Hello everybody, 2010 is my 5th year of Hot Wheels collecting. At the time of writing, I should have around 600-700 pieces of Hot Wheels. Quite a slow count if you ask me 'cos in between these 5 years, there was a time when I had my attention shifted away from Hot Wheels (during the 2006-2008 Collecting Years). However, after receiving more exposure from online resources, my collecting has gained momentum and the way I choose my collection has transcended as well. In this thread, I will only showcase the castings which I deem near-complete enough as most of my casting models are too dispersed and vast to have a sizable number of the same casting... This will not be a thread that I will constantly update since it takes time, patience, and money of course to try and complete as much as possible a particular casting... And for the record, I don't look into wheels/windshield/chassis/minor graphics variations... Well, what better way to start off this thread than to showcase the casting that ignited my vision... the one and only 1970 Plymouth Superbird, simply like nothing else (although the name's a bit comical)!

it's the same purple/white you all have been seeing, just that the angle of shot makes you can't see the purple shade...

Wow! This thread has been pushed all the way to Page 2. Oh well, I haven't posted anything for the past 4-5 weeks anyway... I left early in the morning for a few interviews, hoping to secure some internship for the next 12-weeks. After that, changed to some casual clothes and went hunting at Bugis and Orchard Road. My first 10-Pack. The Torino was hard to resist and I have been aiming for it anyway. 1/4-Mile Coupe has a poorly installed multi-exhausts; they take up the ground clearance and it can't roll... The rear axle is too soft. There is a risk of the wheels getting stuck into the wheel wells so I can't play (roll) too much... Low riders! Recolours to complete the variations... I collect pick-ups too... the Speed Machines; the Veyron has a nicely installed grill. Thank goodness

BARRICADE!!!

^ that's a Chrysler Pronto dude and it's only available with a 10-Pack (or for this case a 20-Pack)

the blue is a Walmart Exclusive. to add on to what you said, it's not one of the muscular-looking muscle car castings indeed...

i'm surprised these are not posted yet...

"thank you" sinclair for "inspiring" me to chase after this casting, after the Pikes Peak Celica...

damn! that's looks brand new!

I've seen all but the Reventon... GT Racer I have... Not in Malaysia's context though...

hey man. long time no see. i think i can make it.

^ seriously, if not of the glare from the tire, it can be mistaken for the real car.

hahaha! that's correct. i think i've mentioned about it before. notable exceptions would be Deora II, Fast Fish, & La Fasta...

...those that fall into the category of: -> muscle car -> European -> classics -> pick-up / SUV -> Japanese of all that I intend to complete as much as I can, the ones I will dear most would be... * Plymouth Superbird * Mustang Mach 1 * 1968 Nova * 1992 Ford Mustang * Ferrari 430 Scuderia * Volkswagen Fastback * Ford Thunderbolt you'll get the drill from my bounty site... all in all, Ford is my major affection.

wanz, i have no idea how much your R8 cost but i bet it's worth every cent you spent on.

the Mustang...

hmm... U.S., Mexico, and Japan have seen their very own exclusives... I wonder when will us get to do so... Pelita Nasi Kandar Exclusive anyone?

my regular cost me around RM20, just for your reference.

GTO Wagon! (albeit with non-metal chassis... )

woosh! another bird lover. (thank you for the "acknowledgement" ) but RG, i will be shifting my focus to another casting soon... which can be known from my signature...

^ second that. somehow i like UH more than Garage series... haha

...or you can get those from the 10-Packs... the 3-Packs here... FTE cars do not wear OH5... that's odd...

i suppose every collector's dream outside of US is to attend a convention/nationals one day...

...is there enough head room for Ultradad's horns?

...would love to see them redo the stunts with the Escalades instead
