Haul - HW HONDA S2000

The much anticipated haul of the year has arrived, yes, the much talk about and much rave about casting by collectors has made it ways to me, hehe, But what is it? Its the 2011 Hot Wheels Premiere Honda S2000. 


Package arrived save and sound, an added bonus are those cool Stamps. Rarely received US package with stamps, usually with only the bar code stamping.. A little dented on the box, nothing major i hope.


Once open, all the cars are pack nicely and neatly in PAPER! Seller still uses paper for packaging material, now abit worries on the dented part of the box.. upon inspections, hmm seem "TAK KENA" (Didnt hit). Later found out that seller is being Green and environment friendly, hence no styrofoam / bubble.. kudos to the seller.



Once open all the packaging, and WOW..so yellow.. its the 1st color to the S2000 which only appear briefly in local market and many collectors wants to complete all 3 color variations. So here they are for your  eyes only.. enjoys.


The front and back of the card packaging shows US Long card, not much difference except for the car info shown which the international card do not.

That it for now, waiting for my other haul / package to arrive soon this week as well. Cheers.

2011 MYSTERY MODELS / CARS



Just when you thought that Mattel Hotwheels has done away with the Mystery cars segment series, here come a big blow to us collectors. Seem that there is a NEW Mystery series appearing in K-Mart in the States. Its called the Mystery Models which is in blind plastic baggie packaging. Each of these packet consists of a basic hotwheels models and a piece of catalog / poster showing all the models in the series and there are 24 of them all in total.


This is what / how the mystery models series being sold looks like. A big box with holes at both the bottom and top. Its looks like a FIFO (first-in, first-out) system. Packet is taken out from the bottom and replace back at the top. This will cycle the package randomly in the box if ones return the package taken from bottom. No more peeps holes or open carded, now all need to do is feel the packaging to know whats models are in them, unless they are wrap-up. Good luck.


 All 24 Cars line-up are listed below:

1. Custom Camaro
2. 24 Hours
3. 71 Dodge Challenger
4. 65 Ford Ranchero
5. 71 Dodge Charger R/T
6. 83 Camaro Z28

8. Dodge Drag Neon
