Unboxing TWO 20-year old Hot Wheels old-style cases from 1998 and Treasure Hunt score!

20-year old factory sealed Hot Wheels cases! This is how Mattel used to provide their Hot Wheels cars. It was still a 72-count assortment of basic cars but it was one level, not two. They stopped using this style in the early 2000's so I have no idea what is going to be inside.
It was fantastic that each case had a Treasure Hunt!

This was far before Mattel started to implement base codes on the models which indicated when they were produced.
You'll see Ferrari models! This is when Mattel still had the license. A few of the cars in this case went through the Hot Wheels Final Run series which means, they will never be produced again. That includes Street Roader, Tank Truck, Alien, Radar Ranger, Dodge Charger Daytona, Cat-A-Pult, Buick Wildcat and Big Chill.

[@everetteconnell5261]

Do you happen to have the dukes of hazard collection from the 80s I'd love to see them again it's been 30 years since I have seen them those were my lucky treasures

[@bryoma]

1998, exact same year i started collecting, my dad tought me to buy 2 models, one to cellect and one to play.

[@FrostSoul-qs6kq]

Yer pops is a smart guy . Real good advice right there .

[@TougeWarrior93]

Sasha Romano for me it’s difference I only bought 2 model for the one I believe would worth something more in future 1 model for model like Batman

[@matteii8262]

Your dad is really a smart guy and a really good father. Not only he taught you about collecting but he taught you the mindset of a financial advice. You save half of your money and the other for expenses.

[@stickman20233]

I do something like that. I buy one model and then if I like it enough then I try to get a second one. Half the time I can't find one and then I open it like the time I got a land rover defender 90 zimac metal edition. It had some damage to the plastic

[@TheRealBmanswan]

So much nostalgia running through my mind. These bring back memories of the Stunt track driver games and planet hot wheels.

[@JoseMedina-hs9st]

A blast from the past

[@MrTrailer123]

At that time it was real collecting... Just saying that was when I started collecting around 1999 and 2000 I was always at KB toys a block away from my home.. I was 20 years old.. Lol I'm old now.. Cool video

[@aoclive6710]

Never too old to do what you enjoy.

[@longshotmaster]

If it makes you feel any better I’m about to turn 21 keeping real collecting alive although stores in the north east aren’t as good as the south it seems

[@HWROMANIA]

I feel NOW like u feel back in 2000s. Im in my twentys and im fking hungry for collecting and hunt :D So who feels nostalgic, go run into a store, buy some HW and enjoy

[@larryd4352]

KB Toys was great! I shopped there when I moved to New Orleans....along with Toys 'R' Us, Kmart, Walmart, Service Merchandise, Target...and other places that sold Hot Wheels and NASCAR diecast. KB Toys had an Outlet store in an Outlet Mall in Gulfport MS right off of I-10. My buddy and I used to find all sorts of cars at that outlet store. Still have a lot of them. But...I have been collecting Hot Wheels since the first came out. How I wish that I still had the 100's of HW's me and my 3 brother's had!!! I am 63 years old, and I can guarantee you we had all of the initial Hot Wheels.

[@evanclark8932]

I was born in '98, I have a few of these cars from my childhood. Nice video!

[@thedungeon593]

Awesome to see a throwback case unboxed, nice to reminisce and remember 1998!!!

[@Aleshotgun]

Omg I used to collect those as a kid, same exact series, seeing them now brings a tear in my eye

[@ratblacks_diecast]

Wonderful memories of opening up these cases!,.. Thank You!

[@TheLTD_]

This was fun to watch. I so remember seeing cases like this on the pallets at Walmart

[@WheelsNThangs]

Very cool to see these. Keep em coming!

[@michaelsdiecastgarageracin1583]

Really cool to see older cases. When I buy loose cars I always wonder about the card and case. Saw quite a few from my thrift shop finds. Thanks for sharing

[@BusBoy501Productions]

Great presentation Mark! These cars are a year older than I am! It’s nice to see what the cases looked like back then!

[@buecar]

Always fun to watch some older videos of even older content! I was too young to collect then but I was the prime target in 1998 - 10, so I remember these new on pegs

[@Shaxitron]

Thanks for the upload. Makes me want to go through my collection in storage and do a video. I have at least 1000 boxed cars from the early 90s -about 2004 when I stopped collecting.

