I upload 3-4 a week but this week, I have uploaded something every day. I have more ready to go through the weekend! If you check my Racegrooves Instagram or Facebook page, I have a sneak peak of tomorrow's presentation =)
Briefly, C4982 means that it is a case that can be sold World-Wide. Please watch my double-unboxing video from over the weekend. I showed a World Wide case compared to a USA case and explained the difference. You want to look for the 3-digit alpha code as well. You need the complete 3-digit alpha code, not just the H. If they only tell you H, then you can look at my HKH video to get an idea what COULD be in there.
Congrats on acquiring the Pagani Huayra! If you want to see it on the track, do a CZcams search with these words: Race Grooves Track Time Pagani Huayra
I used to have giveaways but I stopped them because CZcams has too many rules that are supposed to be followed. It takes all of the fun out of doing giveaways. Besides, I want people to watch the videos because they have fun or learn something. I don't want viewers that are only here for giveaways. I donate extra cars to charity and I donated 500 cars last year. You can search for my Racegrooves Friends And Family video to hear me talking about the donation.
In the USA, the '64 Riviera has a 2012 Mardis Gras release and there were a few special releases before that. World Wide, it was in the 2009 HW Hot Rods 5-Pack. The last single available in the regular mixes was the 2008 Treasure Hunt. I got this information from the Hot Wheels Guide at the SouthTexasDiecast website.
I don't have stuff on display. Search my videos and you will see shots of my piles of boxes =) Recently, watch the beginning of my video called, "Random Loose Cars Box 1 (Blackwalls Hot Ones Ultra Hots) "
Thanks for letting me know about the TMGM on the base of the So Fine. I just checked the 2001 Treasure Hunt to see what it had way back then and it has the TMGM as well - Thanks!
I haven't opened up the Batmobile yet. As for it being metal/metal, the days of entry level licensed basic cars ($1) are gone. None of the diecast manufactures have metal/metal at that price point anymore so it is unrealistic to expect it.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I know you must have a hundred or more reponses a day to pick through, I am always honored when you feel my questions are worthy of a response.
No, I don't work for Mattel. I am Race Grooves! I pay for everything myself. This way I can give honest reviews without anybody telling me what I'm supposed to say =)
you were showing some of them, but the others, all we could see were the top of the car. but no biggie... keep em coming. over here in Manila we're still (as of this post) at G case cars on retail. unbelievable. i have to resort to the hobby shops that get stocks from the U.S. for cars from H, J, K, and L cases but have to pay like $4. per car.
Do a search for my 2013 Treasure Hunt Information video. It explains it but basically, basic treasure hunts for 2013 have a circle-flame logo and Super Treasure Hunts have rubber tires, special paint.
07:34 The "So Fine" Isn't actually a "Fantasy" casting. The casting itself is based on a 1951 Buick, according to the Hot Wheels Wikia. It also has a "TMGM" marking on the base.
I went to my local Walmart, and found a new dump bin, complete with L Case cars. Here are the models I found Ford Mustang GT Concept (Treasure Hunt x3) Pagani Huayra Acura NSX Concept 1970 Dodge Charger R/T 1969 Dodge Charger Dodge Challenger SRT-8 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet
Because you are an expert and I have only been collecting for the last 13 years of my life, where can I find these treasure hunts? I usually just buy track stars, but now I want to try and find the Treasure Hunts!
A question about the Anton Furst Batmobile: What material is it? Metal or plastic? That car should be all metal in my opinion, Hopefully it at least has a metal base.
The 89 batmobile is my favorite as well! It's mean and classy at the same time. Plus, I want that version to pair with the 2013 Tomica and my first one that I got out of a cereal box. Hope to find it when the L case arrives here.
The Anton Furst Batmobile is my favorite of all Batmobiles too I am a big fan of your unboxing videos. It gives me a heads up on what the new releases, TH and Supers are. I don't like to buy them second hand. For me the fun is in the finding, If it is possible would you slow down when you show both the back and FRONT of the cars? especially when there are tampos or combined features like headlights and grills made out of different material than the body. Thank you Good to see you back..
Gracias por mirar y divertirse con sus coches!
Thank you for watching and have fun with your cars!
I strive to show as much of each model as possible. I also have to consider not having the video run very long. Thanks for the kind words!
You're welcome and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment =)
The Pagani is going to be very popular with collectors all over the world!
Thanks for watching and happy hunting!
LOL! I was so focused on pronouncing Huayra correctly that I said Pagani wrong. I just listened to it and I can't believe that's what I said!
Yes, over 100 CZcams comments a day but I try to reply to as many as possible. Especially those that are well thought out - Thanks =)
Thanks for finally coming around and subscribing =)
I don't know if any of the markings on the outside have anything to do with what is inside.
I upload 3-4 a week but this week, I have uploaded something every day.
I have more ready to go through the weekend!
If you check my Racegrooves Instagram or Facebook page, I have a sneak peak of tomorrow's presentation =)
As always, thanks for watching =)
LOL! I was so focused on pronouncing Huayra correctly that I said Pagani wrong!

