I do collect 1/32 models as well, such as New-Ray, Bburago and Kinsmart. On a side note, I happen to own 4 1/18 models too. I really like Lamborghini cars!
I started collecting back in 2010, but I was still slow then. And then in 2012, I fired up and really started hauling new items, almost every week! I've planned to put my blog entries from a local perspective, so that collectors around the country and even the world can know about the latest stuff and arrivals concerning the hobby of die cast collecting in my hometown, Kota Kinabalu.
Okay, enough of words, time for some pictures. These are among my collection! Let's warm up..
First up, here's my Maisto 1/18 Lamborghini Murcielago, with both colour variants! I always focus on buying 1/18s only if they are from Parkson. Parkson always has 20% discounts off their die cast vehicle toys.
One of my favorite castings, Matchbox's Mazda 2! The details on the models are really great!
Siku Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren, nicely done.
And these are a few of my larger hauls of Hotwheels and Matchbox!
Mixture of waves and models hauled locally in May 2012.
These great gems are bought online as it would be almost impossible to get it from local stores here in Malaysia. The silver Porsche is a rare variant!
These two are bought from City Mall. I was really surprised when I found the black Infiniti G37 in the D51 wave. Its still a new model here. The blue Ford Falcon was from Popular Bookstore.
This silver Aventador and black BMW M3 GT2 are part of the E07 wave. I decided to buy this online too. Fantastic models!
This next one is one of my most memorable peg sighting at Giant City Mall. D51 cars which were all very cool!
What I got from this wave...
My first 3 2012 Matchbox, bought from City Toys at City Mall, though I needed to fork out RM 1 extra for each vehicle.
Based on my observation, there was only 1 SWAT truck, 1 Mini Cooper and 3 Aston Martin DBS Volante in this wave, among other models I did not buy. This is officially the first 2012 MBX wave to hit KK.
