2014 HOT WHEELS MAINLINE C CASE WITH 23 NEW & RECOLOR EDITION HAS BEEN SPOTTED! - 13.NOVEMBER.2013

Since the newly released 2014 MAINLINE C CASE series, we have spotted some new castings as well as recolor editions which i will be listed them by their series numbers accordingly. Most of these cars were found in the C Case Coded: 987C FR - U.S. CARD EDITION.

UNBOXING 2014 HOT WHEELS C CASE 987C FR BY Derek Twigg.

If you look through these videos, you might notice that during the unboxing C case by mushedroom & RaceGrooves, there is NO SUPER SECRET/HIDDEN TREASURE HUNT$ inside the boxes for their case code: 987C CCL & 987C FR. Only the regular treasure hunt found. But if you look through the video posted by Derek Twigg, he has found the SUPEER SECRET/HIDDEN TREASURE HUNT$ #202 2013 CHEVY CAMARO SPECIAL EDITION (SPECTRAFLAME DARK RED). I have looked through their videos over and over again during the opening of their boxes and notice nothing was marked on the outside of the boxes as well as the inside of the boxes. These is what i mean.
Unboxing from mushedroom.

Unboxing from RaceGrooves

Now, let's check out the unboxing from Derek Twigg.

As you can see, the marked green number looks like '69' or '96' was marked at the inside layer of the opening cover. For my experiences, these marking has been occurred since 2004 boxes and it is marked with all kinds of marking using blue pen, liquid paper and pencil. All marked with different numbers and not alphabet. So if you see any videos or friends saying that this case for example: 987C FR, has super secret/hidden treasure hunt$, doesn't mean all same code cases has the same contains, ok. I have been doing alot of research on these case code together with international cases and they have the same effect as we witnessed today. So this is still go back to the old days where we depends on luck to see if you can find a super treasure hunt$, ok. Be sure to check your cases when opening up any cases and who knows we might find a new discovery.

Oh and one more thing, if you see this chop sign on the boxes,

this is probably an inspection during the finishing production from the factory. No indication saying that this case has hidden TH$, alright.

One thing that i must say, Congrats to RaceGrooves for finding 2 ERRORs! in just one CASE!!
Yes, 2 ERRORS CARS! And also to Derek Twigg for finding the hardest to find SUPER TH$!.Check it out.. :D

2014 HOT WHEELS MAINLINE C CASE WITH 3RD REGULAR TREASURE HUNT FINALLY BEEN SPOTTED! - 15.NOVEMBER.2013

When i was compiling all the cars found in 2014 Hot Wheels Mainline C Case series, normally 1 Hot Wheels case (full case consist of 72 cars) contains 25 new recolors as well as new castings, i found out that i missed out one car which can't be found on net or any other web sites which can have a full view of the carded version called FANGSTER. First, I sourced out this car model at hotwheels.com which only have this picture (Sunday - 3rd of November 2013):

And after seeing the video post by Rich 'Mushedroom' Kim (today - 15.November.2013), i finally have a full view of this casting. Check it out.

NOTE: One thing i found it very funny about the video is that when Kim finally have this casting to be first briefly review, he don't sound much happy to see this car and of course, he quickly just throw it far away (not as far as the yellow car called Quicksand)! :D But i do enjoy his video (and other videos on opening hot wheels cases).

This pic was actually screen captured from his video and anyone who has already seen his video, which the video itself also stated that there is no treasure hunt being found during the filming of his video. No one will ever suspect that this casting will be the next year's 3rd REGULAR TREASURE HUNT! Haha.. This information was finally confirmed by t-hunted web site that the very first pic to confirm this casting was the regular treasure hunt of the INTERNATIONAL SHORT CARDED 2014 #53 FANGSTER (BLUE). The 'FIRE' regular treasure hunt symbol was found at the rear of this casting. Check it out..

Very very unexpected that we will have this casting to be the 3rd regular treasure hunt next year Hot Wheels mainline series. Whether you like it or not, it is still part of the treasure hunt series which need to be added to ones collection in order to have a full complete collection of the regular treasure hunt series.

I have been waited for few days now just to find out which one is the 3rd treasure hunt of 2014 mainline series. Now we finally have our answered. :D

One thing that i found weird is that no one has ever posted this casting in eBay web site nor any other web sites since the first released of 2014 C Case spotted on 13th of November 2013. And there are only a few of 2014 INTERNATIONAL SHORT CARD found in eBay and some other web sites. 


Anyway, i will have a full list of the 2014 C Case new released coming up soon.
Stay tune for more updates, ok.
Thanks for visiting my blog & wish you all happy hunting. :)
See you all soon. :D

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

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)

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
