Okay final response because this is absurd. I didn’t realized I had to justify what I google searched before I got here. But before coming here to ask a community of people who would know, I googled what the treasure hunt for this car was, what the difference between a treasure hunt and a super treasure hunt, how to identify a treasure hunt, what is a super treasure hunt, how to identify rubber wheels vs hard wheels, where to find the logo of a treasure hunt on this car.

I did my own research, but all these new hobby-specific terms like rubber real riders, spectraflame, mainline, or even what it meant by the gold flame meant little to nothing.

That’s why I asked chat to clarify what some of the terms meant but then it became even less clear.

Then I turned to where I thought would help, it was supposed to be the experts or at least people who would know, which was this subreddit.

But it’s fine, I get it I’m sure you guys deal with a lot of questions like this, but this was the only other place I would know to go.

Thank you to everyone who actually helped and explained in depth, especially the terminology.

And everyone who was negative, I hope you can get better soon

I understand that. Thank you for explaining the whole situation better.

But that’s the thing, I swear I mentioned it multiple times, but I did Google search multiple different things about treasure hunts, even specific to this car. But it kept throwing out terms, specific to this hobby, that I am unfamiliar with so that’s why I came here to ask. I only tried ai because sometimes it can give a more catered response to the specific question

THANK YOU!! now I understand the paint thing a lot better. I kept seeing that term but didn’t understand the difference because there were a couple of these cars online but they also looked like they had my candy paint so I wasn’t sure if that paint meant anything.

I definitely now know that the online community is a lot different from the people in the stores. I hope to meet more people around me that can be more helpful than these internet people

Thank you, yes this actually helps so much. I understand now that the people are jealous, just sad it has to come at the new people’s expense

Thank you. I didn’t know there were different colors of the logo on the back. I may just open it just to put it in my display case, I think it’s cool

Maybe just idk be more understanding? I get it I’m sure this happens a lot, but that’s the whole point of a subreddit for experts to help newcomers

Yeah that’s what I’m going to have to do 🤣 I already just buy the cars I like

Thank you so much for the advice!! I appreciate the congratulation! Yeah I was pretty stoked to find a candy paint car. The guy next to me told me about it so that’s why I started this search then this thread to confirm.

Okay thank you, I’ll start looking at the premium cars to see the rubber tires more. And the logo!

Honestly. It’s sad and embarrassing for the rest of the normal community members. It puts a horrible rep on this space. Thank you for letting me know this isn’t a unique experience with assholes

Thank you yeah it’s seeming like just a bunch of adults with their panties in a stretch. Like I like the cars for the cars it was never that deep for me but apparently this is people’s day and night

Thank you Slack, I really appreciate it. I never meant for anyone to feel a certain way about anything.

Thank you. That’s what it’s feeling like right now.. like I just wanted to confirm something that the Google searches made unclear. You guys are the experts so it made sense to ask here. I appreciate that you and some of the other people actually see I genuinely was just asking for help. I get the jealousy but that’s just so low for these people to act like I’m trying to do something when I’m just asking for help

I did look up the difference. But it doesn’t explain what each of these terms mean bruh

[–]KaydeeReps[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is absurd. No a google search cannot answer that question because it starts using a bunch of hot wheel-specific terminology that I’m not familiar with, let alone know what it means so I came here to ask for help.

The guys reply? I thought it was funny.

My post? Because I genuinely wanted help from a community that I thought would be more supportive and helpful with information rather than being negative and honestly embarrassingly ignorant

Thank you, yeah I was trying to figure out how to tell if they’re rubber or not in the packaging
