Hot Wheels 2013 Showroom Series - Lamborghini Aventador J

When Hot Wheels released the Lamborghini Aventador in silver, I was excited to get my hands on one. But then while browsing through the shelves at the store one day, I came across this Lamborghini Aventador J and just decided to buy it. I'm not quite sure if I might still get the silver one, but we'll see. For now, let's just focus on this one.

I quite hate the roofless concept of this one, as it looks weird to me. Seeing how Lamborghini has had most of its supercars with roofs, this one just looks too weird without the roof. From the design of its wide and long body, without the roof doesn't really compliment it to me. It just looks like another Bat-mobile from its old days designed just to look cool, but doesn't. But overall, I appreciate Hot Wheels effort to recreate this design into a 1:64 scale, but not Lamborghini's real car.

 

Hot Wheels 2013 Showroom Series - '12 Acura NSX Concept

A few days ago, I was just randomly looking through the store shelves, wasn't expecting to find anything. But then I came across these two fine looking exotic models which I HAD to take home. Knowing that I already have the silver Acura NSX Concept, I just had to have the RED.

Introducing, the '12 Acura NSX Concept in RED! It looks exactly same as the silver one that I got not too long ago. It's red, it's sporty, it's stylish and it's beautiful! I thought silver was sleek, but red just made it way sporty. I love every detail about it. I'm quite glad Hot Wheels decided to release the red version for this model. Maybe next year they'll release a BLACK version? Fingers crossed :)

As you noticed, I also managed to get the Lamborghini Aventador J, which is the convertible version. I'll try to feature it here in the next few days as I couldn't get the glue out to get the car out. But for now, let me know what you think of Hot Wheels' RED Acura NSX Concept? Good looking?

 Which one do you think stands out more? The Silver? Or the Red?

Model Of The Week: Hot Wheels 2013 Showroom Series - Ferrari 599xx

I know it's been a while since my last post. Been having trouble uploading the photos for my features. But finally, after waiting for quite some time, I finally got the Ferrari 599xx in my hands. I personally bought this one for quite a good price from a supplier in Penang. It took her quite a while to ship it out for me as she was busy as well.

The Ferrari 599xx, which I find is one of the most attractive among all the other models but probably close to 2nd of the Ferrari 458 Italia, this one has a more sporty look. Exceptionally perfect for those who admire speed and some man-power whereas the Ferrari 458 represents more of speed and class.

But back to the 599xx, just comparing it to the die-cast model and the real thing, it's just an absolute beauty! I'm quite proud having this among my collection, though I only have 3 Ferrari's in my possession. I do hope to acquire the Ferrari 458 Italia though.

 

And to sum up the week which was to feature all my Ferrari collections (though only three of em'), here they are together shining together. Enjoy!

Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comment section below!

Model Of The Week: Hot Wheels 2013 Showroom Series - Ferrari F12 Berlinetta

I'm so excited to show you today's model of the week, specifically, because it's the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta! I got so excited when I found this one on the shelf at the store, because it's so darn difficult to find an exotic car like a Ferrari on the shelf because around here, a lot of collectors or 'so called collectors' hunt down these exotic models or pay the store owners a bit to be able to get the models in their hands first before any regular collectors (like myself) can find them. And I guess, this was a lucky find for me. So for me personally, I'm quite proud to have this one among my collection as I've not seen another Ferrari F12 anywhere else in store except online where 'so called collectors' sell them for a higher price than its original retail value.

Anyways, down to the car itself! As I took it out of its package, I was just so occupied admiring the whole design of the car. The beige interior, the PR5 rims, and the whole shape of the model just represents the whole design of the real thing. But the only sad part about it is, the whole body is made out of plastic. Like.. IF you were to drop it, you'll just hear that terrifying let-down sound of a cheap plastic toy. I mean, I could probably say it's not cheap, but the plastic its made out from sounds cheap. So that was one of the things that worried me. The other part is again, like I mentioned in my previous post about the Ferrari 458 Spyder which I reviewed, about the missing Ferrari logo on the front bumper of the car which is obviously present on the real car. But overall, it IS a good 1:64 scale of the real thing, and I can really appreciate it. I can put this in my favorites among my collection!

The Ferrari 458 Spyder gets to shine as well :)

Hot Wheels - 2006 Austin & Morris Mini Cooper

Today, I'm proud to review one of the cutest and 'must-haves' Hot Wheels model, the Mini Cooper, also known as the Austin & Morris Mini Cooper. I have in my hands, the 2006 Hot Wheels edition which is painted in dark red and has yellow, white, silver, and blue tampos with the "Hot Wheels" wording on the sides and roof of the car. With a yellow interior and finally topping it off with PR5 chrome wheels, this car is worth collecting and keeping. I did do a search on the internet for other designs and have found quite a number of em' from the year 2000 till 2012, with plenty of different unique designs. If I find other designs, I'd definitely keep them. But it'd be difficult to find some of the older designs as this is very much obviously a collector's item, and to acquire one would either be luck or you have a lot of cash to spend. haha

Though this one I found was quite scratched up. Luckily the wheels are still in good shape and not rusted or faded. The color too is still in good condition. I do hope Hot Wheels comes up with more of these A&M Mini's in the years to come as I'll surely buy them off the shelves.
