2017 Car Culture Modern Classic

Recently Hot Wheels released their new Car Culture series for 2017..
Modern Classic. Code #DJF77-956K
Quite good selection of cars especially the First Edition Mercedes 190e.
Simple design with decent tampo and fine lines..
One of the worth keeping set IMHO..

Manage to secure some cases/sets for my buyers..

Hard to come by nowadays.

Check out the unboxing boxset video below..

The complete set of 5.

Awesome card design.

#1/5 - '92 BMW M3.

Decent design, hate those wheels thou..
Should have use the previous wheels from the Road Race Series instead.

#2/5 - '85 Honda CR-X

Its kinda hard to get a nice design/tampo for this car..
From the whole CRX variation, only a piece or 2 looks worthy..

#3/5 - Porsche 964..
Simple yet elegant.. Goin bonkers for demm wheels..

Good job Mattel

#4/5 - Renault 5 Turbo

The most underated car in the series.

But this time I think Mattel hit a spot for this among collectors.

#5/5 - Mercedes Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evo II

The most awaited casting after so many sneak preview goin on the internet.

Simple design, nice detailing and those wheels hit the spot.

This surprisingly comes in a short wave in Malaysia market..

Sold out quite fast among collectors.

 Enjoy the pics.. and feel free to comment.
Cheers...

On the same nite, I did manage to get a second piece of the Super Street Nissan Skyline.
A member wanted to sell due to a slight defect on the left front window panel.

Here are some pics...

 

Now, a carded and a loose piece..

Together with some of the loose family..

Then on Sunday, met a fellow collector from Indonesia. He brought a lot of new carded for trade, which mostly, none can be found here..
Some of the were from the new TH '63 T-Bird wave, which just landed to Indonesia market last week..
Manage to do a trade with him.. Got myself my favorite casting. Morris Mini 2011.

Sweet..

Close-up..

Darn.. Immediately it went loose...

A bit disappointed thou.. 

Coz it has a plastic body compared to the previous siblings.

Side view.

As usual, a carded and loose..

TH '63 T-Bird

Nothing fancy about this casting.

Gonna skip this casting thou...

Its kinda ugly to me..

One of the casting collected.

Need to get this one carded thou..

Something simple and nice..

Probably would look good on Speed Machine Series.

And later that nite, went to KLCC for some lite shopping, found this at Isetan and Parkson.
New waves hits Isetan, and Parkson restock with Garage Series.. Nice..
Hope this continues with newer waves...

Got them not for me, just fulfilling some members wishlist..

'66 Chevy Nova

Custom '69 VW Squareback
