1st haul of the year

Despite of my hectic work sched this past few weeks, I somehow manage to attend the recently held DCPH swapmeet.  Here are my few latest haul for my collection. My 1st for 2013!

Corgi 1:43 Mini. My 3rd Mini from Corgi


Greenlight Series 8: Shelby Cobra. In general, Greenlight really does a good job on their castings. Regardless its scale (tad smaller) and price, it's a must have for diecast collectors.

...few more Shelby's... from Hotwheels Shelby 5 Pack. Shelby Cobra and Shelby Cobra Daytona.
..and another one, at the right - Shelby Cobra Daytona $TH. Still looking for a good deal for the Classic Cobra TH. Ha! 

...and last one, Flintmobile! ...to open or not to open???   ...nah, will keep this as-is :))

Thanks for viewing.  'til my next post. ciao!

Super Smooth

This is where it all started. My first diecast car I bought 10 years ago during my college days, '02-'03.

 
Hotwheels 1st Edition Super Smooth.  I really like this car, a '40ish customized GMC pickup, one of my favorite casting from Hotwheels. Unfortunately, they're not producing this one anymore due to some licensing issues (accdg. to Hotwheels.Wiki). But, I do hope they'll run this one again or include this on their Final Run Series though.

I have 7 versions of this car, but I haven't completed them yet. I still need to chase the other 4.  I've  already found the three but decided not to get 'em until I have the most elusive version first, the one that came from a playset. haha!


 This is an old photo of my Smooths.  Thanks for looking.  ciao!
