Unfortunetly for me, the choice in the mystery cars is rather not to my cup of tea with only a selected few (less then 1/2) of my choice. In the end, only manage to find some that i wanted (photo below) other still elude me.


Scion xB


Super Tsunami


Again this series is not available outside of the US, as to why i've no idea. Am lucky that Mattel Malaysia did a Promotion in 2007 called "HOT BOX" (will feature this article soon) which include a Mystery cars that enable me to complete them. Include are some photo of the 2008 Mystery cars that i got and wants. Enjoy.


Ford Mustang GT Concept

Ha.agreed with you,some of the 2008 Mystery car really look like garbage the one i hate the most was Monoposto..my choice will be Super Tsunami,66 Chevy Nova,70 Mustang Mach1

hehe..the Marc's Collections watermark a bit to big for the viewing pleasure of the car and hope to see more different angel shoot of the car..maybe try different background and location to make it look more fun and more interesting look on your blog >casualty and simplicity< would be find
cos'after all the CAR was the main hero on you blog..bye, have fun.
