Why Do Target Employees Hate Hot Wheel Hunters?

[@ericwilliamson9699]

I know it sucks not to find any thing but it is a relief to see reality vs someone in your area that always seems to find unopened boxes everywhere he goes. Lol

[@sethbennigan3466]

Indeed, that is why I have continued watching this channel in particular!

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Thanks guys. I try and do it as much as normal collector as I can. Which is exactly why I made the same trip 3 times in this video.

[@davidokelly1140]

My guy! Putting back items where you found them. Respect .

[@jayleo67]

Okay I've been doing this for over 30 years. Walmart Target Kmart toys r Us they all hate Hot wheel people why because too many Hot Wheels collectors are whiny little babies who go in the store and throw a fit cuz they don't get the stupid car they think should be sitting there waiting on them. I'm just the opposite. When I'm in the store I clean up the toy isle I'm nice to people ....I don't go through a dump bin and leave a huge mess I see that almost every day here

[@905cavillac2]

Same, I'm constantly cleaning up after all the man/boys have their way with the death bins/pegs, but when employees see you doing that, they tend to be more willing to help you at least that what I tend to see, so ppl CLEAN UP YOUR MESS! SMH. And to the rest of ya'll happy hunting!

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Yeah, I clean it too, I find it oddly satisfying

[@samace22]

When I go to the stores I clean up other people's messes also and put stuff back where they're supposed to go and also when I go walking and I see litter on the ground I picked it up and throw it away and if i find bottles or cans on the ground I picked them up and bring them home to take back to the bottle return to get my 5 cents back and I always keep my apartment nice and clean.

@@MikesHobbyPlanet same bro. i like to treat the aisle like my own collection at home. i dont have things scattered everyone and its super satifying seeing it all clean

[@Twobrothersdiecast]

That pretty much goes for any store a manager at a dollar general store told me not to make a mess she said the adults are worse than the kids about making a mess of the hot Wheels , but I told her I wouldn't , and left it nice a neat . My brother went to our local Walmart this morning and found the collector that shows up with me in the mornings digging through the dump bin under a shelf in the back and literally ripped open the back side of the dump bin to get the boxes out now if Walmart wants to use the bin they will need duck tape to fix it

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Oh wow, that's definitely not the way to do it.

[@bradh7472]

Stores hate Hot Wheels hunters because a lot of them are way to aggressive trying to take the boxes before they are open and then the shelves are usually left in a disaster, cars left all over the place that are not wanted. Its ridicules. I was in a Dollar Tree the other day and it looked like a storm went down the isle. Cars scattered everywhere on the shelf and not on the pegs. I don't blame them for not liking hunters.

[@bradh7472]

I went to my local Walmart on a Monday night and the dump bin was loaded with Q. On the pegs they had 5 or more Lambo Zamac cars and a few Zamac GT40's. In the bin I had a large selection they must of dumped several cases. I got Porsche, Aston Martin, Nissan, Lambo, and so on. I had to pick what I really wanted because there was so many. Hit it just right that time.

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

It's the best feeling

[@i2mass]

Great choice Mike! Love me some Majorettes too! Don’t let Target or Walmart employees get you down, we only have our fellow collectors to blame for the way they feel. The Diecast area is always a disaster. All of them out of order, not on pegs, strung from one end to the other. I always have to get it back into some semblance of order before I can decide what to buy. Very frustrating, but that’s part of the “hunt”. If it was easy, everyone could do it. Strive to leave the area better than you found it, it also gives you a bit more time to study the castings for flaws/damage before making your purchase. Also don’t make the mistake of buying it twice…like I do too many times! 😂😂😂

[@HdubsDiecast]

Your stores are way more stocked than mine. Every store is stripped. only left overs. The only place with Hot Wheels is Kroger And I think. The only reason there's anything left there is because they have so much.

[@Andrew-mk7rm]

8:56 goes to check case, but can't even see the case code and decides he doesn't even care to see it and just gives up and puts it back 🤣

[@DirtyDsDie-cast]

I came across Q case crumbs at my local Walmart, 1 on the peg and 2 were in random places in another aisle. They’ve been bone dry for almost 2 months at this point..makes no sense to me though. It’s like they’re holding out on purpose or someone is paying them off, no idea.

