2 more rolling in...

Last Monday, received these 2 50' Chevy Truck from shakz from a trade in the States.... An addition to my collection..


I already have both carded but this are just irresistible.. Not to sure why I wanted to collect them..
Probably because its a full metal die cast and kinda heavy too..
Anyway, enjoy the pics..

OMG..What a surprise...

Wake this morning and got one thing one my mine.. go to sleep again.. But instead getting prepared for my Flea Market sale on Sunday at Amcorp Mall..

Then my gf wanted to go Shah Alam to search some of her stuff..
Drop by at The Store, went to the toys section and found this hanging at the pegs.. Priceless..
Check with the sales assistant, she say 3 boxes was restocked.. Label 998JJG.. But only 1 TH$ was found..
Anyway, not complaining, as I can used this to trade with something else..

Enjoy the pics..



I'm a sucker for this type of wheels..
Might ripped the wheels to fit my other purpose... perhaps..

A new tampo found on this car.. Camo Army Green.. Nice..

Probably now looking for the TH$ 69' Mustang for trade.. Anyone?

65' VW Fastback..

This is another casting which I liked.. 

** Info from Hot Wheels Wikia, "The '65 Volkswagen Fastback is a Hot Wheels casting based on the production car of the same name, debuting in the 2008 New Models. The real name from the original car is Volkswagen Type 3 and was produced from 1963 til 1973." Design by Phil Riehlman

First saw the casting early this year at Amcorp mall.. Immediately fall in love with it. But what I bought was a loose piece with a dissoriented front wheel. During that time, I was already doing some wheel swapping.


On first attempt, put some chrome 5spoke muscle wheels..

 

Later, another forum customizer, Elgee, decided to do some detailing of the interior.. Superb results. I never knew it would turn out perfectly.. 
Interior : Seats, fire extinguisher, NOS detailed.


Love the engine detailing.

Decided to change to black 5 spoke wheels.


Latest acquisition, was the Phil's Garage VW Fastback. This is the 3rd color among the series following the Black, then Orange and now Blue.







Got this a few months back, only ripped from blister a few days ago..



Group pic. 

Missing is the Fastback Mail-in. Still in carded due to its a rare item and very expensive.

Even the Mail-in Fastback was a gift from Sinclair, still haven't got the guts to ripped it yet.. :)





Salute!..



So far, this is the completed Fastback casting series. Hopefully the VW Fastback from the Japan Convention would be released soon..

Enjoy the pics..
Cheers..

Early November surprise...

I went to the Post Office in 1Utama New Wing LG to post some parcels purchased from other members.
The decided to dropped by Parkson and saw the promoter was restocking the pegs with 3 new boxes..
Then I saw the TH Custom '53 Cadillac.. Pick them up and went to the cashier, till they informed me that buy 3 pieces of Hot Wheels and get 1 free.. Paid for the 3pcs TH and choose myself a Ford Mustang GT from the cashier counter..



Then on the way out, decided to drop by the Tomica counter, and found this..
No# 55 - Nissan Fairlady Z Roadster. Last piece thou..
They were on 20% sale, so decided to get another Failady Z for custom..


Enjoy the pics..

Cheers..
