A Guide on HW Treasure Hunt Hunting

For over a decade, Hot Wheels used to signify a Treasure Hunt with a green card. However three years ago, they started to use a circle flame logo on their Treasure hunts; confusing collectors new and old. This guide will help the new collectors in identifying a Treasure Hunt on the pegs, and which ones are not Treasure Hunts that do have the circle flame logo.

Some cases, the circle flame logo will be hard to find.

In the past, Hot Wheels did have circle flame logos on cars, but that was before that logo was synonymous with the Treasure Hunt of today. Many people get confused with it.

There are also Super Treasure Hunts, which are normally mainlines that have a special paint and Real Rider tires (rubber tires). These are even harder to find. They too have a special logo, but it’s not on the same calibre as the circle flame logo.

(Note the "TH" on the back and the difference of the "normal" van)

I really hope this helped out a lot of people.