[@PzKpfw04]

I vividly remember collecting all those cars. What a blast from the past. Thank you! I immediately knew the red car card preceeded the blue lol

[@MrREDPILLhimself]

I knew that I remembered that you had opened some of these flat cases. Thanks for your input on the cases I'm looking at.

[@GRivera54]

I have soooo many of these exact cars from when I was young! It’s crazy to see them all in original packaging again lol

[@oliversworldofwheels4910]

Those cases are different and similar! Awesome cars! Love the video like always!

[@battlestylespl]

At-a-tude was based on a 1953 Studebaker Starlight Coupe

[@mabbias]

I would love to see the 1970 Dodge Charger Daytona on the track! just look at that wing!!

[@tahuutempee1139]

Not wing its spoiler

[@toxicsad7912]

Way to ruin his (or her) vibe

[@larryd4352]

I am old enough to have actually seen the car in question on NASCAR tracks...and even remember seeing a US Army Soldier driving around Ft. Bliss in El Paso with an orange version of the car. Even my dad thought it was a great looking car.

[@harshusingh4642]

I too

[@ChasingDiecastCars]

Very nice throwback unboxing video!

[@AstralDragoon]

Watching this melted my heart. '98 was the year my brother and I got big into Hot Wheels (I was 10 at the time). I remember finding so many of these First Editions on the grocery store displays.

[@edbridgeford9863]

THANK YOU for this video! '98 i was 11 and had almost everything in that case. So many memories just came back to light lol! Love the '57 T HUNT the Flying Aces series and that wheel loader is gorgeous! Great video👏👏👏

[@MomwithGrandPiano]

Great unboxing my friend. It's really fun to watch you unbox these boxes and commenting each car. You really do know your stuff. :-) Have a great weekend!

[@DeadMaul]

Beautiful flashback with those boxes!! Love it!! great unboxing!! :D

[@HtwhlsZteam]

Awesome vid Grooovy!! Thanks for the flashback, mid to late 90's was my wheel house.. Sure I annoyed my pops to death asking if we could buy these LoL!!

[@NachoTV]

It's going to feel like we time traveled and racegrooves did this 20 years ago

[@racegrooves]

It was a neat experience getting to unbox these! Of all the years that they could have been, these were great for me to experience and I hope everybody enjoys it as well. I was able to talk about variations, card art changes and cars that have been Final Runned to never be seen again.

[@NachoTV]

@@racegrooves really looking forward to seeing this episode.. hopefully you mention how you aquired such a special treasure.

[@racegrooves]

Somebody sold them on eBay four years ago and I'm finally getting around to them!

[@NachoTV]

@@racegrooves glad you waited to open them now instead 😁

[@jakobsmith5575]

Total trip down memory lane for me! I had so many of these

[@davidbeeson1178]

Awesome video, it funny I was just at my parents house going through boxes of hot wheels and just was looking at those cars. It do take you back in time👍

[@JoshuaWilliams-lx1vm]

Wow, I was 7yrs old when these came out. I had a lot of these, wish I still did.

[@acen2000]

A time capsule of awesome, fantastic video Mark👍

[@JonToyCars]

Those are some special cases, back to the past. I don't even think i had Hot Wheels cars back then :)

[@memlongody]

GREAT find!!! I especially like the Turbo Flame at 13:33!! I learned quite a while ago that the flame coming out of the back of that model was used in the 2005-2011 Hot Wheels logo!

[@PACKERMAN2077]

Oh I had the Chrome insectaride Tampo and I loved the body it was so unique but always hated the color.

[@WorldwideDarts]

1998 was when I was working 3rd shift at Walmart and stocking the toy department. I was probably the biggest collector in Maine. After I left that job for a real job I stopped collecting but now I recently got back into it and just last week found my first STH. Not bad for a month into things.

[@kolurosu]

Omg the nostalgia is real on some of the hot wheels I forgot i had

[@casper1995able]

Man I had afew of these cars when I was a kid and seeing them again brought me back haha

[@m0ther_bra1ned12]

Man these 1990s models look so much better then the ugly transparent models we're getting now.