[@chemocrusher9293]

Hey Mike! I’m a young collector and yesterday I found fresh N case at my mall, im so happy I found all the good cars and I would love to see a custom of the M3 wagon

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

I do believe you asked me before and I did grab one I'll have to find it and start it what color do you think would look best?

[@ringbullet3441]

Another dud day, dang it. Some people just aren't happy with their jobs. They will move along one day. Just keep being yourself Mike. Once they know you, they will appreciate seeing you in their store. Keep up the great hunts and awesome videos, my friend.

[@samace22]

Nice find and in store video congrats.👍 I haven't seen any Q cases at any of my local stores yet either. My local stores keep putting out the same old cases over and over again also the latest cases i seen in my area is P case the only place i have found any new Q case basic cars at is today i got some new Q case basic cars from one of my friends at my local flea market besides that I haven't seen any new Q cases at any of my local stores yet.

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

I mostly missed p! Hopefully it hits a dollar store eventually.

[@pattyofurniture8059]

Good video. The only thing I've found at Walmart lately is the first wave of 2025 Matchbox. The supermarkets here have been awesome for Hot Wheels. Older, newer, just a great selection, and they seem to be getting restocked quickly.

[@alainclerc1742]

Wish I had your wide range of HW models in my local store - they are still stuck in spring '24...

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Oh wow. Praying that soon you get some 🙏

[@mthwLol-t5v]

in our local mall in the philippines, they are already selling out the new 2025 a and b cases

[@WeAreThe3TimeChampionsOfNascar]

I've Got Q Case from my local Walmart! 🏆🏁🤩🔥🎉👍👏🤫 Finally after seeing so many Pegwarmers for the last few months.

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Yay!

[@SkylineTheDroneMaster]

Q case already hit the pegs here but I was in shock when I finally found the Gordon T.50 like man, I thought I'll pay scalper prices for it but I'm hoping to find the Mustang Fart Horse soon

[@paullentz628]

If you dont have any of the majorette gift sets, they are showing up at barnes and noble, atleast in my area. I'm on the east coast and I got the majorette porsche set a few days ago, i love majorettes too :)

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

I've had the green one I opened in this video by my side all day

[@420player1]

You think you have it bad? I went into a Walmart at night, one I had been going to for the last 10 years. I waited for the toy pallets to come out, didn’t touch anything but looked them over to see if anything was worth coming back for in the morning. At that point a security/off duty officer accuses me of theft, searches me on the spot in front of everyone, and not only refuses to apologize after finding nothing but tells me I have to leave and never come back at night when pallets come out. And then it hit me…I live in Memphis Tennessee.

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Dude that's crazy I'm sorry that happened to you!

[@CjaAguilar]

Mike, go to your neighborhood Walmart, I went this morning and I found a new dump bin, I was late but still found a lot of cool Q case cars

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Will do

[@anyoneofus9948]

Target employees like to take them for themselves. All five in Bradenton/Sarasota are compromised even the new one.

[@game_sgame_s]

Found the 83 silverado mainline today, all i needed. Also need more food segments!

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

I think you will lol

[@gr8nutz23]

Port Richey Walmart got in the Q case dump bin at some point today. Surprisingly there were still some good ones left, as I was in there just after 8pm after leaving work.

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Nice! I skip that store most of the time because it's too busy, I don't think I've ever found anything there. That seems to be your spot tho. Congrats.

[@EricMaylin-e7u]

YUUUUUUUUUUUP I have a worker at a walfart by my house he goes in the BACK AND BRINGS HIS BUDDIES CASES OUT

HOUSTON TARGETS HAVE BEEN LOADED WITH HW MAINLINES. I ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH A UNTOUCHED A CASE THE OTHER DAY. 2 MAINLINES AUDI Qs.

[@Twobrothersdiecast]

Just goes to show you that some people ack there shoe size and not their age and we need to do better cause this is what ruins it for the rest of us

[@RippJawwCollects]

its a heavy season for us employees. you guys got to stop harassing us and just wait. we go off a planogram when it comes to setting up are merchandise and the holidays make it hard, you guys make it harder.

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

fair enough, that being said, he was stocking the toys and I was just asking. I don't think its hard to just scan the barcode, considering I returned twice.

