Hot Wheels RLC Boss Hoss Pink Party car rocks!

Set your alarm this coming 24th for the pink Datsun RLC Party car will be on sale in hotwheelscollectors.com if you happen to be one of the 17,500 RLC members. This is the same case for the Boss Hoss who is available last year on Oct 4th-8th at the 31st Annual Collector’s Convention.

A limited number were given out at the event and the rest was up in Hot Wheels Collectors (HWC) website months later available as a redemption car using RLC membership points. Just like the Priority Rewards Blue Boss Hoss the pink version with white combination is gorgeous.

It does not have a serial number on the package which I wonder why but damn it looks real good out of the blister! I have use the left over waterslide decals from the Blue Boss Hoss and it looks fabulous. See more of the Boss Hoss in Hot Kustoms YouTube channel. Enjoy the video!

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 Singapore as we do not even have the JH2.

Now lets get to the cars. If you are a loose and carded collector like me you will be disappointed to learn that there is only one VW Sunagon in the case. Hence you will be left an incomplete carded set if you crack open the Sunagon casting. I guess Mattel foresee this will be a pegwarmer hence they come out with one for a case which makes it 3 Ford Super Van. Why not the Skyline? :)

The Sunagon is not a new casting but I like the decor especially the wood panelling. It is also nice to see the 4 spokes wheelset which we commonly seen on a JDM to be on a VW. Actually the Gulf Ford super Van is my favourite maybe because of the Gulf theme. This is the first Gulf Van for the Gulf series and will look nice with any Gulf collection especially its orange wheelset. This may be even be a potential pegwarmer as well given 3 pieces per case.

Apart from the Skyline, I am also very looking forward to the Mooneyes VW T1 Panel Bus. With its bold distinctive Mooneyes icon against the signature Hot Wheels flames. This is definitely a must have for all collectors. It comes with moon wheels as well.

The Honda Odyssey and C10 Nissan Skyline are both new castings. I like the Bisimoto Odessey as it is clean and looks premium as well. It also comes with star wheels which is definitely a stunner! The Skyline wagon is actually the one I’m looking forward to. However I’m don’t feel really excited when I saw the casting. I don’t know why maybe its is overhype and oversell for the Skyline wagon that I have position this casting to my top lists and turns out to me not.

I still remember how excited I was opening the JH1 Datsun wagon and the TLV Datsun estate wagon but not this. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel for more updates and follow @hotkustoms in Instagram and Twitter.

Hot Kustoms Review: Hot Wheels 70 Mustang Boss 302

The 70 Mustang Boss is one of the coolest HWC release.

This casting is one of my most favourite muscle cars in Spectraflame Ice blue similar to the recent 510 Bluebird and RLC 2014 Corvette Stingray.

The boss makes a great pair with the '69 Mustang Boss STH.

I love them all. 2017 Hot Wheels Fast & Furious series.

Every time I watch the Fast & Furious sneak preview online, I’m looking forward to the Hot Wheels release as well. These F&F series with various movie cars in the assortment is no stranger to every diecast collector. Of course been located in Singapore it’s either I will get it later or never.

Thankfully my buddies from the north sent me a surprise package with the complete F&F set. So here they are. Usually I will dismiss a couple of casting, but this set is an exception I love them all. We have 4 JDMs in this series which is especially appealing to me as well.

The Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) is everyone favourite. This is the the third repeat variation and will always instantly disappear on the pegs. I still prefer the series 1 with a separate plastic spoiler. In series 2, the spoiler is incorporated to the body which I presume to cut cost. Nevertheless it is still the best seller and a treasure hunt in this series.

Another strong contender is the white Toyota Supra. Unlike the previous Supra. This is the iconic Paul Walker “One last Ride” in F7. It’s also popular among diecast customizer where they can plaster tampo directly on the white body.

Overall this is by far the best F&F Series in my opinion And the good news is it has drifted to Singapore this week. Happy Hunting!
