Are they more rare or something? Nice finds though

 

yep, Super Treasure Hunts are rare....they're very limited runs and they have special paint and rubber wheels. But, they are hidden and they cost the same as regular Hotwheels. 89 cents to $1.07 but they are worth anywhere from $20-90 Dollars.

Taken from Yahoo Answers....
"Mattel took the Super Treasure Hunt Series for 2012 and moved it from the Treasure Hunt (Green Stripe) series into the Mainline collector series. So no green stripe, just T Hunt Treatment ie Spectra-flame paint/real rider tires of the regular cars. Super Treasure Hunts are considered Hidden T Hunts, and now can be part of any of the standard series. Idea is scalpers can't just come in and buy up the green stripes, they now have to look through the pegs for the individual cars, takes a lot longer, hopefully not worth their time, and that gives guys like you a chance to find them.

For examples, check ebay - search for 2012 super treasure hunt - there's side by side listings so you can see the difference of a regular car and the Super car. First few out are in the blue stripe muscle mania series."

 

So some they make a regular version with plastic wheels & treasure hunt versions with rubber wheels? That what I get from that?

 

Correct, however, the regular plastic wheeled, normal paint version isn't considered a Treasure Hunt...it's just a normal car. It is the best way for Hotwheels to hide them from Scalpers (ie. people/store employees who just find them and turn around and sell them only for profit).

 

That's pretty cool. I think I seen a few of the regulars the other night! I didn't know that! But I'll now keep a look out!

 

The Regular Treasure Hunts, what are plastic wheeled, but completely different castings as the $upers still have a GREEN stripe.

These are the cars that have $uper versions

 

Do you have a legit side by side of the same car of what is and isn't? Lol that oughta clear it up lol

 

LOL...yeah, my picture of the Chevelle Wagons shows the regular version out of the card (not a Treasure Hunt). The Packaged one has rubber wheels, different special paint, different art on the card and that is the $uper Treasure Hunt.

Here is the list and pics of the Regular Green striped card Treasure Hunts.

 

I see the difference on the wagons now

 

Cool, glad I could help another collector.

 

Now I just gotta find some myself

 

Picked these up in the past few days. The Red '87 GT was made by Remco as Coke promotion, picked it up at a local antique store, the trailer and '93 Cobra was found at Wal-Mart.

 

I need to look harder next time I go

 

Nice Skip!!

 

Found these recently.






Window variation...Earlier runs had the clearer windows...newer ones are tinted...check which you guys found...this was stamped E17 on the base.




Flamed Mustang family.

 

Did u have to buy a set to get blue one with flames?

 

Sure did, the Heat Fleet Set. It is in stores everywhere currently. It's been out for almost a year now.

 

I thought so. I've seen it a few times. My cousin has one of those sets he found a while back that's all mustangs that I wish I'd gotten.

 

I love those Mustang Packs. I hope Hotwheels does one for the 50th Anniversary.

 

if they dont ill be sad, that multicolored mach 1 is sweet too
