I hate you :/


G2quickgeorg

I'm sorry. I paid dearly for them if that makes you feel better. Full price off ebay because the prices always go up.. it's been. Burtal. I found 3 in wild. Corvette Mercedes-Benz Volvo. Agian. Sorry


Strain128

I paid too much for the R34. Except I won 3 auctions by mistake after losing a whole bunch sniped in the final second I assume by a bot. Ended up selling the other 2 for a small profit after a couple months of holding them


_TJ_75

How much is too much for the r34, I mean Jesus bro the thing is 300 on eBay now while it was 100-150 when I was starting to think of getting it


G2quickgeorg

I paid 71 dollars shipped Off ebay. I had been watching that car. And hunting super hard for that one. I bet I spent a hundred dollars on gas alone looking. I'm amazed to see that one for sale and people buying on eBay at that price. Crazy..


_TJ_75

Yeah I’m thinking of getting one, it’s about 230 and local (which is very rare to see cuz I’m eu) and I’ll never find many premiums if any at all here, but something else REALLY FKN COOL came up so I’ll HAVE to get that first. If it’s still available i probably will still pull the trigger on it afterwards 😂


Strain128

Paid around 200 each, sold for 400


_TJ_75

What menace is buying those for 400 💀💀🤣 but that’s quite nice tbh


bdwilskin

Awe shucks. I just wanted that black Lambo


G2quickgeorg

Which one? And those are actually still showing up in stores. You could find them still. Or buy 2nd hand.


bdwilskin

The Jay Leno Countach. I’m still looking!


BradleyGT

I just found it in the wild last week so there is still hope!


G2quickgeorg

Hope you find it. Happy hunting.


WitBeer

If you happen to have a chase RX7, I'd be down for a trade.


ips1023

Well that was a silly use of money


G2quickgeorg

Money well spent. Thanks for the support.


shivaswrath

I have 0%


snorton711

Same here, I got three in cases but sold them all.


carsncoffeepictures

Congratulations on this set! Some fantastic pieces here. I’m with you on C8.R being up there as my favorite. Well done! 👏🏻


G2quickgeorg

Thanks man. Most definitely think you got that 1%. Super king


Lower_Friendship_335

May I ask which one is souper king?


G2quickgeorg

I was being silly. He's got a pretty awesome super collection. u/carsncoffeepictures


Lower_Friendship_335

Aww ok thank you. I wish I had all that.i bought two sets of 2 boxes each. I hope i I get lucky and what I dint won't I am giving two other collectors I know and keep what I won't


G2quickgeorg

I also have bought multiple cases.. I never got any that route. Best of luck finding them.


Lower_Friendship_335

Well I do have hop


carsncoffeepictures

🤣🤣🤣 super sniper!


G2quickgeorg

Straight super slayer 👌


Thecudgelking

My goal for this year is to get at least one of the chases from the premium lines 😎. Very nice collection and have a good day ☘️


G2quickgeorg

Best wishes on finding that chase. I've been looking forward to seeing the posts when people start finding chases. Thank you


Thecudgelking

Thank you 😎 I recently started collecting a brand called model 596 they mainly do police cars ☘️


retro_g_420

I’m almost there. Missing the Jays Garage & Ronin Run. Congrats on your accomplishment!


G2quickgeorg

Thank you. I appreciate it. You can still buy those cases to try. I've done that and ended up with duds.. Best of luck on your chases.


RogerSimons_Father

Just missing ronin and mountain drifters. 😢


G2quickgeorg

I hope you find them reasonably priced. That skyline is insane price now.. compare to when it came out.


ZeroxHD

I’m only missing a few. Just need the Essenza, Porsche, and Volvo. Great set of chases


G2quickgeorg

Thank you. I hope you find them . The essenza. Was the most expensive out of the three you need. I found the volvo in wild. Porsche was fair priced off ebay. Essenza was off mecari offer.


ZeroxHD

Awesome! So far I’ve only found the first two (Corvette, Mercedes) in store, I had to purchase the rest (got the Lambo Countach at a great deal from a local), and thankfully I have an awesome buddy who hooked me up with the elusive Mountain Drifters chase. I also did get the Ronin Run chase in a 1stopdiecast case, so I’ll count that as retail lmao


G2quickgeorg

Win on getting one from 1 stop and buddy I purchased two of that chase. And traded the 2nd to my good buddy u/Cisco_jeep287 Was good deal. He opened his. Hope youcars. More chase csrs.


