If you are lucky enough to be able to drive a Lamborghini Gallardo, this is what you don’t do. Don’t try to play Tetris in traffic.

If you have deep pockets, maybe you can find a bargain on real Lamborghinis on Ebay. If you pockets aren’t so deep, or have holes in them like mine, you can look for a wide variety of Hot Wheels Lamborghinis on Ebay or search your local toy section for this 2012 New Model Lamborghini Aventador.

This year, Mattel brought us a new spin on Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts so collectors actually have to “hunt” for the cars instead of just looking for the green stripe on the side that we’ve all become so accustomed to. These “Hidden” Treasure Hunts are variations on some of the regular series issues. The Hidden Treasure Hunts replace the old “Super” Treasure Hunts from recent years. These are harder to find than this year’s Treasure Hunt Series. The variations feature Spectraflame paint, upgraded wheels, Treasure Hunt logos, and different packaging.

The 2012-110 ’67 Chevelle SS 396 Hidden Treasure Hunt from the Muscle Mania – GM ’12 Series is currently fetching around $20. The regular issue in red is valued at $2.00 and the newer green recolor is currently valued at $3.00.
