2:45 nice one with the Ford RS "Hulk" Escort. I had almost given up on that until today. Found not just one but TWO of them in a Poundland in Newcastle Eldon Square. Was happy enough with the one, until I realised there was another hiding away. 6:51 Got very lucky while here in the North of England. Walking around the Morrisons supermarket near my Dad & there on a clip strip, a long card R33 Skyline with "Godzilla" livery. These are not easy to come by I gather. A little tip....The F&F "Women of Fast" models are interesting, as both the blue RX8 & red Stingray have metal bases & maybe worth a look.
Hey man! How’s it going? Appreciate the support and thanks always for leaving an awesome comment too. For the longest time that green escort evaded me. I guess with everyone going crazy over the STH version the mainline was being bought up too. I’m still yet to find women of fast in stores and I’ve seen a lot of other UK collectors talking about it being in their local B&M but alas only Decades of fast on repeat for me near London. Hopefully I can score that Porsche from WOF but yes it’s always nice when silver series castings have a metal base. Looking forward to getting my hands on Vintage Race Club mix 2 when that release drops. Congrats on the skyline find. I’m not sure where my local Morrisons is I’ll have to check but that is a really good one to find as a long card too! Nice 👍
On watching this 😂 Iv just when to Aldi , b and m, Asda , tk maxx , Sainsbury and halford and found nothing…. lol b and m 10 packs were ok but most of the cars were not for me. I did get the Ford anglia and the cosworth premium two pack in the post today.
Oh nice man! Mate your comment made me really laugh a lot. Sorry to hear you only took home your own car with a lot less fuel inside of it 😂 fffs!! Need to hit Amazon Japan and score those fords man. Thanks for reminding me. Appreciate. Hope you enjoyed the vid and thanks for making me laugh too. Legend 🚗💨
Fantastic hunt! I went to about 16 locations yesterday in the southeastern US. Nowhere near the luck you had -- but you deserve it considering how many you left for other collectors. Extremely envious of those Boulevard Skylines. You should consider snagging some Mustangs in the future. 😀The FNF and Falken ones you found are two of my favorite recent releases. Great video, as always!
Super happy you enjoyed this one bro. Thank you so much for the support! I wanted to make this video to show other collectors that you can find hot wheels in some unlikely places… but you’re right. I ended up getting pretty lucky along the way and found nearly all of the most recent mainlines that I wanted to add to my collection. You’ll be pleased to learn that you’ll be seeing that boss mustang and other versions in my next video. I did order the three cars you need to complete the latest FNF set too. I’m definitely a Ford mustang fan for sure. You have to be to buy the jay lenos collector display set just for the Shelby and the Ford GT like I did lol. How often would you say you’re out hunting a month? I would like to make another video about hunting in the future for sure. Wish you luck always for your next treasure hunts 🚗💨
@@customcollectsGreat recommendation - believe it or not I actually cracked my Jay Leno’s Garage set after watching a few of your videos. That Ford GT in black and red is just sinister. The Mustang GT350R has some solid details. I can’t believe that Porsche set is a shelf warmer in your region. I’ve been looking all over for it! I usually go on extensive hunts twice a month. There are tons of collectors around me so it’s usually very hit or miss, but I still find the occasional gem. Can’t wait to see what you have in store!
