Hotwheels E09 Sighting & Haul

This week, my hometown finally got the latest wave of Hotwheels to hit Malaysia. Its the E09 wave - which can be identified easily with the presence of the blue Subaru WRX STI, red Aston Martin One-77, C6 Corvette and Dodge Viper GTS-R. This wave also came with loads more of the silver Aventador and green Aston Martin DBS.

When I was informed of the restock, I immediately rushed over to 1 Borneo Hypermall. Parkson received those new cars first. When I got there, there was a slight despair as the Subaru and Mazda RX-7 has been taken already!


So I just took one of the code cars Shelby and both the Aston Martin One-77. I love the striking red paint!




 However, on the next day, I was informed again that the Toys R Us at the very same mall has restocked the very same case or wave too. I had to make yet another 10 km journey just to get the Subaru!

I also got to see a wide array of new cars, they were great:


Lots of the Subaru I wanted too:


8 pieces altogether, I just grabbed one:


Here's a glimpse on the pegs at that TRU:



It was a great week hunting Hotwheels, and now it's time to take a short break once again till the next wave arrives!!

Bburago 1:32 Street Fire Haul, MISC

I went to Servay Penampang to do some household shopping. It is habitual for me that I stop by the toys section to see whether there were any new die cast vehicle models up for takes. There was a small restock for Bburago's 1:32 Street Fire collection. All are 2012 models.


The 2012 vehicles have their 'name tags' inside the box, and the 'stage' is no longer black plastic but made of cardboard. Most of these cars I've seen it a couple of times, but I found two new models I've never come across before.

Its the blue Hummer H3 and also a silver Mercedes Benz E Class Coupe. I couldn't resist the E class as it was a beautifully done model! I took no chances and immediately took these two off the shelf.



You may notice that the cars are priced at RM 10 above retail price; but that is nothing new for Servay. I'd rather sacrifice RM 20 than to never get the chance to see these on for sale in stores anymore.


I also got these two great looking Maisto models from their Custom Shop series. Check out that matte black Audi R8!! Servay also overpriced these..

G Case/ E07 Wave Haul, Bburago Aventador

I dropped by Metrojaya Suria Sabah last week, and I see that they have restocked for Hotwheels. I finally managed to find an orange Evo X and also the Cadillac Cien. This is the G case or E07 wave.


I turned to the back of the cards, and guess what. There is a price increase! Maybe this is the case just for Metrojaya Suria Sabah.


On a side note, I finally managed to buy all 3 variants for the Bburago Street Tuners series' Lamborghini Aventador. There are 3 colour variants to collect, and it just look great! This is the newest models in Bburago's 2012 catalog.


I'll try my best to take these cars out to the outdoors for some photography sessions.
