2 Q Cases, 2 Super Treasure Hunts! A Hot Wheels Christmas Miracle! #supertreasurehunt
How is this for a feel-good Christmas story!? Our local pharmacy received two Q cases of short card basics. They unpacked the first, hung the Q Case 83 Silverado Super Treasure Hunt on the front of the pegs and sent out some pictures to our local collectors' group. I was too late to catch that one, but they were replenishing the pegs from the second case and, would you ever believe it, out came a SECOND Super Treasure Hunt! This is completely unheard of, we hardly EVER see short card Supers, so 2 from 2 is unbelievable!

Was this trade WORTH it? What did I trade for?
That's the one I most want right now. I have a few of the regular but that STH square body Eludes me lol 🤣
@@ramen6959 yeah, I really wanted it as well, was seriously considering selling off other Supers to import one. So picking this up at peg price is a huge bonus! But keep faith, these really seem to be popping up regularly, this even proves it, so there’s sure to be plenty around.
Is there any benefit to complete set?
Yes, there are completion bonus cars, some cover a few series’ as they started releasing them late. Think this series will be a Lambo. No details yet. That’s the only reason to hang on to your Showroom exclusive.
@ thanks for the awesome info! Good to know! New to this, think I’m gonna pass until there’s a premium pack with no potential ‘weak car’ for me.
No problem. Yes, that was my worry this time too. Wanted the Audi more than the Zamac. But then, so did most other people, so that drives the prices on the marketplace.
What car is the NFTH?
The Ultra Rare Audi Avant RS2
I got the skyline from pricey pack just only one pack
Awesome, still worth it, I think. Doubt they would drop below $100 on the marketplace, unless undercut by desperate sellers.
I got the super rare skyline one pack bought.
That Skyline is the money shot! 💪
What site do u have to go what the name
The link is in the pinned comment or you can access both the drop sale page and the marketplace from creations.mattel.com
Mattel creations virtual
How do I get them because I want to buy for my cousin Ernie because he just started collecting hot wheels cars
Check out creations.mattel.com
Opened 7 standard packs and 2 premiums. Got 3x Cupras and 1 Charger zamac. Was only really in it for the skyline.....Livid. Skylines going for over 100 flow on the marketplace..... The cupras...20 Flow....
I actually caved at the last minute and bought some packs. Stick around for the video though :D
If you notice, and it is a slight but very important detail they are not promoting. It is no longer “NFT” Garage but “Virtual” garage. The blockchain is gone, and it is no longer “crypto” as it was before.
I thought the change was in name only, for legal or technical purposses. Since the Marketplace still runs on crypto, it looks and functions the same (in my experience with it, limited as it is). Will you be going for any packs or redeemables?
what difference does it make? Not trying to argue, just curious
@@icantdecideahandle Haha, no worries. To be honest, I have not seen much difference, not since they brought the project in house. That is also why I assumed it could be more legal than technical, since they ran the NFT Garage project in conjuntion with another platform, a third party. But honestly, the best place to ask is the NFT/Virtual Discord channel under the Mattel Creations server. It's fascinating how deep they dive into it.
Check out the Mattel page for all the info: creations.mattel.com/pages/virtual

I never find any Super chase Cars here in Atlantic Canada. But International cases are not the same as USA cases.
Yep. I think Supers and Super Chases are even more thinly distributed in the Intl Cases. Unfortunately.

@@maxnaidoo2152 I’ve been itching to reveal it all as well! 😅
Be sure to stick around for the next few videos, they'll be worth the wait! Thank sfor the continued support as well!
So, would you have done the trade? Would you have traded something else? Leave your comments below, would be awesome to hear from you.
The Prince is definitely still the star of the show imo. It may not have the popularity of the other cars, it may not be as collectable as the other castings, but its an important part of automotive history. Very happy to have a couple in my collection.
Absolutely! 💯 I love historically important casting, they usually have great backstories. Obviously, the name is on the tin… 😅
I am not a fan of the Boulevards series and I have unboxed many of them so far, but there are some amazing castings, as individuals!
Yes, especially if you start digging into the liveries based on real cars. Many cool car culture stories in there! Many thanks!
Love the music
The Pop Culture E case mix is a difficult one to find where I'm at. I've only found the Batman Van and the Audi so far. I would like to find the Corvette too, its ok if I dont find the ninja turtle van and the dark knight batmobile. That collection of comic cars you have is nice. I tried to get the sd comic con original batmobile when it went on sale but it sold out so fast and I didn't get it
Hopefully it will start flooding in soon 👍 Yeah the Party Van and Tumbler are warming the pegs here too. I didn’t really try for the SDCC batmobile, didn’t think the package overall was worth it, but I guess that’s personal preference 😅 Thanks again for the feedback!
