I had quite a collection when I was younger. My son has two rubbermaid containers full of them and then some!
Funny I saw this today, I just ran out at lunch and picked up two treasure hunts!
I went crazy for a few years buying, selling, & trading to get a full year's set of Hot Wheels. I had even gone as far as buying a whole, unopened case just to have the joy of opening one up and finding the Treasure Hunt. LMAO! I have slowed down, but have tons in storage. I still peek whenever I am in the store with hopes of finding a Treasure Hunt. And I'm still a sucker for Johnny Lightning '69 Firebirds...I have 'em in all colors now.
Not a big thunt collector usually use them to trade off for vw's (I only collect vw diecast and custom diecast vw's) I am actually trying to get rid of some extras to support my modding habbit
I never was thrilled with the Treasure Hunts either. They usually looked overdone. I used them for fast cash when we needed it or to trade for stuff I really wanted...LE '69 Camaros, to finish sets, or to get VW Bugs (I love their VW Bugs). Mostly, I used them for cash when we were short. LOL! The '96 First Editions VW Bus brought in a nice penny.
