My area received a Tropical Storm warning today. So i took it as a sign to go hunting. Found the Audi Quattro STH, Draggin Wagon TH , Purple Passion TH and several different color waves of some really cool casts. Like the '77 Pontiac Firebird T/A and the '92 BMW M3 .... I guess the competition (scalpers) in my area are scared of a little rain. lol. 😂 It was silly to go out, I know, but we found a SOUUUUUP.... ✔️😂😂😂
Great vids and also digging the vibes! I wanted to ask how do you keep track of what you have I’m starting to notice that I’m buying doubles cause I forget what I already have. TIA👊🏽
The Covid pandemic really changed where I was able to acquire Hot Wheels. I don't have the entire 2020 Tokyo set. But the 5 or 6 I do have I found in Dollar Tree in 2021. I also found the entire 2020 Pearl and Chrome anniversary set (including the chase car) in Dollar Tree. I never find those special types of sets in the wild anymore. The supply chain backup changed things for the worse. I wonder if that's why I can walk into my local supermarket and see 10 shippers of cars that were issued in 2021and 2022 selling for $1 each as long as you buy them in multiples of 5.
Open them up if you know you can enjoy them more, especially aa you have a track. Im in uk and got a 10 pack with 3 exclusive coloured licenced cars . ...cream coloured nissan skyline 2000 gt-x with number 24 on doors. Green honda civic fk2 type r and white mclaren supercar . There was also the eg civic from early on this year also the womens day car and the autism flip car. Not opened my self as i not got track. I dont open my singles but think multipacks should be opened so you can see the cars fully. Might have to get a track set up myself
Afternoon Walter and Osso <-- Please let me know if I'm spelling his name right, I've always wondered. Cheers on another awesome video, great stuff. Stopped at Wal Mart after work today, and they finally got the Greddy Dioramas so I had to grab me one of those. Saw my first and ONLY Zamacs of the year so far - fantasy casting, the Czinger - still cool. I've been persistently out and about trying to get my hands on that new white Boneshaker TH, I'll letcha know! We love the Olympics in my family, big fans! I've got the Toyota AE-86 Corolla from the Tokyo Olympics 5 car set. Shout out to Suni Lee from MN - Womens All around Gymnastics Bronze Medalist!! Have a great day Walter and friends, be well. Full pegs!
Walter I wish I had as full of pegs as some of the stories you go through there was some really nice stuff there LOL I'm glad that you have access to some cool stuff so we can see it. The silver Porsches from ultra hots is definitely on my most wanted list. This year's yellow Corvette I just cannot stand the yellow rims they're so ugly. I bought a second one just so I could paint the rims black. I don't even know what to say about another super treasure you found LOL congratulations that's a good one
I hope I get lucky enough to get my hands on that super bus man. Yes definitely want treasure hunts I think there's a lot of cool castings they make I like the fact that they're a little bit more rare and sometimes I like those better than I like the super treasures. Actually got to do a little hunting a day as I went across town ended up with some good scores and some cars I was looking for. I got some pretty random stuff. I'm a loose collector if I wanted most of those cars and I didn't have them I would definitely open that 8pk. If I didn't need the cars I wouldn't open it. If I was a card collector I would not open it. Yeah I got a few cars from Tokyo Olympic set one of them is purple and one of them is dark green that's about all I remember lol
As far as HW TH go, I think they should have ie: 47 Chevy police car with the symbol and without the symbol. That way you can still find the non TH on the pegs.
Drag buses are nowhere as heavy as they used to be. The engine is plastic now, used to be diecast. Plus the base got redesigned to reduce metal as well. Finding cases, but they were looted before the were put out by pallet raiders. Did find a "Free Comic Day" Vandura by Greenlight at a comic store today.
Really enjoy the way you present different HW themes and sets! I'm not into those Olympic cars but it was still interesting to see them and learn a few things along the way. Thanks a lot!
I fell the TH is needed because it gives more of a chance to get something exclusive. The STH are so rare and random and the hobby had become a business for some and run roughshod on spots that make it a little rough for the hobbyist. Multi packs..let them fly!
I have a sort of weird multi-pack practice: I open them and then re-package the good ones in mainline cards. So for example, I've got a multi-pack exclusive recolor version of the Custom Volkswagon Beetle that I'm hoping Hot Wheels will soon release in the mainline as a single carded car. When I find it, I'll extract it, insert the multipack one, and then glue it all down again. I kind of like it when the actual car doesn't match the card art. Yeah, it's a strange thing to do, but I'm looking for small ways to continue to enjoy the hobby. I figure if the only thing that I'm satisfied with is supers, I will soon run out of interest due to lack of reinforcement.
Hey Walt. The multi packs imo are meant to be opened & they have been very fruitful lately but I haven't come across one that is entirely licensed models and if I did I would buy 2 if there was another one and open one/save one because of its rarity. Do you think this is something HWs will keep doing or is it a one & done thing?
Awesome finds congrats.👍 I got real lucky this week I found a whole bunch of new K and L case basic cars in short cards at one of my local grocery stores and at another grocery store i found some new basic cars including a couple of regular treasure hunts and check Aldi's grocery stores they're getting trays of hot wheels in and I found some there and I found at Target some new basic cars, the new ultra hots cars, some new car culture and pop culture vehicles including the teenage mutant ninja turtles Volkswagen drag bus and at dollar tree i found some basic cars and I got to bring home the floor display shipper and today at the flea market I found some older basic cars including a couple of zamacs and the twin mill ID chase car, i got the scooby doo racer verse car, i got a couple of new boulevards and one of them was the Nissan skyline GT-R BNR32, i got the 56th anniversary raijin express chase truck and I got the hot wheels legends tour event 1983 Chevy Silverado pickup truck.👍I definitely had a awesome week and weekend this week.👍
Didn't came across moving parts since at least 6 month in France and I will miss that Anglia for sure but since it is in the mainline, I'm fine with it, I bought the Lego Version a few months ago and woul appreciate to get a 1/64 die cast version rom Mattel. The Lotus Esprit S1/S2 in grey is a color exclusive I couldn't missed and didn't, since 2012 I collect all the HWS with that stock livery (not the others and made an exception only for the beautiful John Player & Sons commemorative edition). Purple will be the last official color to complete the bunch and I expect them to release the Essex livery version. Fully licenced 8 pack maybe might be good to keep unopened, at least for a moment.