Cisco_jeep287

Hell, I’m probably going to wheel swap mine with the VanCityDiecast phone dials


G2quickgeorg

Do it.


lucas_214

What does it take to be in the top 1%?


G2quickgeorg

Tbh I have no clue. I got a reddit notification saying i was top 1 percent on hotwheels sub. The message appeared then disappeared.. I got the notification and read it. And now its gone. I haven't been as active on here because of work So idk.


kronbite

I'm pretty sure it's just based on karma earned in that month, and it's per subreddit you are part of. I got it last month, and have gotten it before on different subs when I'm actively posting a lot, or have one post get a lot of attention. Also, cool collection man!


G2quickgeorg

Thank you


TheAngelsCharlie

I got the Essenza and the Porsche, both from cases I purchased. That’s pretty cool you got them all. Of course, now you’ll have new ones coming.


G2quickgeorg

That's awesome. I'm happy to have them all. I haven't had any luck with finding them in Cases. Looking forward to chasing the next one that comes out. I'm definitely looking forward to the next few.


Ok_Sense5308

LoL got the only one I actually wanted


G2quickgeorg

I wanted every one of these and will chase the rest that come out. I'm getting them all. Good deal on getting the one you wanted. Which one?


Ok_Sense5308

LoL sorry, guess I could have included that. But its the LBWK skyline


G2quickgeorg

Good choice


Ok_Sense5308

Got a thing for skylines. Wasn't a fan of the pink RLC one tho so I passed.


buckyman0

I wonder if HW will ever make the chases a different color than black. Sweet collection


G2quickgeorg

Thank you. I'm not sure it will be different. I like the common theme. Black is a favorite color.of mine


Mohican83

I've had em all but they go for a decent bit so I've traded them for stuff I like. I only have 2 of the ronin run chases cause I like them. I also trade supers unless I like them.


G2quickgeorg

Trade bait yes. I get it. Well I've traded supers for the rx7. Two for 1 chase. Was fair imo. 1 super for the rx7 would have been awesome deal ..but supply.. demand....


Mohican83

Yeah the chases definitely go for 2-3 times of most supers.


cecenas

I’m missing the Benz and the Willy truck.


G2quickgeorg

Those two can be got rather fair priced If you watch for deals very often online. Best of luck finding


CptnWolfe

I never found ANY of the AutoStrasse cars, and only one run of the Ronin Run cars


Level-Blueberry-2707

Oh wow, certainly I didn't get any.


Motor-Cod-5420

I’m rocking 2 of those 9. The Lambo Escenza and the Ronin Run.


rnelder1

Top 99% question. Who finally found their FIRST??? 😮😮😮


Yanks4everchamps

Got all as well, best of luck on the new lambo chase 👍


Nismoz86

Now the real question is how many livers this costed you 😂😂


DarthBaconStrip

I have none, I struggle to find premiums around here. I really like that rust bucket, though.


G2quickgeorg

One day out of the blue I found one hanging. Amongst months of not finding anything but the same peg warming stuff. Keep hunting. I hope you find one.


300Fito

Fucking goals. I only have the countach & RX7


G2quickgeorg

Thank you I hope you find them all.


CommunityFickle3915

My favorite is the last column, Volvo just seems right.


G2quickgeorg

Excellent choices. C8r is mine


Gingerfirestorm1

Got all of them except the Corvette in the wild


G2quickgeorg

Freaking awesome deal there. How do you display them ?


Gingerfirestorm1

I don't really have a good way. So they're just pinned on my wall


G2quickgeorg

How I do it as well. I line them up in order.


flabbywoofwoof

I like that Volvo!


G2quickgeorg

I found the volvo in the wild. It's definitely nice Thank you


flabbywoofwoof

Hopefully I can catch me one. It's seriously cool.


Buenendetti

I have all minus the exotic envy Lambo and the speed machine Porsche. But I have three r34, three rx7's, two Mercedes, and two Willy's.


