VW Fastback 08 First Edition

Today I am going to do a more complete review on the VW fastback 08 first edition. This car comes along in the Drift King Thunt wave and comes in quite limited number which is one in every box just like the thunt. Perhaps because its a VW and the casting, superb color and tampo on the car and its limited supply, it's more sought after than the dk itself. Some have said that it is the "thunt" in this wave and not the dk. Yes the dk which is a flat black probably pales in comparison to this vw pedigree.



One of the first thing that you will notice about this car is it's sheer weight. It is fully metal on the outside and is quite heavy.


After taking it out, you will find that the car features an opening back much like the vw dragbus or the vw kahrman ghia of 2007 which was also very limited in number. The back opens and reveals the engine and the drivers seat. The roll cage which is made out of plastic can be detached and proped as a support for the body of the car. However the color could have been better as the lightblue rollcage gives it the "cheap" look. I've got a mind to color it black but probably in the future..haha.

The body of the car also can be detached from the base just like the 08 orange beetlecup to reveal a rather off road dune buggy of sorts, hmmm could be a custom of its own......





All in all, a very good casting and I can undestand why many people are looking for it, Its not just hype, its a good quality car for RM6 or so. Worth your money so if you see the dk wave on the rack, don't just be looking for the green striped card but look out also for the number 39 yellow striped first edition.

Hotwheels AMG Mercedes CLK - DTM

Along with the drift king wave comes a popular mould which is the AMG Mercedes CLK - DTM. This time the all star makes it's return with copper brown colors in different tones and a single white stripe on each side.

A mercedes mould is usually classy and for this mould its no different with tinted windows and its chromed grill with that all too famous Mercedes emblem whcih is usually associated with luxury. The back shows two exhaust pipes chromed as well with a spoiler to give the car a street sporty look. A very rich Ah Beng perhaps.


The interior is also fully chromed. Anyway if you haven't gotten this particular car yet, try to get a few if you see it on the racks because this is one of the cars that is well sought after and is taken off the racks pretty quick along with the Beetlecup, Impavido, Driftking and of course the Vw Fastback.

Matchbox Trash Truck

UPDATE :


Here I have moved the forklift to the front in order to see more clearly the pictures and patterns on the side of the truck.



This garbage truck is superbly made and is definitely better quality in terms of paintjob, details, and functions than some of the other mainline matchbox cars out there today.

The garbage truck comes with an accesory which is the garbage bin.

The garbage bin can be easily setached from the truck and attached again.

The forklift then can be extended out and fit into the grooves on either side of the garbage bin. Then it has also the lifting action all the way to top to dispose of any garbage and then the truck at the back also lifts to empty itself of any garbage later on...haha


Very nice features on this garbage truck. It has also nice dome wheels which I have never seen before. Very unique and a great find. I still do not know what series of matchbox car this is. It must have been somekind of aniversary or christmas holiday offer since some of the boxes have christmas trees on it but the boxes are old and I am still no closer to knowing the truth about them. Anyway hope you enjoy the pics.
