Going back to Hot Wheels (spawn of evil that it is), I want to reiterate a point that Treasure Hunts have to be more common now than they've ever been. In the space of eight days I found six THs:
Nissan Skyline
Dairy Delivery
'69 Pontiac GTO x2
Corvette C6R x2, one on the long card and one on the short card.
I'm not suggesting these have become common, but I really haven't changed my shopping strategy at all this year. In previous years I'd found maybe 4-5 TH in about 5 years or so. But I've found 21 or so this year Still no Mega Thrust or tooned Camaro for me to find. I think I missed the Camaro but the Mega hasn't shown up north yet.
The Batmobile has started showing here now, in cases with the GTO TH.
End of fat, smelly, sweat-pant clad report.
DAAAAAAMN! Where do you get all this luck? Does no one up there collect these things? I had a good run a few months ago but have been striking out lately. I did manage to find 2 GTO's (long & short) last month and a Mega Thrust the other morning, all regulars. Up until this last find I was about to just sell everything off and forget about HW's this year but i'm hoping to complete a regular set now...
