That is what I call 'impulsive' buying hahaha....it should be - do your 'homework', be patient...you'll find what you want with best price! But I must say...good haul there! Lots of things not available locally - but is your favourite casting...that should be everyone's reason for buying thru eBay ....

These Ebbro brand ones are highly detailed of most diecast brands, higher priced too and pretty Limited as well. There was this set of Ebbro Nissan (same series/set as the one picture posted by cham2020 above) available at ToyCity stores...but cost rm69.90...some more think got about 10 or more in the series

solid snake trade corner (batmobile, police subaru and black enzo)

I would assume the US market has a different set of card backs is due to the original idea (of having infos behind) - whereas for International market, like Loose-wheel mentioned, kinda hard to translate a few of them words, or hard to print so many variations on the cards, some translation are long-ish and the language...that'll cost too much for different sets of cards for every other country, thus Mattel decided the rest of the world, except USA...got the same card backs. As for the 'Trea$ure Hunt$' vs 'T-Hunt$'....pretty basic, back to what I said above Totally agree on this netmatrix "..Whether it is valuable or not depends on a persons view..." I tot I'm the only one (don't we all LOL) until it's out there...you're never really sure are ya? ....but at least we can share with the rest of the community....so thank you for sharing your 'finds' Now as for hokuan situation..of finding US carded HWs around Malaysia...you do get it sometimes. Maybe the cases on hand wasn't enough so they had to throw in from the US batch. In the past I found them at 7-11s, few retailers too. Good score hokuan

POsting the beetle cups

Just to share info with everyone on this subject of the tampo 'thingy'.... It facing the reverse is natural....even on the 1:1 racing cars on tracks, especially on Imports/Tuners...but doesn't happen to the tampos on the F1 formula cars tho. I have no concrete answer or article to link you guys to a whole lot of explanation on 'why'...but it's just like it is hehehehe....it's only natural that you paste the tampo reverse (to me that is) but majority of owners will simply put the same way round on both sides of the car......just like how you see them on the doors of Kancil/Protons etc...haha...

For everyones info on this 'un-cut' card.... Story behind it is....that one you see in pic, are recycled from the plant where its being printed. Once the run is over, surely bound to have extras, they'll sell to 'recycling' buyers to get rid of them instead of discarding, while they get a sum of $$$ back. What these 'recyclers' do is...they'll chop up these printed HW card into sizes (depending on their cutting machine) you will find different sizes and shapes but usually in rectangular shape. Why they do this if you ask, is because a lot of printing companies uses these recycled papers/cards as a 'hard-backing' for printed materials - for example 'petty' cash forms...flimsy right, so they use these chopped up recycled materials as a 'hard-backing'...and etc etc etc.... Netmatrix if you do find more of these...do let me know, I'll have some you may wanna trade with me (that is if you're really into them - I am ) *Loose-wheel