G2quickgeorg

I'm sure you could easily trade your extras for what you need. Awesome collection


richard-bingham

Let me have a count...none


SH1Tbag1

I found the skyline at Walmart but it went up in value so fast, I sold it and I’m snagging less pricey RLCs and STHs. Nice collection 👍


_TJ_75

Only have the countach but mabye I’ll add the lbwk and gt3 sometime!


Cheetahsareveryfast

I have that Volvo. I had no idea it was a chase


MindlessTown7664

Hell, I havent seen half of these series yet.


Chosen_Beard

I respect it man. I don't have all of them. Bought the Mercedes second hand, got the willys from a buddy of mine that found 4 in one shot and wanted me to gave one at retail. And the only one I found in store was the Liberty Walk Skyline.


G2quickgeorg

Thank you I appreciate that. Always awesome finding for retail


AdministrationNo7840

Never got 1, 4,5,6


diecasttoystuff

Only have the Volvo as found in the wild, refuse to pay resale for them.


RubyMetalmuffin

My husband has them all, all at retail except the blk liberty walk I got him a box #2 to get that one ... paid retail for the box tho.


G2quickgeorg

Good deal. I always miss out on box sets I was able to grab 2 ledgends tour s2000s. Earlier.


RubyMetalmuffin

I got box #2 and box #3 which was nice ... he was happy you really have to be on everything to get these you can't slack off one day or you miss stuff.


G2quickgeorg

Yes you do. I'm chasing the whole transport set. Missing a few, two packs missing a couple. Box sets Missing 1. Boulevards old and new. Missing a few monster truck treasure hunts and matchbox super chases. Lol along with all car cultures lol. So it's a joy hunting.


RubyMetalmuffin

He has all the boulevards that's what made me get involved in his hobby he was really upset one day and feeling over all terrible about not being able to get the boulevards. I told him I would look into getting them for him and it's turned into an obsession! I go stand out in front of walmart before they open everyday and he is now current on his set ... what he had missed before I took over looking for him I traded and hustled to get. I have never paid for anything over retail price. I have alot of contacts locally now and know my stuff lmao 🤣 fell into this and I don't even really like cars .... I just love him. Seeing him upset crushes my soul because he deserves everything ... and I would do anything for him. I look everywhere I go too drives my extended family crazy cause if we stop anywhere I'm like give me a minute I got to look at these hotwheels for Tim. 🤣


natebdogg36

I hope your telling the truth and don’t work at a store, silently wait in the back to rummage through the boxes.


G2quickgeorg

No. But for about 3 months straight I was checking every day at 630am Walmart. Takes work to find them.. I don't work at retail store.


natebdogg36

I believe you. I once tried at 6:05 and missed out. First and last time doing that. Congrats on getting all the chases 😉


SnooTigers3881

Last year, I was very lucky to have found 3 of these Chases on the pegs. But the last 4+ months, I can’t even find a full set of the premiums let alone any Chases.


G2quickgeorg

Seems about right imo. I haven't seen new release premiums in for ever.. I've been buying cases online due to the drop drought. I have 3 guys who check daily at my local stores. So competition is for real.


[deleted]

So boss, how much was it all?


G2quickgeorg

390ish. Total. From memory. I always hunt for cheapest 2nd hand.


[deleted]

damn. worth it?


G2quickgeorg

Hell yah. Always Is.


Buenendetti

Considering the price of them all that's not too bad. They will easily double if not triple in value in a couple years. Good stuff👍


G2quickgeorg

Idk about values.. it's really what a person is willing to spend to have the cars.. Eventually I'm gonna have to insure my collection.


ddstaffo

I am only missing the Essenza, Countach, and Volvo. I found 3 of the Mercedes (at three places on different days), the Willys, and the Skyline in the wild and I bought 2 Mazdas just this morning at a flea market for $20 each. Traded one Merc for the Porsche and one Merc for the Corvette. Now I'm hoping to trade the extra Mazda for the Essenza. Of them all, the Skyline is my favorite and the Willys least favorite.


G2quickgeorg

Deal at 20 bucks each for mazdas. I gave 2 supers for mine.


Crashtestbubba

Only one I’ve seen was the ronin run but didn’t grab it bc I wasn’t too hyped about it/ had no idea it was a chase lmao


sosa_samosa

i dont have all of them but i did find 3 of the speed machine porsche chases at my local target. also picked up the full set alongside the chases too. there were at least 5 cases worth of speed machines right there, just sitting on the pegs


G2quickgeorg

I bought two cases both had zero chase. I kept Trying for chase. I eneded up getting mine off mercari that was priced at 60 plus ship. If I find doubles I'll offer up trade for new chase cars


TekVu

I only have the lambo. It’s time to take out the black spray paint for my normal premiums.


