More Thunt, More fastback

Just to do some reporting on my latest haul. I can't think of anything else to blog for the moment except what I managed to haul on my way back to my hometown. On my way to my hometown I have to pass by a small town called Tampin and there is a new Giant store there, so we decided to stop for a while and I just went to the toy section and found some really nice cars hanging on the racks. Managed to get 2 batmobiles, some mustangs, a ferrari and a Austin Healey.

At first I did not realize that the Austin Healey was actually a 2008 Hotwheels production car. I was a bit surprised since it did not come in any wave that has hit Malaysia. And then I remebered the Promo Packs and that the Austin Healey was in those packs.

Somehow they must have taken out the cars from the promo packs and started selling it as normal single cards again.


On the way back this Morning, we stopped at a Tesco and two 7-11 and I managed to score some more, most notably the matchbox mustang concept which I thought was cool and blows the thunt mustang gt hotwheels out of the water with its detail. Anyway thats all for now.

DRIFT KING

We are in the midst of the drift king wave and the start of the 16 Angels wave. I have not found any 16 Angels yet and reports are just starting to come in that it is found in Seremban and Shah Alam area. However back to talking about the driftking, I would like to draw your attention to the super and the regular drift king. I found a super driftking the other day and noticed that the paint is gloss black , exactly like the regular.

Is it supposed to be this way? Usually, the super thunt would have spectraflame paint but after inspecting both the super and regular driftking, I have to conclude that there is no difference at all with respect to the paintjob. Its just plain old glossy black. The only difference I can find are the rubber tyres and the dollar sign on the card. Anyway happy hunting. Hope to find a 16 Angels which may land in a store near you soon.

VW FASTBACK

Well, its official. The Drift King wave has trully arrived but for how long nobody knows. Its reported to be popping up here and there all over KL and Selangor. Today I was able to score the VW fastback. As you know in two post back, I managed to score the same wave with a regular thunt DK but surprisingly no VW fastback. I couldn't understand why and probably never will. However today I saw the hotwheels box on the floor. So I asked for permission to have a look and that is how I scored the vw fastback today. Like the Thunt, there was only one VW fastback in the box which explains why it is in such demand. Besides anything vw in hotwheels is scoffed up in a feeding frenzy....haha

The first thing that strikes me most about this casting is its weight. Like the Kharman Ghia before it its probably one of the heaviest mainline car to be produced since its fully metal and it has a back that opens(like the Kharmann Ghia) to reveal its rear engine.

Well this is one car you definitely want to find a few and keep. Its definitely a great car to have and my crappy camera does not do it justice.

UNEXPECTED FIND

I don't know how to say this but, after running from one Jusco to another, I finally found the super Drift King...it was still in the box when I found it on the showcase counter of this particular Jusco's toy section. It was around 3pm at that time and the the sales assistant in charge was busy tidying up and restocking the pegs, while she was busy I dove into the box and walla, a super dk not even pricetagged yet along with some other desired cars.....The paint on the DK however is not spectraflame like the other supers though. It looks kinda normal except for the wheels. Anyway, Juscos are restocking with the DK wave right now.....so what are you waiting for, go and get your super. You may be next to score....Jusco is selling hotwheels for RM5.90...

LATEST HOTWHEELS WAVE

Since last week, many collectors have reported finding cars that belonged to the Drift King wave. So with great excitement and anticipation many of us thought that our chance to get our hands on the Drift King thunt had arrived. However it was not to be or perhaps I should say so easy. The reason is because this wave which belongs to the drift king just does not come with the regular thunt but instead it comes with the very rare and hard to find super drift king. Problem is there are not that many supers to go around and so many of us have yet to find a regular or super drift king even though the new wave has hit.
However this wave does come with some great cars like the orange new beetlecup, the urban agent, saleen, mercs clk, and many more muscle cars not included in this picture. Close up picture will follow soon of these cars. At the meantime keep on hunting people and find that super drift king(telling myself also) before its too late....I found mine at Tesco for RM5.70 and some others I have seen are at Jusco at RM5.90.
