I only collect the movie cars or themed cars (batmobile, ghost busters, back to the future). There is too damn many to do much else. The treasure hunts are impossible to find.

I pretty much just get movie cars too, however, lately I've also been getting the ones that are creatures/monsters.
The only normal cars I'd like to get are one's I've actually owned, but as far as I can tell, none of the cars I've owned have ever been made (except maybe my Neon, but those are always made into cop cars for some stupid reason) Here's a list in case any collectors know of a one I don't: 1988 Isuzu Impulse 1985 Nissan 720 Pickup 1980 Ford Mustang 1995 Hyundai Elantra 2002 Dodge Neon 2010 Ford Fusion |

I was at a Walmart a few weeks ago and walked down an aisle that the toy employees had all their carts with cases of toys on them. I noticed about 10 boxes that were ripped open.
When I asked an employee if they had any new Joes I asked what was the deal with all the ripped open boxes. She said the Hawks did that. I said who are the Hawks. She said the HotWheel Hawks collectors. They come in at night when 3 rd shift pulls product on the floor. Then the toy department employee said when the "Hawks" see the boxes listed HotWheels they rush the carts and tear into them. She told me they only pull out the TH cars and leave the rest to rot on the pegs. I can tell she is not a fan of the HW "Hawks." LoL |

I was excited to see these cards hanging on the pegs. That is, until I got a closer look. Somebody should have told them it would have been way better to use the actual vehicle designs. The Scooby Doo one takes the cake. All they needed to do was give it a proper paint job. It just kind of stings when a picture of what the vehicle should look like is right there on the packaging staring right at you, and then they have what the toy actually is in the bubble. What are they thinking?
I mean Hot Wheels even did an actual Flintstones car before The Hong Kong Phooey car should have been something like this Pretty lame. |

I don't discriminate between brands. I do collect cars of this scale though, be they Matchbox, Maisto, Hot Wheels, or whatever.
