Found the retro TV/Movie Hot Wheels for the first time yesterday. Saw Ecto-1, KITT, and the Mystery Machine yesterday. Didn't like the idea of paying $5 for slightly fancier versions of $1 cars I had just bought in the last couple years so I passed on them.
I had to pick these up though only because I haven't seen them before. Now the only one I'm looking for is the Muppet Bus.

Stopped at a Kmart for the Hot Wheels event. I was 1 of 20 the last 2 times... I was 1 of 6 today. Got 2 treasure hunts and 1 secret treasure hunts.
No retro or Looney Tunes at any of 12 stores... and Cars selection has been terrible

I did get a full set of the 7 First to market and special color cars; I wasn't sure that I did.
To answer your questions... The advertised assortments didn't do much for a lot of people... I'm not even sure I bought all 7 first time Cars... knowing the full case assortment would have helped... also, at the November event there were 20 people but only 2 master cartons or 8 cases total - not everyone got what they wanted... I stopped at another Kmart an hour later - they only had 12 cars left from the event... so I think people went to other stores or didn't go at all.
I left my reading glasses at home; fortunately, the other 5 people there told me what the treasure hunt and secret treasure hunt were... 6 of 12 cases had the secret treasure hunt - everyone made sure each of us had 1 secret treasure hunt... everyone got 2 treasure hunts (1 per case).

Saw a full case of these at the Muncie Meijer this afternoon... thought about it... could have gotten 2 full sets of 6... but I put them back on the pegs after taking the picture.

I finally found Case A retro today at my Walmart. $4.99 each and it kinda stings. Definitely softening my excitement for the line. But there are some good cars coming. Hmmmm...