QUE ESTA HACIENDO, MALDITO ESTUPIDOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy All Hallows Eve! Be sure to grab your latest Pop Culture and Boulevard cars from www.soundslimited.co.za
I think I've made my decision, should turn out well. Stick around for when the winners arrive! Don't forget to check out your own deals on WhatNot. My WhatNot sign up code: whatnot.com/invite/vonsail
I understand your dilemma. I've been there myself. Normally, I would probably go for as many as I could with as little as possible coming out of my pocket. But if there is one casting that I've really desired for a long time and price is what kept me from getting it, I would definitely go for it as long as, again, not too much coming out of my pocket to aquire it. Those 7-Eleven cars got me too and I think it's like you said, the nostalgia of it, kinda like how the Hess trucks are with me, I'm reminded of my grandfather with those. The first mix of the 7-Eleven cars was the 60s Corvette & the Viper, the second mix is a C6 gen Corvette & a 2020 F150 crew cab. Both mixes are still on the pegs here in NY, I think most people were only after the chases and not too interested in the regular versions. I'm sure no matter what you decide, you'll be happy, good luck
Thanks for the great comment, I think we are very much on the same page. Having to fund all of my ‘content’ means I need to be careful and a little creative with my spending. I definitely had my eye on the first set of 7-eleven cars then, thanks. Sounds like I need to make some friends in NYC! 😅
I like the Volvo colors ✨
Me too! Waaaay better than the basic, unlike many other $upers.
Excellent work, Von Sail. I really collect 1:64 in general, but I like the classic Europeans in the Boulevard series particularly....the white BMW M5, the white Mercedes wagon, and the Volvo 164. My frustration with Boulevard is that here in the US, these are available "exclusively" at Walmart, which isn't my favorite "go to" store for anything. I like the experience of finding things "in the wild" rather than buying online, and on those rare occasions where I do catch releases of Boulevards, they are most likely stripped of anything that I would consider worth buying. Part of the problem may be distribution. There was one release a couple of years ago that I looked for at Walmart several times a week early in the morning. I only ever found evidence of ONE example, and probably the only reason why it remained on the pegs was because it had a beaten card. It didn't matter to me because I was going to open it, but sometimes releases of models are abundant. Other times non-existent. Distribution elsewhere in the world must be different regarding Boulevards and "exclusiveness."
Thanks so much for the great comments. Yeah, something for everyone in these waves. When it comes to exclusivity, I inagine in the US, because of how densely populated some of the big retailers are, they need some sort of distinction or exclusivity to avoid monopolies. Here, where we don’t have that, that exclusivity doesn’t exist or isn’t needed, there are so few stores that stock premiums as it is. The upside of course that you have are store exclusives, like special colour versions, Zamacs and Red Editions. We never see those here, unless imported. Good luck hunting down those Boulevards!
Believe it or not, the #113 white AMG 36 wagon is a new casting. Not sure if you noticed the mistake made on #60, the black one, but they corrected the mistake on the white one so its actually a new casting and they named it differently too, #113 is Mercedes-Benz E 36 AMG, #60 is Mercedes-Benz AMG E 36 Estate. The mistake in the casting of the black version is that the front door cut line does not run from the roof to the rocker panel, it stops mid way down the door.
I did see that they fixed it, it was one of those errors that once you saw it, you could see nothing else 😅 I didn’t notice the name change until I did the voiceover, was looking for the word ‘wagon!’ 😄😄 Thanks 👍
In the US, up until recently, I was limited to only being able to get Boulevards at walmart. Its an issue for me because they're always very limited in amount released, the nearest walmart to me is about 30 miles away in a direction I never have any reason to go in, there are no walmarts on my way to work, none on my way home, by the time I actually have time to get to a walmart everything good is gone. I never see boulevards on the pegs. Is the availability in S.A. better? My new option here is, there is a diecast hobby store that gets cases from overseas. He is limited on how many he can get so they have to be pre-ordered and I have to buy a case, not separate cars, but if I pre-order asap I can get boulevards w/o having to pay an arm & leg from a reseller/scalper.
