1:64 BMW Vision EfficientDynamics
First saw this car on an advertisement last year..there are many concept cars introduced through out the year but this one in particular really stands out! even more so when it is featured in Mission Impossible 4 movie..thanks to hokuan for bringing this one in bulk! Love it!

HW 2010 : Dodge SRT8
As u guys probably notice by now, I'm not really a muscle car fan.
but i fancy cars with heavy tampo/decals on it.
I've been eyeing this SRT8 because of its K&N tampo,
so i could match it with my Jada VW K&N Pickup.
and they really look good together. :)

Jada Option D - Nissan Skyline R34
Nissan Skyline R34 with MotoRex Decals.
Option D series wave 9
And Lastly..this time no skirting it too low :P
overall i think the casting of this skyline could be better..but the impression of the tail-lights at least is perfect..the evergreen design will last forever..just like the EK of civic...
i'm loving the last shot in this post very much :D

C6R GT
Wow, yet another C6R related entry.
well since i got many pictures to post, i need to break it up to several entries.
in this entry i want to compare the C6Rs from Jada and Hotwheels.
so pictures 1st..(as usual, click for bigger images)
Click For More Pictures...
Jada cars are always bigger than normal 1/64 cars, even though they categorized their cars as 1/64 scale too. anyway i did think at 1st that hotwheels version is nicer due to the decals, but after comparing them side by side, i guess Jada still wins..IMO, the casting looks more accurate and the bigger size is more satisfying.
but Hotwheels decal design plus the co-mold wheels are irresistible too!
in case you are wondering, the hotwheels follows the
2007 LAGUNA SECA / 2007 ALMS version
while Jada follows the 2005 Sebring GT1 version
man, if Jada comes out with the ALMS version too, im pretty sure to grab it! :)

Jada C6R
Jada BigTime Muscle - Track Series.
2008 production wave 16.
A friend of mine bought it for me while he was in Aussie..thanx :)
This C6R is based on the GT1 Corvette C6.R debuted in 2005 as the successor of C5.R
There are lot of die-cast manufacturers produce this car in 1/64 scale like
Jada, Hot wheels, Kyosho and Greenlight, proof that the car is really popular back then till now.
anyway here are the pics! (click for bigger images)
as usual, the favorite pickup truck will bring the car to the studio..lol
somehow its funny the car came with chrome rims,
but you'll get used to it after a while..cause its still looks superb!
and if u compare it with the real car above, it perfectly replicating it.
with almost all the decals being present in the body design.

Now here's one funny thing about Jada that i noticed recently. when i started collecting Jada cars,
i only go for Japanese cars. and ALL their japanese cars have very negative tire offset..lol
u can refer to my Jap cars from Jada entries to see.
so now that i started buying cars other than Japanese cars, i realized that the cars from other makers have a proper offset! so i was thinking if the "deep dish" wheels in the Japanese car models are intended..
perhaps they designed the cars based on "Ah Bengs" cars in the US? LOL >_>

Jada Option D 5-Deep
It's hard to get Option D cars in individual packaging nowadays since it was a 2005-2006 production,
unless u hit ebay.
after searching for it at most online hobby stores, i found one at Collectable Diecast online shop.
got it for USD14.99 i think..which means around MYR10 per car..yes, so bloody cheap.
i think 5-Deep in TRU Malaysia is sold at around MYR120 each. T_T
below are the cars in the 5-pack
this 300ZX casting is not really accurate IMO, too bulky looking.
really glad to have them in my hands as it was the last unit in stock. :)

Highway Haulers
I noticed most of the die-cast brands i collect have their own car carriers.
so i have this idea to compare which one of them is the most practical. (click for bigger pics)
Lets start off with '63 VW Bus Pickup from Jada
it is not really a Jada's own design but the VW bus surely is a must have by all die-casters..the sliding bed can be tilt down to make the angle like shown above. the bed has a good grip to prevent the car from sliding backwards in this position.
as u can see the CTR is not the longest casting of mbx but it fits just nice on the bed. this means normal Jada castings wont fit on it unless u slide the bed a lil bit backwards..other than that its just superb..in term of design i like this one the most..well it has to be to justify its price..heh
Next is the Highway Hauler from Matchbox.
this is the first car carrier i have in my collection. it used to be my favourite, well, mostly because it was the only one i had at that moment..heh
it's almost impossible to do what i intended to do in the picture above..though the design allows it to imitate a real car carrier but still it can't really hold the position. i put several items at the back, below the bed, and at the front to support the car and the truck in that position, hence the obvious photoshopped pic..hahahah
the beautiful VW sirocco is quite small and yet like the Jada VW bus, it doesnt really fit onto the truck, and that I need to adjust the bed to allow it to fit nicely..but at the first place, i think the truck itself is not in 1/64 scale.
in term of design, i think its perfect since it really replicates the usual carrier truck we see on the road everyday..it will be even better if we apply some detailing of course.
Then lastly is the Back Slider from Hot Wheels
I wish the truck to be a lil bit bigger than it is but i guess it will then be hard to fit into a standard blister card so cant do much about it.
other than that, nothing about the truck's features disappoint me..u can easily snap the angle in the picture above without the need to worry if the position will hold on or not..actually the bed can slide further backwards till it hit the ground to make it more natural but i didnt notice it until i uploaded this pic.
the build is really solid that even if u shake the truck a bit, the car above it wont fall off..the design of the sliding bed is perfect that it can hold any casting no matter how big or long the car is..well as long as it's in 1/64 scale of course. the unique position of the bed which is on top of the truck is also well thought to preserve space for the car..and without realizing the tilt-up bed actually adding the sweetness to the evo-x featured in the pics.
In conclusion, i would say the Back Slider from Hotwheels is the most practical hauler among all three. sadly i don't find any hauler from Tomica yet so the review is some sort not complete but for now, HW pawns..lol