Thanks man. Couldn’t agree more that hunting is very hit or miss. The annoying thing is that if you were to hit a store every day for a couple of weeks you’d be likely to find some great things. Just time and being able to invest more time into hunting. Good work opening your collectors display. They can be great value and have some awesome exclusive cars too. People sleep on them for sure. Trying to find an excuse to open one of my BMW collector displays in another video too. lol. Always a pleasure chatting with you mate. See you in the next one 🚗💨
Appreciate the support as I had a lot of fun making this one for sure! I definitely need to book a trip over to the U.S. and I’ll make sure to pack a couple of empty suitcases too. Which stores near you do you think are the luckiest? Thank you very much for the kind words and for taking the time to leave a comment too. You’re the best 🚗💨
Ah no way! 100+ for 20 cars is super hectic dude. Which country are you in? I’m still upset that the UK doesn’t get premium 2 packs. Have you looked on Amazon Japan to see if it’s worth picking up anything on there for you? If you add about 10 things to your basket it might make sense for you. Wish you good luck the next time you’re out hunting for hot wheels mate. Appreciate the insight and for the support too 🚗💨
Haha! Beat me to it! I knew which one you spotted too. How are you today dude? Any good hot wheels around where you are? Would you have been happy to find all of those 20 cars for yourself? Hope you enjoyed the vid bro 👊
@@customcollects Hehe, I knew you would know which car I'm talking about and yes, once again, a great video, you hit that special spot how you present your cars. That subtle mix of calmness yet the enthusiasms shines through;. I'm doing well, thank you! Hope you're doing well - and it seems so after your lovely hunt. Here we have Smyth's but in general it's very disappointing going on a hunt (when I have time to do so). I do like your Liberty Walk find. Brilliant car and you made a great haul (*envy*) I would've taken home as well. I have the mainlines and would love to add the premiums, however we don't getthe same choice, amount and variety of cars here. But maybe that's me....
@@manoman0 thanks man. Your kind words mean a lot to me. You’ve made my day. I do try my best to get out there and have a look in 2 - 3 of those places 1-2 a week. Depends what jobs I’ve been sent out to complete. If I’m using my car then I’m looking for cars haha! I wouldn’t mind finding that Fiat Team Transport but we haven’t had that mix drop yet. Keeps a close eye on some websites too. I think everyone would be pleasantly surprised if they went hunting for hot wheels even just for 14 days in a row. I know it’s a lot of time to spend but no matter what time of day. Not always first thing in the morning. Stores refresh hot wheels stock all throughout the day. Some of my best finds have been in the afternoon for sure. What about you? 🚗💨
Maybe it’s a sign that your local store might start selling them mate as I really don’t think Aldi had hot wheels in the UK a few years ago. Those random floating blue cardboard boxes are new for sure. Hopefully they’ll start showing up for you dude. Always gotta keep hunting 🫡🚗💨👊
Nice man! I’m coming to Australia then to get myself some HALF PRICE hot wheels! Heck yeah! Dude you know the UK is so so expensive. If you think Hot Wheels cost a lot here you should check out some of our house prices 😂 appreciate the comment mate. I really enjoy the prices of these toys from around the world. Makes me realise a lot. Have you seen that BMW in store near you yet?
@@markryan8344won’t be much longer. You can see within the community all of the social media posts are about the cars from this video or similar. Wish you good luck when those castings drop. Make sure you grab two 👍
Nice!! I got some of the G Case cars saved for me! Got the Jaguar and BMW Wagon too, plus the Hirohata Merc and the TH! I got my hands on the Silvia too! Got the whole case at a Toys R' Us, super lucky!
Congratz! Really pleased you got those cars when they dropped man. Super lucky you got hooked up to. That’s amazing. How often do you go out hunting for hot wheels? I wanna see what stores are like tomorrow. I will just say I need to run errands and have a look in some other stores too lol! The only other time I scored a Silvia was from a sealed case that an employee was just about to put out. Took the box home with me too. Hope you enjoyed the vid mate and thanks always for dropping awesome comments. You’re the best 🚗💨🙌
Thanks man! Really appreciate you dropping this awesome comment. And yeah! For sure! I’m not even “acting” or staging anything. I want my videos just to be real life from a long time collector who cares about the Diecast community. If I like something a lot I might buy 2 or 3. But that golden civic eBay listing I showed in the video. WHY are people like that lol. So annoying. If I find anything decent I have already I just put it back in a good spot for another collector. How often do you get to go out hunting yourself? It’s very true that staff make sure a lot of TH and STH stay in the stockroom before leaving the store with staff discount applied just to twist the knife haha! I haven’t found a STH this year and I’m not sure if I will. UK stock size too small in store compared to the US. Wish you a great weekend mate. Thanks again for making my day. You’re the best 🚗💨
@@customcollects hey dude, I get to hunt most days going to n from work, I pass lots of supermarkets daily and hit couple a of toystores and the BnMs etc weekly...never any STHs, the odd TH but rarely lately . I'm looking for the mainline green mk2 escort...again haha I gifted it to a mate and regret it daily! haha, also the metallic green TH version but jeez they're rare now. I'm considering buying cases every month and ebaying the ones I don't want at Aldi prices...that'll piss the resellers off eh! hahaha Back to work tomorrow so I'll be passing 3 sainsburys, 3 aldis, 2 big tescos and maybe a cheeky peek in smyths if need owt from wickes eh ;) Happy hunting bud, catch ya later!
