Spoiler: hoho very good spotting!

Today I hunt again, and I finally found the chase cars! Spoiler: What? Those are not chase cars? Oh, and you have seen them before? Err, OK take this! Hmm, looks like you're not still not amused. Apparently you guys are not fans of silver cars. Okay, you've seen them before. How bout this then? Hee happy now? I am happier scoring these than T-Hunts anyday. Haha, hope you enjoyed this little spoiler game.

haha yeah if you guys were here i think the same case will happen. but then i also think its because they restock new cases and not constantly qombee thats why i get more stuff. new haul pics coming!

VW Type 181 VW Custom Beetle

Yup, that is correct my friend. Also, the back of US Cards show the details of the car, like where it is made, the creator etc. US Cards also have models that is over 191, as opposed to 166 of international cards stated on the bottom right. I really like the Triumph TR6, not only the details are good (got racing tempo and rear lamps), the casting is also quite heavy. Reminds me of the VW Fastback.

thanks guys. the yellow mustang and copper bluebird is the '49 merc wave.

Enjoy!

Yesterday my exams finished! I haven't been hunting for a while due to studying, so today I decided to stretch my legs and visit a few stores. And this is what are at the racks now... New wave! I see some Custom Chevy wave, some Plymouth Fury wave and some '49 Merc wave. (But the greens, DD and GTR no where to be found). Still, I made some purchases anyway to complete me collection. Spoiler: Cheers.

love the effect! two thumbs up for this bro! awesome stuff

yup, nobody collects DD here it seems. its just like another piece, they aim for other models here instead.

superb job on the custom, definitely much better than when you first started. enjoyed the pics and process, keep them coming!

Sweet! Yeah JL is cheap here, a lotta nice cars up if you're collecting them. You're not near where I'm living this time?

Thanks :-) Py- it's plastic base, and feels slightly lighter than vw fastback. thefuhrer- you can't see the pics?

thanks! kuku - any sight of the gmc wave yet?

haha nice! there are also light, medium and dark orange tempo variations. you need all six to complete all variations! good luck!

some recent MBX hauls MBX 55th anniversary cars, in met. green colours and a 55th anniversary logo. More double decker and routemaster buses.

Exam period, no time to hunt. But today while shopping for groceries I found new wave! It's the Plymouth Fury hunt, the green and GTR is gone already. Ah well. Evo X, with beautiful tempo. Two more down for the Muscle Mania series. Black 'Stang and VW Type 181 recolor, didn't fancy it so I only got one. Of course, there were DDs to be found. There are other cars, I'm gonna go back soon cos not enough bullet. Other cars in this wave are Skyline R32 blue, 'Vette ZL1 blue, 2010 Mustang blue, Tri & Stop Me, Custom V8 Vega yellow, Fast Gassin' green, Ford Fusion black, Sweet Streets brown, AMX Javelin AMC green, Custom Jeep. This wave is full of yummy stuff.

new DD and Mitsu DS first colour! another one who has defected to the bay...welcome to the bay side! great looking stuff

How much are you willing to pay for a latest treasure hunt? How about a $uper hunt, with spectraflame paint and RR? Ok, how about a treasure hunt claimed to have only 80 pcs in existance? Think that the Mexican seller's hunts on eBay are expensive? This eclipses it, by a whole kilometer. Click here to find out how much this hunt is being auctioned off on the bay.

yeah the blue-ish tone goes well with the red! and i noticed this model also have a "SI" tempo at the back

clean, simple, yet good attention to details. Job well done bro, respect :-) P.S.: The bump in front is caused by the drill. You must've pounded on the car pretty hard when drilling the rivets off. ;-)

Pretty well done, lots of attention to detail there! Keep it coming, love your works. I have customized one AE86 stage 3 version for Cham. :-)

Jap cars are real life manufacturer cars and is not allowed. You can choose something similiar to a real car, such as amazoom, or circle tracker. :-)

This is my custom for this group build: Canyon Carver. Let's get it on and have fun guys!

HWCM 2nd Group Build Theme: Hot Wheels Originals Dateline: 16th July 2009 Rules: 1. One participant can custom as many diecasts as he/she likes. 2. Die cast must be Hot Wheels, and must be a Hot Wheels Original design (eg. Amazoom, Blimp, Ratbomb, but no real life car manufacturers) 3. Try to finish all your builds before the dateline, there is a reason why it is called a dateline. :-) 4.
