2027 collector tracker • early case reports
2027 Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts are appearing in specialist case reports. Case A pairs the El Segundo Coupe regular Treasure Hunt with the ’64 Lincoln Continental Super Treasure Hunt. Case B reports the High-Tail Chaser and BMW M4 GT3. For Case C, an unboxing names GT Hunter, while separate collector catalogs list Gazella R; the model-name and JPD12 part-number mapping remains unresolved.
The 2027 Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunt list currently contains eight specialist-reported models, not eight independently verified sealed-carton inventories. This page tracks reported case associations, identification clues, unresolved details and future case slots without assuming the full year has been announced.
Research checked: November 1, 2026; source material reviewed through October 31, 2026. Collector-reported information, not a complete manufacturer-issued 2027 checklist. Retail timing varies by region.
How to read this tracker: Corroborated means multiple useful sources agree on the named pairing. Specialist-reported or Catalog-listed means collector documentation exists but is not the same as a complete authenticated case manifest. Disputed flags a naming or assignment conflict. Unreported means no sufficiently supported entry yet.
2027 Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt case tracker: A–Q
The full mainline case sequence contains A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P and Q. The table below separates the first three reported mainline case groups from later Super Treasure Hunt model previews. A Super associated with a letter is not guaranteed in every physical carton, and the unknown regular TH entries are intentionally left open.
| Mix | Regular TH | Super TH / specialist lead | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | El Segundo Coupe | ’64 Lincoln Continental | Corroborated |
| B | High-Tail Chaser | BMW M4 GT3 (Case B best-supported; an early preliminary Case C assignment was superseded) | Specialist-reported |
| C | GT Hunter (Case C unboxing) / Gazella R (separate catalog entry; relationship unresolved) | Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition (Case C best-supported; conflicting Mix E catalog entry); ’87 Dodge D100 (C in October 28 roundup; D elsewhere) | Disputed |
| D | Not established | ’87 Dodge D100 (D in several specialist lists); ’88 Mitsubishi Starion (D in some catalogs; E elsewhere) | Disputed |
| E | Not established | ’88 Mitsubishi Starion (E in some catalogs; D elsewhere) | Disputed |
| F | Not established | Ferrari 12Cilindri (Mix F in multiple specialist reports; identification details still disputed) | Specialist-reported |
| G | Not established | Porsche 911 Carrera T (listed G); Shelby G in another catalog | Disputed |
| H | Not established | ’67 Shelby GT500 (listed H by HWtreasure; G elsewhere) | Disputed |
| J | Not reported | Not reported | Unreported |
| K | Not reported | Not reported | Unreported |

Important: Cases D–H list reported Super Treasure Hunt associations, not verified complete case inventories. The ’87 Dodge D100 is listed as D by several specialist sources but as C in an October 28 roundup; the ’88 Mitsubishi Starion has D/E listings. The Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition is best-supported as Case C, although another catalog lists Mix E. The regular TH names and later case assignments remain separate questions. Do not treat “Gazella R” and “GT Hunter” as synonyms without packaging or part-number evidence.
2027 Regular Treasure Hunt checklist: first three cases
Regular Treasure Hunts are specially marked basic-line vehicles, rather than the same product class as a Super Treasure Hunt. Case A is consistently supported by early specialist references. Case B is supported by specialist coverage, although collector records differ on High-Tail Chaser’s collection number. Case C requires more care because the case unboxing and separate collector catalogs use different model names and part-number mappings.
| Case | Regular Treasure Hunt model | Reported collection position | Color and reference | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | El Segundo Coupe | 18/250 · HW Hall of Famers 1/5 | Yellow · JPD10 | Corroborated |
| B | High-Tail Chaser | 49/250 is better-supported; one catalog lists 48/250 · Mid-Engines 3/5 | Blue · JPD11 reported | Specialist-reported |
| C | GT Hunter in Case C unboxing; Gazella R is a separate catalog entry | 73/250 is reported for GT Hunter; Speed Blur fractional position is unresolved | JPD12 is listed against Gazella R in another catalog; mapping to GT Hunter is unverified | Disputed |
On smaller screens, swipe horizontally to view all columns.
Case A: El Segundo Coupe
The yellow El Segundo Coupe is reported as 18/250 in HW Hall of Famers 1/5, with toy reference JPD10. It is part of the first documented 2027 mainline mix. This detail is more useful than guessing when a particular local retailer will receive cartons.
Case B: High-Tail Chaser
Specialist data most often identifies the blue High-Tail Chaser as 49/250, Mid-Engines 3/5, reference JPD11. One catalog lists 48/250, so the collection number should be treated as better-supported rather than universally settled. Case B is the best-supported regular TH association; one catalog’s conflicting Case A entry does not outweigh the specialist Case B coverage. Do not confuse High-Tail Chaser with the blue BMW M4 GT3 Super Treasure Hunt reported in the same mix.
