Back To The Past - Hot Wheels 2013 Green Chevy Camaro Special Edition

Hi, another post right after the previous thread. I know it's quite fast, and suddenly this blog has become more active than it was. I'm trying not to post up too many threads in a week, aiming for 3 threads a week, as I want to spread out my reviews on my collection. Because I'm trying to limit myself to adding 3-4 cars to my collection a month. So if I post up threads too frequent, I won't have much to show.

But today is an exception as I'm too excited. I have these photos in my computer library begging me to post these up for you. This specific model is interesting to me not just because it's fast and was featured in Transformers, but the detail of it and the color choice is just amazing. A yellow Camaro looks great, who'd knew a GREEN Camaro would look good too? If I had a top 10, I'd put this up in my top 10 of my collection. The rims are sweet too! The red lining goes so well with the base color, I just can't describe my excitement for this car.

Ok. Don't want to blabber off too much, I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do :)

Back To The Past - Hot Wheels 2013 Volkswagen Golf GTI

A back to the past thread, I bring you better pictures of one of my collections, the Volkswagen Golf GTI 2013 model. If you've followed my blog since the start, you'd know this was one of the first Hot Wheels cars I acquired to the start of my collection. But I personally thought that thread didn't do much justice especially because the real life model of this is my favorite, and I love to have better photos in each thread, so here they are!

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.