[@RussBillard]

Today I bought 4 cases of cars, each case holds 48 cars, however there were 50 cars in each case. was so nice watching this opening as all the cars you've shown were mixed through those cases. helped to put a name and time the cars were sold. thanks see you again soon.

[@deliveryman_dan]

This man's all brains, he is making a truck, or even possibly a sea of cash in some more years since he could sell some of his very old Hot Wheels and create 1k/car, bravo comrade! Bravo.

[@teodorobottazzi8253]

I love old hotwheels cars. Thank you Racegrooves 😁

[@larryd4352]

I was still collecting all the HW's in 1998. I had every car, including TH's in 1998. I think they started with the red car and switched to the blue car on the card later in the year. There were a few variations on the interiors of some cars, and if you had the rarer of the two...you could get really good money for them on eBay.

[@colinsdiecast164customs]

Excellent video, I learnt loads that I did not know, thanks.

[@the_random9718]

Oh how many 98 cars I have, thanks for the video!

[@crashmoar290]

This is going to be great!

[@lanban4385]

it sure will

[@m0ther_bra1ned12]

Man I'd love to have more Ferraris in my collection.

[@jacobtani9785]

I started collecting back in 2005 and I just started to collect again after a 4 year hiatus. I collected with my dad for the longest time and he’s been collecting way before treasure hunts came out and even has the full set of the first treasure hunts back from 1995.

[@Toxic2T]

11:39 I have that #66 Panoz with black interior brand new too. I had one as kid back in the late 90's but I destroyed it(still have the remains somehow lol), then about a year ago I asked in a local HW Facebook club if anybody had one for sale, so a guy contacted me saying he was willing to give me an almost brand new one for free with only shipping fees so I was very lucky to find this variation again. I love these 90's Hotwheels.

[@adamstarantulas9984]

I shared your video on my Facebook page Valley Hot Wheels Group, and pictures of all the ones i still have from this case. My son was born in 98 so i been collecting for a while.

[@scottkernan5577]

THIS CASE BRINGS ME BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF MY HOT WHEELS COLLECTING

[@hotwheelsinfinity190]

Cool vid glad your filming again

[@drumdog15]

This is such a blast from the past, reminds me of when my son and I started playing Hot Wheels video games back in the early 2000's, got totally hooked on collecting in 2003, my son will be 23 in a few days. 😃 thx for this Mark!

[@some-a-thing6069]

Hot wheels still currently has the license for toyota, there is the scion fr-s (toyota 86) toyota baja truck, and the supra still available (Supra only in a 5 pack)

[@collector8452]

Great Premier Mark, I Love Your Content

[@maxthekituchiha7057]

I may have only been 7 years old when these boxes came out but holy crap I remember those car so vividly and I still have a few of them around my house today

[@ManuelFlores-uq3bh]

I just had a Nostalgia moment and its before bed 🙏

[@finnsilver16]

The video hasn't even stayed and I already have it a like! Can't wait!! :D

[@mavericknizmo9182]

I loooooove the Cat-A-Pult. Great video!

[@AToyZ]

wooghh what a score... that hot wheels from 1998 also cool

[@mrmomjoe8019]

Nice video 👍 lots of good info

[@nikoenciso01]

Dairy Delivery was one of my favorites wow 💯🔥

[@chuckieduce9370]

Wow brings back great memories when working at toys r us 96-99 we would get in avg. of 5-8 cases at a time everybody wanting to be the first to crack them open.thanks

[@TallerMenga]

That Ford '32 was my first hot wheels ever. I still have it to this day!

[@lugu9708]

Correct HotWheels brought Corgi casting back in 1997.. and the Red Car packaging was the early ones - brings back some great memories :)

[@lisasullivan3974]

I love the twin mill, I've seen one in person at a car show

[@sqTake2]

Hold the phone! That Dodge Charger Flyin' Aces is SWEEEEET!!! Gotta gotta have one, the others are nice but that is incredible. Saying goodbye to lunch money for a couple days cos a Tow Jam has to come home with it too, very glad to have encountered the forms. For track time picks I'll go with Radar Ranger and Lakester, which I had misinterpreted as a submarine ...

[@AToyZ]

that dodge is will be rare item i guest ...

