Hot Wheels Haul - D Case (2012/11/29)

D case is here!

i have not seen A, B and C case, and now D case is here?? =.=" lots of nice car in this wave. code at the bottom of the car is E43 mix with E42.

almost all the tesco restock this D case at the moment. they have increase their hw price from RM6.90 to RM7.50, but they are running a promotion of buy 2 free 1 starting today until not sure. oh ya i forgot to mention that the fast fish is the hidden treasure in this D case.

btw one side note, it's good that now mattel printed the car name at the bottom of the card instead of on the side. now i do not need to flip the card one by one anymore to spot the car i want, just squad down and you can clearly see all the car name at the bottom on the card.

Hot Wheels Haul - Unexpected Find (2012/11/27)

it has been a long long time since i found a hw super TH$ or superise cars, look at what hang on the rack today?

i was expecting the minion pig in this wave but non to be found. infact there is no nice cars to buy from the rack except that superise. not sure the case has been filtered or not but if yes, someone must have been careless and leave the ford torino behind. lol. btw there was one small stories behind this find.

yesterday me and my colleague was rounding the toys department as usual after lunch. my colleague was not really into hot wheels, but i told him recently hot wheels came out with the angry bird and minion pig and he is very interested to get them. so as usual, we went to one of this department store and start looking for the hw bird and pig. when we arrived at the peg, i notice there was 1 car from then new wave haging on the peg. but the strange thing is there is just this 1 car from the new wave on the rack, the rest are those cars from previous wave that has been rotten on the pegs for donno how long already. i was so excited because i think this new wave came with the minion pig so both me and my colleague can get some.

being a hw collectors for many years and very frequent visit to this department store, i know the rest of the new stock is still keep in the store room. so i took that one and only new wave car and approach the floor manager. below is our conversation:


me: sir, do you still have more of this new hot wheels cars that is still not displayed?
manager: no more, that's all.
(as expected and the answer 99% of the time)
me: can you check in your store room? i think they are still in your store room.
manager: no more, all hang on the rack already.
me: i don't think so because this is the new restock car. those on the rack are the old one.
manager: no more. only 1 case come. 2 days ago. must be customer bought all already only this one left.
(i was like, wow! restock 2 days of 72 cars and left only 1 car. if this hw is selling so good then why you just order 1 case? should have order 10, 20, 30 cases! good business. lol.)
me: it can't be left just one car, one case got 72 cars you mean all sold already?
manager: yes just left this one car.
me: i'm a collector, i know for sure there is more hw in your store room. this is not the first time i visit your toys department. i have been coming here almost daily for 4 years already.
manager: yes i know you are a collector, but no more.
(i know no point argue with him anymore because he is answering me with his arrogrant face.)
me: ok fine if you do not want to bring the stock out then nevermind. it's your sales lost, not me.
manager: yes i know it's my sales, no problem, thank you.

i just don't understand why the manager is so reluctant to bring out the stock for me to buy. and this is not the first time i ask him already when new stock came. it's not that i want to steal the stock, i want to buy, plus the rack is also half empty! i don't know why he want to lie to me. perhaps he reserved the stock for his prefered customer to come and 'filter' first? or maybe he just want to play a fool with me do not want to let me buy? btw isn't every store main objective is to push more sales? or they have change the objective to keep the more stock in store room? lol.

anyway, i went back there again today, and the rest is history shown in above pic. i guess the manager realise it's "DOSA" (sin) to lie that's why today he display everything on the rack. you can lie to a person maybe that come to that place once a month or once a week. but try to lie to a person that drop by the rack EVERYDAY? common la, i know when your stock arrive and i know what day it appear on the rack. don't try to bullsh!t me with all bought by customer or hang on the rack few days already.

ok enought rant. close up pic.

anyone want this torino it's available for trade. leave me a message here in the comment section.

Parcel from Ebay - 2012/02/02

it has been ages since i last update my blog. Busy with my family, busy with my work, and most importantly, busy with my life. lol.

anyway, received a call from post office today to go and collect my parcel. Didn't expect it to be so many! Normally I will received 2 or 3 parcel from ebay everyweek, but this time somehow they all come together at the same time.



one of the box that contain all the yummy JDM cars. hehe.




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

and here is most of the items from all the boxes. some of the items are not in the pics cause i lazy to arrange them. lol.



most of the items will be going to my sales in Low Yatt forum soon. I'm sure you know where to find it. hehehe.

What will you do?

if you stumble upon this pile hot wheels case, what will you do? jumping and dancing in joy? thanks God of hot wheels you finally stuck 'gold'? lol.



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

well this is what i stumble upon today, the biggest pile of hot wheels cases that i have seen so far after 3 years of collecting hot wheels. it was really shock to me to see such a huge quantity of restock in this hypermarket. there are at least 50 cases up there!

N and M indicated that this is the latest wave that's been restock in our shore recently. So what will you do? pull a chair start taking down those box by your self? claim 'customer is always right' and open up ALL the box one by one even without asking permission? 'sapu' (hoard) all the TH and other hot car from the box?




if you want to 'explore' those box, please ask the permission from the staff first ya. don't be like some of those DESPERATE collector that trespassing into the hypermarket store room without permission, or start digging out the box and leave a mess of it. understand that 'customer is always right', but i'm sure you don't want to end up beeing escorted out by security or beeing ban from entering the hypermarket again, right?

so guess what i do when i saw those boxes? well believe it or not, i just select some of the cars from the pegs without even touching a single box of those. lol. too much hasle to take down those boxes just for a few car that i want.

so for you that have been looking new restock, you can try your luck in this hypermarket. but from the look of the boxes seems like all has been opened up. so don't put high hope for those hot car like skyline R32 and honda civic ya.

oh ya almost forgot, where is this hypermarket? :)
