It isn’t dump bin diving, but opening Hot Wheels factory sealed sets is fun too.

So what is it about the hunt? I know the answer, because I am a Hot Wheels collector, and I think I experience the same amount of joy that the rest of you do when I come across a Super.  I definitely didn't get into collecting because of Treasure Hunts, but I have learned to …

Lamley Awards Poll: What was the BEST and WORST Hot Wheels Super TH in 2017?

Ah, the Lamley Award category of all categories.  Nothing gets folks riled up like Super Treasure Hunts.  There are entire websites and social media accounts dedicated to them. They make grown men cry (and whine).  They can turn a bad day into a good day.  They turn kids into collectors.  They create friends and enemies. …

Super vs Super: 2018 Hot Wheels Porsche 934.5 and 2016 Porsche 993 GT2

The Super vs Super feature continues, with another obvious one.  I will try and get more clever on my pairings, and Porsche vs Porsche isn't clever. Both are Porsches (duh), but they are also racing cars, and sport interesting Real Rider wheels.  It is actually the wheels that made me feel like they were a …

One cool Por-SHUH Super Treasure Hunt this is, this Hot Wheels Porsche 934.5.

Por-SHUH.  Por-SHUH.  Por-SHUH.  Maybe I'll remember it better if I link it to "Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!"  Some of you will get that. I get grief for a lot of things, and my pronouncement of "Porsche" is near the top of the list.  I was defiant at first, as everyone I knew said "Porsche" as a …

Lamley $uper Showcase: Hot Wheels 2018 B Case ’68 Chevy Nova Super Treasure Hunt

Thanks to Mattel, I will be featuring all 15 Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunts this year.  The B and C Case Supers arrived last week, meaning the B Case feature is a little late with the Kmart cases hitting last week.  Nonetheless, here is the B Case Super to keep an eye out for as …

The first Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunt of 2018 is a great sign of things to come.

Showcasing the Supers here on Lamley will never be an unveiling.  The Super game remains strong, and that means hunger for info will continue to inspire leaks from the Hot Wheels factory. It's a bummer that news of new Supers usually comes from unfinished models shown in grainy photos.  The only thing I can do …

Kdays is here.  Tomorrow, what's left of the US Kmarts that aren't closed or liquidating will hold the Hot Wheels Collectors Event.  Others in the areas in the hurricane-affected areas will hold it on October 7th. That means there are not a lot of Kmarts out there holding the event.  A few years ago, there …