[@jessecarterrandomando6120]

I loved the Flame Stopper as a child. Would love to get my hands on it again someday! Thanks for the nostalgia!

[@PACKERMAN2077]

When I first saw it I thought it was a Matchbox First Responders

[@_diecast_chaser_]

Love it Mark! This was my 5th year collecting, I was in 6th grade. Great memories.

[@JarcodeRover]

These are wicked!

[@ladylandr]

Awesome video. The 1957 Chevy Bel Air Treasure Hunt edition is seriously cool. Looking forward for more Hotwheels unboxing videos. 😀😎♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@noorkhan9125]

All of them are magnificent

[@eiriknalder4683]

Mark, do you remember in the 98 or 99 collection could be 2000 collection the Dragon series, it had a graphic of the Chinese dragons on the sides, I ahve the entire collection, and a ton of these you just unboxed, I re-started my collection in 89 after I moved and lost my 67 collection in the vinyl carry case in a move!! *Cries* I had a ton of stuff, the original red baron with the black Iron cross and pointy top helmet, the Chaparral, betnik bandit, the club EXCLUSIVE Boss Hoss you could only get when you sent in, a proof of purchase! *Cries* I had the Python, and a few Deoras! I had a green and a purple one! I had the nitty gritty kitty, the heavy chevy, and a few sizzlers! Fun cars! Miss them dealy especially my metallic Pink Sand Crab! Loved that with the smoke top! I lost all them in a stupid move! *cries*

[@montana4069]

Thx for sharing

[@kenmarsh402]

Great seeing the old editionssine cool cars

[@alpine1600s]

It's funny that Hot Wheels made the Chaparral 2E "Wing Car" in the Redlines 25+ years before the Chaparral 2. Which the 2 competed in 1963, and the 2E in 1966.

[@averyseeton4037]

That 63 t bird is insanely fast I have the same one I bought a few years ago and it is my fastest hot wheel out of my 450 car collection. I have a 4 lane track

[@ericmcginnis2097]

The flying aces Dodge charger daytona is sick!!!! I want so bad!

[@marcocinquini1985]

I'd love to have some of these castings and/or variations, mainly original castings(including the realistic ones) that don't seem to be retired.

[@stusbikingandmotors5233]

Cool cars!

[@sirmugman]

this is the kind of unboxing i like, older stuff, that i know 'll be able to buy or get not the newer boxes as i'll want them but i'll never see one or it'll be the t-hunt or super

[@mpaulm]

I started collecting in 2007 and have a couple from the mid-90's including the one at 11:30, which is an unreal car. Good stuff here.

[@_some_car_guy_]

I had so many of these as a kid.

[@eito2391]

Thanks for the cool video, old cars are the best

[@lambonaldo5604]

I have a feeling once the Track Time for these cases will be one of the most exciting.

[@SCDC-Channel]

if you ask me those are all treasure hunts because they are all 20 years old ;)

[@Die-CastMetal]

I’m finding a lot of NIB 98-99 Hot Wheels at the collector shops right now. It is weird to me too...this is when I stated collecting again and some of these I’ve never seen...lol. Thank you!

[@qotsajr]

That Dairy Delivery is a classic. Mine are sitting out on display as I watch.

[@stewpiddewd]

you mentioned the 67 camaro without a country and i literally have one of that same camaro on my shelf near my tv, and sure enough, mine doesnt have the country.

[@spencerhornsey8202]

DaleGrandFury I have two with an origin and one without that is still carded. Do you know if they’re worth anything?

[@stewpiddewd]

When you started coletting back in 1998 did you get the 1998 coleters nascars with pit box

[@geraldsummers8965]

GREAT video I have a older collection myself that I'm in the process of labeling and grading.!!!

[@orangetracktvhotwheels6635]

Do you know if the tape they used to seal the boxes with still say Hot Wheels on the tape like the ones on the boxes you open?

[@03_austindrake88]

A lot of very cool cars in this video. (Example: Super Comp Dragster, Mustang Cobra, '67 Camaro, '32 Ford, '34 Ford, '57 Chevy, the Hershey's Funny Car, etc.) I really, really want that Flying Aces Charger Daytona and that Super Comp Dragster. Great video once again.
