Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunts and other misc purchases

Readers of the blog as well as watches of the YouTube channel will have noticed a significant decrease in the number of videos and blog posts since July - this was mostly down to nothing significant arriving in the stores locally, along with almost nothing available to import from overseas. That being said, the odd purchase has come in during the quiet time but has often just been a single item which never translates well into an exciting video or blog post.

Back in June I organised the purchase of a Super Treasure Hunt from HWCNZ but sadly even though tracking advised it was delivered, I arrived home from work to find no evidence of any new parcels. thankfully HWCNZ assisted in starting the lost parcel process from New Zealand Post, and after a few weeks of back and forth, HWCNZ advised he had received a refund and then passed that back to me. As a result of not having a Super Treasure Hunt I wanted, I asked around the Facebook group if anyone had one they wished to part with. My good friend from the capital city got in touch, and a few days later I had a new Super Treasure Hunt to add to the collection.

A few weeks after the above arrival, my good friend from the capital city posted a Super Treasure Hunt sale list on the Facebook group, and I expressed my interest in a few of them. Eventually I was advised that I was successful in getting what I wanted and then asked if I could add in another item and a few days later I had another parcel at work.

Another good contact advised via the Facebook group that he was over in Australia and was able to get the Ghostbusters 2 car sets; I advised that I was interested in the 2016 Ecto-1 and Ecto-2 set and then waited to see what would happen. Several weeks later I was advised by a parcel containing the set arriving in the mail and so made contact with the sender to see what I owed.

Thanks mainly to restocks, I was able to add a few more L/M and Matchbox cars to the collection over several weeks.
