From a galaxy far far away....

The title says it all..

Here are the 2017 Pop Culture Star Wars.
Case # DLB45-934L

Comes with 12pcs Carded, 2 sets of 6 pcs..
But this does not cover the main character of the Star Wars franchise, instead, they only chooses the Bounty Hunters..
I didn't realise there are so many Bounty Hunters, well at least I knew Jango Fett and Boba Fett..
Check them out...

The unboxing video.

The box containers..

The complete set.

Some nice cars, weird characters, not fancy the carded thou...

1/6 - Boba Fett

'60s Ford Econoline Pickup.

First release of the casting.

2/6 Boss K

Deco Delivery

3/6 IG-88

'70 Chevelle Delivery

4/6 Zuckuss

Chevy Silverado Off Road

5/6 4-Lom

'64 GMC Panel

6/6 Dengar

Ford Transit Super Van

Seriously I do not know these Bounty Hunters.. Probably due to I did not follow the story as much..

I wonder how does Mattel decided to choose which character to fit what casting.

Overall is a nice piece if you are a carded collector, but unlike me, I loose everything..

The only 3 casting which I collect from the series.

The decals/graphics on the casting really sucks.

'60s Ford Econoline Pickup Truck.

The truck looks good..

It has a skateboard on the flatbed.

I like it when the do these detail touch, Ford name emboss to the rear truck.

But the paint totally ruins it all..

Looks thick..

'64 GMC Panel

Been collecting this casting way back when it was first introduce in the Delivery Series.

Clean and simply elegant.

Chevy Silverado Off Road.

Always a fan of 4x4.. and those RealRiders makes such a difference.

Rear view..

If you are a fan of Star Wars, this set would looks good in your collection.

Lucky enough they are kinda expensive, stops me from getting them just for the RealRiders.

Enjoy the pics.

Cheers.

It's a mad, mad .... Mad Magazine

It's a mad, MAD Magazine..

Introducing the newly release 2017 Pop Culture Series, Mad Magazine.

Mad (very often stylized as MAD) is an American humor magazine founded in 1952 by editor Harvey Kurtzman and publisher William Gaines,^[3] launched as a comic book before it became a magazine. It was widely imitated and influential, affecting satirical media, as well as the cultural landscape of the 20th century, with editor Al Feldstein increasing readership to more than two million during its 1974 circulation peak.^[4] As of January 2017, Mad has published 544 regular issues, as well as hundreds of reprint "Specials", original material paperbacks, compilation books and other print projects.
- Info taken from Wikipedia

Read the magazine when I was young but couldn't really understand the humor back then..
And now Mattel is bringing some of the humor into Hot Wheels..

The Cases Code # DLB45-934K

Unboxing video of the case.

12 casting per cases. And the gave 2 crappy extras.

Why can't the give more of the Dodge A100..

Definitely better then the wiener looking casting and a sealed Chevy Panel.

The Mad Magazine set.

MAD Trademark.. on a '64 Chevy Nova Panel

The Mad Famous Agent Black

'66 Dodge A100

The Mad Famous Agent White

'66 Dodge A100

'55 Chevy Panel

I absolutely adore the casting but was totally put off when Mattel decided to put crappy colors and design with the sealed rear door which they previously had on its predecessors..

Haulin gas

Was never a fan of this casting.

And now with that color, this gonna be peg warmers, until someone decided to get them just for the realriders.

Hoping that in 2018, Mattel decided to do much interesting series like the old Garage Series..

Miss the good old days..

Enjoy the pics.

Hot Wheels 2018 Case A revealed.

One of the most awaited cases after several sneak peek posted around the internet..
Purchased myself a case last week and decided to do an unboxing video which I always posted on my FB page.

Here is the International 2018 Case A revealed.

The assortments are pretty decent as there are multiple cars I can keep with several new entries to brighten up 2018 series.

Above are the 72 pcs from my case # 99AAFL.

The are some nice graphics on the 2018 cards..

The above JDMs are gonna be a hit among collectors. Even on multiple pieces per cases these would fly pass the pegs so fast it might not even be hang.

Several new variants for 2018.

The tampo on the Fiat 500 and the Chevelle Wagon is awesome..

New color for Bone Shaker and VG Golf

New colors for some of these casting.

Nice tampo on the Bump around and Dodge RAM.

Enjoy the pics..

Treasure Hunts 2011 - Unleashed...

Info from Hot Wheels Wiki..

Treasure Hunt (sometimes T-Hunt) is a line of Hot Wheels cars which were introduced by Mattel in 1995. It consists of 12 cars every year; one released per month. The original production run started at 10,000 pieces worldwide, and has since grown due to the demand and increasing popularity of Hot Wheels collecting.
In 2007, Mattel introduced a two-tiered Treasure Hunt system. A regular Treasure Hunt would feature normal enamel paint and normal wheels compared to other Hot Wheels cars. The production of these is rumored to be greater than Treasure Hunts of the past. The Super Treasure Hunts are much rarer and are like Treasure Hunts of the past, featuring Real Riders wheels and Spectraflame paint. All 12 Treasure Hunt cars are planned to be released in both regular and super versions.

Mattel decided for 2011, to release 15 Treasure Hunt instead..

As per title, behold the Treasure Hunts for 2011.. All 15 of them being loose and displayed...
I would like to thanks to other fellow collectors who help to completes these...

Enjoy the pics...
