Hot Wheels 2013 Showroom Series - '73 Pontiac Firebird

Before I get to it, I woke up extra early today to drive to the post office nearby to collect my new package. Something which I found and ordered on eBay which I think is a good deal knowing a few days later the seller raised his price slightly higher than the price I bought it for. I'll definitely feature it soon when I can figure out how to get the package of the car open without damaging it.

Today I look at one of my grabs I found a few weeks ago, the '73 Pontiac Firebird. Although there's nothing much about this model, I do admire the tampos on the whole car. The choice of color on the flames along the sides is brilliant especially because it's one of my favorite colors. I do have the urge to change the wheels, or probably add some color to it, but that's my taste. Other than that, I don't have much to say about this one, so I'll just let the pictures do the talking :)

The car still in its package, unopened. Took me quite some time to get it open without damaging it, but failed miserably.

And we move on to its studio pictures:

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.
