Hot Wheels - Steel Flame

Today I present to you 2 latest grabs I found at my grandmum's place. Apparently, she has a bunch of Hot Wheels models stored in a box that my cousin and I use to play with when we were kids. Now that we're both grown up and no longer play with them, she keeps them in that box and I decided to 'borrow' a few to show you all :) I will return them definitely, soon! haha

I researched these two identical models and discovered that there are more of these but in different designs. But with me, I have the black Steel Flames, from the 2005 Hot Wheels edition and the copper Steel Flames from the Hot Wheels Crank ITZ 2004 editions.

Nothing much to say about these two, except that the whole design is spectacular, especially with the low rider theme to it like the real car itself. So I'll just let the pictures do the talking today :)

History

I used to collect Hot Wheels models before, especially these 1:64 scale models. When I was growing up as a kid, I used to play with them a lot when I owned a Hot Wheels city set (you know? The ones with the plastic-made roads, with different sets such as the Car Wash set, Car Park set, Police Station set, etc, which could be joined up with all the roads). Oh how I miss those days playing and growing up with those. Then one day as I was near the end of my high school days, I decided to sell my Hot Wheels collection as I needed the money. But my mistake which I regret to this very day, was not knowing the true value of each of my models. And so I sold about 113 1:64 scale models for only RM100. I feel like kicking myself every time I think about that day.

Now I've just grown into the 20's, and I feel proud in starting my Hot Wheels collection again. It's been tough, deciding whether to get into the hobby again. But here I am, doing what makes me happy! And I'm sharing with all you readers here, my collection.