You will see a Matchbox presentation on Thursday or Friday - Thanks!
LOL Thanks for watching =)

I'm going to have to open up the Batmobile. I have several people asking and I will make a video when I crack it open.
I think that everybody is going to be looking for the Pagani! Best wishes in your search!
Yes, I could have gotten neither Treasure Hunt but it still was a nice case with some pretty awesome cars - Thanks!

As you can see, Treasure Hunts are randomly inserted into the cases. They can be found at anyplace that sells HWs.
Best wishes finding the cars that you want. The Pagani will be very popular and tough to find.
Sorry, I can't do special track requests.
In the USA, the '64 Riviera has a 2012 Mardis Gras release and there were a few special releases before that. World Wide, it was in the 2009 HW Hot Rods 5-Pack. The last single available in the regular mixes was the 2008 Treasure Hunt. I got this information from the Hot Wheels Guide at the SouthTexasDiecast website.
Yes, the Pagani will be in the US cases as well.
Time Tracker? Obviously a nod to the high speed time attack events where extremely tuned vehicles with crazy aero kits take part in.
Best wishes finding the last Batmobile that you're missing!
Even if you don't find the police Hunt on your own, it will only be a $2-3 car in the future and will be affordable to pick up.
9:51 No, it's a common regular release.
I thought that I was showing the names of the cars as well but I guess I missed a few - Thanks!
10 years later there are some heavy hitters in this case. The Supra, Charger, and Toyota Pickup being the highlights.
I don't have stuff on display. Search my videos and you will see shots of my piles of boxes =)
Recently, watch the beginning of my video called, "Random Loose Cars Box 1 (Blackwalls Hot Ones Ultra Hots) "
It is interesting to get two Police Treasure Hunts but I'm not complaining =)
When the L cases hit the stores, the Pagani Huayra seems like it is going to be very hard to find!
If I find a Super, that's great. I don't particularly collect them and don't seek to get every one. Happy collecting =)
I look forward to getting lots of different colors!
Yes, that is pretty unusual to have a police car as a Treasure Hunt and then to have two?!?!
Sealed cases are available on eBay. There is no discount. It will run about $100 with tax and shipping.
Thanks for letting me know about the TMGM on the base of the So Fine. I just checked the 2001 Treasure Hunt to see what it had way back then and it has the TMGM as well - Thanks!
Ah, the MB Cadillac Fleetwood is sweet!
I haven't opened up the Batmobile yet. As for it being metal/metal, the days of entry level licensed basic cars ($1) are gone. None of the diecast manufactures have metal/metal at that price point anymore so it is unrealistic to expect it.
Since they have been doing Basic and Super Treasure Hunts, both can be found in one case.
I agree! It's a nice looking T Hunt!
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I know you must have a hundred or more reponses a day to pick through, I am always honored when you feel my questions are worthy of a response.
Yes, the same cars are available all over the world.
Great cars even if there are no treasure hunts.
So many I wish, I had.
Yes, these are what will be appearing in June, 2013
That gold release was nice too!
Thanks! Happy hunting for the Bat!
No, I don't work for Mattel. I am Race Grooves! I pay for everything myself. This way I can give honest reviews without anybody telling me what I'm supposed to say =)
Yes, that tail apperature (spelling) is pretty distinctive to that style of racing.
The Pagani is in stores too. I picked up another one this week at Toys R Us.
Yes, the Corvette Stingray was in the Highway 35 World Race series too.
So Fine - '51 Buick Roadmaster - Thanks!
Best wishes finding the Pagani! It seems like it is going to be a very popular release!
Tomorrow will be an M-case unboxing =)
Oh yeah! I love this Batmobile!
I was overjoyed to see the batmobile coming out. It's the one I've been waiting for and only Hot Wheels Batmobile I don't have in my collection.
There should have been a text overlay on the screen that said 'Supers'. That's what I meant, there were no Supers.
Happy Hunting for the F&F cars!
You may find less security cameras in the plastic storage containers aisle. I'm just saying...
No doubt! I want extras but I am probably lucky that I have the one from this case.
you were showing some of them, but the others, all we could see were the top of the car. but no biggie... keep em coming. over here in Manila we're still (as of this post) at G case cars on retail. unbelievable. i have to resort to the hobby shops that get stocks from the U.S. for cars from H, J, K, and L cases but have to pay like $4. per car.
LOL! I was so focused on pronouncing Huayra correctly that I botched the easy one!
okay, i know i am talking a lot, sorry about that. scratch the question, i will hit walmart saturday
I should have said there were no Super Treasure Hunts because there was a basic Hunt, the blue police car.
The Supra is currently appearing in USA Toys R Us stores. It's a nice model!
It is unusual to see a re-color so soon.
Just search eBay and you will find people selling cases. There is no discount as a case and it will cost you almost $100 with tax and shipping.
Custom Fleetwood Cadillac ! My favourite !