Hello mate. How’s it going? You know what. I did originally want to film inside my local entertainer but very recently they have taken all of the premiums away and no more team transport either. It’s not the biggest store and although I know it shouldn’t matter, but the truth is that the store has a lot of employees that you just know are checking all the sealed cases in the stockroom first before any cars even hit their “table” haha. So unfortunately I just avoid the entertainer near me. Which is a massive shame. They even take the more desirable mainlines so you’re lucky dude that your entertainer isn’t an inside job like mine. Appreciate the comment and the support too. Wish you good luck for your next hot wheels hunt and I hope you enjoyed and liked this video. Cheers 🚗💨
My local smyths has all the premiums behind the counter . It’s so annoying. Also, they seem to have 2023 cases 🤨. Need that jag and bmw . Got and seen the r30 . Got it from the entertainer. Asda website was the first place I saw the Sliva Boulevard. Not seen it in store
Behind the counter!! Oh mate that’s so hectic and super awkward. I hope they at least have some new releases that make it worth the struggle. 100% keep your eye out for the BMW and the Jag. Don’t pay the 8.99 people want for those on eBay right now. I’ve found after years of collecting that in the long run… What you’re looking for the most eventually finds you 👍 hope you enjoyed the vid and thanks for the support 🚗💨
That Jaguar is Sweet . I love ol'skool JagZ is it a RHD • RIGHT Hand Drive ? thankx for info on the Jaguar details as Custom Collects mention ASK multi people in a Store But also be polite courteous + say Thankx = if also u often see a Person in section department Show Give them Readon to be Helpful to you • I know it's not your responsibility to Clean up Tidy up AREAS But If time Repeg Cars StraightN up areas WORKERS many times will see this And PUT into the Group of KOOL respectful SHOPPERS that don't cone Rallye through Cars Cases in destructive and Makin a mess ~~
@@coldpopcarl cold pop Carl. What’s good bro? Thanks for the best comments mate. You’re a good man making sure you help to be a shining example of a hot wheels collector. I know that most staff hate us and will say “hot wheels collectors are crazy” Yes sir! The jag mark 1 is a right hand drive casting 👍 a very beautiful one for sure. How often do you get to hunt inside stores mate? Wish you a great day my friend. Cheers to cold pop! 🚗💨

Hello! How’s it going? I did actually go out again yesterday and went back to most of these spots and I was thinking to myself “well, I’m super happy that I didn’t try and film on this day!” 😂 sometimes you get lucky and other days you find nothing. Hopefully I can find a Fiat Team Transport out in the wild. I would really like to add that one to my collection for sure. Thanks for the comment and for the support. Appreciate you 🚗💨
that Porsche collectors set being a shelf warmer pains me 😩 Been wanting it for absolutely ages for the 917 LH and more importantly the yellow 911 R, but it STILL hasn’t been stocked in ANY of the 7 Smyth’s stores across Northern Ireland yet Seems that my local store may have just stocked the new F&F premium set with the red Toyota Soarer and blue Silvia S15 though, so I’m heading up there first thing in the morning and hopefully I’ll be able to bag the ones I’m after 🤞🏻 UPDATE: Managed to bag two Soarers, the blue/orange S15, the white Mustang Boss 302, the new Plymouth AAR Cuda and Olio Fiat 131 Abarth Team Transport sets, and a cheeky mainline Proton Saga for hood measure 😁
