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.

Shopping spree on the bay

Yet again another bunch of parcel arrived from the States.
Just some  shopped items from ebay and instagram delivered by our dedicated proxy.
It had some troubles upon reaching Malaysian Customs, in which they insisted to slap with a huge tax due to the declaration form contains details such a shirts and hundreds of items in them..

But then they decided to slap us with the normal charges upon providing them invoices and details of purchased.
Lucky us...

Here are just some of the items delivered..
As some of us would say, our humble haul...

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 Car Culture Japan Historics 2

"The term "Japanese domestic market" refers to Japan's home market for vehicles. For the importer, these terms refers to vehicles and parts designed to conform to Japanese regulations and to suit Japanese buyers.

Japanese domestic market vehicles may differ greatly from the cars that Japanese manufacturers build for export and vehicles derived from the same platforms built in other countries. The Japanese car owner looks more toward innovation than long-term ownership which forces Japanese car makers to refine new technologies and designs first in domestic vehicles." - Wikipedia

The long anticipated Car Culture series finally hits the Malaysian Market..
For Japanese car fans, this is the continuation from the 2016 Japan Historics, and here is the lates Japan Historics 2.
