[TheWarhawk16]

Lol I found that Baja Bug too!

[TheDodgeviper1999]

good thing you didn't walk away just a few seconds before

[hashrulsubzero]

I love the part where you found a Baja Bug.

[racegrooves]

@hashrulsubzero That was an awesome day! I was ready to walk out of the store and I seen it at the last moment. So I left it there and started filming from the corner as if I had just walked up on it.

[Hotshotmech38]

Goin here tomorrow well..... I'm going to Target,BigLots,WalMart,and ToysRUs lol

[4293172]

Nice Finds! I've never gotten 1 treasure hunt...... yet. I might go to Walmart tomorrow hope i find something cool

[racegrooves]

@4293172 Good luck!

[e144636]

@4293172 often times you just gotta be there early bro. And another hint, I've found Treasure hunts and Super TH in the registers. GL

[4293172]

@e144636 Thanks for the info and nice!!

[racegrooves]

@4293172 I posted on my Blog that Big Lots is getting Hot Wheels again! Good luck!

[4293172]

@racegrooves Cool And thanks ill have to go!

[MrFlightdeckfan]

What a good eyes you have!!!!!! I never knew Big Lots has t-hunts here.

[racegrooves]

@MrFlightdeckfan I was not expecting to find a Treasure Hunt in that mess! It was very cool!

[theDEELAW7887]

@MrFlightdeckfan what is the special about t hunt?

[racegrooves]

@theDEELAW7887 Hot Wheels has different series available. The Treasure Hunt Series has only one car per every four weeks. It is only one per case and it isn't in every case. While it is produced in smaller quantities than the regular cars, it is still produced in high quantities.

[gamer360100]

I'm going to wallgreens and big lots tommro to finish my hot wheel haul

[racegrooves]

@gamer360100 I wish you luck! 

[emccurnin]

you are in a HURRY!!

[racegrooves]

@emccurnin I was in a hurry, I was on my way to work!

[tailsrock1540]

in my big lots there are lots of treasure hunts

[diecastdiehards]

Im the MD area, we only have 1 count em ONE! Big lots, get hit by this obsessive collector that I know, he is crazy about hotwheels, very rude to, gives a bad name to collectors, anyway, he found 2 supers and 5 regs there, mostly the VW bugs like you found, I went there a couple days ago and found a reg bug :D, nice stuff though!

[racegrooves]

@diecastdiehards That means that Big Lots ordered TONS of these cases and they are still filtering through the stores. Congrats on your TH find!

[joe00alien]

Does anyone have any idea what the ratio is for Treasure Hunts and Trea$ure Hunts?

[racegrooves]

@joe00alien I have no idea and Mattel does not release production figures for TH's or Super TH's.

[gizamer]

@joe00alien very gd question id like to know too

[jlogano20]

hmm im going to bg

[racegrooves]

@jlogano20 Did you get a chance to check out Big Lots? My video was a month old but people are still reporting that Big Lots is still putting out the cases. Same assortment though.

[jlogano20]

@racegrooves yes went mine had nothing that much just a few hw no th's or anything

[ZOOMTHK]

mess at big lots



[racegrooves]

@ZOOMTHK That's Big Lots. It's always a mess LOL!

[racegrooves]

@unmarkedtrails I think that's my first one EVER at a Big Lots!

[nene213]

nice

[DaddyIvo]

Nice find racegrooves. There's a Big Lots in Manhattan. I might check it out one day.

[HarvestmanMan]

LOL "Check your Big Lots...and you never know what you might...oh."

[smutoys]

I've been checking my Big Lots the past few months. Never find any good HW there. I've heard some people finding good ones there, guess it depends on region. There's a lot of collectors here and they're always getting the good stuff before me I guess.

[racegrooves]

@smutoys I'm too busy to run around and hit up all the stores. Though it seems like I go a lot, I definitely make the time to try find stuff but I don't do the daily morning dash. I work overnights so I'm supposed to be asleep before 8:00 am. I was totally not expecting to find anything so I was pleasantly surprised. I may lose it though because it's kind of green and it's a slug bug. I can't let my daughter see it...

[Rcdriftnmore]

lucky

[123456hotwheels]

i think i saw another treasure hunt at the end of the video under the shelf that you found the baja bug.

[racegrooves]

@123456hotwheels Nah, I thoroughly checked each shelf, both endcaps, and another endcap that was put at the other end of that aisle. I only bought the TH an another Mystery Pink Passion.

[formulaonehotwheel]

Great score! I'll check my Big Lots tomorrow!

[racegrooves]

@formulaonehotwheel I wish you luck :) This video is from the South Pasadena location. I doubt that I will make it to any others.

[123456hotwheels]

i gotta go to big lots tomorrow!!

[racegrooves]

@123456hotwheels I wish you luck!

[z1546796]

[lllllll5s]

[racegrooves]

@lllllll5s I was so surprised to see it there! I didn't set this video up. It was RIGHT THERE! WooHoo!