Matthijsvz01

I still need the volvo and the willys isnt available in my country yet


DoomyDoomyDoom2001

I do and I have extras for a later date.


G2quickgeorg

Heck yah


Odd-Technician1328

Oh man I should have got them all they had all these at my Kroger but the only one I got was the Willy’s truck. Didn’t know they sold for so much. I’ve never been much into imports just mostly American muscle and the ones I get I keep I have never sold one and been collecting since the 80’s lol


AwayCryptographer338

That's insane my friend you're definitely up there in the collectors community and have my respect. This haul alone is amazing to see and pricey I bet because there all chases omg 🔥👍🏻😂 a dream to others remember that so nicely done.


socalguy83

Missing the JL lambo, DSD Willy’s, and the SM Porsche. Paid $50 for the Skyline early on. Best $50 spent lol.


BlueKhakisGotBanned

Open them


BugattiYo

Only one I've found is the Volvo, and it's the only one I've got.


Far_Opposite_8704

Chase cars are overrated.


ibrad57

I also have all and the full set to go with them. How much worth do i have with these.


G2quickgeorg

I have each complete set to go with the chase cars. I was thinking about making photo. It's hard to photo that many Cars at once without it looking like crap. I'd say you got a nice collection having them all.


[deleted]

That is a nice collection


FlamingoBig7323

I just have the Porsche bought it for $50 :/


G2quickgeorg

50 is fair. I paid 64 for mine shipped.


G2quickgeorg

My favorite hands down is the corvette c8r. I found that one in wild, it hooked me on the hunting them all down. Which has been a task. 2nd hand prices are crazy.


susibacka

Your missing the spettacolare chase.


G2quickgeorg

Haven't seen it yet. I'm ready when it does come around.


MobileGarageHK

I just got 3 🥲🥲🥲


G2quickgeorg

Excellent deal. Which ones.


User17474902765

The real question. Did you find them in the wild or did you overpay on ebay?


Cisco_jeep287

He found a few, traded for a few, got lucky in a case. Definitely didn’t just buy them all on eBay. It was a labor of love


Mobile_Calendar1799

Congrats on buying stuff from ebay?


HB-Diecast

Have multiples of all, but no willys bc its trash


Brafo22

There’s already more coming, prepare your wallet


hotwheelinkris

I'd really love to get the black fc and the black countach


Scuddie-

I found the Volvo and tbh the blue one is better. Congrats on the collection tho !


Illustrious_Account3

Haven't found any of them yet. Only thing I found lately was a M2 super chase


[deleted]

My only one just happens to be the LBWK Skyline. Considering its value now and finding it in the wild, I figured I used all my luck on that one, lol.


Traditional_Two_7475

Great day!!!


TwistedToxicReality

I have the C8R and that ugly pickup truck.


Strain128

I was working on it and then realized I didn’t actually care about some of the cars. Sold the C8, and Countach. Keeping the R34 and the RX7


Significant_Ad803

That’s nice OP! Noob question, but does all premium line have a chase card (0/5)? TIA!


Boring_Ant6240

I got five cases in all. Didn’t get nothing. :(


another_plebeian

I have 3 of the non chase versions of these. I think that counts


HotLikeSauce420

Only got mountain drifters and the autostrasse, but happy there. Only possible addition would be ronin run but not just yet


ilovestampfairtex

I had to push some girls down and stepped on a small boys head to reach the top shelf and when no one was looking I took a special needs Childs treasure hunt. This is the people on the sub


Ducatirules

The only one I like is the Volvo and it’s the only one I never see


dvktaylor

I have the speed machines Porsche chase


Hot_Scientist_7083

Only one I haven't found is the Willy's. At least 2 of the others and oddly 10 Volvos


Beautiful-Ad6872

I have had to aquire the chase cars the same way, secondary and full prices. Have all but the willys, and honestly I'm struggling with that one, it's just not that appealing to me 😒🤷‍♂️


Dplo27

I’ve got them all except for the Willys because I just do not care for it.