Case C: GT Hunter or Gazella R?
A documented Case C unboxing names GT Hunter as the regular Treasure Hunt. Separate collector catalogs list Gazella R as another 2027 entry, with JPD12 associated with Gazella R in at least one catalog. The available records do not establish that GT Hunter and Gazella R are the same casting or that JPD12 belongs to GT Hunter.
For now: identify GT Hunter as the Case C unboxing report and list Gazella R separately as a catalog-reported 2027 entry. The GT Hunter fractional series position is unresolved: published catalog records differ (including 3/5, 4/5 and 4/10). Do not substitute the 2026 Gazella GT from Case Q; it is a different entry from the previous model year.
2027 Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunt list: eight reported previews
The following eight 2027 Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunt models appear in specialist reporting. Their identities have more published support than a complete assortment distribution. Case A’s Lincoln Continental is the strongest early pairing. Case B’s BMW M4 GT3 is also supported by later specialist case coverage; its earlier preliminary Case C assignment was superseded. The Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition is best-supported as Case C, while several later mix assignments remain disputed or catalog-listed rather than physically verified.
| Reported Super TH | Reported mix | Finish and identification | Number / code where supported | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ’64 Lincoln Continental | A | Spectraflame purple · whitewall Real Riders | 38/250 · Best in Class 1/5 · JPD26 | Corroborated |
| BMW M4 GT3 | B reported | Spectraflame blue · Real Riders | 63/250 · Nightspeed 5/10 · JPD27 | Specialist-reported |
| Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition | Case C best-supported; conflicting Mix E catalog entry | Spectraflame green · yellow accents · Real Riders | 59/250 · Throwback Cruisers 6/10 · JPD25 reported | Disputed |
| ’87 Dodge D100 | D in several specialist lists; C in October 28 HW Price Guide roundup | Spectraflame green · off-road Real Riders | HW Dirt · JPD28 reported | Disputed |
| ’88 Mitsubishi Starion | D/E assignment disputed | Spectraflame teal/blue · Real Riders | 118/250 · Factory Fresh position disputed (3/10 vs 3/5) · JPD29 reported | Disputed |
| Ferrari 12Cilindri | F in multiple specialist reports | Yellow/gold Spectraflame appearance · Real Riders | JPC34 / JPD34 disputed; STH collection number not established | Disputed |
| Porsche 911 Carrera T | G listed by HWtreasure | Spectraflame red · white stripes · Real Riders | Toy number, collection number and series position not established | Catalog-listed |
| ’67 Shelby GT500 | G/H assignment disputed | Spectraflame yellow/gold · black stripes · Real Riders | JXXGG appears in one catalog but is not physically verified; collection number and series position not established | Disputed |
On smaller screens, swipe horizontally to view all columns.
Watch for the Porsche 911 Carrera T and ’67 Shelby GT500 entries. HWtreasure lists the Porsche in G and the Shelby in H; another collector catalog lists the Shelby in G. The Porsche’s toy number, collection number and series position are not established in the records reviewed. The Shelby’s JXXGG code appears in one catalog but has not been verified against packaging. These differences remain visible rather than being converted into a confirmed order.
Ferrari terminology: the Ferrari 12Cilindri was already a mainline casting in 2026; the reported 2027 Super Treasure Hunt is a special version of that existing casting. Sources describe its finish as yellow or gold and list competing toy codes, JPC34 and JPD34. The STH’s own collection number has not been established in the records reviewed. Do not transfer the standard 2027 mainline car’s collection number to the STH. Neither a future price nor a fixed case-insertion rate can be derived from these descriptions.
Which early 2027 Super Treasure Hunt pairings are most reliable?
Case A: ’64 Lincoln Continental
Specialist Case A coverage identifies a purple ’64 Lincoln Continental Super Treasure Hunt. Catalog references consistently list 38/250, Best in Class 1/5 and JPD26. Spectraflame purple and whitewall-style Real Riders make it visually distinct from a typical basic mainline release. The case association is strongly corroborated; that still does not guarantee every A carton contains one.
Case B: BMW M4 GT3
The BMW M4 GT3 has a blue Spectraflame Super Treasure Hunt report, with 63/250, Nightspeed 5/10 and JPD27 appearing in specialist catalogs. An August 3 preliminary list placed it in C, but a later August 25 update moved it to B; September 30 Case B coverage and the October 13 updated list also identify B. Case B is therefore the best-supported specialist-reported assignment, not an official Mattel case confirmation.
