Haul of the week (week 1- Feb 2010)

A near death experience for me when i saw a package arrived from the United States. When i reach home after work 1 day and saw this package on the table! . Must have gone thru hell and back to look like this .....


Another view of the package. Think the postal service was playing soccer with the package or something.


Thank the star and garters (quote by Dr. Henry McCoy aka Beast), the seller was careful enought to pack it double box and from the looks of it, not much damage to it.



Lo and Behold, the content inside the box. 3 pcs 2009 Mystery cars and a Dragstripe Demon car. And in a mighty good conditions too. Loving each of it.

BBURAGO : AUDI R8 (1/43)


BBURAGO (Italy die-cast brand) has recent release some of the newer diecast cars in 1/43 scale in its "Street Fire" series. The AUDI R8 in pearl blue color, also available in black is one of it. SRP is RM14.90, fairly reasonable for a simple 1/43 scale diecast.

Box packaging with see-thru window as shown in pics, nothing fancy. The brand, series and scale of the cars are display but not the car name. Car are not tie or hold firmly in box but loosely moving forward and backward.


The AUDI R8 feature pearl blue body paint with clear glass window. There side view mirror there, wheels and base are in plastic. The base are not screw or rivet to the car body but rather SNAP on it. Definitely suitable for those wanting to custom this as the base is easily to take out and snap back in.


Paint detail at the rear such as rear light and break light, Audi logo is clearly shown, as in the front hood. The wheels design is the same for other model in the series . Still at the price of rm14.90 a piece, its ok.

Overall, a nice decent piece of 1/43 scale featuring the newest model with a reasonable price in the market. This Audi done better then the GT-R as it got side mirror. Go for it if you collect this model in all its scale.


DEORA - HOT WHEELS RACING


The Deora was design by Harry Bradley and was release in 1994. Was also release previously in 1968 and was dub the Skyline Deora. This Racing Deco Deora was release in 1996 as a hotwheels bonus car.



Die-cast body featuring HotWheels Blue/white racing decal, #1 and "GoodYear".
Red plastic surfboard on body
White interior
