out of my way to hunt them down as much as I use to. If I'm in a particular store for other reasons, I will have a quick look to see if the shelves have been freshly stocked. Cheers.

It can be hard… took me a while to figure things out (hence this tips video) there is a list of TH and STH. Study the list, keep it on your phone or print it out and start looking. It helps if you find freshly stocked stores that haven’t been picked yet.

I was just like you. I had a Huge HW poster with all the treasure hunts. Never found one for years and years. Had no idea on how or where to look. Wasn’t until recently that I was enlighten. Just sharing my knowledge. Hope you eventually find one. It’s actually a thrill to find your first few in the wild.