[@Hollywood_shamel]

I have been looking for that old school Benz for a while now at the Walmart you was in 9:40 and I just bought that green Porsche as well good cast

[@simplekustomsbyeddiepapand1838]

In the long run it's cheaper to go to the flea markets and work a deal with certain venders that way your nit wasting your time and gas and wear and tear on your vehicle!!! Mike .in my case it's not about the subscribers count !! So I don't hunt for subscribers!! Lol .

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Haha. Well, I enjoy the hunt, I enjoy making the videos, and I certainly enjoy when I find things so for me it's not so bad.

[@itsmephil2255]

Well here in the UK, we don't have that much choice, you have seen the video I sent you when iv been to B&M before

[@tomboepplewatercolorsdesig1258]

Enjoyed the video Mike! I have a favor to ask. One of the stores you went to I saw hot wheels Star Trek enterprise. If you see some more, can you pick me up a few? Talk to you soon!

[@neilsimon544]

I GOT LUCKY SO FAR WITH FOUR SILVERADO SUPERS. GOOD LUCK HUNTING. HOPE TO FIND MORE OF THESE SILVIES.

Thnx Ethan!

As a hunter, i would hate us too😂😂

Great video Mike keep looking I know soon you’ll find the dump bin don’t give up !

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

That's the plan!

[@DrDiecast-m5d]

i found a q case yesterday.

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Sick what's your favorite car?

[@vitoressenfelder9400]

i found 7 q cases that were already open with no supers but 3 th's were left. For some reason i could not even find the regular blue pickup the person took them all. Including the Cybertrucks and the supras. I did finally find that volcano red p1 tho. Its my first th after 2 years of casually hunting. In the Sarasota area.

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Sounds like it's rough down there

[@flcl_tx]

I think I am going to start ordering cases because hunting sucks in my city

[@filiplah3871]

You americans are so lucky and im happy for you but in europe im lucky if they even sell hotwheels and really lucky if i see a premium in some stores they dont restock for like 4 months

[@johnnyblaze2698]

lol I’d literally just got back couple hours ago from Walmart and found some q cases but of course they’ve already been hit. I did manage to get some good cars though so not a total loss.

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Noice! Congratulations!

[@johnnyblaze2698]

Walmart on 54 before you get to 19 had tons of them come in might be something you’re looking for in there

i found q case but i was late to the dump bin 😢 i found the mclaren f1, vw t3, and dodge van tho

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Still cool finds

[@ca9448]

I’m sorry, but if I come across a uboat with boxes of hotwheels. I’m going to open them. They are going on the pegs anyway. And let’s face it, the customer is always right. P.S. you put me to sleep today with this video. Don’t know if it was the tone of your voice or what, but I dropped my phone and woke myself up.

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

The boxes in the boat just said toys, none them were hot wheels. I was just trying to get the guy to see if they were in the back with the shipments. As far as boring goes, fair enough. Not much excitement in this video. Lol ca your funny, I respect how you say it as it is. Thanks for the comment. And thanks for watching lol.

[@ca9448]

@ I didn’t say you were boring. I literally fell asleep to your video. Must have been your voice

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

@ca9448 ah I see, what your saying is I'm soothing. 😁

[@JayMartel24]

I am sure it's not just Target here in my City Toys R Us hate Hot Wheel Hunter's they kick them out . because they get angry with the workers and tell them off in the store good lord they are toys not Diamonds I just came from Dollar Store & Walmart nothing at all it's getting worst in getting anything new on the shelves and once something comes in that person buys all the boxes not fair at all You must burn a lot of gas going place to place I had to get one of those Sushi Cars because my daughter and i go to Sushi many times so i picked up another one and going to give it to the Sushi place I think they will like that Do you go to a Costco Store and check out the Cars Also those workers that make out they are scanning boxes they say it's not what's inside because they are holding the boxes for people who are tipping them extra mark my words it's an obsession now not a hobby it ruins it for all of us that want to enjoy hot wheels right Great Video i enjoyed your hunting have a great day

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

As always, thanks for the comment and for watching my video!

[@jodep2403]

1st

[@ernietrott3529]

Because you guys leave the shelves a disaster. You leave cars all over the place. You harass employees. Keep asking them to bring boxes from the back, because you find out their inventory. You take boxes of the cart. You hang out in the store all day waiting to bring out the boxes. But most of all you're rude. Im always cleaning up the ailes putting cars back where they belong.

[@MikesHobbyPlanet]

Personally I do none of that. But I understand these are the reasons why the employees feel the way they do.
