Ford Focus RS goes Monster..

Last few weeks, pass some cars to a fellow customizer Cham2020, and told him to be creative with it..

Until one day, he posted in the forum showing off one of the car I passed him.. 

Totally forgot bout it, till it was handed to me..

Anyway, thanks Cham for the custom..

Original pictures can be seen on cham2020 blog..

As usual, I  wheel swapped them..

Top view.. Monster Eenergy.. grrrr...

One of his best custom with decals..

Even got offers to sell the casting.. But instead told them to ordered from cham..

Enjoy the pics..

Small haul from a collector..

As if the hauling from 7e and GIANT has not drained enough from my pocket, I can still purchased these stuff from a fren..

Since I'm a Nissan Skyline collector, these 2 are just hard to resist..

Super Street Nissan Skyline R32.. nice..

I'm a '69 Mustang collector as well..

Hard to resist as well..

Don't even know why I buy this..

But the car just looks cool...

Lastly, a loose Bone Shaker from the Street Show Series #5..

Superbly nice... another addition to my collection.. :)

Enjoy the pics..

Cheers..

GIANT restocks again...

Demm... Still recovering from the 7E promo, till I got a call from shakz saying that GIANT outlets are restocking.. It seems some member has been scoring next year TH.. Well, since I was on leave and was going to send my car for wash & polish, why not just drop by to the nearest GIANT outlets..

So I went to GIANT Kelana Jaya.. First visit on the pegs, say some caddy wave.. urghhhh...
Then I look up, saw a row of HW cases arrange no top of the shelf..
Asked the staff there, he willingly to show me the boxes..

There were 9 cases of 998HHR (Custom '53 Cadillac) and 1 cases of 9986KA (Ford GTX).
Below are some stuff I bought at GIANT Kelana Jaya..

For those still looking for the TH Cadillac, can proceed there.. Good luck..

Then, received a called from cham and shakz requesting to join the visit to GIANT Putra Heights.. I went there with shakz.. We went upstairs, and found cham with these cases.. 2011 Cases.. nice..

Checkout the pics below..

Some of the cars in the cases..

Some of the cars in the cases..

Look what we found...

Some of the cars I bought.. 

psst.. not for me.. For other members too..

More extras for other members..

the bill... demm...

Must stop hunting at the moment..

Just the first day and I'm dead broke...

Enjoy the pics..

7-11 Promo is here again...

Well, its time again for the promo.. This time a little bit better as the price lowered more than the previous sale..

Hot Wheels - RM4.90
Matchbox - RM4.50
Speed Machines - RM12.90

As usual, some of us would go hunt for the fun of it.. Checkout what waves do hit this stores..
To my surprise, there are 4 waves circulating the 7e, but majority is the '53 Cadillac followed by Shelby Cobra Daytona..
I think we passed on 15 - 20 pcs of TH Caddy, but do encounter some interesting stuff.. Nothing much can be bought from the Caddy or the Daytona wave, but surprisingly Matchbox has better option, the Honda Civic Type-R blue color and my favorite, Austin Mini Cooper white color..

FYI, Case 998JJP is the TH Shelby Cobra "Daytona" Coupe wave.. However, you might find not 1 but 2 TH in it.. Good luck..

Here are some of the stuff I found...

TH and TH$ Custom '53 Cadillac

TH and TH$ Shelby Cobra "Daytona" Coupe..

Some extras for me... ehehehe

Good luck hunting y'all..

Cheers..

Treasure Hunts 2010 # 5. Shelby Cobra "Daytona" Coupe

Just another entry.. Nothing interesting.. Just some review on a recent TH discovery.. :)

Taken from Hot Wheels Wiki
"The Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe is a Hot Wheels casting based on the race car of the same name, debuting in the 2007 New Models."


Got this a few weeks back.. One of the few carded TH$ I got this year..  
Not a collector of these casting, but surprisingly this really had my attention.. Probably because of the big rubber wheels used on the car.. hehehe..

Nothing fancy.. Just another TH$ with big wheels.. yummy..

Now I can pair it off with my regular TH..

(apologise for the blurr pics, my camera acting up).. :)

Let it loose to play around with..

Sexy rear..

Pictures of the pair...

Look at those big rubber wheels..

Sexy backs of the pair..

Nice huh?

Racing stripes...

Carded and loose..

Manage to get a loose @ a flea market.. Both of the casting has the same code base number..

However, when look closely, it seems that the color tone is diffenert between the loose and in the carded..

Probably oxidation causes the color to change for the loose, or is there color variations for this?

Anyway, am looking for a trade with a TH$ '69 Mustang.. Anyone up for it?

Enjoy the pics..

49' Ford Coe

Another new casting come out this year was the '49 Ford Coe, debut in the Hot Wheels Delivery Slick Rides.
As usual, I ended up collecting this casting.. Not as heavy as my other trucks, but this truck looks really cool...

Anyway, enjoy the pics.. :)

First color..

Second color..

Again, a sucker for big rubber wheels...

Rear view

Frontal view.. 

Oh my... what big nose you have..

Now need to look for the 3rd Color, features in the Hot Wheels Delivery Sweet Rides with the Milk Duds tampo on the side..

Hope to get that real soon... :)
Cheers..

Hot Wheels 2010 Kmart and TRU Exclusive

Collecting Hot Wheels can be very expensive when you started to purchased convention car, RLC and exclusive cars.. But then, this is very addictive...

Below are some of the exclusive selection I manage to get this year..

Some history on those cars..
"Back in September 1969, John DeLorean himself announced the ’70 Monte Carlo™, a sweet coupe originally launched as Chevrolet's® counterpart to the then-new Pontiac Grand Prix. Following an initial rocky start in production, the car went on to become a solid seller. Now, getting back to the future… 2009, that is, when the Hot Wheels® ’70 Monte Carlo™ made its debut in that year’s Hot Wheels® Classics series. Now, it’s here once again, dressed in a bold blue base just for this Toys ‘R’ Us promotion! Topped with double white stripes and groovy swirls, it sports the classic Hot Wheels® logo and a number “2” deco, all rolling on five-spoke Real Rider® wheels with white stripes." (Taken from hotwheelscollector.com)

Given to me as a gift from a seller in the states, first look and I was really surprised on the beauty of the car..

What a beauty..

Later, Mattel decided to release Thunder Roller for the Kmart Promotion..

"The Thunder Roller® debuted back in 1983 in the Workhorses lineup, a design from Mr. Hot Wheels® himself, Larry Wood. It was issued only a few times in the '90s, then was out of sight until 2004, when it was chosen as the very first sELECTIONs™ model. It’s back once again, with a bold blue finish featuring a number 3 deco (signifying that it’s the third of four mail-in cars this year), and authentic Hot Wheels® logo, die-cast chassis and body, and riding on Real Riders® wheels." (Taken from hotwheelscollector.com)

Got this during a purchased made from US for some Hot Wheels Delivery and Garage Series..

What a beauty as well.. and heavy also..
