I scored a Treasure Hunts '12 Ford GT at the dollar store today. I don't collect HW but keep my eye out for the green stripe in case any of you need. If anyone is interested, PM me!

Nice scores, pirelliboy... I've looked for both of those... but haven't found them... I may resort to buying the Dan Wheldon set off eBay.
And nice score on the Treasure Hunt, Bumper Save... I missed your post on that the other day.

Is it me or treasure hunts and $TH even harder to find these days or have they stopped doing them? At my local Asda in slough about 3 months ago I saw 12 unopened cases of single hot wheels cars, I got really excited as it was more than likely 5-6 would have TH in them. Not one case had a TH in it and in the last 6 months I have opened probably 50 cases and only seen 1 TH. Is everyone else finding it hard to find them?

I have only seen one Treasure Hunt in a store in my life... I keep trying to look for the secret treasure hunts but I'm sure they are all gone by the time I look.
I have heard rumors in the past that people who package cars may remove Chase Cars or Treasure Hunts from Cars and Hot Wheels cases... and 2 year ago, a former online reseller called me to tell me that several of his Cars cases had been opened, apparently at the trucking company - not one case out of 10 came with all the Cars - the Chase Car was gone from every case.

How could I pass up a blue Porsche?

Looking forward to your photos, Jason... I can look for one of those Porsche for you - I think I've seen it almost every Walmart.
And at the flea market, another vendor/booth has hundreds of old Hot Wheels going back to the mid 1990s... most were either 75 cents or $1.00 each... I have no idea what's there - I'm sure most were pegwarmers/leftovers... any ideas on what I should look for?

most,if not all had a green stripe on the card.i think this would be the most tell tale sign of finding any.
i'd look for ferrari's,lamborghini's,go-karts,mini's(as in austin littleton crew chief),bugatti veyron,certain supercars and race cars,rally cars myself but that's just me

I've always collected cars I actually like or would like to own, I don't really dig the made up crazy design cars (although my son does)
My favourite car to collect is the E-body Plymouth Barracuda, as I would personally love to own one.
I have a few colours now but if anyone spots any I don't have let me know and your make a friend for life lol
