Yesterday, Philip and I were trying to determine approximately how many Hot Wheels are in one of those mammoth 4 sided displays you might find at a Kroger or a Meijer. The calculation: 20 cubbies per side x 6 cars per hole x 4 sides =approximately 480 cars. That's a significant amount of cars, more than 6 and a half cases. And frankly, if you are a collector, I would venture 99% of the cars you already have and/or don't have any interest in purchasing. Same with dump bins or walls of pegs at "Super" and "Big" stores. If you go to multiple stores in one trip that can be thousands of 24/7, Horseplay, Dieselboy, Pharodox, and Street Shakers that you go through without finding anything of note. In moments like this, when you come across the Symbol of the Flame between Turbo Turrets and Sharkruisers I've found it becomes awfully hard to resist.
Although I admire our friends at the Lamley Group's position on this (leave it for the kids) and I usually subscribe to it, I can't necessarily wholly agree. For most of us, hunting is not something we can do very often and the chances of finding an actual Super Treasure Hunt is extremely unlikely. Even a ZAMAC or whatever VW Panel Bus is in the current Pop Culture series is probably not going to happen. A Regular Treasure Hunt though? That's possible. So I've come to a compromise and started grabbing one of each Regular and for each additional one I find, I try to hide deep in with the least desirable Hot Wheels on display. I also have determined rules for collecting Regular Treasure Hunts: no buying on eBay or even trading for them, I have to physically come across one in the store. This made it so when I found La Fasta TH at the back of one of those displays a couple days ago and completed my collection of 2014 regulars, it was seriously satisfying.
Anyway, that's my current position. When I showed Philip the Fast FeLion TH at top, his immediate response was to claim it would look great with some tampo delete. Luckily, there are the 30 Fast FeLion mainlines I passed up before finding this TH that could be customized. :) Finally, please try and refrain from purchasing 7 copies of, say, the Rocketfire or Speedbox Treasure Hunts for.....well, really any reason. They are not valuable in a monetary sense (and, it's time to face it: you'll never make money on those 12 Fangster THs that you're keeping on the card), yet when you see that logo after flipping through pegs and pegs of cars that are of little interest to you, I've found that it tends to make hunting a little more fun.
