Hot Wheels Morris Mini 2014 : Great Britain 77

Got photo from friend's collection for a morris mini car. Cute and small car. According to many sources, this car is in Hot Wheels case H. which means it is not officially circulate in Indonesia. You must do import from outside country to get this car current now. Besides doing import, you can get this item in auction, but don't be surprise if the price for this car is four times more expensive than its standard price (Last time I saw price for this car in auction is more than a hundred thousand rupiahs). Still don't know why the price is so expensive among the collectors.

okay, let take a look the item, at its side car. Red metallic car for this morris, brave color, I think. We can see there are five tampos, and the biggest one is tampo "77", Beside not to forget Hot Wheels tampo as its trademark. All tampo look match with the body color. 77 tampo may mean about racing number, thinking you are in the middle of Morris Mini racing, looks fun. the door for this model car is quality enough, we can see in door handle. Move to front side we can see another 77 tampo at the its left side printed in white. another part is metal part and another part is a black part like a button. A bit dissapointing about its lamps, very very different with blister picture, why don't Hot Wheels put a color for its lamps, Red color for lamps is very strange for me.

Hot Wheels Lamborghini Sesto Elemento 2014 : Exotic White

Exotic shape and color for describing this new Lamborgini car for 2014. Pretty exotic as a Hot Wheels car. I've heard many of fans complaint about its color (White combined with green), but I think this white color make it an exotic car for this Lamborghini Sesto elemento. The model car uses Trap5 Wheel type (Trapezoid 5 spokes). In Indonesia it is a hot item right now and its price can be up to seventy thousand rupiahs (FYI : standard hot Wheels using regular card price is twenty five thousand rupiahs). Expensive isn't it? May be it because of its brand, there are so many Lamborghini lovers in Indonesia or may be because they like this exotic car or may be because the fact that this is a new model.

No Tampo at its side, just white color and Trap 5 wheels, simple but exotic. At front view it apears the brand logo, of course lamborghini logo, not clear enough for this small logo. two lamps that appear like eyes looked very strict. Near the front window you will find two tome shaping two triangle. These two triangle colored by green. looks beautiful combining white and green. A front side of this car is just like another lamborghini car, sloping end for the front side.

How To refrain Yourself Not To Buy Diecast Over And Over Again

Looking at other's diecast collection can raise your will to buy it. Moreover if the diecast you looked is your focus in your collection. At first when you look a diecast that isn't your focus, you try to buy it. After get it you will try to collect other variant related to it. I guarantee this manner will cost your money, since I experienced it. This made me to collect more and more diecast in a multiple variant( Ferrari, lamborghini, Nissan, Etc.). Now I'm trying to stop it. Buy What I like and only my focus!

These are ways that I tried to stop buying diecast that isn't my focus.

1. Pay your duty (Home rent, car installment, Another goods installment) after you get your money, at least you do your duty instead of buying a new diecast.

2. Don't look at a diecast for a long time, If it isn't your focus!

3. Be grateful for what you've collected

4. Don't bid an item, If its price isn't suitable for you ( At least you will not be blacklisted as a hit and run bidder)

5. Consider about shipping charge (Buy a diecast for thirty thousand rupiahs, and got shipping charge for fifteen thousand rupiahs. Funny, isn't it?)

6. Want an item, Buy it after you look your money balance!

Hot Wheels Corvette C6R : 2008 Mystery Car for Blue Metalic Corvette

Another Loose photo from yesterday, Got chance to take photo of Corvette C6R that is owned by my friend, not mine. According to my friend he got it as a mystery car from Hot Wheels brand, and yeah this is right according to this. At first I get interesting by this model color and after look it for a while I'm trying to search about the real one, nice car I think. The real one looks great, so is the model made by Hot Wheels.

At front view, the model has its tone at the middle and on the both side it has yellow tampo and tone too. At the front-middle we can see corvette logo, small but quality enough for a logo. What make strange for me is its lamps, looks too big for me. The color quality that fused between metalic blue and yellow doing something great in here, but not as the lamp. may be it is more suitable if Hot Wheels makes a dedicated lamp by using transparent material. the yellow window color is not great too for me, at least they should make it more serious by using a natural color.

Hot Wheels Carbonator : Get Your Drink Now

Back writing about my collection again, now I have Carbonator 2014 from case E, According to Hot Wheels Wiki, Carbonator is casting based on a glass soda bottle on wheels with a large spoiler styled as a bottle opener. It's not like normal car, just fantasy car from Hot Wheels brand. In This post I will give a loose carbonator photo, since I'm planning to make my Carbonator as a key chain. This Hot Wheels model is quite popular right now in Indonesia, I don't know why may be for racing. The price for this model is not so special, you can get it with its normal price. But for me, I find this model has a good unique color and model as a fantasy car, may be just like Yellow Vandetta.

Hot Wheels Vandetta : The Yellow Transparent

In this post, I will put one of my collection that has a unique color, yeah I know that Vandetta series come with transparent color, but this one is different, great yellow transparent. yellow vandetta is quite popular in Indonesia, I will guarantee that it's hard to find in a shop. If you get this Hot wheels model from another collector, you'll spend money around fifteen thousands rupiahs more that when you buy t from the shop. This model is rare in Indonesia compare with the red one (note: we have red transparent model for 2014). One of the main reason why I take photo for this model is because I love its color, great job Hot Wheels for providing a great color.

The Yellow Vandetta model has a abstract tampo on its side body and has "6" tampo on it. You can also see small "Hot Wheels: tampo" on top of  "6" tampo. Another great color is green wheels. It's always cool seeing yellow and green color combined, moreover when these two color come with the transparent element. we can see that this model has two different wheels size, the big one for rear wheels and small one for front wheels. Not to forget that this item is good for track, we can see there is a Track stars information on top-left blister. Track stars may be the main reason why this item is hunted by some collectors. I never test it on the track, so don't ask to me. You can see from the photo below