Wow, I’ve seen them limited to Walmart in the US, very strange. Our situation here was terrible, but more retailers have caught on to the premiums, so now we do tend to get most cases, even if it is slow and not all at tge same stores. Been a bit better in that regard. I think with the recent and upcoming releases, it’s becoming more worth it to get a case, you can always trade the extras, since there’ll be collectors in the same situation as yourself. Keep well 💪
I found 4 on the pegs and bought 2...went back a week later and the other 2 were still on the pegs!!!
I know right? People were leaving them here too, but someday, people will realise they’d been sleeping on these! 😄 Where did you see these hangin’?
@@VonSail Checkers in Parow Mall CPT. I have another sealed one if you want it... Although the Universe will be peeved when you have 7 of them!
@@JasonIdas-e6x that would be tempting fate! 😅 Cape Town pegs ftw!
You're doing a fantastic job! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Thanks! Also off-topic: Janeva, please say ‘potato’.
The 1966 Batmobile is the standard, most popular, and most iconic batmobile. I’m sure it also ranked highest in market research to appeal to most people to entice collectors to try to complete the NFT set. Except for MAYBE the 1989 Batmobile, the rest of the batmobiles are mid. At best.
Understood. But when is enough, enough? We’ll never know which others will grow on collectors if they aren’t tried as something special in a premium setting.
@@VonSail Mattel won’t speculate on replacing a proven seller. In my part of the world, batmobiles hang on the pegs except for classic.
Im hoping that because you have 2 of the Ain't Fare TH that you'll open one to see the deco on the opposite side is different from the side showing. Here in the US, we're getting the Japan Historics 4 sets this past week. I ordered a case hoping to get a chase. It arrived sat afternoon & no chase for me. We've been receiving the Boulevards 101-105 mix for the past 3 weeks and IMO, every casting in this mix is 🔥 there is not a single one I do not love in this mix. I think some places started getting the 106-110 mix this past week. I like the entirety of the current anniversary cars, I think both sets are good. To be honest though, I hope they soon stop with the anniversary sets. I understand 50th and maybe 60th but, 51, 54? Great video, TY for sharing.
Haha, I just might, you have me curious now. Agreed, the recent Boulevards have been very strong, with something for everyone. We probably won’t get all the waves, but here’s hoping 🤞.
Very nice on the short Supers. We also only get short cards around here, mostly!
Cool, where are you based? Always awesome to see regional differences.
Missed a massive amount of he restock, only got some left overs, hopefully more will come.
I hope they keep it up, yeah! 👍
Awesome
I've been searching VR BRE Datsun 510's and I wanted to know (particularly on ebay), how can you tell you're actually getting an original Vintage Racing BRE Datsun that's carded? I've seen ppl making custom reproductions of not just Red Line Club castings, but also the cards too. Thank you! Nice review of your collection!!
Usually people are pretty open when it’s a custom, it’ll most often be cheaper and clearly stated in the title and/or description. Best is to study the pictures closely and try and contact the seller to confirm. eBay offers buyer protection against counterfeit goods, so there’s that, I guess. Good luck 👍 and thank you for the feedback
Where can we get some Shortie Protectors?!
For South African viewer, the Takealot link is in the description. For anywhere else, I can recommend the Diamond brand protectors, they have short card ones too. Not sure if Sterling makes short card protectors. Quick search on eBay should give you some options.
Awesome show. Thanks and I'll be looking for those.
Many thanks, appreciate it.

January 2025 you can redeem
@PNW.HW.Hunter awesome thanks, guessing it doesn't matter it hasn't popped up in my redeemable section yet?
@bellend53 no not until its time just put it in you calander. Might show up closer to the date but it will be there in redemption day
Yes, don’t worry too much about it. They’ve been known to come and go as they do updates and maintenance too. Just hang onto the original nft, you’ll be fine. Congrats!
Do you have to collect ALL to be able to get a physical car?
No, just in the extra/bonus collections like the Fast and Furious sets, the Lambo and Acceleracers ones. But they are small, 15-20 nfts or so. With the regular series you just need to find or buy the Super Rare or NFTH nft and keep hold of it until redemption date. Then they send the tokens to be exchanged for physical cars. There are bonus physical cars if you do happen to complete whole series.
@VonSail can get a series completion car though.
Just because new boulevards come out. New pop cultures come out and new premiums come out doesn't mean that every car is good. Sometimes there's 1 good and the rest suck and the reason why you can tell that is because all those cars that nobody wants are still on the shelf. The scalpers will always take the good cars that they're going to resell.
No, it doesn’t, but it does feel like they are actively trying to cater to a wider audience. Also, the stronger the sets as a whole, the less single cars will be targeted. Harder to scalp 4x cool cars than just 1x.
