MINI GT doing it right!
So far I’m very pleased with all my MINI GT collection from the very first FK8 in (Blue) to the improved version in Red. Yes they have delays and recalls to correct their QC issues but that’s ok. As collector what we like is to see quality in our mini cars collection and not defects. Apart from the regular edition MINI GT pushed further to come out with a series of Liberty Walk Nissan GT-R that are welcome by many collectors which we can only see the custom version in the past. From the Duck tail light blue to the latest GT Wing Matt Gray …
Understated Chase. M2 Machines Auto Japan 2 1971 Skyline
After my luck for finding a chase 1969 Nissan Bluebird 1600SSS for Auto Japan 1. I have almost forgotten I order a random M2 Machines Auto Japan series 2 case in hope for getting chase car which we all know the chances are slim. Hence the case arrived which I did an unboxing video in my YouTube channel. To my surprise i score a regular chase limited at 750 pieces again! Unlike the Datsun Bluebird regular chase with gold wheels, this 1971 Skyline come with a chrome deep green wheels which looks really hidden and can’t really differentiate betwe…
Still no sign of Hot Wheels Cargo Carriers...
After the JH2 series comes the Hot Wheels Cargo Carriers for the latest Car Culture instalment which I did an unboxing video on YouTube. It is a pain on the mental and wallet for majority of Hot Wheels collectors outside USA. We have to resort ordering online instead of just picking them up on pegs. They may come in weeks or months or never after USA releases. Of course these are the new breeds of CC which Mattel set them at a higher price. I can see the effort and details but I just could not come to terms with the card. The oversize card no …
Hot Kustoms Unboxing: Hot Wheels Cargo Carriers with Nissan C10 Skyline ...
And so without waiting for another few more months or never for the Car Culture Cargo Carriers to hit my local stores. I got myself a case and did a quick unboxing video. First of all while the cards are nice in presentation it is cumbersome and a waste of storage area. The outer case has becomes bigger which adds more to shipping and most of the cards are warped due to the way its been packed. I hope Mattel will go back to its original card size and save a dollar or 2 on our pockets although I do not really know the retail prices in Singapo…

Hot Kustoms Review: Tomica Limited Vintage X LOG-ON Nissan GT R Nismo HK...
This is probably the 20th Nissan GT-R R35 Tomica Limited Vintage (TLV) has released but so far the second exclusive car. The first was 2017 Nismo GT-R TakaraTomy Mall web exclusive specially for the TLV version. The current one is the LOG-ON store exclusive which was announced by Tomica Hong Kong Fan page last month with pre-sale the LOG-ON page which was suprisingly sold out the day before the actual sales that we have to get from resellers. It is interesting that TakaraTomy has weighted on much on the Hong Kong market recently. There are a h…

Hot Kustoms Review: Tarmac Greenlight Vs Hot Wheels F&F Skyline R34
Happy to score a recent Tarmac Works Greenlight collab "For Paul" F&F Chase and regular. It is also interesting to note the change in trend for the Green Machine Chase. Recently more chases do not really come with Green Wheels nor body instead they come in other color variation and treatment for the wheelset such as the one in this video with raw body. It makes a nice pair with the recent Hot Wheels F&F R34 release as well around the same price range. Please subscribe to my channel for more updates and follow @hotkustoms in I…
