As the final releases of 2021 mainline cases begin to hit shelves, we wanted to look back at the 2020 Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunts and discuss our favorites. As probably ALL of you would agree, 2020 was a year to forget, however it was a year that brought people new hobbies and interests due to the pandemic.
