I used to collect modern Hot Wheels, but after they started putting out Super Treasure Hunts I gave up. I liked finding the entire set of Treasure Hunts each year. In 2007 I bought four cases of cars trying to get one STH and ended up with zero. The previous year would have landed me four Treasure Hunts, and the 2006 Treasure Hunts were really amazing cars, whereas the car I was "chasing" was a tooned Camaro that I only wanted to complete my set.
Now I only buy Batmobiles, cars from movies or TV, or really oddball cars. It's just for fun now, as it should be IMO.
I also kept my old Redlines. They are like dinosaurs compared to modern Hot Wheels.