Hey man! NICE I’m just back from a trip out to the stores myself (Grocery run 😜) picked up an amazing 10 pack the one with the HT2000GTX exclusive and the black and gold 911. I’m sure you know the one. Decided the Pontiac Aztek Custom is a grab too. You got some perfect 2024 pieces for your collection bro. Super lucky to find the Fiat TT I’m still on the look out for mine. Don’t want to pay more than 17.99 as eBay wants £25+ now. Scalpers. I also got the full set of F&F. You will be seeing them all in my next upload. Need to get myself on the computer and start editing. Hope you’ll be back to watch it. Definitely agree man that the Porsche collectors display is a must have and I just think most collectors don’t like the transporter and that prices them out. They’re missing out big time for sure. Thanks for the update and for this comment too. It truly made my day! Thanks so much 💨🚗👊
Hey man! Thanks for the super kind and great comment. You have great English too. I went hunting for hot wheels another day and I thought to myself “very happy I didn’t film today” I found nothing! I hope that in the future you can find more of the hot wheels that you are looking for. Make sure you check out my “Amazon Japan” video. Maybe it can help you? Wish you much luck and thanks so much for stopping by the video. I appreciate you 🚗💨👍
damn hope they had stocks like that here, here in the Philippines the reason why we cant get cars like that or “rare” cars here is because of merchandiser’s here hide them, the one’s working on the stores hide them for them to sell it for a much higher price online🙁 nice cars!
Hello mate. How’s things? When did you last go out hunting for hot wheels yourself? Dude, for real. Inside that very Smyths Toys I showed in the video I’ve stood there and listened to an employee tell a new staff in training. Right in front of me. If they see a black premium car (talking about a chase) then buy it with your staff discount and sell it on eBay 🥲🤦🏻 so I’m not surprised about your story but also I’m sorry dude that you can’t even find “desirable” mainlines. That’s the worst of all! I have never found a super treasure hunt in that Smyths toys and it’s because I know 100% that those cars never even leave the stockroom! And that’s the truth. I hope you can find some of the cars that you’re looking for in the future my friend. And maybe you should save up and treat yourself to a sealed case of 72 cars. Always fun to open one of those! Thanks always for the good chats man. Wish you a really great day too 🚗💨
@@customcollects last time i went hunting for hot wheels was probably a week ago, when I found out that thats what they do , i dont rlly check stores like toy r us, toy kindom so often now, sometimes i only go to 7/11’s here but there are only a few 7/11 branches that has hotwheels here, i only check them out online, but the price they sell it for is like triple the regular price🥲 just have to be lucky on looking for a nice car here💀
Have a look online as maybe you know more websites that will ship to your country. If ordering from USA the postage will cost a lot but it depends how much you want it. You can try this website my friend and maybe email them to ask for an estimate for a sealed case. GranaToys.com ….. always check prices so that you can better understand if the product is right for you. Hope this helps you fellow Diecast collector 🚗💨 thanks for the great replies. Very nice chatting with you
Come to Indonesian, only in big mall you can find much hotwheels 😂 if u in small city like me, we just have store like seven eleven and only have less than 10 pcs reguler / store 😅
I would love to visit beautiful Indonesia 🇮🇩 and yes, sorry to hear in your small city that you can not find all of the hot wheels that you are looking for. Make sure you watch my Amazon Japan video and also try looking for things on AliExpress as well. I hope this helps you to keep growing your Diecast collection brother. Appreciate the comment and support. Hope you enjoyed and like the video too. Wish you a really great day my friend 🚗💨
Btw your magic spell for subscribing ...works. see, ive been collecting for 3 months and ive been relentless...yet no sth. Yet last week i came across my first sth, the gold bmw 507. My least favourite but im not complaining. Anyway my point being this good fortune happened within days of subbing. ❤ 👍 cheers.
