FunkiMonki with 24/7 reporting in...sir yes sir!!



Ten Four!

I thought they busted the ppl smuggling HWs out of the Msian Mattel factory.. And you dun get to see the word HOT WHEELS published on the front page@!!!

This bluebird is one of my fav car. BUt i havent spotted the yellow colored version til now. Need to look wider coverage. Variety of different assortments at different places.

Wow, new Garage models again? Where can find?

In terms of packaging, it looks errornous to me. Its a HW car wanting to rest like a matchbox car.

Beat having hairs in the packaging.

Maybe that particular model was confiscated from a staff who tried to bring it out under his/ her pants. Then returned to the packaging line..OMG!

Yeap...its not often i see a t-hunt on the pegs. Have to be fated and be on right time to get the t-hunt. Zoom zoom, me saw TRU Ikano brought out one case of F on Mon. But another collector got the t-hunt and mustang..seen from afar.

Me long time no shopping for cars, only manage to buy this new Vintage model car which is colorful than the earlier offerings.



There were mud green and yellow cars too but not enuff moo.

Also spotted this cute maisto back slider at Daiso.




Side track abit...a maid theme cafe at E-Curve. Hopefully one day the die-cast collectors can open a HW/MBX themed cafe.

Should have a Hot Wheel cafe where the members can hang out and even have some food and beverages. Free HW stickers or cards for kids.
And there are various HW/MBX/ other brands display cases surrounding the premise. In the centre, lies the ulitmate track set.

HW KIds Value Meal...mystery car as freebie.

Kepompong, i got them from TRU Ikano. After i checkout, i noticed the labelling peeling off. Underneath is another description. The 2nd card also have the same labelling. Didnt noticed it when they were on the pegs cuz lighting too dim.

Ikea and Ikano are bro and sis building..walk a bit only ma. Popular Bookstore also have HWs, found some cars which my friends were looking but all shrink wrap air tight sealed. Bent the cards that my friends dun want.

Tesco also have new cars cuz they looked new and were not in battery cases.

Johor got LEGOLAND coming up..hope Mattel can build one MATTELanD or HW Paradise Garage...where you bring in the HWs for "repairs and upgrades".

I heard rumor of price increase for HW and MBX next month. And poster not even available yet.

Its just rumor but even some Giant hypermarkets and Cold storage have been selling at RM 7.99 since start of the year.

TRU supervisor told me that Mattel considering offering whole box for sale. One box got 72 pcs = RM 496.80 = 496 star points. Not sure the proposed price but i only like exotic models so the whole box is full of mystery models...dun want to take risk.

One more thingy, i got me new Speed Machines and the card size also shrunk. Now priced at RM 16.90 at most toy dept stores but 7-11 still selling at RM 14.90 ea. Less material used but price gone up. Think i want to start buying loose cars from fleamarket.

Is this another card variation? Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern on the card. Found a few models with this banner. One collector told me that these are collectibles cuz the cars are appearing in the upcoming Green Lantern movie.



Anyhow i buy one for fun.

Lunch time sneaking out to Jusco, found me a GARAGE 71' Dodge Challenger. Top card stated "Hal Jordan's......" The green also infected the GARAGE series' cards.

Could this model appear in the movie? Not bad marketing strategy.

Too bad transformers is Hasbro, if not Hot Wheels will post bumblebee picture on camaro concept or ironhide on his pickup model type. Yea!

That lorry above HW or MBX brand?

Ahh...reminds me of my early bling bling findings. Zoom zoom, bro tkt have mustangs available.

Hopefully next massive restock would be either the el camino or chevy truck wave.

I want to get this Dodge Van cuz it has bling bling rims and fire effect tampos. Didnt see these at Jusco restock. Now have buy 3 free 1 promo.

Guess the cars from top to down?

Hu hu sexy! Is that zoom zoom's ferrari.?

I just bought a HW GARAGE Plymouth Roadrunner from Jusco. I dunno why but its colors and rims reminds me of a t-hunt model which I saw many years back. The Green Lantern fever must be catching up to me. Furthermore price of GARAGE and VINTAGE at Jusco is RM 16.90 with 10% off.

I bought the GARAGE cars for RM 16.90 with additional 10% at Jusco Sunway this week. Twice i have been there and twice i got the discount. Last i checked it is Jusco Sale time and there is 10% green sticker on the price tag on all GARAGE.

BTW my mistake, Vintage price still RM 19.90 only the GARAGE models are RM 16.90 reduced. Maybe for Jusco Sale period.

Which model you want? PM me so I can score for you at RM 15.21 when i visit Jusco again. Third time's the charm.

Daiso shops also offers some suitable casing to hold loose cars.
