US Parcel again...

After being sick for almost 2 weeks, suddenly my happy pills has arrived.
Just some stuff bought from a friend in the States.
Also includes some RLC stuff which I had it shipped to him.




Had to go to Pos Malaysia in KLIA to collect my stuff.
It's been awhile since I have to collect the parcel myself, and the Customs decided to slap me with a tax, but still justifiable..


1st Box. 
Not all for me, that would be crazy..
Its a combination of several friends order..


2nd Box.
Yes, this are all mine..
Now I know why my bank account kept depleting.


Canadian Exclusive 8 packs. if I am not mistaken.
Comes with the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7 Jungle Rally with PR5 wheels.
I think this was released a few years back.
Surprisingly the packaging are still mint.


20 pack Exclusives.
Bought the whole box just to get those 4 variations I collect.
These are no longer available in Malaysia, due to the price.


'71 Datsun Bluebird 510 Wagon
This is from RLC.
Rewards membership redemption
Not into collecting these due to the hype,  since its free, why not..


Datsun Bluebird 510
2018 RLC Membership car.
Wonder why does Mattel keep doin this casting..
Its boring, and there many other casting worthy rather than this.
Probably the hype of the casting sells the membership.



RLC Neo Classic Custom Convoy
Bought these due to the price and availability..
Total I think I had about 10 of these..


Mustang Boss Hoss
These are just some stuff available for redemption.
Goes to the trade bin..



Mustang Boss Hoss
RLC Club Exclusive.
Another reward redemption car.
Another one goes to the trade bin.



'69 Camaro
RLC Club Membership car.
Another reward membership redemption.
Goes to the trade bin as well..


Since I purchased 3 boxes of the 2017 Car Culture Premium boxset, I decided to open 1 box.
Just to see the conditions and assortments received.
Saw some of my friends having incomplete set, broken blister, I had my doubts for my boxes as well..


I was so happy that I had a complete assortment on my first box opening.
Decided not to open the other 2.
Keep it sealed till the time comes.



2017 Car Culture RLC Exclusive.
Its been awhile Mattel has the VW Fastback, and the livery is awesome.


I need to get a bigger store room.
These boxes are totally taking up a lot of space.
Till the next updates, keep collecting and have fun at it.
Enjoy the pics.

Cheers.

2018 Car Culture Euro Speed

Received new shipment by Mattel Agent recently.
Another new released for the 2018 Car Culture Series, Euro Speed.
First updated was during the LA convention last year, where as some sneak peeks pictures we given.
1 new casting will be in the 5 pieces set. The other 4 seems to be a familiar faces in the Car Culture Series.

Anyway, check out the picture below..



SKU for Euro Speed.


The unboxing video.
It's been awhile since I did this..
Apologise for the crappy sound..


Completed set of 5.
The graphics on card is so simple.
Nothing fancy at all.


#1/5 - Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA


Nothing fancy.


#2/5 - BMW M1 Procar


Nicely done.



#3/5 - Mercedes Benz 190e 2.5-16


Too simple.
2nd color of its series in black for Car Culture.



#4/5 - Porsche 993 GT2


Too simple for my taste.


Audi R8 LMS


New casting. Nice design.

Out of the 5 cars, I only collect the Porsche 993 and Mers 190e.
Both which are not outstanding at all in terms of tampo design.
But for the sake of having the variation.
Overall, the card looks simple, choices of casting limited, and tampo design are just ok.

Hopefully Mattel is coming up with cool design and more choices on the casting.
Enjoy the pics.

Cheers.

The long awaited, planned, and finally it is here after 2 years..
Collectors Toy Fair KL 4, which was held on the 31st March 2018, in TM Convention Centre Kuala Lumpur..
I am grateful to be able to participate in the event.
But I was a bit sad could not walk around to see those cool toys, meet friends due to busy manning the Hot Wheels Collectors Malaysia booth, which was packed with people most of the time.
We put some stuff on display, on sale and we even have our in-house creative designer Mr Sureash aka Eight doin face paints.
We even had a special Lucky Draw Giveaway, in which we are giving out the Japan Historics Series 1 & 2 as the lucky draw prizes.
