LATEST HOTWHEELS WAVE

Photobucket

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.

Plymouth Roadrunner

Photobucket
I remembered telling myself "if only I could find a super thunt roadrunner", I would be happy even if I did not manage to find the other 11 super thunts. The reason is because I think among all the thunt lineup for 2008, its the best looking one in my opinion plus the color just suits the green thunt stripe on the card...haha. So somehwere in the middle of this year, Mattel started doing a promotion for their "Promo boxes" which has the Designer challenge cars plus four normal hotwheels cars, which makes a total of 5 altogether.

It was in these promo boxes that I managed to find my super plymouth not one but two. But it sure burns a hole in your pocket since the price for one is around 25 malaysian ringgit which is about US$7 per promo box. Its not that bad for one promo box but in the intial stages of the promotion where the only way for you to score a plymouth roadrunner thunt is in one of the promo boxes(in the Malaysian hotwheels market, there were no single card thunt plymouth provided by Mattel to be sold on the racks), the accumalated number of promo boxes bought just to get that thunt reaches to a place where it is ridiculous. Now even if I see a promo box with a thunt Plymouth inside, I will just give it a pass unless its a super. This sucks for me as a collector in Malaysia but hey I have to set a limit because of this.....
