      I have started collecting about 2 weeks ago and I am realizing that there are people who go sit and wait for new boxes to be opened and then raid all of the special cars. Or better yet they open 15 boxes right in the middle of walmart looking for rare cars. What chance does that give me? I have a full time job and am doing this for fun.

      ​@@zack8819i started like two weeks ago as well. And totally agree with you, i still hunt for TH and STH as everyone does. But in the end i just look for the ones i like. I got myself a wishlist from the ones i see on the internet and those are the ones i focus on. Just enjoying die-casting of fun interesting cars. Sure it would be nice to catch a box but these guys make 520 million cars a year, pretty sure i can get myself a couple of cool ones hahaha

    I have a question about Hot Wheels? I noticed that there are Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts that have two flames (doubleflame 🔥🔥) on the car and others with just one flame. It depends on where the flames are located. Models with only one flame usually have it at the back or on top of the roof. I noticed that the models with two flames are somehow much rarer from Hot Wheels than the ones with just one flame (With two flame, is not the same!???). For example the 58 Impala or 47 Chevy Fleetline, these have the flame on the left and right (i.e. two). I haven't looked at the TH yet. I'm surprised no collector has thought or talked about it yet. It should actually be similar with the TH on the Super T.? Please take a look at your Hot Wheels. What does it look like there?..Checked again, the ones with a flame might be rarer?