I like the red wheels on all of the hotwheels cars
I went to my local Walmart, and found a new dump bin, complete with L Case cars. Here are the models I found
Ford Mustang GT Concept (Treasure Hunt x3)
Pagani Huayra
Acura NSX Concept
1970 Dodge Charger R/T
1969 Dodge Charger
Dodge Challenger SRT-8
Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet
LOL! I was so focused on saying Huayra correctly that I totally botched Pagani!
Happy hunting and best wishes finding the F&F and the Pagani!
Because you are an expert and I have only been collecting for the last 13 years of my life, where can I find these treasure hunts? I usually just buy track stars, but now I want to try and find the Treasure Hunts!
Wal Mart here in VA just unpacked this case last night, and I found the Mustang GT Concept TH car on the pegs early this morning. My first TH find.
Yes, it is a shame that you can't get them at a good price.
Pagani and the Acura look fantastic.
i want the corvette sting ray and that acura nsx and that batmobile and also the lotus i love new models so much!
I found the Pagani Huayra at Toys R US too!
Me neither! There are a few that I would like to get some extras =)
No, I do not sell or trade cars. Find somebody on eBay who sells.
Yeah, a good car for the boosters too!
Best wishes finding the '69 Dodge Charger!
A question about the Anton Furst Batmobile: What material is it? Metal or plastic?
That car should be all metal in my opinion, Hopefully it at least has a metal base.
Me neither. I haven't found a Super in the stores since last year.
Happy collecting!
The 89 batmobile is my favorite as well! It's mean and classy at the same time. Plus, I want that version to pair with the 2013 Tomica and my first one that I got out of a cereal box. Hope to find it when the L case arrives here.
Oh yes, I know the model now.
The Anton Furst Batmobile is my favorite of all Batmobiles too

Good to see you back..
Thanks!
Happy Hunting!
OH YEAH! PAGANI HUAYRA! IM LOOKIN' FOR THAT!
Happy hunting for the Hunt!
Cool case. My favorites are the Boss Mustang and the Fast and Furious cars.
One of my fav THs so far
I had practiced pronouncing Huayra correctly and then I totally botch Pagani LOL!
