Last year, our First Awards contained 3 Hot Wheels specific awards: Best New Casting, Best Regular Treasure Hunt, and Best Super Treasure Hunt. You can find the 2014 nominees and winners through this link.
For 2015, we have expanded the categories that can win a coveted Wall-D. We also wanted to try something slightly different. For the first time, the 2015 Wall-D for Best Super Treasure Hunt has been entirely voted on by members, readers, and authors of Live and Let Diecast!
Here are our two write-ups on Regular and Super Treasure Hunts.
Once again, the admins laid out their reasoning behind their favorites, yet you definitely didn’t have to take our advice! All 15 Super THs were eligible. Let’s run down the top 3 before revealing the final votes:
3rd Place
Mustang Boss 302

Did any of these surprise you? I’m still a little shocked how high that Toyota did amongst LaLD’ers! Early January and we are already well into HW MY2016. Do you see those Super Treasure Hunts living up to this class?
