... ..and special guest appearance p/s - please don't take this 'customs' seriously

Actually it's supposed to be 1 haul 1 thread, but personally i'm into this idea of one thread per member and they can always rename it for updates.. reason is first what if one manage to haul like few times every single week then i it does get messy, secondly from bandwith side i think admin will have difficulties with this cause it's not like we have big resource to run this forum in long term. Both thing i mentioned currently it's still alright due to forum size now, but when the club grows bigger and bigger you will definitely get what i mean. Will bring this up to admin.

If you can bring that then surely there's prob bringing it again, keep your threes and sell the coming ones.

Der Untergang. ('Downfall' in english)

Go grab 'em asap, one is hanging on peg in Bkt. Tinggi Giant last seen few hours ago.

It's lyin' here on the peg where they left it I think they hoarded too much I'm crying here, what have you done? I thought it would be fun I can't stick to your bluebirds, there's a shortage in new waves I can't stick to your baggers, cuz its making me itch I said I tried to call mattel again but they being a little b-tch I think I'll get outta here, where I can Hunt.. just as far as I can To the middle of nowhere To the middle of my frustrated fears And I swear you're just like a pill Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill You keep makin' me ill I haven't found anything that's new to me This must be a bad trip All of the other cars, they were the same Maybe mattel should get some help I can't stick to your bluebirds, there's a shortage in new waves I can't stick to your baggers, cuz its making me itch I said I tried to call mattel again but they being a little b-tch I think I'll get outta here, where I can Hunt.. just as far as I can To the middle of nowhere To the middle of my frustrated fears And I swear you're just like a pill Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill You keep makin' me ill

Hahahah... "We do recommend the traditional red one though"

Dua tiga kucing berlari, Mana nak sama si kucing hitam, Dua tiga regs boleh kucari, Tapi Super macam haram!

Then it beats the purpose of it being a chase car, a 'treasure hunt'. You guys have to admit it, we're not that crazy into super merely for its rubber feature right. This how the line should sound, "I really wish every wave that I get to raid is like qombee and bagger with super in every box.. screw the others!"

Atom no poem for qombee ah..

Atom's new here but ain't no stranger to us.. welkam atomkinder!

Massive display of collection in your bedroom, covering almost every walls, will do the trick only if you're very seasoned, passionate collectors, who assured themselves the cars will never disappoint them. They appreciate it (it can be the casting, sentimental value purpose, or pride of your huntings) and take very long time til they finally get bored of it, or not at all. Of course this is an awesome way of sharing your pride with everyone. However.. ..I guess most of us here need to do soul searching and tell ourselves are we ready to have such kind of display not simply because someone else doing it. Why i say this, because i've seen it.. day by day, collectors even the heavyweights come and go. Today you could be hyper, very very active hauling and endless postings on forum, and the next day they're gone, just like that. And i can tell when these guys are having their second thought, they'll be staring at their colletions whole night, and it won't help when they're all over you, these walls will tell them straight "Yeah man what have you become!". So your massive carded cars put on every walls plan could actually backfire, especially when hotwheels isn't really your main thing at first place. I even seen oversea boardie painted 'treasure hunts' wall mural as backdrop, but end up clearing his entire hunts collections soon after. So undercover's saying you guys shouldn't display your collection at all? Hehe, don't mean that. But instead i can give some ideas what can ya guys do to make sure they remain there for long time. Firstly, it's the soul searching thing as i said earlier.. then now that you're ready, tell yourself "screw it i'm the real playa these MUST be all over my bedroom", the next step is to be as creative as possible! Not just displaying all for the sake of displaying, but plan it out as in you're Eric Leong.. how to make sure these gonna be cool as hell and you will never get bored or frustrated. i) What exactly gonna be up in your wall of fame.. and will it be necessary to have wall entirely covered, or maybe going for something more balanced so that it blends with other stuff in the room. ii) arrangement style.. throwing in sum principles of design to make sure your hotwheels display's piece of art rather than a warehouse (you will be uncomfortable then refuse to sleep in the same room). iii) organizing your display.. surely you will group the cars according to own theme but will you find way to make each theme really stands out. iv) display method.. keepin it ol' skool just stick one by one on the wall or tryin' something interesting at same time protecting each cars, like stacking 'em using eight's foldabox and had it placed on ikea's Ribba ledge, or maybe a sick custom display everything made out of scratch.

I offer Enzo. Lemme know.

He made it to semi final, check out his 2nd performance.

That's why like many other playaz here, it's time for you to go international too! There's no shortcut here, either you got thick wallet, or have a good network with oversea boardies to help out. (and greens could help to certain extent too, when it comes to trades)

I just googled about Zarnock, and it's confirmed that the 4th edition of his Variations Ultimate Guide book will be released sometime April next year. I guess i'll wait for this one since the 3rd one only cover up to 2005 models. It's gonna be 500 pages!

I actually buy a lot from Kinokuniya but mostly illustration and concept art books, thanks for poisoning me this.. most probably will grab the book on variations hehe.

Actually all the intl carded C6R supers does come with T-Hunt spelling cause it's the first super released and (i think) that time they're not sure yet on how to differentiate regs and supers. And if you're really considering any of answers above just swap with mine first then go ahead with your sinister plan, cause mine is near mint currently looking for better one (same version as in pic, not the TRU one).

Night Burner (formerly known as Mega Thrust). Simply because this is one i can catch up with, currently have all of it both carded and loose each except the upcoming purple one.

Actually every racers gets a price and i should have passed on it, regret now that i kena the completist poison no choice but to hunt the rest..

Ouch.

No wonder we all lost badly to him, someone's rigging the track while we're busy.

No need for identification as everyone shall remain undercover hehe..

Shakz really sorry to hear that.

Right place right time, congrats!