Case C: Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition is the best-supported assignment
October packaging and unboxing coverage supports the Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition as the Case C Super Treasure Hunt. An October 28 collector roundup lists the model in Mix E, so the conflicting catalog entry should remain disclosed. Case C is the better-supported specialist-reported assignment, not an official Mattel confirmation. Later specialist reports and catalogs use DB5 Safari Edition; an earlier preliminary preview used DBS, which appears to have been superseded. The reported identification includes Spectraflame green, yellow accents, number 60 graphics and off-road Real Riders. The number 60 is a vehicle graphic, not its collection number.
Cases D–H: reported models and unresolved assignments
Specialist catalogs describe a green ’87 Dodge D100, teal/blue ’88 Mitsubishi Starion, yellow/gold Ferrari 12Cilindri, red Porsche 911 Carrera T and yellow/gold ’67 Shelby GT500. The D100 is listed as D by several specialist sources but as C in an October 28 roundup. The Starion appears under D and E. The Ferrari is reported in F, but its JPC34/JPD34 code and yellow/gold finish descriptions differ. HWtreasure lists the Porsche in G and the Shelby in H, while another catalog lists the Shelby in G. These are reported associations, not five verified complete case inventories. Keep regular TH slots for these cases blank until the models are documented.
How to spot a 2027 Super Treasure Hunt at retail
Collectors sometimes identify a car by paint color or an online listing alone. That’s not enough. Use a combination of model identity, body marking, wheel construction and card details. The same practical checks apply in 2027 as in previous years.
| What to inspect | Regular Treasure Hunt (TH) | Super Treasure Hunt (STH) |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle marking | Typically a flame-in-circle symbol on the car. | A distinct “TH” mark incorporated into the vehicle graphics. |
| Paint | Usually conventional mainline paint; color varies by model. | Special Spectraflame-style finish associated with the Super version. |
| Wheels | Typically mainline plastic wheels. | Real Riders wheels with rubber tires. |
| Card / blister area | On some card types, a silver flame-circle mark behind the vehicle. | On some card types, a gold flame-circle mark behind the vehicle. |
| Final check | Compare casting, markings and collector documentation. | Check paint + wheels + TH markings together; packaging can vary by region. |
On smaller screens, swipe horizontally to view all columns.
Read the case-letter and model-year information. A 2026 car appearing in late 2026 is not automatically part of a 2027 mix.
Compare the casting name and car number with a specialist photo or actual card. Do not substitute a similarly named concept casting.
Match the complete set of identification cues, especially on suspected Supers. A shiny basic car is not sufficient.
Note the location, case mix, date, photographed packaging and source so later corrections can be checked.
Understanding 2027 Hot Wheels case letters A–Q
The standard 2027 mainline sequence follows 15 mix letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P and Q. The letters I and O are skipped. Case C does not mean March, and a listing under a case letter does not guarantee the product is in every store or every physical carton.
A master carton commonly uses a 72-car basic assortment format, but collector lists of newly documented models are not complete carton manifests. Cartons can include earlier carryovers; even where a Super Treasure Hunt is associated with a mix, a Super is not guaranteed in a carton. Exact rarity odds or fixed production quantities have not been independently established here.
For detailed label examples, read our Hot Wheels case code guide. For other new castings and Case A–C highlights beyond Treasure Hunts, visit the 2027 Hot Wheels Releases Hub.
Are 2027 Super Treasure Hunt resale prices reliable yet?
No fixed fair value is established by an early preview. Asking prices, preorders, seller estimates and incomplete listings are not the same as completed sales. The research workbook supplied dollar ranges for several models, but it did not provide dated transactions or a consistent market sample. We have therefore not repeated those figures as market values.
When you are ready to compare prices, use completed or sold listings for the exact casting and card variant, then account for shipping, fees, card condition and the country of sale. A U.S. long card and an international short card can attract different buyers, but neither format has a universal premium. If the current mix is still moving through stores, a speculative launch asking price may settle.
For buying decisions, see our collector buying guides and Super Treasure Hunt rarity explainer. No “1 in 1,000” claim is made because this research does not establish an official universal insertion ratio.
How to plan a 2027 Treasure Hunt collection without guessing
Start your 2027 wishlist with the models that have actual collector reporting, and keep “previewed casting” separate from “case-verified find.” Save card photographs if available, log your retailer and region, and mark uncertain entries for later review rather than treating the whole 2027 checklist as complete.
- For Cases A–B: record the reported TH/STH pairings and check matching product details.
- For Case C: list GT Hunter as the unboxing-reported regular TH and Gazella R as a separate catalog entry; do not merge the two without casting or part-number evidence. Treat the Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition as Case C best-supported, with a conflicting Mix E listing.
- For D–H: preserve the D100 D/C, Starion D/E and Shelby G/H conflicts; list Ferrari 12Cilindri as Mix F specialist-reported and Porsche 911 Carrera T as G catalog-listed. Do not fill regular TH slots based on STH previews.
