Today's Haul And Sighting Report With New MBX Restock

I headed down to KK Toys in the city again today and I decided to buy these 3 this time:
The cute garbage truck from 2010 is aplenty there (3 more left); the City Bus about 2 more there. Unfortunately there wasn't a sight of the 2011 variant of the garbage truck in KK.

I finally got poisoned by the HW Land Cruiser FJ40!


FYI, KK Toys has a huge restock of Tomica cars. I'm not into Tomica so I just looked at what models are on sale, and it is indeed interesting. Too many to list here~


The highlight of today's hunting was this sight:

I think collectors should know where this is. The cars are sold at RM 6.90 each, and since its the school holidays, there is a 10% discount. They deduct 10% off the total cost for the cars you buy, not 10% individually for every car. So if you buy more at one go, you save more too! Most likely they have just put all these cars out from their store room yesterday night or just this morning since the pegs were full!

This is the D25 wave, where most collectors can find the blue Nissan Cube, yellow Mini Cooper and Dodge Challenger with ease. This is my 5th time spotting this wave on the pegs. IMO, the hardest car to find in this wave is the white Mazda 2. In my opinion, other than its tampo, the Mazda 2 is too plain. Plus there is no painted lights; so I left it there. For Hotwheels, there has not been a restock in this store lately.

So if you're still missing cars from this wave, go get it now!


HW Megane Trophy With Ripped Card

I spotted this poor Megane Trophy lying down facing upwards at Giant City Mall last weekend. No one seems to want to buy it due to the torn card. It was lying there for a few weeks, while there was another Megane Trophy there with a perfect card. That one was gone within two weeks, but not this one. This must be a playful kid's job with itchy hands. What would you do if you spot your favorite casting in this condition? Would you buy it too? This one would make a good candidate for uncarding...

I like the combo of purple with yellow rims!
