Muscle Machines JGTC Wedssport Celica

Accidentally bought this to ease the combine shipping in ebay, but without realizing it has becomes one of my favourites!








i do have JGTC cars from tomica but this one here is definitely a step higher with its detailing..and most importantly, open-able doors! lol
later i found out that it is using the same casting of the Tamiya JGTC series like shown below;

wishing all my Muslim friends Hajj Mubarak!



A lil bit about hajj :the journey of a lifetime...


Matte Color Cars

i really have a spot for sport cars with matt colors..not only they look good on real cars but to scale models too..coincidentally, this year there's a bunch of nice matt color model releases..



the first one is corvette c6r which i got last month thanks to Alan for keeping one for me..it came with '34 Ford TH..which im yet to get a hold of..soon maybe..heh





then comes the Ford GT-LM..been aiming for this one since i saw the video of a visit to HW factory..its really cool and i think tampo-wise, this one stands up most..it came with Boneshaker TH.





and lastly the exotic looking Lamborghini Gallardo..the black looks so cool that u feel like buying more n more everytime seeing it on the peg..lol..this one came with Fire Eater TH.





there's another one that im still looking for which is the Lamborghini Reventon that came in matt grey color and together with Neet Streeter TH..the wave didnt managed to reach KL area thus i missed the chance to own it..hope my fellow members can spare me one..hehehe

Curi kereta - the doings of kids or adults??

ok not exactly as in real car but model cars..heh

went to 1U today as i heard there is a J-card members' sale today (24-25th nov), hoping to grab some nice stuff..turned out nothing nice at all and there were no discount for them either..lol

so went to Toys'R'Us(TRU) to see see..nothing new as well or kene sapu-ed maybe.
then at Jada corner i saw an empty card..supposedly to host the '63 VW bus pickup.



i encountered these kind of things before at other dept stores..




now im starting to wonder if these are really kids doing..it could be the case for the hotwheels card and packs but the Jada card..it required me to use a blade or scissors to cut it nicely..for a kid to leave the card condition like that is out of the question.
its a lil bit of a let down to know there are collectors like them walking around..not only they are part of the cause of the emergence of the "dead-boxes", but they pose negative views to the community.
hope they'll learn their lesson somehow..
