Yao

I was wondering...
To those collectors who uncard your cars, how do you clean them up?

I only uncarded my cars when my family moved to a new taman and had my dad purchased a cabinet to display my cars.

That was almost 3 years ago and happened at the same time when I have been at Singapore for studies... so can't imagine the dusts my cars will eventually collect...

OMG. It's Ice Cream Truck...

$0.95 is just crazy.
I have the Corvette.
Still searching for the Scud.

Will try to do so.
Balik kampung 15 - 30 Dec.

Wow. Das Video was sehr fantastisch!

I live around that region.
If you go there during weekends, especially at nights, you can really see some nice rides.

Hot Wheels used to cost RM3.50...

Muscle Mania 2009?

Hi Yao,

Congratz. Curious to know why you like Nomad so much. Tks.

Not really a huge fan of the Nomad but just happen to like this version.
Superb blue paint job with the red flame effect + the 5-spoke wheel set. Looks awesome muh~

Thanks.
I only went to Giant 'cos the displayed stocks at TRU seem to have been there for weeks...

I was really blown off by what Giant had...

With these 2, I am on the verge of completing the Dream Garage & HW City Works series.



Found a lot of these along with some Enzos and FXXs... decided to get these 2 only 'cos never had the basic cars of these castings.
The 430 Scud is totally sick!!!



A 2008 Series Saleen S7, which I have been looking for some time.
The Ford's just too irresistible, plus I'm a Ford guy.



My second Mustang 5-pack. The first one is currently back home in Malaysia...
Really surprised no one picked this up... the box has signs of wear and tear...
The only one left and it was surrounded by the VW 5-pack which I hope to get very soon...

IMO: Mustangs are a must for Hot Wheels collectors



With these quartet, very close to completing my Hot Wheels Racing series!!



Last but not least, 50% of the Heat Fleet was scooped in one purchase.
I really like the Nomad. There's another iteration in Yellow with a different wheel design but this one's more like it!

I suggest you try to spread out a little further. Vivo TRU very slow restock. Try the TRU's in Orchard area and the shopping malls surrounding it. Oh one more thing, don't underestimate Giant hypermarkets, i find super TH's there before.

...and welcome to HWCM!

ViVo City's very close to where I am staying which is why it's like a "default" destination for me, but I will be expanding my scope.
Current situation impeded by exams & other school commitments.

As for Giant, you are absolutely right.
I was there this afternoon for my last haul until after my exams and managed to get these...
2008 All Stars Saleen S7
2009 Hot Wheels Racing Panoz GTR-1 (almost completing this Series)

And these from a toy store at Level 1 of Harbour Front... (the kind of shop where you won't expect to find Hot Wheels...)
2009 Ferrari Racer 430 Scuderia 1/24
2009 Ferrari Racer F355 Challenge 3/24
among others...

Oh yeah, there are quite a number of Colour Shifters Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution at ViVo Giant, if you happen to want one and happen to be in Singapore for the time being.
I did not buy it 'cos had spend quite a lot... (regretting now though )
I'll upload my haul for today in another thread for sharing later.

I just bought this Charger too.
It really goes with the theme and kicks ass.

Welcome to the club Yao, like u I was transplanted to SG due to studies and now r working here .... a word of advice, if you want to hunt in SG make sure u know their restock pattern and work hard. Being a student should not hinder you as u will have a lot of free time to hunt

so enjoy it as a hobby if u must ... but if u really want some thunt ... u can get from me ...... enjoy man

Cool~
By the way, I usually get mine from Toys 'R' Us @ ViVo City

Btw yao, if you haven't heard latest trend here in HWCM, playaz here have wife, fiancee or gf helped them out and turn out they all put the collectors themselves to shame.

So tips the no.1 - Score a girl first and they'll score for you. If you're a girl collector then you still have to hunt yourself cause male species only knows how to eat sleep and watch football.

Too bad 'cos my girl thinks Hot Wheels are for kids...
However, I'm in the midst of "educating" her~

If we could tell you where to find treasure hunt that beats the purpose of calling it treasure hunt, isn't it?

Good point there... but as mentioned in my starting post... it's like since 2001 when I last bought a TH.
Tough luck huh?

Hi! Just registered myself for this forum.
Have been a collector since high school and currently based in Singapore for academic purposes, but that has not dampen my Hot Wheels collecting.

This has been a question which I have failed to find an answer... where can we get the Treasure Hunt Series in Malaysia?
Because of where my house is, the most convenient place to get Hot Wheels would be Toys 'R' Us but I have never seen a single TH...

My only TH since I started collecting is the 2001 Series Rodger Dodger...
