Everybody is looking for Treasure Hunts! But the real treasures might be Errors. They are much harder to find than Treasure Hunts!

    I never realized how collectable errors were in the past. But recently, I've noticed how much more unique errors can be. I skipped a Ken Block Fiesta missing the front wheels, but then I was told they were special so I drove back as quickly as possible to buy it! :D This video's helped me see the other possible errors to spot.

    Your right! Errors are only worth what someone will pay for them. A good example of that is that I saw a 2012 Super TH have a so called "major paint error" for sale on Ebay. I didn't think it was major, and the person was selling it for $175! I'm not suprised that nobody offered to buy it!

    Good talk. It's a shame that more and more people try to collect things for the monetary value rather than the joy of collecting. They think because it seems rare it's worth more money. But like you said, it's only worth what someone is willing to pay. Loving those T-buckets. They remind me so much of one of my all-time favorite castings, the Hot Heap!!

    Since they come from maylasia and someone makes a profit even at $1.00 each , I'm not shocked that quality control is about as reliable as a plumbers estimate . I had a summer job in a Plant that made bottled items and the job paid really well in 1974 . I spotted the odd bad plastic bottle and a chipped glass one right at the screw-on cap spot , there were even defective screw-on caps that would have just made it into the box for retail stores. The pay made me want to keep the job ........maybe some of the workers fear being seen as a malcontent pointing out minor issues when the Stores might catch serious error and treat like damage inventory and eat the loss.

    I agree. There's no physical price guide on errors because errors are not planned by the company. So, if you come up to an error, make sure you found it, don't buy errors off eBay or someone you don't know because that error might have been orchestrated.

I'd love to show you the few I have but I'm a complete novice at making and posting videos. I have the yellow 458 Lamborghini with two windshields - a blue corvette grand sport that didn't get snapped in the back all the way - a flipped around real rider porsche - a gold delorean with a missing hatch.

    That would be an ALW Error (All Large Wheels). That is an awesome piece for two reasons. It is on a Treasure Hunt release and it is on a fan-favorite model! As for how Rare, it is pretty rare. By the way, this video is one of the few where I allow Video Responses if people want to share their Errors. Remember, kid-friendly, be respectful, and try to keep it as short as possible.

    6674shorty That is not the correct use of the term 'scalper'. A scalper is somebody who takes a currently available item and re-sells it at a higher price. On that note, if you find something in the stores and you want to buy them all, that is your prerogative. Whether you buy them for yourself to hoard, to give to friends or to re-sell, they are yours to do with whatever you decide.

    I don't really collect errors, but if I see one that looks pretty cool, I'll probably buy it (like the white HW Racing 57 Chevy I recently picked up that had all large wheels). Most of the errors I see just have messed up paint, tape or paper in the package (or in the case of a Challenger Drift Car, jammed in the back window), or messed up bases or wheels. Saw a '62 Mustang concept with large PR5s in the rear (and the correct wheels in front) a few months back, which I kind of regret passing up.

    A more recent example: I was looking at me and my brother's Gotta Go car, and I realized something was wrong. On a normal Gotta Go, the seat moves up and down as the car rolls; on our Gotta Go, you have to move the seat manually. I think it has the wrong set of rear wheels (Regular 5-Spoke (5SP) instead of the Modified 5-Spoke (M5SP) it's supposed to have). Of course, that's just my guess.

    I have a matchbox with an unspun base, which is pretty rare.

    I don't think that the Avalanche is currently available from any of the diecast brands. Last year, Mattel had a pink version.

    What about a misaligned clear packaging? Is that a common error?
