Oh man this is SO useful. As a Canadian hw collector that watches tip videos from American collectors, I was so confused about the cases for so long. Thank you!!
WOW! talk about getting technical I've been collecting Hot Wheels for the longest time and I never understood what those numbers meant but this video was a real eye opener Thank you so much now I'm going to look at all 1,394 of my cars to look at the numbers 😆 lol really great video bro when it comes to hobbies never stop learning👍⭐🤖
Thank you for the this! Very helpful! I assumed the cases were released in alphabetical order but wasn’t for sure so I appreciate you clearing that up! I just started collecting last month and am already on the hunt for treasures. Zero luck so far but it’s still fun.
Very helpful video, I learned many new things. I'm just a newbie Hotwheels collector, well I used to buy Hotwheels in maybe around 2015 or even lower, its so disappointing and sad though that I lost many old Hotwheels, only some are left behind and there could possibly be some hidden in our house, some are given to strangers, some are trashed by my Father since he hates me playing with toys or buying them. I can't really do much in those times as I'm still young, I'm 13 by now and turning 14 this year. I still continue collecting Hotwheels even in the middle of pandemic, I usually buy 1 and sometimes 2 if I liked them. I'm using the allowance of my Father, he didn't know I was doing this though. If he ever knew this, surely I'm dead. Anyways, great video and you got a like from me :)
This is awesome! I’m very new to this and recently found my sealed cards from about 15-17 years ago. I’m interested to look into them more with this knowledge. Very cool video thank you!
WOW! Thanks For The Info!! I'm Currently Going Through My Son's Hot Wheels from the 80's to Present. Its #5, 5-Gallon Totes, of New In Package & Loose Hot Wheels filled to the Top of each Tote, also includes Hot Wheels Tracks & Playsets & Cases, New & Used. Now trying to Put them On eBay!!
Wow that’s awesome! Hope you find some good stuff. Ps. If you feel so obligated to give me one of the valuable ones because I helped you find them I will gladly except😃😃 😂 jkjk
New collector... found my very first treasure hunt car the other day at Walmart. Was so excited. Also found two error card cars (wrong car in the card).
Such a helpful video. So, what letters would be present before 2008? or do they state the year. In the matter of case letters, like H case, what is the reasoning or purpose of this? Thanks mate.
I have lots of 🔥 wheels without the date method since some of mine are from 90s. I did find a B 17 in my pile since I have a gap in collections from my 10 yr olds son collections and my now 2 yr olds son..but have acouple of messed up ones that belong to my 30 yr old son..am just glad I kept some!
I probably have tons more and I seem to have more from before 2008. I have one car that says D50 on it but the car has no name, 2 different hotwheels logos (1990s one and the current one), has mattel 1969 on it and it has some 80s lookin wheels on it A27 - ‘71 Plymouth GTX A35 - covelight A42 - nitro scorcher A49 - mega duty (colour changing one) A52- 1957 chevy (colour changing)
Wow amazing I have been finding a video like this you explaned all things appreciate a lot. And I subscribed you cause your videos are brilliant!!😃I am out from US but I usually get international cards that have " it's not the same without the flame" Pls explain it 😉
thanks for the information and pls try to come up with the next two versions of cards. that is now u we're talking about blue card the base version. next with the coloured version and the third with rubber tyres. hope u understood. i don't know how to explain more than this. pls
This was of GREAT help my friend! One last question that I don't seem to find the answer 🤔😕 for. *** What month of the year do the boxes 📦 become available? Some channels say Sep/ Oct of the previous year, some say Jan/Feb of the present year. I'm confused 😕
Hi Why are the international long cards not guaranteed for life? Also what do the 2 numbers and letter mean in front of the G? Do the last two letters ever indicate whether there will be a TH or super TH in the box? Thanks so much for your time.
I have a question. As a Canadian, I can’t tell what case the car is from by the back of the card, since I’m international, so, how can I find the box that tells what case it is in stores like.. Walmart ?
@Yachtls The "I" and "O" are omitted from the case letter coding process for what seem like avoiding mixups between capital letter "I" and number "1" and also capital letter "O" and number "0" My question is related to this. When you went over the 3 digit stamped code on the bottom of the cars, beginning in 2008, the chart that you put on the screen omitted the letter "I" just as the cases are marked. Is that how Hot Wheels/Mattel does this also or was this a possible mistake because of being used to not usually factoring the letters "I" and "O" into the Hot Wheels equation? Yours went from H--2015 (NO "I") to J--2016. And to continue with where your chart stopped would it skip the letter "O" and go from N--2020 (NO "O") to P--2021, and so on? I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered by you or anyone else. Thank you sir!
My question is about hotwheels 50th anniversary Disney movie cars. The 2 numbers printed on the front of the card on the right bottom are differnt when it's the same car. Like 2 snow white cars on the card are 2 differnt numbers?
I have a 2011 Muscle Mania 11 69' Dodge Coronet Super Bee that has the L2593 above the UPC, but does not say "guaranteed for life" anywhere on the card. This car was a Target exclusive that includes 2 "car bands", a blue rubber band and a red rubber band that are underneath the car in the blister and used to propel the car in some way. So why the difference in packaging if this is a USA only version? Maybe something to do with the included car bands? I am not a collector but for some reason (probably because it's a kick ass Mopar) I purchased this car and never opened it.
Where can I get the information, which car is assigned to which letter? So in which "case" do I will find my favourite hot wheel, for example the "Hot Wired" for 2022? Thanks for helping.
@ojasraman I don't know about historically but currently Hot Wheels are being made in a quantity of 250 per set, per year. In your example, the 155/250 would mean that the 155 is Hot Wheels car #155 of the total set of 250 cars for whatever year and set that car is a part of. Does that make sense?
thanks for the info i’m newbie here.. my question is i found a 94 Audi Avant RS2 was listed to Super treasure hunt and has 10/10 so guys is always ok to collect them all if there is in one store we see?
Okay so my hotwheels card has Asst. BFM60 and says proof of purchase with no other number also at the top where the hook is it says BFM70-K912(G1) -with 1L right below the BFM70- as far as I paid attention you didn’t mention anything about these please help also is it good for my car to have M01 underneath
Underneath those numbers, you should see some lettering that name the series that car is in! For example, factory, fresh, glow, wheels, X, racers, and a variety of more. In each of these series there are a limited number of cars if you have one out of 10 that means you have the first out of the 10 in the series if you have five out of 10 you have the fifth car out of 10 in the series.
So all the hot wheels are categorized under certain categories. For instance, then and now, the one out of 10 represents one out of 10 cars in that category. Another one is the factory fresh category whatever car you pick up, let's say four out of 10, is the fourth car out of 10 in the factory fresh category