Thanks so much man for writing this! Ever since creating my channel I was waiting for the day that one of my subscribers would write me a comment to say that subscribing to my channel manifested a $TH! Woo hoo! Congratz man. And I can tell you that the BMW 507 was meant to be as I am a huge self confessed BMW fan. Best cars and that cars I drive in real life too. That’s amazing man. Please know that this comment won’t be forgotten as time soon! I’m super happy for you 🚗💨🙌
@customcollects btw hope you don't mind but I've posted a yt short on my extremely modest channel show casing the bmw super treasure hunt I found...titled "custom collects sub magic works".
@@PaisleyKing-zv3kn this really made my day bro! Thank you so so much and I hope you enjoy the super! A BMW too. The best brand! Can’t believe it happened like this. Unforgettable mate. Cheers to you 🤝🙏
Have you managed to find the Pontiac Aztec Custom yet? And if so, where was it from? I’ve been hunting for it but haven’t had any luck yet 😅 Love that casting!
Bro, no way! You’re trolling me haha!! That’s insane. For fun… I thought to myself “hey, I kinda remember seeing that Pontiac in Matalan.” AND LOOK. There it is 08:02 in the video. 2nd row down 4th car in from the left. No way!!! lol 😂
@@OverlorddX best of luck finding it! Now that you’re talking about it that really makes me want to take a closer look at one the next time I see it. Might have to scoop one up too just for the good memories. Thanks for highlighting that car mate and for making my day too. That was soooo super funny 😜 can’t believe it
I have 2 and will open one in a video when the time is right… stay tuned! 🙌 I hope you can find a Jetta soon bro to add into your collection. The premium version is a work of art too 🤍🚗💨
Hey Jon! Hope you’re good mate. Thanks for the support. A good question! I must say 90-95% of the time I will show up to my Smyths Toys first thing in the morning and it’s just me going to the hot wheels. I won’t visit on weekends though as that’s a very busy time of course. If I do ever see another collector though I will saw hello and always epic and nice chats with other friendly collectors. I’ve never seen or been a part of a fight 😂 hope you’re good man. How often do you get to hit the stores where you are? Wish you a great day friend 🚗💨
honestly you cant get a "rare" hot wheels by just running around town the only thing considered RARE is a car only have 5,000 or less made of the casting but finding RTH or mainlines arent going to get you thousands of dollars
I was just happy to find that BMW! I’ll be picking up another one the next time I spot one out in the wild. Appreciate the support and hope you enjoyed the video too. Wish you a great day 🚗💨
i swear to god the bloody beetle th is gonna haunt me i missed it today after picking it up and then putting it back down its going to haunt me for the rest of my hotwhels days
Haha! I don't normally buy treasure hunts as they are mostly fantasy or also slightly ugly "cars" but the red beetle is a great VW and I picked one up when it was released. Wish I could go back to the video man and snag that one and just send it to you! I would happily do it to for another collector. I know you will "hate" me even more but today I found my first super treasure hunt for 2024! Finally!! I will make a video about it in the future. Hope you'll be back to watch it. Wish you much luck dude with the red beetle! You will find it one day! Keep on hunting brother 🚗💨
Hello mate. Yes, I do know when my local Smyths are “likely” to receive delivery for new stock. Because I ask. The next time you’re in store find an employee or two that looks knowledgable and ask them when something new you’re looking for might come into stock. Then just casually and politely ask when they have noticed Hot Wheels being delivered to their store. Hope this helps bro. Hope you enjoyed the video too. Wish you a great day 🚗💨
You’re very kind mate. Much appreciated. Super happy you enjoyed the vid. Wish you the best of luck for the nest time you’re out hunting for treasure mate 🚗💨
Thank you very much for your support and kindness. I really appreciate the time you took to leave a comment. Wish you a great day and I am very pleased you enjoyed the video 🚗💨 you’re the best
