some hypermarket restock hotwheels and matchbox stock today, and this Holiday Hot Rod 3 cars pack is one of the new stock that i saw for the first time in our local market. sorry for the blur pic... =.=" but don't worry i'm very sure soon this 3 cars pack will flooded in our market.


each pack consist of 3 cars, and it has a total of 8 different cars.

2. 65 Chevy Impala
3. Swoop Coupe
4. Chaparral II
5. Olds 442
6. Whip Creamer II
7. Austin Healey
8. Sweet 16

all these cars are not really my cup of tea, and with the selling price of RM19.90, i'll pass it for the time being.

some other sighting today are matchbox 5 cars pack is selling @RM10 !! that's a steal man. lol.


needless to say i bought all the matchbox 5 cars pack there. lol. i'll keep some of it and the other will be a perfect present to some children during x-mas time. hehe.


Jusco Maluri also restock 2 boxes of mustang wave today. except the mustang and DD, all the other nice car that came in this wave still hang nicely on the rack. this store is also one of the suspected doom store in my list before time will come for me to confirm it. oh btw this jusco also restock at quite a number of matchbox basic cars and it's selling at RM4.90 only. this is what i bought. new wave? hmm....



i think there's at least 3 boxes of matchbox cars restock and all are pour into a big bin. there are still a lot of nice car to grab there eg, icecream truck, mazda 2, mitshubishi l200, merc benz slr etc.

Kotobukiya - HoiHoi-San

some little background of hoihoi-san extracted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichigeki_Sacchu!!_HoiHoi-san

"In the year 20XX, insects have become immune to all pesticides. To combat the rising plague of cockroaches and other household pests, the tiny, doll-like extermination androids known as "Hoihoi-san" were created. They can hunt down insects and kill them with such miniaturized weapons as minuscule machine guns and tiny combat knives. They can also (and at the same time) be treated as dolls, by dressing them up in costumes and buying accessories for them. The main robot of the anime wears a maid uniform and rabbit ears as accessories."

i place an order in hlj for this model kit the moment i saw its pic on the net even not knowing any background of this cute little girl. lol. only a handfull of hobby shop in KL bring in kotobukiya stock. so it's better for me to pay a little bit more extra to bring it in from hlj rather than miss it totally later.

Hotwheels Hunting Report - 03/11/2009

it has been a while since i last post a hw hunting report. well when i posted hunting report i'll share some interesting story on the particular store that i visited, and this time is TRU pavillion.

>> click to read more - click again to hide <<

i was on my routine pit stop after lunch and stumble upon another hw restock at TRU pavillion. i saw there was a box of hw basic car beside the counter table and from the code printed on the box i know it's ford mustang wave box. and i know it's brand new stock cause this store have not restock ford mustang wave before this.

so i ask that skinny young chap (which i think is a new recruit) at the TRU counter (where the box was laying) is there any new hotwheels stock arrive. expect the standard answer - "no, and all the new stock already hang on the rack." lol. well i have no choice but pointed to him the box laying on the floor and ask him isn't this new stock? guess what he answer? "oh that box is new but it contain old stock waiting to be transfered to another branch." i was like WT* you think i this is the first time i visited here? lol. of course i don't believe him and i can already sense something fishy. anyway, i walk to the rack and hang out for a while there, and i notice he came and peep at me and see what i'm doing. the moment i look at him he turn away and walk back to his counter.

so i walk back to him, and told him in straight face that all thoose hang on the rack are old stock and i know this box contain new stock that i want to buy. reluctantly he let me see the box, and it was what i expected - there's only 71 cards in the box. so i ask him one box should have 72 cards how come this one only 71? what that guys answered is not important, but from the way he answer me and his body language, i'm 100% sure he is the one that took the ford mustang. he didn't even dare to look at me when i ask him the question or answering me. lol.

i do not want to make a big arguement with him or accusing him, so i just took the yellow dd and gtr and pay at the counter. well at least this incident opened my eyes yet on another doom store. but looking at the bright side, at least it's 71 cards in the box and not 70. get what i mean? :D

oh btw, i only took the yellow dd and gtr. if you are looking for the other cars that came with the ford mustang wave, eg. AMG Merc DTM, 2010 Viper, tooligan, 2010 bettle bug etc, this might be the place you want to pay a visit. make sure you act fast before it dissappear from the rack.

happy hunting. :)
