A Trip to Jakarta - February 2018

I was away for a vacation in Jakarta, Indonesia last weekend..
No hunt intention as I just felt the need to get away from work and life..
Had a great time there despite the rain, landslides and flood..
Wish a speedy recovery for Jakarta.

Stumbled upon a toy shop in Senayan City as I was making my way for dinner at The Halal Guys..

As I was walking off, the I saw this..

Kidz Station, Senayan City..

This is where it all started.. Already said to myself earlier, no diecast hunts during the trip, especially in Asean countries as the Collectors here are very enthusiastic bunch of people.. 

I do love to see what are available in in stores as usually the stuff offers differs from country to country.

Malaysia use to have this, sold out rather fast especially with hot cars attached to it, or even missing the hot cars.

There is plenty of this here.. and the price are good too..
The only problem is space in my luggage..
Such a hassle to pack and shipped them back to Malaysia..

Pretty nice Track set options. But crappy cars which stops me from buying them.

Mainlines options.

There are at least 400pcs of HW Originals and peg warmers..

Not even worthy muscle cars available.

And at RM10 per piece, I bet its gonna stay there till the next promotion.

Pretty decent assortments available, but peg warmers similar to Malaysia..

But the BMW Series can get a whole set.

And then I saw this..

Japan Historics 2 on the peg.

Not complaining thou even if there was only 2 type of castings available.

Took all JH2, and some Pop Culture and some Retro Entertainment cars.. 

Pretty decent assortments for Majorette Trucks.

Luckily not into these yet..

Some Tomica assortments.

More tomica cars..

This was on display and for kids to play with..

Such a huge playset..

Thinking of getting one for myself.

This sums up the purchased I made for the day..

Such a lucky find.

But then, things doesn't stop there...

Just opposite the apartment is a Shopping Mall named Central Park, Location Grogol.

Walk myself inside as the rains stops me from going anywhere else and with the flood warning given by the Government..

And the buying begins....

Tomica Cool Drive assortments.. Decent thou..

The only decent bunch of cars found, and sorted it nicely at them pegs..

Some cool Hot Wheels stuff, but only took the Pop Culture..

This was what I bought during the afternoon trip.

This sums up the purchased I made during the trip.

Not all for me, I bought for my friends too..

I was told that there are many other places to hunt around Jakarta area, but that was not the main reason I am there.. Decided to chill out rather than stress myself to go around the absolute busy traffic of Jakarta.

They do have places like Alpahe Maret and Indo Maret which similar to 7-Elevens and MyNews back in Malaysia.. Saw some Hot Wheels available there but nothing attracts me.

Had a great vacation, scored some neat stuff, and I am happy..

Now, need to save up for more vacation trip..

Enjoy the pics.

Cheers.
