Retro & Pop Culture

Its about time Mattel hears us collectors but hope won't let us down along the ride. Am glad and happy that both adult collector series Retro Entertainment and Pop Culture has made its appearance in the local retail market. Heard rumors and such since December of 2012 that both these series might or might not appear in local market. 

Kudos to Mattel and Hotwheels to finally bring them in. At 1st the Pop Culture wave featuring the Looney toons appear in only selected specialty toy store (only 3 that i've known that sell those). Then early this month, the Muppets series made it ways to selected Hypermarkets and retail store. This week all hell break lose as Retro Entertainment wave 1 and 2 were release in as well. 

Thanks to collectors news and info, i've manage to score some nice pieces from both the series. Hopefully to find others in the series that i've miss out on. Oh, retail for both series is going for RM 19.90 each only. Good luck hunting.

Dairy Delivery - Modified Rides

Am loving the Dairy Delivery so much that i buy multiple of it for my collections. Its been 5 years (2004) since the Dairy Delivery appear in the basic mainline series (besides the Thunt in 2006) that i think most collector will grab this casting when see. I still remember that this casting being ignored on pegs and on seller table when i started collecting and few years down the road, well things change not for the better, certainly not for a DD collector.

Close of pics of all the color variations and the Silver is still my fav. of them all Cheers

Hot Wheels 2008 : TRU Dairy Delivery Xclusive

In May 2008, Hot Wheels and TRU (Toys R' Us) collaborate for an Exclusive Gaveaway of a Special Edition Dairy Delivery in conjuntions with the celebrating of Hot Wheels 40th anniversary celebrations.

[Souces quote from : HWC]

Ding dong, the Dairy Delivery® is here! The Hot Wheels® 40th Anniversary party continues with the Toys ‘R’ Us 2008 HOT WHEELS® Collector Edition Dairy Delivery® Promotion. All you have to do is buy 20 selected Hot Wheels® basic cars and we’ll send you a Hot Wheels® Collector Edition Dairy Delivery® with commemorative deco!

This Collector Edition of the Dairy Delivery® arrives in a matte black finish with a red and white Hot Wheels® flame deco emblazoned on the sides, red stripes riding up top, and a special deco commemorating the 40th anniversary of our beloved Hot Wheels® cars on the top and sides! The full die-cast body and chassis, Real Riders® five-spoke wheels with redline tampo, and clear windshields do this truck body good.

Packaged on a blister card that calls out “Collector Edition,” the Dairy Delivery® comes in a Kar Keepers™ clamshell. Milk never looked this good -- and these will go fast, so get ‘em while you can!

I have yet to get my hands on this Diary Delivery as yet, but i hope to get it soon. The detail and color is simply outstanding and awesome.
