A rough review has already been written in my previous blog which you can read it here.
As you all know [and for those who didn't know], a few years back where Hot Wheels has been discovered with lots of variants on its castings such as wheels, windows, paint job, base and most of all - the variations on its front & back cover, not to include the errors. This year, when it started on its very first wave - 2014 Mainline A Cases, it begins with interior variations, body chassis & spoilers. Whether its INTERIOR has ROLL CAGE or Without them [in this case, so far these variations are on '92 BMW M3, MAZDA RX-7 & NISSAN SKYLINE H/T 2000GT-X], with 2 Front Seats or only 1 Seat [this is only for NISSAN SKYLINE H/T 2000GT-R - which is first seen in 2014 Mainline N Cases - Not to include the 2014 FLYING CUSTOMS series]. For body chassis variations, TOYOTA COROLLA AE-86 has either Old or New body which the NEW body chassis has more sharper details on its body's outline. Spoiler's variations will be on both JDM cars - Nissan 350Z & NISSAN SKYLINE GT-R (R34). They have been built with plastic rear spoiler since their first existence, in the year of 2006 & 2010 respectively. Nissan 350Z was the first to have this alter in the year 2013. And for this year, it enters 2014 4th of July Walmart exclusive series.
To have discovered this year's rare variations, it all comes down to the various shapes of blister/bubble used for each of the models in 2014 Mainline series. Many of the collectors might not realized the important of this features as now it might seems irrelevant or not that important in ones collections, but Mattel itself knows that this is a special hidden features [not accidentally misplace it or factory fault, in other words - An Error] which someday some collectors who has a very heavy taste on details of each of the material used not just the car itself but the entire packaging as well.
Before we move on, just wanted to let you know that all these information was gathered in days and takes alot of concentration just to bring this and share with you all, alright. Ok, let's starts the engine!...shall we? :)
Usually, there will be 26 different models in each wave of the Mainline Series including the Super & Regular treasure hunt. Not all cases have the complete set of this 26 models as there will be alot of carry over from previous wave, some can be even from an earlier waves. You can always check out the videos uploaded from these cool guys at youtube. I have gathered all of them here for your conveniences. Check it out.

Finally, we have come to an end for this wave! :D
During the worldwide released for this Case J, alot of collectors are hunting for this model, Lamborghini Veneno as it is one of the hottest car that any one won't want to miss out for. This Case has so much wanted cars that the sellers from the eBay site has sold out (1 whole case set) quickly for this wave. Now, the U.S. sellers has bringing in lots of INTERNATIONAL SHORT card edition so it will be convenience for some countries to get a cheaper postage. U.K sellers also has bringing in some INTERNATIONAL LONG card edition (normally we don't get to see these in U.K.).
Good luck to you all for hunting down those wonderful cars, alright.
Hope you have all the information you need from my blog.

Many more updates are coming your way soon. Take care guys! See you all soon. :D
