Maisto - Mini Cooper

Yes, I've noticed it's not a Hot Wheels model today. But I found this among the other Hot Wheels models such as the Hot Wheels Steel Flame which I previously featured here.

Not much of a collection, but I got two, and I heard the value for two of these is slightly higher than its original value a few years ago. And the design though quite scratched up, is not so bad. As you noticed, both have different rims design. The green one has better 5 spoke sports rims than the red I must say. But overall besides the color, they're both exactly the same. What do you think? Let me know in the comments below :)

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.