- For J–Q: leave model names blank until credible reports appear.
- For every trade or purchase: prioritize photographed packaging, model numbers, condition and verifiable completed-sales data.
Watch: 2027 Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts and Super TH previews

Sources, confidence levels and correction policy
This independent tracker compiles collector-documented case lists, specialist unboxing summaries and model catalogs reviewed through October 31, 2026. The cross-page editorial review was prepared November 1, 2026. It is not a complete Mattel-issued mainline master list. Case contents, toy numbers and country-specific card details are updated only when better reporting justifies a change.
Two examples of specialist reporting used in the case comparison are the Case C unboxing summary and the October 28 Super Treasure Hunt preview roundup. Both are third-party collector sources, not Mattel announcements; they do not eliminate all conflicts.
Current unresolved details: Case C regular TH identity and JPD12 mapping (GT Hunter versus separate Gazella R catalog entry); D100 D/C placement; Starion D/E placement and Factory Fresh fraction; Ferrari JPC34/JPD34 code and yellow/gold finish descriptions; Shelby G/H placement; GT Hunter’s Speed Blur fraction; and all later regular TH slots without sufficient reports. The Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition is best-supported as Case C, with a conflicting Mix E catalog entry. The eight-model Super preview is a watchlist, not eight authenticated sealed-case inventories.
2027 Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt tracker: summary
As of the November 1, 2026 editorial review, Cases A and B have identifiable regular and Super Treasure Hunt reports. Case C has a regular TH name/part mapping conflict; the Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition is best-supported as its Super, although another catalog lists Mix E. Specialist previews list eight Super Treasure Hunt models across Cases A–H, but several later case assignments and identification details remain disputed. The regular TH checklist for later mixes is incomplete.
Keep using this page as an evolving collector reference. New cases, genuine packaging evidence and substantive corrections can be added without rewriting the early-year history or claiming future releases have already happened.

Frequently asked questions about 2027 Treasure Hunts
Which regular Treasure Hunts are reported for 2027 Cases A, B and C?
Case A reports the El Segundo Coupe, and Case B reports the High-Tail Chaser. A documented Case C unboxing names GT Hunter. Separate collector catalogs list Gazella R as another 2027 entry, with part number JPD12 associated with Gazella R in one catalog.
Current evidence does not establish that GT Hunter and Gazella R are the same casting or confirm Gazella R as the Case C regular Treasure Hunt. The naming and part-number mapping remain unresolved.
How many 2027 Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunts have been reported?
Specialist reports reviewed through October 31, 2026, list eight models: the ’64 Lincoln Continental, BMW M4 GT3, Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition, ’87 Dodge D100, ’88 Mitsubishi Starion, Ferrari 12Cilindri, Porsche 911 Carrera T, and ’67 Shelby GT500. That is a preview count, not a confirmed complete annual checklist.
What is the Super Treasure Hunt in 2027 Case A?
The ’64 Lincoln Continental is the specialist-documented Case A Super Treasure Hunt. It is reported in Spectraflame purple, with whitewall Real Riders, as model 38/250 in Best in Class 1/5. A Super is never guaranteed in every physical carton.
Is the 2027 Case C Treasure Hunt GT Hunter or Gazella R?
A documented Case C unboxing identifies GT Hunter as the regular Treasure Hunt. Gazella R appears as a separate 2027 collector-catalog entry, with JPD12 associated with it in one catalog.
Available evidence does not establish that both names refer to the same casting or confirm Gazella R’s Case C placement. HotWheelsHub keeps the entries separate until stronger packaging or part-number evidence becomes available.
Is the Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition confirmed as the Case C Super Treasure Hunt?
October packaging and unboxing coverage supports the Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition as the Case C Super Treasure Hunt. However, an October 28 collector roundup lists the model in Mix E. Case C is the better-supported specialist-reported assignment, but it is not an official Mattel confirmation. The conflicting Mix E catalog entry remains undisclosed.
How do you identify a 2027 Super Treasure Hunt?
Check for the correct casting, special Spectraflame-style paint, Real Riders rubber tires, and the TH marking on the car. Some cards also have a gold flame-circle emblem behind the blister. Compare all clues together with trusted photographs because packaging can vary.
Which case letters are used for 2027 Hot Wheels mainlines?
There are 15 conventional mix letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, and Q. I and O are skipped. The letter identifies an assortment, not a calendar month or guaranteed retailer arrival date.
What are the odds of finding a 2027 Super Treasure Hunt, and what is it worth?
A universal official 2027 insertion rate has not been established in the sources reviewed. A case association does not guarantee a Super in any carton. For pricing, compare dated completed sales of the exact model and card variant rather than relying on speculative pre-release asking prices.
