Chase Day

  • Petersen Automotive Museum - Petersen Store 1st Floor Lobby 6060 Wilshire Boulevard Los Angeles, CA, 90036 United States (map)

Gear Up for Chase Day!

Are you tired of hitting the pegs only to find they’ve been picked clean? We hear you. To celebrate our incredible collector community and level the playing field, we’re hosting an exclusive Chase Day event designed for the true enthusiasts.

The Main Event: 10 AM 

The hunt begins the moment the doors open. The first 20 people in the store at 10 AM will get an exclusive opportunity:

  • Case Breaks: You’ll have the first crack at opening our basic Hot Wheels cases.

  • The Ultimate Prize: This is your best shot at finding a Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunt (STH) vehicle before it ever hits the shelf. (Super Treasures are not guaranteed; it's all luck) 

Hidden Gems Throughout the Store

The hunt doesn't stop at the cases! We’ve seeded the entire store with "chase" vehicles from your favorite diecast brands. Keep your eyes peeled for rare finds from:

  • Hot Wheels (Treasure Hunts & Chases)

  • Mini GT

  • Greenlight Collectibles

  • Johnny Lightning

  • ...and many more!

Why We’re Doing This

We know the struggle of "the wild" all too well. Our community has voiced how difficult it has become to find these rare pieces due to the rise of resellers and scalpers.

We believe collecting should be about the thrill of the hunt and the passion for the hobby, not just who gets there at 3 AM. This event is our way of ensuring these hard-to-find vehicles end up in the hands of the collectors who truly appreciate them.

Come down, swap stories with fellow collectors, and let’s find some "soup!"
