Hot Wheels And Matchbox Haul - 2011/04/08

here are some of the hot wheels and matchbox cars that i pickup from 7-Eleven and various store locally. this time is really bought locally ya. :p




for hot wheels, the morris mini is the hardest one to find. not because of limited restock, but people is hoarding (yes i really mean hoarding!) dozen and dozen of the morris mini as can be seen from the posting in our local forum. all are so proud to be able to find so many mini....

as for matchbox, there are some new matchbox wave that's been restock in 7E now. the matchbox new wave do come with some very nice cars. i was quite surprise to see the quick sander and lotus evora in 7E as i do not see any people posted this 2 cars in their recent purchase from 7E.

did you guys stumble upon this quick sander and lotus evora often in 7E? i know i don't because so far i only see them once from around 15 7E that i visited.

Past few weeks 7E finding.

here are some of the cars that i manage to find a couple of weeks ago in 7E. notice some of those helpful 7E staff that helping me bring out the hw cars for me to choose? :p

not a bad result for a couple of hours search in just 2 days. :)

notice the different body colour tone of these 2 custom 53 cadillac? the upper one has darker colour than the lower one.


well everytime during the hw 7E promotion, there are sure some interesting story/incident that either i experience my self or heard from the 7E staff. there are story about collector that insulting 7E staff that doesn't want to bring out the hot wheels stock, collector that trailing the delivery truck, 7E staff that claim them self as hw collector by just collecting 'green card', 7E staff that even bought the 'green card' but have no idea why he bought that 'green card' lol.

But the one that disgust me the most was this incident in this recent 7E promotion where i was told by one of the 7E staff a person that claim himself from Mattel demanded him to open the hot wheels case to do 'Price Check'. WTF.... more story about this incident in my next few post.

yes it's hot wheels and matchbox promotion time again in 7-Eleven. these are some of cars that you can find in 7E this time around.



for hot wheels, basically the wave that restock in 7E store are the cadillac and shelby cobra wave with the ratio of 70% (cadillac wave) and 30% (shelby cobra) wave. most of the cars in shelby wave is the mix of cars in cadillac wave and ford gtx1 wave. so there's nothing to shout about on the cars in this shelby wave other than the TH shelby cobra it self....

for matchbox, look out for the highly sought after blue civic type-r and white mini cooper. hot wheels speed machine came with the mix of the yellow ferrari 599xx and black ferrari 599xx wave.
