2014 HOT WHEELS MAINLINE B CASE HAS BEEN SPOTTED! - 24.OCTOBER.2013
Hi everyone! How are you all? Its been a long time since my last update on the mainline series. I've been busy doing alot of research on this upcoming 2014 mainline series. As you know, when we reach to the near end of each year, there's gonna be some changes to the designed card as well as some changes on the sub series. It takes alot of concentration & focuses just to come up with all these information that i am about to write here and share with you all. And i kinda miss all the fun in the year of 2013 Hot Wheels series. But always welcome the new arrival of these many exciting new castings and also the new combination colors that MATTEL has planned for us all. So let us get started with these new discovery of 2014 MAINLINE B CASES. In this 2014 U.S. MAINLINE B CASEs, i have found 3 different codes imprinted on the outer cases - 987 BEU, BCD & BFA.
It is safe to mention that all these cases has there own specialty in its contains and most of the collectors out there will know that not all of these cases has the hidden super secret treasure hunt (TH$). So, in this batch, we will find the 2nd treasure hunt for both SUPER & REGULAR version of 2014 series. I will list all cars according to their respective mainline series number from INTERNATIONAL (LONG CARD), U.S.(LONG CARD) & INTERNATIONAL (SHORT CARD) EDITION. It seems that the EUROPEAN SHORT CARD EDITION were no where to be found at this time. In 2014 mainline series, there's gonna be 4 MAIN category:
1. HW CITY
2. HW OFF-ROAD
3. HW RACE
4. HW WORSKSHOP
Check it out.

HW OFF-ROAD: HOT TRUCKS
2014 SUPER SECRET TREASURE HUNT$ #135 SANDBLASTER (SPECTRAFLAME GREEN) with full tampos (both sides & front bonnet of the vehicle) - U.S. LONG CARD EDITION.
( NOTE: Other card editions have not been found at this time. )

HW RACE: HW RACE TEAM
2014 REGULAR TREASURE HUNT #147 NIGHT BURNER (BLUE)
~ 1ST COLOR OF 2014.
TREASURE HUNT RED+WHITE (FIRE) LOGO SPOTTED NEAR FRONT WHEELS.
Now, here's a good news for international & European card edition collectors & newbies. Normally, U.S. card edition always has the pleasure to have colorful printing on the front cover & full of information of that specific car (especially new casting / model). But for this new casting - MR11, INTERNATIONAL (SHORT & LONG) card edition has this GERMAN soccer player star named MARCO REUS,
half of this person image has been printed on both INTERNATIONAL (LONG CARD) & INTERNATIONAL (SHORT CARD) editions EXCEPT FOR U.S. card.
HW CITY: HW GOAL - #15 MR11 (BLACK+YELLOW)
~ 1ST COLOR OF 2014. *NEW CASTING*
And furthermore, if you are serious collector, then you should not miss out this exclusive card edition only available in GERMANY. Check it out.
Marco Reus has also done some HOT WHEELS promotion and launching of this awesome casting in GERMANY. You can click HERE to check out the video. I'm not sure what are they talking about but i am very exciting to see such an exciting event held just like a few years back (2010) that MATTEL did for Danica Patrick which you can check out the video HERE. I think there's gonna be more soccer theme coming up soon just in time for next year's world cup (start date: 12th of JUNE 2014, End date: 13th of JULY 2014) edition eh.. What do you think? :)

Alright. I guess that's all for now.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog & hope it helps, ok.
For your information (those who didn't know & new comers alike), the first edition car model / casting in their first body color is always the best choice to start your collection because these models will not gonna be repeated in the next wave (for example, in 2014 CASE B, the new casting ASTON MARTIN 1963 DB5 [DARK GREEN] is the very first color & has never been made in the history of Hot Wheels series. ), so it is very unique & rare piece in ones collection. It is very important to keep track with your collection every time a new wave emerge, ok.
  
Be patient when collecting hot wheels cars. Today you might not find what you are looking for, doesn't mean you will not gonna find it the next time, right? Information provided in the internet is for you to know (to learn, gain knowledge) and to update you what's new in the market and the hunts begins. No need to rush. No one is forcing or chasing you. Choose carefully what you really want, not to compare or compete with others. Last but not least, one thing that every serious collector MUST have is to love what you collect & treasure them like your own self. Create your own dimension.. you will know once you dive deep into your own creation.

Thank you for all your times & support.
Make sure to keep your FIRE burning all the time, ok. Take care everyone. :)
I'll see you all soon. :D
