2018 Hot Wheels Honda Series

Honda was founded way back in the 1940's, which they started with motorbikes..
In the late 1960's only they started to go into cars, and till now, they keep coming out with cool design with enhanced engineering, on the road and racing tracks.

Mattel decided to come up with a Special Series for Honda casting for 2018.
Below are the selection of casting which included in the Series.
Not sure whether they gonna continue with some of the Honda casting left out.

As for Malaysian market, it was sold at selected toy shops, and TRU, but from what I heard, for US market it would a released as Walmart/Kmart Exclusive. I might be wrong.
If they do, would it come with a card variation? Hopefully not..

It comes in a box of 36.

If you are lucky to open a sealed case, it comes with 4 sets of 8 and 4 extra cars, in this case was he Honda EF, 2006 Honda Civic Si, Honda Odyssey and Honda Racer.

Had some info from other friends, whom open their cases and not having 4 sets, some got 3 sets, some got 2 sets with multiple other casting

#01/08

1985 Honda CRX

#02/08

'90 Honda Civic EF.

Even they have these extra, it will be flying out from the pegs in split seconds..

#03/08

Honda Civic Si

Another sort after casting.

#04/08

'06 Honda Civic Si.

Not many seems to like this, probably the choice of color and wheels.

#05/08

Honda Monkey Z50.

#06/08

Honda Racer.

Wonder why the choose this casting?

Digging the wheels thou.

#07/08

Honda S2000

#08/08

Honda Odyssey

The color make it look like a Proton Exora, local car manufacturer.

Still wondering thou why does the Honda Civic EP3 and Honda Integra didn't make the cut for the series.. or probably Mattel has a 2nd released for the Series.

However, the price for these series in the after market has rises tremendously, so get yours while its cheap..


Enjoy the pics...
Cheers.

2018 Hot Wheels Assortment E & F

Received these cases a few weeks back, only realised I have yet to post them up.

Well here goes..

2018 Hot Wheels 72pcs Assortment International Case E and F.

I missed out the previous B,C and D cases. So I am unsure whether some of the cars was released recently.

 2018 Case E #C4982-99AEEL

The 72pcs assortment.

Not much JDM included in the case, but some new casting and recolored casting making appearances. 

New Color for the 180sx.

New color as well for the T2 pickup

New Casting - Mercedes '16 AMG GT3

Can't wait for the next releases in the Euro Speed Project Cars series.

Probably I add this to the collection.

'71 Porsche 911.

Not sure whether this is a new casting.

But the design is simple, clean slick.

This casting is such a badass..

Looking forward for some new color and design.

Buns of Steel.

I wonder why did Mattel comes out with this.

But on the other hand, this can be used in multiple custom design.

Haven't seen this casting for a while, and it comes with Valentine's tampo.

'16 Cadillac ATS-V R

I know this is new but not digging the look.

Probably a better tampo design would make this thing pop..

2018 Hot Wheels 72pcs Assortment Case F.

#C4982-99AFFK

#C4982-99AFFN

#C4982-99AFFK - Assortment

This has better casting choices compared to Case E.

#C4982-99AFFN Assortment.

Not many Hot Wheels original which is great.

The casting  not so popular, but a must have for MoonEyes Collector.

Porsche 917 LH

New casting, nice design, a must have for GULF Collectors.

I don't think this is a new casting, coz I remember there is a similar design or name from previous years.

Anyway, this has a Treasure Hunt$, unluckily I didn't get them in the case.

Another recolor for the Kenmeri.

Another recolor foe the Custom 240z.

I like this color thou.

First FK2R with tampo.

Digging the tampo.. Wonder how many recolor Mattel would do for this.

New tampo design for the fiesta.

Guess what?

Its a new series introduce by Mattel.

Checkmate Series.

Similar to Chess.. Wonder what casting will be included in the series.

Good Luck collectors.

New color for the Challenger SRT. 

Simple. 

 

New color again for the BS.

I stop collecting this years ago..

Wonder how the packaging team manage to include the J-Hook.

It's kinda thick too..

Hope this helps.

Enjoy the pics.

Cheers.
